Plot
In April 1945, the Allies made their final push to Nazi Germany. Don "Wardaddy" Collier, a hard-working US Army sergeant in the Second Armored Division, ordered the M4 Sherman "Easy Eight" nicknamed Fury and his veteran crew: Boyd shooter "Bible" Swan, loader Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis, Trini driver "Gordo" Garcia, and assistant driver-bow gunner "Red". They have been together since the North African campaign. Red was killed in action and replaced by Pvt. Norman Ellison, a new member trained only as a scribe clerk.
As they moved further into Germany, Norman's experience became dangerous: he found but failed to shoot the children of the Hitler Youth troop who ambushed the commanding officer's tank with Panzerfaust, killing the entire crew; later, he hesitated under fire during a battle with an anti-tank weapon. Don is angry at his disability; after the battle, he ordered Norman to execute captured German soldiers for wearing a US Army coat. When Norman refused, Don searched the gun into his hand and forced him to pull the trigger, kill the prisoner and make Norman traumatized.
Don leads tanks to capture a small town in Germany. While looking for an apartment, Don and Norman found a German woman, Irma, and her younger cousin, Emma. Don pay them cigarettes for hot food and hot water for shaving. Norman and Emma then went into the bedroom, tied up, and had sex. As the four men sat eating, the other crew members drank, harassed the women and oppressed Norman, but Don kept them queued. They were then called away for an urgent mission, but when the men were getting ready to leave, the German artillery targeted the city; Emma was killed in a bombardment, making Norman's trauma even further.
The tank platoon is ordered to capture and hold a vital intersection to protect the rear echelon of the division. On the way, they are ambushed by a Tiger tank, which wipes out the entire platoon except Fury. The Fury eventually destroys the Tiger by maneuvering and firing into a thinner rear armor. With their damaged radio, Fury is forced to continue alone. Upon arrival at the crossroads, the tank is mobilized by landmines. Don sent Norman to find a hill nearby; there, Norman saw the Waffen-SS battalion approaching his position. The crew wanted to escape, but the Don decided to stay, forcing the others to stay and fight.
People disguise Fury to make him appear out of the way, and then hide inside. While they waited, Norman was finally accepted by the crew and given his nickname: "Machine." They then ambushed the Germans who arrived, inflicting heavy casualties on a long and fierce battle. Grady was killed by Panzerfaust who pierced the turret, Gordo was shot while releasing a grenade and sacrificing himself by covering it up, snipers killed the Bible and wounded Don. Running out of ammunition and surrounded, Don instructed Norman to escape through an emergency exit on the floor as Germany dropped a grenade into the tank. Norman slipped out just before they exploded, killing Don. Norman tried to hide when the Germans moved but were seen by a young SS soldier, who hesitated, then left without informing his colleagues.
The next morning, Norman crawled back into the tank, where he covered Don's body with his jacket. He was later rescued by American soldiers, who praised him as a hero. When Norman was taken away by ambulance, he looked back at the hundreds of Germans lying around the ruined Fury.

Pitt stated, "It was formed to destroy us, to keep us cold, to make us tired, make us miserable, make us wet, make us eat cold food, and if our goods are not together we have to pay them with physical sacrifice. We get up at five in the morning, we do curfew every hour. "
Ayer also encourages the players to physically argue with each other, which causes many black eyes and bloody noses. They insult each other with personal attacks as well. On top of that, the actors are forced to live in the tank together for a long time where they eat, sleep, and defecate.

History description
Fury is a fictional film about tank crew during the last days of the war in Europe. Ayer is influenced by veteran service in his family and by reading books such as Belton Y. Cooper Death Traps , about American armored warfare in World War II. Ayer tried hard to find authentic uniforms and weapons that fit the period of the last months of the war in Europe.
The film was taken in the UK, largely due to the availability of World War II tanks. The film features Tiger 131, the last surviving operational Tiger I; owned by The Tank Museum in Bovington, England. This is the first time since the movie They Were Not Divided (1950) that the real Tiger tank, not the prop version, has been used on the movie set. Tiger 131 is a very early Tiger I tank model; externally it has some significant differences from later Tiger I models, most notably the outer row of the road wheels (from trios per shaft, used in Schachtellaufwerk overlapping characteristic settings and interleaved from Tiger I) are also rubber-framed, as well as dome-shaped trash cans. In the final weeks of the war, a number of early models of the Tiger were used in the last defense effort; one of Germany's last missing tigers at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin is the same model.
