The best line in the entire movie; "Ideals are peaceful. History is violent." Absolute truth in those words.

[@Jasta85]

Yep, I remember some lecturer in high-school saying the old line of "Violence never solved anything." I've always enjoyed history and I'm like wtf, history has been shaped by wars and conflicts between nations, it's an ugly truth, but still the truth. Everything from our technology to our culture to our language has been affected by one nation invading another and changing the status quo.

@@7Rendar you know i dont post anywhere trying to be smart, i learnt it. Its tragic. And the last 70 years without wars in Europe ((exept balkans) is a wonder. We should celebrating it and engrave it in our minds as the normality. ;)

[@SunDedGon]

I think it's pretty important to take notice that, in the final scene, a German soldier deciding not to alert the others when discovering Norman. In that moment when staring at one another, there seems to be a mutual understanding. Their fatigue & disgust for senseless killing was so apparent. It's a brief reminder that the "enemy" are human too, & the select few in charge does not represent all...

[@folk20310]

This is why I love this movie, it not showing that Americans is always a hero but as the same time showing that Germans is not a monster either, just a true perspective of the wars on both side

[@befamousornot]

this is just bad writing, that guy was not just a soldier, he was SS

[@cristianneagu3829]

The thing is that Norman would have killed that SS soldier without mercy if he would have crossed his sights, and the fact that he didn't kill Norman after that massacre denotes that he was a weak soldier in my opinion because he did not understand that war is kill or be killed as an American soldier would certainly not show mercy to him as he did to Norman.

[@Kirisute69Gomen]

Shia's acting in this movie is one of my favorite performances from him.

[@stegwise]

Shia is pretty underrated in general and gets a bad rap for taking the paychecks early on for example with Transformers. he's one of these guys that shows up to do the job and then people judge him on the job he was supposed to do and did correctly, when it was the director that wanted those takes and he delivered them. i can't even fault his politics and his artsy cringe and bad life choices. he's out there living and doing and taking risks.

[@Wrathlon]

@@stegwise This. Dude takes some questionable roles but there is no doubt the man can act. Also that music video he did with Sia - he's very very talented and he's doing things his way. Cringe or not more people should be like that.

[@mondaymotivator_]

The egg scene was basically him gifting her eggs. At that time in Germany, eggs were a luxury food item, and were incredibly rare. It was basically like giving her gold and diamonds.

[@krashd]

Gold and diamonds that they then ate.

[@mikkel066h]

Eggs were one of the more common thing you could get in Germany at the time. Since it was a local farm product. The food items that were very hard to get was chocolate, coffee and other imported goods.

[@mondaymotivator_]

@@mikkel066h still, I don’t doubt that eggs might have been short in any given reason

[@saelaird]

Yea... no.

[@swordmonkey6635]

@@mikkel066h I think it was more of the symbolic gesture of him offering her food which is something tied to comradery and mutualism that spans time. The act of breaking bread with someone is an important social construct. Offering food is a gesture of sharing and a willingness to make yourself vulnerable by eating with strangers. He's also showing that he's willing to offer up something of value in exchange for the older woman to prepare it. No other strings were attached.

[@PattyO.N.Company]

the pain and honesty in "im just drunk im sorry," AFTER sharing his trauma, just stunning. the brokeness, the FURY, is the most human response to real life hell.

to be honest that line cracked me up the first time I heard it lol

[@michaelcurl9817]

As a former tank commander M60A1 with the 1st Infantry Division and a tank crewmen with the 1st Armored Division, I can appreciate this movie. It captures the experience of being a tank crewman better than any movie I've seen. The dirt, grime, and grease gets on everything, your clothing really suffers. The fire commands fron the TC haven't changed much since WW2. The interaction of the crewmen to each other is the same. I've had great crews and bad ones.

That guy that showed him mercy in the end was most likely the same age. Just a kid thrown into hell who didn't even wanna be there. I'm sure that happened a few times.

