FILM REVIEW FURY

Fury is a 2014 American war film written and directed by David Ayer, and starring
Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, Jason Isaacs and
Scott Eastwood. The film portrays U.S. tank crews fighting in Nazi Germany during
the final weeks of the European theater of World War II. Ayer was influenced by the
service of veterans in his family and by reading books, such as Belton Y. Cooper's
Death Traps, about American armored units in World War II and the high casualty
rates suffered by tank crews in Europe.

 Plot
In early April 1945, the Western Allied invasion of Germany meets fanatical Schutzstaffel
resistance. Don "Wardaddy" Collier, a battle-hardened U.S. Army Staff Sergeant in the 2nd Armored
Division, commands an M4 Sherman "Easy Eight" tank nicknamed Fury and its veteran crew: gunner
Boyd "Bible" Swan, loader Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis, driver Trini "Gordo" Garcia, and assistant driver–
bow gunner "Red," all of whom have fought together since the North African campaign. Red is killed by
a German anti-tank shell, which went through his head hitting the gun mantlet. Red is replaced by
Private First Class Norman Ellison, a young clerk typist from V Corps.
As Fury moves deeper into Germany, Norman's inexperience becomes dangerous: He spots but fails
to shoot Hitler Youth child soldiers who ambush the platoon leader's tank with a Panzerfaust, killing
its entire crew; later, he hesitates under fire during a skirmish with anti-tank guns. After the battle,
Don finds a captured German soldier wearing a U.S. Army coat and gives Norman his M1917
Revolver, ordering him to execute the soldier. When he refuses, Don wrestles the revolver
into his hand and forces him to pull the trigger, killing the prisoner and traumatizing
Norman.

I give Fury

The most epic war movies I ever seen. The climax literally
made me cry. Screenplay, Cinematography, Acting, Direction,
Music is all epic. The point where it lacked is the deleted scenes. They
should have been actually included in the movie to give smoother flow
of the war and the characters emotions
