About this Event
In honor of those who have served, the Englewood Public Library will screen the award-winning film "American Sniper", based on the real-life story of Chris Kyle.
Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) was nothing more than a Texas man who dreamt of becoming 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 S.E.A.L.s in order to become a sniper. After marrying Taya (Sienna Miller), 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.
This Clint Eastwood-directed film also stars Kyle Gallner, Cole Konis, Ben Reed and Elise Robertson.
American Sniper was nomiated for 5 Academy Awards, including Best Film and Best Actor (Cooper). American Sniper won the Oscar for Best Film Editing (Alan Robert Murray and Bus Ausman).