Ten M4 Sherman tanks used. Tank Sherman Fury is played by Sherman M4A2 tank named RON/HARRY (T224875), also lent by The Tank Museum.
Ayer's attention to detail was also extended to the map used in the film. The 1943 map in Hannover, Germany, held at the University of McMaster's Lloyd Reeds Collection Map, was used to demonstrate the kind of resources that Allied forces rely on.
While the movie plot is fictitious, the depiction of the Fury tank and its commander Wardaddy is parallel to the experience of some real Allied tankers, such as the American tank commander, Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. "War Daddy" Swimming pool, which landed just after D-Day and destroyed 258 enemy vehicles before his tanks were eliminated in Germany at the end of 1944, and a small number of Sherman tanks survived the landing on the H-Day until the end of the war, such as Bomb Bombs, a Sherman tank that landed on D-Day and survived a fierce battle in Germany at the end of the war, Canada's only surviving Sherman tank from D-Day battle to VE Day. The plot also has some similarities to the Crailsheim battle, fought in Germany in 1945. The last booth of the Fury defect crew appears to be based on an anecdote from Death Traps, where one tanker was "inside his tank at a crossroads" when "the infantry unit of Germany approached, apparently did not find the tanks in the dark." The unnamed tanker was described to squeeze bullets into enemy troops, fired all of its machine-gun ammunition, and threw a grenade to kill the German soldiers who climbed into the tank. Cooper concludes: "When our infantry arrived the next day, they found a brave young tanker still alive inside his tank, the whole area around him full of dead Germans and wounded." This battle has a resemblance to the Medal of Honor Audie Murphy recipient on the destroyer M10 burning tank outside Holtzwihr in Alsace-Lorraine, on January 26, 1945. The battle in this film also has similarities with the film Sahara (1943), starring Humphrey Bogart, where M3 Lee's crew named "Lulu Belle" and a stranded British troop contingent maintain a remote well in Libya against the larger German Armies of the African army, to the death of most allies.

TyBrR's "Globe Slobber" ' gives 2.5 of 4 stars and talks about the character of Pitt, Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier, commenting on Wardaddy's portrayal of "war-wars wound from a tank crewman who drove Germany to Berlin, Brad Pitt created a short, sometimes noble, more often brutal fighter. "Another critic, Burr, explains that Ayer is depicted in Wardaddy's character" a terrible and terrific figure. "In one scene, he shot an enemy officer who was caught behind.Some scenes later, he protected two German women from being attacked by his own men. "Burr further stated that," Fury gives us a terrifying glimpse: tread tanks rolled over the body doused into the mud, an old woman cutting the flesh from a dead horse, a woman in a wedding dress among the crowds of refugees Fury wanted to take us to the fresh scales of 'good wars' while simultaneously celebrating old bromides and cliches. No wonder they shot themselves inside the tanks. "
Newsday ' s Rafer Guzman admired director Ayer, who "did a good job putting us in the Fury tanks"; with "all extra blood and brutality, it's still a macho and romantic war movie," and he chose Pitt, which he said "honorably served in John Wayne's role".
Pete Hammond praised the performance of Lerman who said, "This is a great performance, so worthy of an Oscar in Logan Lerman." The scene between Brad Pitt and Logan Lerman tries to teach him the journey of war and how to be extraordinary human. "It never scales at cinematic heights or reaches the same breakthrough level as Saving Private Ryan , but it is very fierce and endlessly rough on the senses. You will know that you have been fighting, and not on the front of Hollywood.
