Clint Eastwood on American Sniper’s’ Biggest Antiwar Statement
Clint Eastwood on ‘American Sniper’s’ “Biggest Antiwar Statement” – “The biggest antiwar statement any film” can makes is to show “the fact of what war does to the family,” Clint Eastwood said at Saturday’s Producers Guild Award Nominees Breakfast, which took place at The Saban Theater in Beverly Hills.
The Warner Brothers film has become a flash point for heated debate since its wide release on Jan. 16, reeling in praise and sharp criticism for its portrayal of the Iraq War and the decorated veteran Chris Kyle.
The breakfast, hosted by The Hollywood Reporter, brought together producers from all 10 of the films nominated for The Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, which will be awarded later this evening at the 26th annual Producers Guild Awards at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel.
