"Wardaddy: Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."
Fury is an American World War II movie directed by David Ayer (End of Watch). This movie revolves around one tank named Fury used to house 4 brothers in arms until a former clerk who was brought into war by force joins them as their assistant driver. As Norman Ellison ( Logan Lerman) struggles with the cruelties of war and the harrowing decisions he has to make, the Unite States army makes their way into Germany. The tank is commanded by hardened veteran Don 'Wardaddy' Collier (Brad Pitt) and the other three memebers are Boyd 'Bible' Swan (Shia Labeouf), Trini 'Gordo' Garcia (Michael Pena) and Grady Travis (Jon Bernthal). Wardaddy has to keep his emotions inside and not show himself broken to his soldiers, while Boyd is a religious man who even says prayers with dying German soldiers. Gordo is mostly a mexican caught up in this war and Grady is the tough one from the south. As they make their way through war this movie showcases the brutality and the seriousness of the war. It shows how hard it is to kill for Norman. At one point he would rather get killed. It shows the differences between the new soldiers and the hardened veterans. This movie might as well be the newest and most different take on the World War II. Rather than a 'murica run-in to shoot the Nazis down, this movie takes it to a whole other level of emotions (I cried 5 separate times while seeing it) and shows us the true colors of war.
