So I wonder why would you expect similarities between so unalike events. The Cold War was not exactly a war with pro- or anti-war.<br /><br />If you want the smart-ass answer, because it's not the 'Praises for the Author Section'. Anyway, I have left a comment on 'Maleficent' (maybe a month ago) where I have noted that the structure has changed, evolved, and also the differences in rating system. Now your reviews are better than before which is not a reason to stop developing.Филипnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667410643073985006.post-49553775644391976542016-01-06T09:06:27.095+01:002016-01-06T09:06:27.095+01:00Thank you, Birgit.

I said that, in part, I was expecting this film to be like the one that divided the audience. Only about being impartial, and not being sure if pro-war or anti-war.<br /><br />Yes, impartial is a good thing in an historical film, but American Sniper, to me, was more a film about a soldier, and the consequences of war on the soldier's mind, a man that has to kill also women and children. Was it wrong to portray Chris Kyle like some sort of saint? Yes. Was it wrong to portray Chris Kyle as good because American, and Mustafa as bad because non American? Yes.<br /><br />As for the scoring, I'm sorry if it annoys you, I'm working on that - and the some people-based are the guys from The Usual Suspects for your information. Also, since you have taken the trouble to go read my old reviews, you've probably seen that they were shorter and more superficial back then. Why don't point out that too?Sonia Cercahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07313734872038610058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-667410643073985006.post-89071444515685679602016-01-06T03:18:58.736+01:002016-01-06T03:18:58.736+01:00I enjoy reading your review.

An ideological conflict and end of the world fears with real wars with real battles.<br /><br />Then you say 'impartial' which I, personally, find as a good thing, which should be given more points, moreover when a biased films receive 9/10. But also I would like to know more why you find it so impartial.<br /><br />For me it was one of the top films I saw in 2015. But then I watched with almost no expectations.<br /><br />And a commentary on the blog. The scoring is rather baffling if someone tries to search older entries. In different eras of this blog one may find different rating systems... 5 stars, 10-based, there were some people-based... and so on... I find it annoying. I would stick with one type and don't change it that often. Maybe that people-based was more personal to the blog, more... unique (or at least I don't recall seeing it elsewhere).Филипnoreply@blogger.com
