Of all Great military movies out there, “Fury” David Ayer largely ignored. Despite being the success of a box office with an All-Star cast, the war drama is rarely discussed in the same breath as classics as “Apocalypse Now” and “Saving Private Ryan.” That’s a shame, because “rage” does a great job of portraying conflicts in a cruel and uncompromising way. Fortunately, the film now has the opportunity to find new fans, as it is available to stream on a free tubi.
“Fury” sees Brad Pitt and Jon Bernthal (along with Shia Leabouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, and other notable names) playing soldiers who have to fight their way through the German enemy lines during the last days of World War II – while wandering in a tank. As you can imagine, the experience is hellish to the troops, who have to survive endless siege. It’s difficult things, but the tank battle sequences are really exciting and packed. What’s more, the film notes that Bernthal and Pitt alone appear together so far, and they send the goods as Don “Wardaddy” Collier and Grady Travis, respectively.
Like many other Ayer films (“training day,” “harsh times, etc.), the cruelty in” Fury “is complemented with the themes of male friendship, which adds some humanity to the cause. This was improved by the bond that the cast formed behind the scenes.
Making rage was a bonding experience for Brad Pitt and his fellow -Casters
Is “rage” one of Brad Pitt’s best performances is the subject of debate, but the film means a lot to him. In an interview with NmThe actor revealed that he and his colleagues suffered three months of training to prepare for the military adventure, consulting real-life veterans for their experiences along the way. Not only did this make them feel more equipment to play soldiers in respecting their real -world counterparts, but the actors took some of the lessons they learned from the experience and applied them to their personal lives. As Pitt said:
“The biggest thing an actor can experience is to find, learn something about themselves and the world. This was one of those for all. We all walked away enriched. For me in particular it was a real study in leadership, while gaining respect and being responsible for others. I walk away knowing that I am a better father because of the experience.”
It sounds like the film has had a personal impact on Pitt, which says a lot considering that he starred in many great films throughout his career – including other epic war flicks like “Inglourious BASTERDS” Quentin Tarantino. Now that “Fury” is streaming on a tubi, there is no better time than now to find out why the actor holds a drama full of David Ayer’s act in such a high respect. Don’t get into it expecting to come out feeling optimistic and happy.
