Seth Rogen and Clint Eastwood have found themselves strangely interlinked in a conversation about national, and perhaps nationalistic, cinema right now. That overlap is due to their respective films, The Interview and American Sniper, both of which have become rallying cries for American freedom — despite being at the polar end of the other in terms of style, substance and intent. The Interview accomplished this by none of its own accord — Seth’s film with James Franco gained massive momentum when it appeared it would be pulled from release after a possible link to North Korea in the Sony hack. American Sniper, on other hand, appeals to this kind of patriotic audience by design. After all, the film’s hero is sculpted from a storied memoir by one of the Iraq War’s most lethal marksman: Chris Kyle. Rogen’s lead characters wander into their act of heroism just as haplessly as its filmmakers did. But Seth put an end to conjecturing that the two films were aiming for similar territory on Sunday when he negatively compared American Sniper to a scene in Quentin Tarantino’s 2009 Nazi flick Inglourious Basterds.
