Films based on the lives of the right people need to balance the small part between to stick to the real story and throw parts of it to the wind to make things more exciting. The monkey's biopic thematic themes Robbie Williams "Better Man" learned firsthand that doing things is too strange, as it The bizarre film became the first big box -2025. On the other hand, stylish exaggeration can benefit and film - for example, "Amadeus" in 1984 is the best musical biopic of all time and also cheerfully false.

Clint Eastwood's controversial military film in 2014 "American Sniper" It was a big hit on the box office, and the movie "Based on a True Story" means that it deals with the usual biopic challenges. The film tells the story of Chris Kyle (played by Bradley Cooper) - a well -known sniper navy with over 160 confirmed killings - and is based on his 2012 memoirs of the same name. He was nominated for six awards at the Academy (taking Oscar for the best achievement in sound editing) and received praise from veterans for showing the war in Iraq. On the other hand, her incessant praise to Kyle, a suspicious depiction of "savage" enemies, and the attitude of "America is always right" has attracted criticism.

While the "American sniper" shows certain events that have actually happened, the film also comes with a list of inaccuracies and biopic unusuals - and unless the viewer comes in with a deep knowledge of Kyle's personal history and the war in Iraq, many of them can be significantly more difficult to see. Let's look at how accurate the "American sniper" is.

Film adaptation of memoirs can be a tricky thing, and on certain key occasions, the "American sniper" decides to disrupt Chris Kyle's story. In fact, Kyle is on the first scene of the film when she sees a woman handling the boy's anti-tank and sends the Marines to us. This is a beautification: a similar scene appears in the book, but with only the woman and far less powerful explosives. There is also a noticeable scene that is a complete fabrication: the incident where Kyle's team occupies a temporary shelter in the civil family house, just to end up fighting them when the sniper reveals cash cash he reveals as rebels.

Another significant change in Kyle's story in the film is his motivation to become a military man. Kyle's screening joined the Navy after seeing footage of the 1998 US Embassy's bombings, nothing to do with reality - the real Kyle enrolled shortly before it happened and always wanted to do so. Other major changes include the work of Kyle's colleagues, Ryan Bigles, who dies in Iraq in the film. In reality, he was blind and died in 2009, after undergoing a facial reconstruction surgery in Arizona. Kyle's tendency to use satellite phones in a medium mission to talk to his wife Taya (Siena Miller) is also greatly exaggerated for a dramatic effect, and the film differs from the book when it comes to showing the couple's relationship and interactions.

Jeanan-Quesak Arnaud's 2001 film "Gates's enemy" shows the fictional duel between UDEUD law as the renowned adviser to world second Vusili and Ed Harris as an alleged (but historically very suspicious) German legend of Sniper Erwin Kinig. The "American Sniper" is set for a similar approach by imposing Kyle against the feared Syrian sniper known only as Mustafa (Sammy Sheikh) - an anonymous spirit of death whose only definitive features are his deadly accuracy and his background as a sharp Olympic Games. Repeated presence in the film, Mustafa poses a serious threat, to the point that it is the one who kills Bigles. Appropriate for Sniper Duel Setup, the film also puts the film on the reception of the famous 2,100 yards of Kyle.

Mustafa, as it appears in the film, never existed. While a sniper with that name with speculated history as an Olympian, he is briefly mentioned in the book, Kyle specifically wrote that he had never interacted with man. On the contrary, he mentioned hearing that Mustafa may have been killed by another American sniper. As such, he was not the target of Kyle's famous shot, 2,100-yard hit in a rebel shell.

However, at least Mustafa was actually mentioned in memoirs. The same cannot be said about the butcher (Mido Hamada), a brutal villain with a note with zero redemption characteristics that function as a key goal of the Navy ... and does not appear in the book at all. The butcher may or may not extract a loose inspiration from the real life of the Shiite Muslim militia, known as Abu Deraa (who has nothing to do with Kyle), but sincerely, he is such a one -dimensional hatred sink that every relationship with a real person is at best suspicious.

An extremely notable event that the film is largely considered by Chris Kyle's death. At the end of the film, Kyle left the army behind and, after some difficult times, is well on her way to revealing the pleasures of civilian life. Then, he Tells tells his wife that he is coming to meet a colleague veteran in the shooting range - and the film openly informed us that the veteran killed the same day before he was cut to Kyle's archive footage and his funeral.

This is what happened in real life, although the film leaves a significant part of the sad story. Like the fictional version, the real Kyle also devoted a lot of energy to help other veterans, often using shooting - an activity that everyone was familiar with - as a means to transfer them to them. In this capacity, Kyle and colleagues veteran Littlfield have agreed to meet former Seafood Ray Ray in the "Coarse Creek Lodge and Resort" range in Texas on February 2, 2013. Ruth, who had a history of mental health problems and was influenced at the time, shot both men.

Interestingly, the "American Sniper" is not ashamed of the changes he made in the original story. On the contrary, screenwriter Jason Hall is fully open to changing events from those shown in the book and explained his reasons to do so. In an interview for 2015 with Dailyujork daily newsHe explained that while Kyle's death was in several versions of the script, he eventually did not attract more attention because his family specifically asked for tactics - and Hall ended up agreeing:

"I didn't want to be something hanging over their heads (his children) for the rest of their lives as a film that showed their father to shoot."

This was not the only way Kyle's untimely death influenced the film. In fact, said Hall Military.com In 2014 that over half of her scenario went through a significant overhaul after Kyle was killed and Kyle got involved in the creative process, providing insights that allowed Hall to portray Kyle as a less distant character than in the book:

"(The script) changed about 60 percent. It included the family much more and I was able to get the votes properly and I was able to understand who was Chris before the war and how this man with this big heart and this unwilling tenderness was able to get this girl out of the dark and she loved her.

Apart from all the changes made by the film, the book on which is based is not a record as the most reliable letter there. Kyle's memory has been the subject of some controversy over the years. One of her stories has Kyle knocking out the famous person-for later confirming that she is a pro-wavy-Governor-Governor Essi Ventura-and ended up causing legal problems as Ventura sued Kyle in the case that was eventually housed for an undisclosed amount in 2017.

Another problem arose in 2016, when The intercepting Announced an investigation into Kyle's military record. In the book, Kyle says he was decorated with two silver stars and five bronze stars, but "interceptor" information suggests that these figures were decorated, and his real record was a silver Starvist and three bronze stars. This aspect of Kyle's story ended as complicated. Its shape of the Navy separation in 2009 actually mentioned two silver stars and six Bronze ... But after the review in 2016, the Navy revised the counting of a silver star and four bronze stars for Valor.

All in all, there is little denial that Chris Kyle is a complex person and a talented sniper, and the film Bradley Cooper's performance is particularly particularly done in portraying the type of military life, the famous Navy stamp described in his autobiography. However, if you prefer historically accurate military plays, let alone those who are at least critical of their subject, it is good to remember that the "American sniper" paints his image with pretty wide strokes and puts his subject on a pedestal.
