a5c7b9f00b A grizzled tank commander makes tough decisions as he and his crew fight their way across Germany in April, 1945.
1945, in World War II Germany, the tough Sergeant Don 'Wardaddy' Collier commands a tank and survives a German attack with his veteran crew composed of Boyd 'Bible' Swan, Trini 'Gordo' Garcia and Grady 'Coon-Ass' Travis. He receives a rookie soldier Norman Ellison as the substitute for his deceased gunner and he tries to harden the youth along the way.
I&#39;m not one to usually watch ww2 movies and stay as tuned in as i was. But WOW Fury literally just blew me away. I have to say I was not disappointed when I watched this. I quite truly did not expect to get as drawn in as I did. <br/><br/>I was skeptical at first, primarily because Shia LaBeouf playing one of the main/supporting roles almost turned me away before seeing the movie, as some quite crazy things were revealed that Shia, didn&#39;t wash the whole movie shoot, had one of his teeth removed of he own request and actually slashed his own face instead of using make up to simulate cuts. Odd definitely, but to get into his character as well as he did I take my hat off to him. On top of that he spent many hours learning to operate the vehicle featured in the movie to an expert level and insisted on staying in control of it even when he wasn&#39;t needed to do so. This actually made me want to see it and totally flipped my initial thoughts around! with all his personal life problems aside, Shia LaBeouf especially was top notch, the characterisation played by all the cast was extremely convincing and gave a very believable conception to what the conflict was like for those involved all those years ago. <br/><br/>Fury itself put lots of stories and tales into a great screenplay for me, as my grandfather occupied the same role in ww2 as Brad Pitt does in Fury. My grandfather told me stories of his experiences, and those of his friends from around the same time the movie is based. The way the characters in the movie give each other a hard time here and there, dealing with the stress and reality of the situation and then pull together like a family is exactly like stories i have been told. <br/><br/>I was just gripped the whole way through, although some parts were a little predictable, but mostly you really couldn&#39;t tell where or what was going to happen until it did. <br/><br/>This movie for me was a fantastic watch and will absolutely be one I will put on my all time favourites shelf.
Reviewer after reviewer criticizes this movie for its phony depictions of the war, clichés and unrealistic battle scenes. There is only one significant fact that is crucial to know when it comes to the accuracy of the depiction; Shermans were going to be your coffin in a face-off with a Tiger. If you want serious historical detail then consider watching a WWII documentary. I think the overall depictions were secondary and only serve as the backdrop for the director&#39;s real message which was the painful slow process of the relationship that was built between these guys in a tragic situation. I think Ayers did a masterful job at this. You think Brad Pitt is a second rate actor? Watch his facial expressions during the scenes in the room with Logan Lerman and the 2 women; Watch his nervous breakdowns. Watch him in the &quot;Why are you such an asshole?&quot; scene. Watch him as he jokes with his guys about Hitler and chocolate bars. Even with Wardaddy&#39;s personal weaknesses, by the middle of the movie you understand why these guys liked, admired and respected him, and I&#39;ll bet you do also. His timing and delivery, in my opinion, are better than Tom Hanks on this best day. Watch LaBoeuf&#39;s nervous leg, and a list of other endearing nuanced details; He plays a very convincing religious proselytizer. During the tank battle if you didn&#39;t feel like your life was threatened then you were probably on xanex. I&#39;m not sure that there is another film that conveys this kind of claustrophobic camaraderie from a tank crew&#39;s viewpoint. If there is, I&#39;ve never seen it.
Though colorfully embellished with authentic detail and logistically complex to bring to the screen, Ayer’s script is bland at the most basic story level, undermined by cardboard characterizations and a stirring yet transparently silly climactic showdown.