[@michaelccozens]

That bit, while nice, seemed ridiculous. The German was SS and a fallschirmjager (paratrooper); both of those organizations were volunteer. Unlikely such a soldier would have any mercy on an enemy.

[@NGC8401]

@@michaelccozens Nope. You wanted to be a Policeman or a Firefighter you were forced into the SS. French, Polish and so on were forced to the SS. Not everyone was a Volunteer. Dont mistaken The SS, the Waffen-SS and Totenkopf (Skull) SS with one another.

[@mikeno8192]

German, French, Dutch, Ukrainian and so on SS members were largely volunteers. However in some parts like Belarus - they were less willing, and from Germany after 1943 many were no longer volunteers, they took the scrapings of the least capable soldiers to do the suicidal work, or the bravest work in many cases. These SS after 1943 (from Germany largely) tended to be spared any prosecution for war crimes as they weren’t the same group as the thugs that joined originally. Even the foreign SS volunteers were often just extremely against Communism. The thugs tended to be the original brownshirts mostly.

[@zmanftwx8023]

@@mikeno8192 not to mention this late in the war Germany with scrambling together as many troops as they could they were fighting a losing battle and at this point Germany was willing to throw kids into the fray so it’s not a stretch that they would force a couple of people to join the SS especially if the ss needed troops which they definitely did.

"Ideals are peaceful, history is violent"-Wardaddy

[@Raven09s]

They told the horse story at the dinner because they were mad that he had Norman there and not them. They were left out of a nice situation and the scene shows how much of their own humanity they've lost from the horrible things they had to do. They did what they were told to do but it took a toll on each of them in their own way.

[@Timberdam]

Truth

[@romegavadquez6310]

I don’t think they were just shooting horses

[@StrunDoNhor]

My favorite scene of any war movie: "It's called WAR!! You feel it?!?" In short order, we experience Norman's desperation to save Emma, his rage against Travis for stopping him, his sorrow as his own helplessness sets in, and then we cut to TOTAL APATHY a moment later. The whiplash of it is emotionally _numbing._ What a powerful way to make the audience _feel_ the exhaustion & weariness of war.

[@CDAT1AD]

I am a former tanker with the US Army and fought in Iraq with the US 1st Armored Division in an M1-A1 tank. I went to see this movie alone and only made it through because so many fellow tankers showed up. I knew none of them and we all served in different eras and units. I was the only combat veteran there. I was able to watch this and stay here because I knew they were there and would understand any reaction i had without question. There is a brotherhood there you cant understand, and even though we were strangers, we knew the suffering and toil our job demanded. This movie, while full of some inaccuracies, shows just how dehumanizing war is, and how 30 years on after my war, I still struggle with what was lost and sacrificed so long ago. My favorite line about war comes from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, about his experience in the US Civil War. He said "In our youth, our hearts were touched with fire". Once you understand that, you have small window into what we fell.

[@colinmcmillan692]

I loved the part when the B-17 formation was flying above them, "aye give them hell." My grandpa was probably up there. He was a B-17 pilot in 44-45. "The Honey Pie" was the name of his bomber. He was only 18 too, and also went on to teach in the Korean War.

[@bobchandler7120]

Don "Wardaddy" Collier (1916- April 25, 1945) is one of the main protagonists that appear in the movie Fury. (He is portrayed by Brad Pitt; There is also a song of the same name on the soundtrack.) Wardaddy has severe third-degree burn scars all up and down his back. The script and some deleted scenes explain Wardaddy's burns. After Norman asks if the Germans did it, and it turns out that it wasn't from combat. Earlier in the script, he talks occasionally about how drinking doesn't solve anything. Later, Wardaddy explains he once was an alcoholic and drove drunk with his girlfriend and brother. He got into a wreck, killing them both. His back was then burned badly when the car lit on fire, and it burned until help arrived. The whole county hated him for it. Wardaddy was then given the choice of jail or serving in the military and dying for his country. Wardaddy claims it's the best advice he ever got. Collier may be an English name, but Collier is a second-generation German; He reveals in the script that his mother was born in Germany, in a town they saw burned to the ground by the SS, which explains in part his hatred for the SS.

