Saw this one for the first time last night. Thought that it probably depicted the last days of WWII in Germany pretty good.
Have ya'll seen it yet? 2014 production starring Brad Pitt as a US Army tanker Staff Sgt. Did you like it?

Needed more rape to be realistic. That and a tank without infantry support and a STG44 wielding sgt.

Was a great movie.
Protip: Fury is not about WWII, or Tanks, or Nazis, or whatever. Those things are just setting. Fury is a movie about the love / hate relationship between men in horrific circumstances. About a long slow descent into the dark and finally... redemption, of a sort. |

Great movie.
I just don't understand why he didn't just retreat to fight another day. His hate for the Nazi's cost his life and those of his crew. |

1) What infantry battalion commander assaults a broken down tank in the dark instead of just bypassing it?
2) What tank crew sucks so bad as to stick together for 3 years in combat w/o being promoted to command other tanks despite terrible casualties? Ie, I've taught you everything I know about commanding a tank in combat. We'll let these green noobs command these green trank crews; you keep driving/loading/shooting. 3) Find an enemy survivor of a horrific battle; leave him under the tank, don't report there is an enemy in our rear. 4) German households still have means to boil water on demand behind enemy lines? Or did they have a wood stove already heated up for the eggs? Neat movie, great to see Shermans still moving. Would hate to face one w/o effective anti-armor weapons. |

I would have taken my people to the tree line in a hurry. I mean, at that point in the war I don't think that anyone was under the illusion of the allies not winning the war. I believe that Hitler too by this point had already seen what time of day it was himself. |

Liked it better than SPR; one of my more preferred war movies now.
When SPR is on I'll watch mostly just the beginning. With Fury, so far I've tuned in every time it's been aired. Good formula/relationship/script IMO between the crew members that made it likable |

What kind of got me about the movie in retrospect though, is that when the kid saw the SS battalion coming, there were several or even more Nazi troopers toting Panzer fausts. (spelled right?) Anyway, I think that their tank and the crew would have been nailed and baled within just a matter of a couple of minutes of the initial fire fight beginning. You know, like credits rolling pretty damn quick.

I don't pretend to know military matters, but this line of thinking is not uncommon in general. I have team leads who have been here 1/3 of my time at my company, are younger and don't know the company's way of working entirely not to mention having less experience. Have to correct them many times and teach them proper way to get things done not to mention correct their designs. They move some people up as just managers instead of experienced engineers for just managing which IMO is a terrible inefficient way to run a project. Not surprised if the same line of thinking is used in many other situations. |

It wasn't his hate that kept him there, it was his duty and commitment to the mission. He stayed for the mission, his men stayed from him. From the wiki...... "A platoon of four tanks, led by Fury, receives orders to hold a vital crossroads, protecting a clear path to supply trains and a camp full of nurses and rear-echelon troops. The map shows Emmerthal south of Hameln, where the railway from the Ruhr district to Hanover crosses the Weser river." |

Thought the same then stood back to rationalize it and realized if they did that, they would have had less chance to hit accurately with anything else but the main tank gun which would be bad with the limited ammo they had. Plus, it would make it easier from a distance for the enemy to spread out from all sides and creep in on them. Through the element of surprised they got the advantage while also being in close distance with an armored meat shield made it a better advantage IMO to gun them down easier and make each shot count. |

I think it was on Saturday evening, I watched it, not a great movie but not bad, I'd give it 3 stars out of 5.
It was kind of a bummer that the apartments got hit right after they left them, and the girls got killed, that was kind of sad. I would have left that tank sitting in the road and gone on to fight another day. It was kind of a John Wayne ending, you know, the hero dies but the kid that was hanging around survives. Don't wait to go out the escape hatch until AFTER the Germans drop a couple of hand grenades inside, you would be about half way out when they went off and made Swiss cheese out of your legs. |

Youve grown up on a generation of movies depicting the American fighting man as a neanderthalic, knuckle dragging inbred hick evil piece of baby murdering shit. At least 10000 women got raped in irag right? I mean look at all the filthy american soldiers we had there.