His tank was the first one destroyed in the battle with the Tiger tank. These are not laser beams, they are &quot;tracer rounds&quot;. They are typically loaded in machine guns and tank shells as a way to determine where the rounds are actually firing. Should they miss, you can adjust your aim accordingly by watching the direction the round is firing. The average lifespan can&#39;t really be confirmed. But it is a generalization that Allied tank crews suffered heavy losses at the hands of the superior German armour, which is true. The Sherman tank was used by the Allies in every theatre of World War 2 and was famed for its speed, maneuverability, reliability, ease of mass production and ease of repair/maintenance. However, its&#39; initial 75mm, and later on 76mm gun, was generally incapable of penetrating the main armour of its&#39; German counterparts, the Panther, Tiger 1E, and later King Tiger. The Panther&#39;s high-velocity 75mm gun, and the Tiger and King Tiger&#39;s 88mm gun (initially designed for anti-aircraft roles) could easily defeat the Sherman&#39;s armoured protection, as could German infantry anti-tank weapons. The Sherman&#39;s high profile also made it comparatively easy to spot, and its&#39; use of a petrol (gasoline) engine gave it an unfortunate propensity to burst into flames when hit. British and Canadian troops nicknamed them &#39;Ronsons&#39; due to this fact in reference to a brand of cigarette lighters that are guaranteed to &#39;Light every time&#39;. The Germans rather more bluntly referred to them as &#39;Tommy cookers&#39;. The German tanks also used petrol engines, but one model of the Sherman, the M4A2, did use a diesel engine, but most of its production went to the US Marines in the Pacific, and the Russians.<br/><br/>You can find the armor stats for almost any armored fighting vehicle in history online. Look up the Tiger I, King Tiger, and the Panther; both later models had sloped armor which greatly added to deflecting armor piercing rounds, compared that with the Sherman. It was simply pitiful for the General in charge of Ground Forces, Lesley McNair, to be allowed to send so many soldiers into battle in such an inferior weapon, that was practically obsolescent after the introduction of the Tiger. But the Sherman was designed as an infantry support tank, not a tank-vs-tank unit, like its German opponents (and most modern-day &#39;main battle&#39; tanks).<br/><br/>Generally, German tanks were technically superior to Allied tanks. The problem the Germans had was that with a war on two fronts, and heavy Allied bombing, they simply couldn&#39;t produce the tanks quick enough. Their tanks were also over-engineered, and units produced towards the end of the war tended to break down too easily. Additionally, on the last year, they also ran out of manpower to crew the tanks. The Tiger tank was a heavy tank at 54 tonnes, versus the Sherman at 30-33.5 tonnes but (as shown by the film) it could only be knocked out by the Sherman&#39;s cannon at close quarters, from the side or behind where the armor was thinner. The Sherman could also do it with the specialized 76mm High-Velocity Armor-Piercing ammunition (type M93 HVAP) but this was in very limited supply, and priority went to the M36 &#39;Jackson&#39; and other tank destroyers. Battlefield comments from Normandy onwards showed that on average it took the loss of 7 Shermans to knock out one Tiger tank. The US did, however, have a lot more tanks than the Germans. The German antitank weapon called the Panzerfaust (seen in the film, being pulled from its packing crates in the darkness) was also greatly feared by Allied tank crews. The one-shot LAW-type device had a hollow charge and could knock out any Allied tank at close range (the Panzerschreck was a heavier reloadable bazooka-like weapon). During the last months of the war in Europe, the Allies also had greatly superior air power as well and this helped to negate the tank advantage on the ground that the Germans had. The film showcases the Sherman&#39;s main strengths in combat - bristling with machine guns (including the powerful .50 M2HB, nicknamed the &#39;Fifty&#39; or &#39;Ma Deuce&#39;) and its maneuverability, which made it an excellent infantry support weapon.<br/><br/>Its interesting to note that the tanks shown in the movie were a mixed bag: &#39;Fury&#39; was an M4A2E8 (76)W HVSS Sherman tank, and &#39;Lucy Sue&#39; an M4A2 Sherman, but as you don&#39;t see the engine decks, so for sake of the story, they could be mistaken for petrol-fueled units (the A2&#39;s carried a diesel powerplant. &#39;Matador&#39; is an M4E8 (76)W HVSS Sherman, &#39;Murder, Inc.&#39; an M4A4 Sherman, and &#39;Old Phyllis&#39; an M4A1 (76)W Sherman. All but Lucy Sue were later &#39;W&#39; or wet-stowage ammunition types, and only Matador and Fury had the main gun capable of doing serious damage to the Tiger, and the later HVSS wide suspension track system. They carefully did not use the up-gunned British Shermans, which got a powerful 17-pounder QF gun of equivalent calibre to the 76mm, but with considerably more penetration - this Sherman was called the Firefly.
