  • 9 years ago
The new film "American Sniper" has been slammed by critics as pro-war propaganda and scored six Oscar nominations but as far as some hateful Twitter users go, the movie is right on target. One user wrote: The reason Selma wasn't nominated and American Sniper received 6 is MLK didn't kill enough Arabs. Another Twitter user wrote: American sniper made me appreciate soilders 100x more and hate Muslims 1000000x more” thanks mate." "American Sniper" was the No. 1 film at the box office this weekend, but some say it went too far with its patriotic message. Actor Seth Rogen compared the movie to Nazi propaganda, tweeting that the film "kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglourious Basterds." Some people tried to be the voice of reason, with one user tweeting: "American Sniper shouldn't make you want to kill arabs, it supposed to depict the tolls and hardships and ugly things war does to people."
