April, 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theatre, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, and with a rookie soldier thrust into their platoon, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.

Authentic but Bloody.
Fury (2014) Blu Ray, Region B, UK version. Authentic tank battle warfare; correct period clothing and maps. Director David Ayer graphically shows us just how horrific World War 2 was; with the US military particularly savage; no likeable characters, we found, apart from the press-ganged clerk-typist. Pros: cinematography; 2nd unit action choreography, tension; no on-screen sexual assaults; an act of mercy from just one soldier, who happens to be German; US war crimes depicted, music score by Steve Price. Negatives: excessive blood and gore; too much use of the second worst swear word; particularly nasty scene of a lone German soldier having a forced execution, for wearing an American long coat, and shot in the back; denied being taken as a prisoner of war, though begging, he showed photos of his wife and child - speaking in German, which the tank commander speaks fluently. No heroes, so recommended. If you prefer war films with authenticity; some historical accuracy, or based on a real event(s), or life experience of war, I recommend: "Apocalypse Now ReDux" (2000) which is the only version that has the scenes on the French owned plantation, in Vietnam- deleted from the original cut, and "The Final Cut". We hear that at the end of World War 2, President Roosevelt "wanted the French out of Indo-China", that the US supplanted what became the Vietnam Cong"; but incorrectly states the massacre of the French military at Dien Bien Fu was an accident, and involved bad weather. My understanding is that the US Government had an agreement to pay the French with munitions to fight the Vietnamese forces for them, but, later, then abandoned them to their fate in that notorious act of treachery. I do not know of, or believe, French forces, in vain, supported by parachuting to their deaths to die with their fellow Frenchmen! The Thin Red Line"(1998); Platoon (1986); "We Were Soldiers Once"; "Hacksaw Ridge". Also, 2 x documentaries: "The Savage Peace", how German civilians in previously captured territories, were subjected to the same treatment as used by the Nazis, as they were made to walk back to Germany, or imprisoned. "Ho Chi Minh and Uncle Sam", how the US Government refused to engage with the head of North Vietnam, thereby forcing him to request support, and logistical and military assistance, by China. (I have not recommended "Saving Private Ryan" as experts have put on record that it is 90% fantasy, 10% reality. Also, actor Richard Todd, when asked, angrily stated it was "rubbish" and "didn't happen like that!")

The evolution of Norman
War movie. Stand alone. Not a franchise film or a sequel to anything. Not based on any true story. They don't make many films like this anymore. In April 1945, the Nazi war machine was in it's death throes, reduced to forcing children to fight for them. The western allies would occasionally though encounter resistance. And it was very determined resistance when they did. Thus the US army in western europe took almost as many casualties that month as they did in June 1944. Not least because the Nazi's still had much better tanks. Fury takes place within that setting. Loosely based on the battle of Kassel, when the US army did encounter heavy resistance in the area, because it was where Tiger Tanks were made and their crews trained. Exhausted and being drained of manpower, they were in a war that was going to end soon. But not immediately. Brad Pitt plays a veteran Tank Commander nicknamed WarDaddy. Commander of a Sherman tank nicknamed Fury. When one of his crew dies, his replacement is a clerk/typist called Norman. A young man trained not to kill Nazis, but to type sixty words a minute. WarDaddy has no choice but to make sure Norman gets used to his new role. Particularly when the crew face terrible odds and a tricky choice... Those who want to nitpick the film for historical inaccuracies will find plenty of little details to keep them happy. Those who want to complain about Hollywood rewriting history won't, because it's not about that. It's about war being Hell, and soldiers just doing what they can to do their job, and to survive. And there were service veterans from all allied nations on set acting as advisors during shooting, so if they hadn't been happy about anything it portrayed, you can be sure they would have said something. The War is Hell part is like the opening Omaha Beach assault in 'Saving Private Ryan'. Unflinching in it's depiction of what weaponry can do and how fragile human life is in the face of that. Just like the opening to the Spielberg movie, you will find the combat scenes in here to be things you can't look away from. And things that you won't forget in a hurry. One scene involving a tank battle is absolutely one of the most gripping sequences in a film you'll see all year. It takes a very different tone in the middle with a long scene showing an encounter between the crewmembers and two German women in a liberated town. The scene does feel slightly misjudged at times, and perhaps a bit overlong. But it is historically accurate, as veterans do tell tales of how soldiers and civilians, after initial mistrust, did then get on. The cast are all very good. Brad Pitt carries the film effortlessly. Jon Bernthal [Shane from tv's 'the Walking Dead'] makes an impression. And Shia Lebouef does turn in a very mature performance. Some may wish to be aware that a fair bit of the dialogue is in German. With subtitles. These cannot be turned off. The film ends with a long set piece that does require some suspension of disbelief. It does end on a powerful final shot. Yet this sequence does highlight why this isn't quite a five star movie. It just, somehow, doesn't have the emotional connection really required to hit you and make it such. Which is why, as good as many of the character moments are, they just won't stick in the mind as long as the combat scenes will. Still, a film with a lot going for it. In what is a rather rare genre these days. So it's worth judging for yourself. The disc has the following language and subtitle options: Languages: English, French, Russian, Ukranian. Subtitles: English, Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, Greek, Hindi, Icelandic, Norwegian, Portugese, Russian, Swedish. The disc begins with four trailers and one very short advert. All of which can be skipped via the next button on the dvd remote. The trailers all appear again in the previews section of the extras anyhow. The dvd has just one extra: Band of Brothers. A ten minute long feature on the cast meeting war veterans then getting to film in a tank together and bonding as a result. It's on a par with most featurettes these days, in that it's very good viewing if a bit short.

