American Sniper "Fake Baby"

I haven't seen the movie but for those who have, did you get this impression?

There's supposedly some sort of uproar or LOL about the fake baby used in the film.

It looked like a fake baby. It doesn't really matter, imo, if it was a real baby or a fake baby. It doesn't add or take away anything from that movie.

Obviously fake? Laughed out loud?

A number of my friends saw the film and never commented on the baby.

The pettiness is amazing when people despise someone.

smh

Well said Smaug. I think these critics are looking for anything to take apart the movie.

I don't know what you're referring to with your comments about despising someone? I was talking specifically about the baby.

I am very conservative politically. I'm not bashing THE MAN. I saw a show the other day about reborn dolls, and that's why I posted the article......because they are supposed to be so lifelike.

Posting here is rather complicated............

Yes this is probably something people took from the movie to make fun of.

I didn't think about that, I shouldn't have posted it but I was coming at it from the doll angle........................I didn't think about that........it's probably true........I just wanted to know if it was really that obvious that it was a fake baby...

Nobody mentioned the obviously fake baby on the other thread. I don't think people who want to see the movie or who have seen the movie care.

I didn't read the other thread..I haven't seen the movie. I would trust Hollyweird to make a movie on him with any sort of truth to it...although with Clint Eastwood directing, it stands a chance.

Some of the online comments on the fake baby are pretty funny.

I hate the use of real babies in movies. They almost always look tortured!

I saw the movie yesterday. I hail Chris Kyle as a hero .....and I loved the movie. So far, it is my pick for Best Picture (still have to see more of the nominees to make my final choice). Having said that, I did notice the obviously fake baby--my husband and I both shook our heads at how obvious it was). It did take me "out" of the movie for those few minutes. The movie is so powerful, though, that I quickly forgot about it and became engrossed again.

Thanks, CardinalGirl. That's what I wanted to know.

You made me google it, and I found a clip of the scene with the fake baby. I didn't see the rest of the movie, but in that brief scene, I have to say, wow, that baby really does not look real. It just hangs there, lifeless, against his shoulder. I can see why people are talking about it.

So, the whole hoo rah is about a prop? When will people get a real life. They want perfection yet they themselves are soooooo far from it.

This movie has hit a nerve...they must pick...pick...pick at any small detail to tear it down.

To be perfectly honest, I never suspected a "fake" baby until the end of the movie. Awesome movie showing how brave our military really is. A must see movie for everyone.