Film critic Christopher Orr from The Atlantic magazine said that the movie "too technically perfected to be a really bad movie, but too narrative and thematically hampered to be good." In a sense, it works well in imagine his own subject: heavy, mechanical, claustrophobic, and incessant. " The Philadelphia Inquirer ' Steven Rea gave the film 3 of 4 stars and praised," Fury presents a very violent and nonviolent war portrayal, which may be like a Bayonet in the eye, a bullet in the back, crushed limbs, human corpses and horses widening in a muddy, burning terrain.. Ayer brings you the same- there was - there was an intensity to his 2012 cop drama on-patrol, End of Watch (also with PeÃÆ' Â ± a). "But on the opposite side of Rea's admiration, he thought," It would not be right to call Fury entertaining, and in a narrow focus (as narrow views of the periscope tank), the film does not offer a broader view of the horrors of war - other than to put the horror right in front of us, in the usual view. "Chris Vognar wrote a review for The Dallas Morning News giving the film" B "grade, where he wrote about" War "which he thought was," hell, "and also" endlessly, responsibility, not sentimental and violent to mind, body and soul. Fury conveys this truth with violence and slim and precise drama. "Kenneth Turan for the Los Angeles Times praised the film very highly, writing:" The best job I've ever got "sentence" is one of those slogans that people use on this killer machine with each other, and its awful. the problem is they half believe it is true. "
Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter just says, " Fury is a good and solid World War II movie, nothing more and nothing less. Rude, macho, violent and with a story quite unusual to achieve and retain interest, this is a modern version of a Hollywood film type that is practically almost weekly in the 1940s and 1950s. "Peter Debruge wrote for Variety Magazine where he praised Pitt , "Brad Pitt played a watery version of his 'Inglourious Basterds' character in this very bland look on the crew of World War II tanks." The Wrap ' s James Rocchi gives 4 out of 5 ratings and expresses warm approval of the film that is "persistent, not sentimental and never taken into account," Fury ' s rumble, metal-coated exterior has real humanity, fragile and fear, captured and locked away in it. "Randy Myers of San Jose Mercury News rated the film 3 of 4 and talked about LaBeouf" who is most impressive, inhabits a soldier's soul quoting scriptures who seek guidance from the Word in hopes of staying on the moral path. While much has been made about the extreme lengths he prefers to prepare for the role, the fact remains that it is one of his best performances. "Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle delivers 4-out of-4 ratings and writes fully in favor of the movie:" A great movie lets you know you're in safe hands from the start. "James Berardinelli also gave positive review films say: "This is an impressive movie, accurately portraying the horrors of war without revealing the depravity of humans (such as the platoon). Similarly, it shows examples of humanity without the use of a cleaned-up perspective which infiltrated many war films of the 1950s and 1960s. It's as good as a World War II movie I've seen in recent years, and contains perhaps the most exhausting war sequence since Sested Private Ryan .
New York Times criticism AO Scott praises Pitt's movie and character, "In this visible and full-seated carapace this is an ancient, sensitive and remarkable story of the platoon. from the bonds of men under duress. "Rex Reed from The New York Observer said," The actors are all okay, Mr. Rex Reed from The New York Observer . Pitt moved closer to the iconic star, and Mr. The young Lerman steals the image as a camera lens through his eyes and blood vessels. we share every inhumane experience. Purists may argue, but if you are a historian or a person too weak to see a man who was engulfed in a fire that shot his own head before he died on fire, you will go away from Fury satisfied. "The Bill of the Republic Republicic critic Bill Goodykoontz said," In terms of story, structure, and appearance (with the exception of viscous blood), this film can be made anywhere. time in the last 70 years. "For the Goodykoontz review, Claudia Puig from USA Today gave the answer," Given how many World War II movies have appeared in the last 70 years, this requires a really fresh angle to make people look different. "Puig also said," The flesh-and-blood soldiers play a second violin for artillery that looks authentic in Fury, making the film tough and terrifying, but less emotionally appealing than it should be. "< Ignatiy Vishnevetsky gave the film the value of "C" and said, "It's all very Peckinpah - or at least it could be, if Ayer has a sense of poetry." The Chicago Tribune ' s Michael Phillips wrote a negative review, saying "At the weakest, Fury contributes a frustrating percentage of lead to go with iron and steel. "
Rene Rodriguez from Miami Herald gave the film 2 out of 4 stars saying, "War is hell, that's entertainment, friends." Amy Nicholson of LA Weekly said, "This is a bad part of a bad war, and Ayer wallows in it." Instead of flags and patriotism, Fury is about dirt: the blood hollows, the stains on the faces of exhausted soldiers, the corpses being pushed by bulldozers, rotting corpses that melted into the mud. "Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave 3 of 4 stars and said," Written and directed with the right skills and a sick heart by David Ayer, Fury captures the feeling of a man buried in a fast piercing fight. "The New York Post ' s Kyle Smith says that he "can not help but suspect that there is pornography leer for it all, ferocious joy." Tom Long wrote for The Detroit News and gave a negative review of the movie, " Accolades