Very Enjoyable
This essentially a story of a teenager who was sent off to war after just 8 weeks training and joined a very small band of soldiers and expected to act like a man, with considerable war experience, immediately. Of course he faced many struggles with his conscience and natural fears but eventually overcame them with the much needed guidance and support from his team leader who genuinely wants and indeed needs him to grow up quick and become a good soldier, albeit via a "cruel to be kind" manner, but it was a much needed lesson. Gradually you see him grow into his "man at war" boots who eventually earned the full respect of his 'Brothers at war'. The ending was sad but not unexpected. RECOMMENDED VIEWING.

Film de guerre avec Brad Pitt au top de sa forme. Je le conseille très largement. Une belle histoire mais cruelle sur fond de seconde guerre mondiale. Brad Pitt joue le rôle d'un leader très charismatique.

Este steelbook de Alemania, que además incluye un disco con documentales extra, posee audio en castellano (la película) y subtítulos en castellano (la película y los extras de los dos discos). Confirmado al 100%. Repito, la edición ALEMANA. Por otra parte, la calidad audiovisual es impresionante. Bien hecho por Sony.

Also zu Anfang muss ich etwas wütend einige Vorredner in Sachen Logik kritisieren : Also keiner von DENEN war " im Gefecht " und wie man eben " im Gefecht " reagiert ist KEINE LOGIK ! Wer die guten Kriegsfilme betrachtet wie Privat Ryan oder Schmale Grat , oder Windtalkers , Flags of our Fathers und dann das Grauen des Kriegs nicht versteht und kappiert sollte sich Gedanken machen . Ob der Tiger nun seinen Distanzvorteil beendet und angreift WEIL DER SHERMAN HAUSHOCH UNTERLEGEN IST UND WAR ( übrigens , der "FURY" hatte die längere Kanone , während die anderen zwei die kürzere Kanone hatten , "FURY" hatte zumindestens einen Hauch einer Chance weil die längere Kanone effektiver war ) , oder neben dem Frontalangriff beim Endkampf a u c h Angreifer von der Seite und hinten zu sehen waren , oder ein deutscher Soldat den Überlebenden am Leben lässt ist egal , macht aber Sinn . Wer kann sich erlauben während eines wirren Gefechts ums blanke Überleben nach Logik zu suchen , Leut denkts ein bisserl nach , wenns ums Überleben geht kämpft man mit den unglaublichsten Wunden weiter ..... . Dann find ich den Film garnicht " Überheroisch " oder zu Patriotisch oder hat einer eine US Flagge gesehen die sehr oft " patriotisch " gezeigt wird , da fällt mir JEDER Kriegsfilm aus den 50'iger bis 70'iger Jahren ein die mit tosendem Gebläse in den Kampf ziehen - Hipp Hipp Hurrraaa . Ich kann mir lange keine japanischen Kriegsfilme mehr ansehen , weil dieser unerbittliche Heldentum ( war zwar so ) weitaus übertriebener ist als ich in den letzten Jahren in anderen US Kriegsfilmen sah . "FURY" ist Klasse u n d realistisch und zeigt eine nervengeplagte Panzercrew ( Wieso die letzten Tagen des Krieges ??? ) ums blanke Überleben kämpfen und wer sich etwas in dieser Geschichte