Activity:

  1. Define complex characters. Then, list the qualities that make Chris Kyle "complex." 
  2. Are these characteristics represented well in the movie? Or, does he seem "flatter" or "less complex" in the movie?
  3. Why do you think the movie chose to open with Kyle behind the lens of his sniper rifle rather than his childhood?
