Like many South Armagh loyalists, the family moved north to the village of Markethill. Soon after his father's death, the IRA began targeting Frazer's older brother who was also a UDR member. An uncle of Frazer's who was a member of the UDR was also wounded in a gun attack. Over the next ten years four members of Frazer's family who were members or ex-members of the Royal Ulster Constabulary or British Army were killed by the IRA. Frazer believes an IRA member helped carry the his father's coffin at his funeral. Frazer has stated that his family was well respected in the area including by "old school IRA members" and received Mass cards from Catholic neighbours expressing their sorrow over his father's killing. The family home had previously been attacked with petrol bombs and gunfire due to Bertie's UDR membership.
His father, who was a part-time member of the British Army's Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) and a council worker, was killed by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) on 30 August 1975. Growing up, he was a fan of John Wayne and wrestling. Frazer described his early years as a “truly cross-community lifestyle”. He attended a local Catholic school and played Gaelic football.

#Willie frazer movie
Although the movie does have some issues some being characters being unnoticeable, less C.G.I. If you are a person who enjoys "Clint Eastwood's" latest movies then I recommend you watch "American Sniper" as it has good acting, great visuals and suspenseful music. One thing that is very noticeable is the "Blood Squibs", pretty much every person who gets shot has a blood squib.
As mentioned before "American Sniper" was filmed beautifully, the action sequences are thrilling because of director "Clint Eastwood". "Sienna Miller" is an okay actress but in this movie it doesn't fell as if she's putting in 100%. The music in this movie captures the sadness, thrill and suspense of scenes. "Bradley Cooper" has once again shown the audience how much of an incredible actor he is. The plot to the movie is good the characters aren't really shown as well as they should have. It makes a great scene and a great climax. The film's climax is both thrilling and suspenseful. The majority of the movie is "Chris" going on his military tours. This scene is dark, but should not have been the movie's first scene. The movie starts off with a dark opening of "Chris Kyle" about to shoot a child with a bomb. The movie just shows "Chris Kyle" as he goes on his tours as a sniper. He later meets a woman named "Taya" portrayed by "Sienna Miller" who he eventually marries and has children with. The plot to "American Sniper" is a man named "Chris Kyle" portrayed by "Bradley Cooper" is sent out as a sniper to fight in the Iraq war. "American Sniper" is a well-shot Drama/Action film of 2015.
