"hey, jimmy, can i come in again?" [ laughter ] >> jimmy: no, we love him. man, we invite him all the time, but yeah, we always get giggling because he comes on, we have these serious movies. we like to joke around. >> yeah. >> jimmy: cause you know, "hangover" we joked around when you have that. but then we were just serious when we got to be serious and i start the giggles. and we started laughing, man, he just -- it's just an intense film, and this guy, the snipers out there, this character played chris, shot it was between 140 and 150 -- >> i think 160 confirmed kills or something. it's an insane amount and you know, it's a really, it's something that he really struggled with, i think he would be happier with the number of lives he saved, versus people talking about the amount he killed but he was a a really prolific sniper and you know, struggled of being a a

i think bradley cooper just summed it up beautifully. if you look at it early films about iraq and afghanistan like "rendition" and even "the hurricane lockhurt locker" did not do very well at the box office. i think a lot of that is they were in some ways more polemical and films like "american sniper" and "lone survivor" are more personal. i think that allows them to have a much more universal appeal. warner brothers saying this is a film that is playing like gangbusters in blue states and red states. it's playing well in all 50 states. that's the kind of success you saw last weekend. >> the film which is a really powerful movie also it stayed above the political fray in a lot of ways. it didn't take a position. it wasn't about whether or not we should have been there. chris kyle was there and he was doing what he feels he was sent to do. but the movie has had its own fair share of controversy. over the weekend, actor seth rogen compared "american sniper" to the fictitious nazi propaganda movie. seth rogen has been criticized for his s

who by the way, this movie is absolutely worth seeing just for bradley cooper's performance. it is absolutely brilliant work for him. he deserves all of the praise he's getting for that. it is a good movie. that's the view of it. it's a good movie with for me flaws, that if i were writing that movie, there were different directions i would have taken at certain points in the script. not necessarily big ones. i mean things like three or four more lines in some of the arguments that occur in the movie. in every argument that occurs in the movie, basically it's an argument with the protagonist where he is pro war and he wins every one of those arguments. no one has a comeback to him saying, if we don't fight these savages here in iraq they will be -- we will have to fight them in san diego in new york. now, that is an utterly preposterous statement to make but i get it and get why a soldier would make it and think it. it's the film maker's decision to end that dialogue on that line with him winning that argument and that is both a dramatic choice and inhe have itably -- the coll

join\ing me is kyle's widow and bradley cooper who stars as kyle. nice to have a fellow philly boy on the set. it is a remarkable film. you just came from walter reed talking to wounded warriors. what was that like? >> it's always inspiring. these guys not only sign up to serve but get hit with something that would flow most people off track completely. they have such strength of character and spirit. i find it painful but inspiring. their attitude is so good. >> i know veterans have concerned about seeing a movie like this that's so accurate i imagine replicates battle. how did they receive it? i know they're watching it now. >> exactly. we just met all of them before we went to see them. even if it is initially shocking hopefully after a while it heals because in any sort of dlat matic situation if you don't feel alone ultimately it's healing. that's the thing that clint and i talked about and the other producers making a movie that is authentic and people who are going through this don't feel alone. but potentially those who don't know, 1% of our

and other issues as well. >> and bradley cooper spoke to cnn, and this is what he said. >> i don't see this as a movie that promotes conservative values at all. it is not anything that clint and i spoke about. and all we wanted to make was a character study. if someone wants to take it to use it for their own political aded a jen da, it is up to them, because it is not a movie about the iraqi war. >> some people say it is propaganda and some say it lwill hurt the trials and the potential jurors for people who are -- >> well, it is unleashing a a lot of political arguments. >> for the man who shot chris kyle kyle. >> yes, it is a character study and the perspective of chris kyle and his story and book and seen through his eyes and his version of the war. it is his version and not my version of the war and other people's version of the war, and that is the takeaway for us, and that is why so many veterans are behind it. so many civilians are saying i think that i can start to understand now. and that is important in a country where less than 1% of the population is served. >> thank you s

awesome performance from bradley cooper, one of the best of the year. but he goes on to say i think most americans don't think snipers are heroes. but those who believe kyle was a hero quickly fired back. >> to show his role as a husband, father war fighter and as a killer but one who is doing so in the line of duty create questions and create dialogue that we haven't seen before. >> reporter: true life dramas face extra scrutiny. zero dark 30 faced questions about the accuracy. >> when we make and still make world war ii movies it is easier. it is clear. hitler was the enemy. >> "the interview" star seth rogen tweeted "american sniper" kind of reminded me of the movie showing in the third act of inglorious bastards. he tweeted i just said something kind of reminded me of something else. i actually liked "american sniper." it just reminded me of the scene. supporters and detractors take aim the film has targets in its sights, box office and oscar goals. >> we all agree on one thing. it is a great performance by bradley. >> i loved the movie and at the e

look like the bradley cooper we know. he gives a terrific performance. so speaking as a movie critic alone, it's an excellent job and that's what got audiences. but it's a question of timing and it happened after this horrific event. all those things came together to make it a box office sensation. >> what do you think much how he was portrayed? >> look any time hollywood takes on something of this nature i always sort of cringe because i don't know what the outcome is going to be. so i went and saw this movie last thursday with a couple of vets. we all came out of there just quiet. we really didn't say a word. once we got to the parking lot, we were all lightningke yeah they did it right, thank god they did it right. and i was really glad to see that. if i could thank clint eastwood and bradley cooper for taking something that's an incredible responsibility and doing it right. you know this was a great individual. this was a hero. and they took that responsibility seriously and i'm very proud of the movie they made. >> w

bradley cooper talks about this and bradley cooper by no means is a conservative. he supported the president during the last election but he said this is more about the lives of these soldiers and particularly what happens when they come back home and all the mental issues they may have to deal with and that we need to take care of folks that are over there on the front lines. sniper versus sniper. they're not cowards. they could get killed in a heart beat as well and i'm glad that bradley cooper did this movie. >> a veteran has a book coming out talking about this very topic with michael moore. watch. >> i don't think he deserves the breath that i'm about to give but i'll just say michael moore, he wasn't there in afghanistan. a lot of good guys and a lot of my friends died for his right to, i guess, freedom of speech so i'm not really worried about what he has to say. >> this is about jealousy and envy from michael moore. and from others in hollywood as well who can't get their head around the fact that this movie will make over $100 million this weekend and coul

the movie speaks for itself. >> i will point out that bradley cooper did say he tried to separate out the politics of the movie from the performances in the movie. i think that he has not been successful at that i think that one of the things that's interesting about the movie is i think the debate following it has been a lot more nuanced and interesting than the movie itself which i think frankly is not a very well made movie. and it is difficult because as soon as you say something like that you are seen as you are taking a political stance. there has been a lot of wrapping what the movie is as a movie with the politics that surround it which i think do disservice to the movie itself. >> politics aside snipers are there to protect our rights, even the rights of the big mouths in hollywood and the big other things, too. flap their chops and be losers as i like to say. they have that first amendment right thanks to the snipers. >> um-huh. >> all right. thanks panel. be sure to watch hannity tonight at 10:00 eastern. sean hosts a special hour on american sniper patriotism under attack.
