Bradley Cooper, 'American Sniper' Widow Join Forces To Tell
Story | TODAY –
In
this interview where Bradley Cooper discusses playing the roll of Chris Kyle in
the movie American Sniper, I believe
that Cooper was attempting to relay his gratitude for Chris Kyle and all other
military members, rather than simply promote the movie to the public.
Throughout viewing the interview, audiences can tell how Bradley Cooper
actually feels about playing the role of the American hero, Chris Kyle. Cooper
speaks in a sincere and thankful manner throughout the entire interview,
relaying his true feelings and emotions of appreciation and gratefulness for
the military. Personally, I noticed Cooper “choking up” at certain times when
talking about Kyle, his life, and his story. Furthermore, Cooper’s true
emotions are visible to viewers, especially when the interviewer brings up how
military members gave him a standing ovation after watching the movie, as well
as hearing Taya Kyle, Chris’s widow wife, thank him for portraying her late
husband in such a genuine way. Cooper expresses how he should not be the one
receiving all of the attention and applause for his acting in the movie, but
rather the soldiers themselves being deserving of this support and courtesy for
protecting our rights as United States citizens and our country that we love so
much. Noticeable throughout the entire interview, Bradley Cooper truly speaks his
mind in a sincere fashion and relays how he honestly feels. This interview also
made me aware of the fact that actors, such as Bradley Cooper, do not always
accept roles only for personal gains, such as media attention, awards, and
money. Moreover, they take on certain roles to make viewers aware of situations
and incidents that extraordinary individuals experience in their own lives.
Also, actors and actresses that play similar roles to Cooper’s would rather
raise awareness for the need to support and care for these honorable humans
after they overcome such extreme conditions than be acclaimed themselves. The
interviewer asked relevant questions about the current situation at hand,
attempting to delve deeper into Cooper’s feelings and emotional side, as well
as help make others aware of the more sensitive side that all actors and
actresses have. He utilizes other people, such as Kyle’s wife and other
military members, to further the audience’s awareness of Cooper’s actual thoughts
and feelings, as well as to aid Bradley Cooper in expressing his thought process
behind taking on such an incredible role. Before viewing this interview, I
respected Cooper mainly for his acting abilities. Not knowing much about his
personal life, I only have been expose to Bradley Cooper through his movies and
performances. After watching the interview, my respect has only grown for
Cooper, mainly because of his ability to portray his true feelings about this
situation. Any viewer can tell that he feels strongly about this issue and
wants to help in any way possible, rather than simply promote his self-image. I
have noticed these qualities in other actors and actresses that take on similar
roles in their own motion pictures. I am inspired by their ability to set aside
the personal gains that come with the successfulness of their movie and focus
on the more important issue at hand. This gives me hope that Hollywood is not
as corrupt as the media makes it out to be and that there are actors and
actresses that care more about global, nationwide issues that simply the
paycheck itself. I believe the main idea of the interview is that make the
public aware of the fact that not all actors and actresses take on roles for
personal gains solely, but rather to relay a personal side of another’s
individuals life and raise awareness for the need to care and encourage them
after overcoming extremely hard situations and experiences. Furthermore, the
interview helps in relaying the key point that not all actors and actresses
require so much attention for themselves, but rather the more important points
of the movie that they act in.