auskennt weis das der Deutsche Widerstand nach der Landung in der Normandie " abartig " war , das zeigt auch der Film sehr gut , Kinder unter Waffen . Es gibt bestimmt 1000ende solcher Geschichten wo Amerikaner sich " aufopferten " damit ein deutscher Angriff irgendwo anderst ein Massaker vereitelt wurde . Klar ist auch Hollywood dabei , aber ich finde das ist seit Private Ryan der realistischste Kriegsfilm den ich " je gesehen habe " . Stellenweise war die US Army "unterlegen" war seit der Landung in der Normandie ein enormes Nachschublogistikproblem zu lösen und man nicht einfach losstürmen "konnte" . Und was " das Kanonenfutter " angeht und der Sturm ins Maschinengewehrfeuer am Ende sollen sich mal "DIE" gefälligst an Private Ryan erinnern und die Landung , da gabs auch jede Menge Kanonfutter , aber es ist realistisch . Ein Befehl ist ein Befehl entbehrt jeder Logik , aber man tat es ob Sinn oder Unsinn . Das man im Gefecht " daneben schiesst aus 2 Meter Entfernung UNTER FEUER ist " logisch " und kann passieren und wenn die Munition ausgeht hätten die Panzerbesatzungen sicherlich noch 10 Meter vom Panzer entfernt Muni geholt , zudem wurde Nebelgranaten geworfen und die GI's wurden ja beschossen . Ich finde so manche Rezension unmöglich , ABER , Film ist wie immer Geschmacksache so soll JEDER seine Meinung sagen . Der Film ist meiner Meinung nach nicht "zu" Patriotisch , im Vergleich zu diesen Japanischen Filmen , er ist realistisch dargestellt und zeigt das Grauen des Krieges im ausgerufenen "Totalen Krieg" , zeigt Sinnlosigkeit und mit Sicherheit logisches und unlogisches Verhalten " im Gefecht " . Die Spezialeffekte und Kampfszenen ebenso ohne Beanstandung auch die Panzerkampftaktik . Ich finde der Ton ist bei meiner DVD etwas zu leise musste oft auf Stärke 11 und 12 wechseln , Normallautstärke in der Regel bei mir um die 9-10 . Das Bild ist sehr gut , die Schauspieler beeindrucken mich mit Überzeugung und darum hat mir der Film auch sehr gut gefallen . Ich spreche die Empfehlung aus bei manch einem Schreiber weniger Kriegsfilme anzusehen und mal nen Dokumentarfilm anzukucken , bei dmax, N24 oder discovery channel ..... da spiegeln sich nähmlich so manche Szene wieder was man im Film sehr deutlich sehen konnte , aber wie gesagt , Film ist Geschmacksache und JEDER hat seine Meinung . Ach ja , wie ich sehe wegen den Kommentaren : Erst lesen verstehen und dann Kommentieren , klar bin ich nicht ins Detail , weis wann die Landung in der Normandie war , meinte als Kanonenfutter im Vergleich zu FURY eben die Anfangsszene bei Private Ryan bei der Landung und das Gemetzle durch MG Feuer , und das man in den Kriegsfilmen aus den 50igern bis 70igern oder 80igern keine Leutspurmunition verwendete ist auch nicht ganz richtig . Wie man im Gefecht reagiert ist von logisch bis unlogisch im Film deutlich , aber nicht nur bei "FURY" . Aber wie gesagt ist wie im Fußball , da weis auch JEDER alles besser besonderst die Oberlehrer/lehrerinnen die auf Rechtschreibung achten und Kommas ....
