Michael Moore thinks Bradley Cooper’s performance in ‘American Sniper’ was "awesome".
The 60-year-old director – who was recently accused of disliking the movie after stating his opinion on snipers in general – also praised the film’s editing and costumes.
Writing in a post on his official Facebook page, he said: "Awesome performance from Bradley Cooper. One of the best of the year.
"Great editing. Costumes, hair, makeup superb!"
However, Michael wasn’t too pleased with the film’s inaccuracies.
He added: "Oh… and too bad Clint [Eastwood; the director] gets Vietnam and Iraq confused in his storytelling. And that he has his characters calling Iraqis "savages" throughout the film.
"But there is also anti-war sentiment expressed in the movie. And there’s a touching ending as the main character is remembered after being gunned down by a fellow American vet with PTSD who was given a gun at a gun range back home in Texas – and then used it to kill the man who called himself the ‘America Sniper’ (sic)"
Meanwhile, Michael recently shared the story of his uncle, who was killed by a sniper in World War II.
He tweeted previously: "My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren’t heroes. And invaders r worse
"But if you’re on the roof of your home defending it from invaders who’ve come 7K miles, you are not a sniper, u are brave, u are a neighbor. (sic)"
