Clint Eastwood Says 'American Sniper' Is Anti-War

Eastwood spoke to students at the Loyola Marymount University School of Film & TV, where he took part in the ongoing Hollywood Masters interview series. Other guests this season have included Sean Penn, Kenneth Branagh, Gale Anne Hurd and Ethan Hawke.

He also discussed his more recent military foray, the Oscar-nominated American Sniper, which became the highest-grossing release of 2014 the day he was interviewed.

Asked if the picture glorified war, he replied: “I think it’s nice for veterans, because it shows what they go through, and that life — and the wives and families of veterans. It has a great indication of the stresses they are under. And I think that all adds up to kind of an anti-war [message].”

1. "Kind of...anti-war?? What does that even mean? The movie IS war porn, and Clint is just talking to an empty chair again.

3. Not having seen the movie, I'm not entitled to an opinion, but

some of my wacko liberal and progressive friends have taken exactly this position with regard to the movie, while others saw it as justifying the war and de-humanizing the Iraqis.

Since I have no interest in exacerbating my PTSD in order to get a higher VA disability rating, I have no intention of seeing the movie to resolve this issue.

7. He should have said that during the Oscar campaign. But he didn't cause then

all the gung ho's who drove the 300 million dollar box office would not have gone.

8. I went expecting not to like it

but it was a lot better and anti-war than I thought it was going to be.

10. Celebrating the courage, skill and professionalism of the soldier and being anti-war

are not a contradiction in terms.
