I’m a sucker for a good movie quote.
Whether it’s classic or contemporary, nothing can encapsulate the essence of things more neatly than a dose of quick wit or sage philosophy on the silver screen. From “Go ahead, make my day” to “Get busy living, or get busy dying” Hollywood has its moments, those times when a talented screenwriter hits the sweet spot.
One such moment came in the early going of Clint Eastwood’s award-winning film American Sniper during an interaction between an eight-year old version of protagonist Chris Kyle and his father, Wayne.
