Storyline
Chris Kyle was nothing more than a Texan man who wanted to become a
cowboy, but in his thirties he found out that maybe his life needed
something different, something where he could express his real talent,
something that could help America in its fight against terrorism. So he
joined the SEALs in order to become a sniper. After marrying, Kyle and
the other members of the team are called for their first tour of Iraq.
Kyle's struggle isn't with his missions, but about his relationship with
the reality of the war and, once returned at home, how he manages to
handle it with his urban life, his wife and kids.

When
it comes to true story films, there are times where film-makers try to
add more or less into what really happened in the event being told. In
this case, Clint Eastwood's American Sniper has already contracted not
only positive acclaim but a stir of negativity and controversy that
surrounds the way Kyle was really like in life. Some say he had lost his
mind in the war for peace while others say he was caught up in the
emotional aftermath after service but Eastwood has stated that his film
is "the biggest anti-war statement any film can make," and said that
"the fact of what war does to the family and the people who have to go
back into civilian life like Chris Kyle did"
What AS tells is the
true life figure Chris Kyle who served as the American military's
'lethal sniper' who has made more kills in his duty of tours during the
Iraq war period after 9/11. It chronicles how Chris became a true
American to protect his homeland and the aftermath of serving his tours
when he came home to his small growing family, leading up to the final
hours of his life.
Pros:
+ Bradley Cooper's portrayal of
Chris Kyle is indeed a new height for his career, he gives a performance
that can be described as gripping, tense and at times
+ The action sequences are all done well, but at times it can be tense, violent and confronting for some.
+
The emotional connection between the main character and his family,
that the final scene that will either break you or make you undecided.
Cons:
The controversy that surrounds it, it can make the film an
exaggerated
lie or truth to what Kyle was like in reality but again it is showing
what war can do on people on the front-line and home.
OVERALL:
Despite the controversy it has gained by writers , the film is indeed a
strong acting showcase for Cooper while leaving audiences both open and
more aware of the effects of war on human kind. Go in with an open mind
and see for yourself for what you would think that made Chris Kyle a
'lethal sniper' for this country. If you had liked The Hurt Locker, Zero
Dark Thirty and Machine Gun Preacher (not a war film but somewhat
similar to Kyle's story) you will enjoy this.

Storyline
A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life
growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading
army threatens the harmony of the land. Maleficent rises to be the
land's fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless

revenge, Maleficent faces a battle with the invading king's successor
and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the
child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in
the kingdom - and perhaps to Maleficent's true happiness as well.

First
of all, the story surprised me a bit: Maleficent's chick bones. The
fact she's not a witch, she's a fairy. The villain & hero twist. The
prince's kiss didn't work, but a mother's true love kiss bring Aurora's
back from her death sleep. After Aurora's waking up and Maleficent got
her wings back, the war still going. Why? The king went mad¡¡¡¡ The
prince role was very insignificant in this new version, but I like it
anyway. Also the king's character was small,a girl grown up away from
her parents 16 years and she didn't troubled at all when her father
died. Aurora smiles all the time, she's a happy girl and never fall into
sadness because a fairy cast spell on her. But SHE SMILES A LOT, I
WANTED HER TO SLEEP FOREVER¡¡¡¡ For many people this film was
disappointing, NOT FOR ME. I enjoyed very much. The visual effects was
stunning, the music,and the credit'song "Once Upon A Dream" by Lana Del
Rey sounded creepy. So much talk about this movie. I challenged myself
to watch it. I really liked. Angelina Jolie re-defined herself as super
star status. A Villain Diva of this times imitated by many fairies.