[@mr.e1026]

That is an interesting history lesson.... where history matters most.

[@SIXSTRING63]

It’s good to see you young ladies witnessing history of WWII. As Brad said, ideals are peaceful but history is violent. My dads oldest brother was killed in Germany in late April 1945 after surviving the Normandy invasion depicted in Saving Private Ryan. The war ended in early May in Europe and my uncle only had to survive a few more weeks and would have went home. Can you imagine surviving the carnage at Normandy and making it through all the fighting another 8 months and losing your life two weeks before the German surrender. My dad was the youngest of 12 kids and his brother that was killed was the oldest. My dad was only 4 when it happened so his memory of his brother are very little. Sad he never got to know him. His other older brother did survive the war thankfully and they were close until his brother passed. Dad is the last living member of his family. Dad served as a Navy Corpsman ( medic) from 1959-1963. He was discharged shortly after my birth and was not summoned to serve in Vietnam, Navy Corpsmen are the medics for the Marines. He most definitely would have been in the thick of the fighting.

[@forrestlindsey3947]

God bless those members of your family who sacrificed so much for all of us. Tell your dad "thank you" for me - navy Corpsmen are the best of the best' Semper Fi from a Marine who owes his life to navy Corpsmen.

@@BewareTheNoid it is extremely historically accurate. The allied armor prevailed because of a numerical superiority. The German tanks had better engineering, armor and more fire power. It was a fight of attrition. The allies would lose an average of 5 tanks to their 1. The Americans had the capability to retrieve damaged tanks and put them back into circulation after they removed the dead and made repairs. Children were hung for being afraid to fight. And the waffen SS did have children soldiers raised in the ideology of the Nazi party through the Hitler youth organization.

Aside from the cartoonish final sequence against the SS battalion, the thing I liked least about the movie was the way they gave the crew such a surly, menacing, insubordinate air so much of the time. I guess it wasn't unheard of, but it smacked very much of imposing modern cultural sensitivities on a time they didn't belong. More character development might have helped.

[@michaelccozens]

@@GK-yi4xv What in God's name are you talking about? Have you no sense of the cultural differences in a military during time of war using conscripted troops? Seems more like you bought into the romanticized version of the Western front, and don't like seeing the reality.

[@GK-yi4xv]

@@michaelccozens Nah. It's 21st century Hollywood-America, not 1940s America, none of it in a good way. The whole vibe was 'you're not our boss unless we feel like it' As I said, it probably happened, rarely, but not an entire crew. It has less to do with conscription (there was no great resentment against conscription in that war, unlike Vietnam), and more to do with the qualities of the culture and population conscripted from. (People did actually kill themselves when they were medically rejected from serving in that war) Is the interpersonal dynamic in Band of Brothers, say, a 'romanticized fiction'? (based heavily on the testimonies of the actual people who were in all those situations together) Part of the problem is Hollywood's ridiculous penchant for casting actors who are not just years, but decades older than the soldiers they're supposed to be portraying. Brad Pitt was a 50 year old Sherman tank commander! Bernthal and Pena were 37 yrs old. The oldest tank crew in recorded history! (it would have been more realistic if they had cast their sons). It matters to the way characters interact with each other on screen, but what are you going to do - 'that's Hollywood'

[@randallmccoy8581]

The dynamic in this movie is different from a lot of what you've seen because it's a newbie joining a "seasoned" crew that has been thru everything together. In combat, your life is in the hands of the guy watching your back. He's incredibly indecisive, which puts everyone around him in a danger (because you've got to react so quickly).

Not exactly correct. This is from Wikipedia but I’ve read this elsewhere too: While the storyline is fictional, the depiction of Fury and its commander Wardaddy parallels the experience of several real Allied tankers, such as the American tank commander Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. "War Daddy" Pool, who landed just after D-Day and destroyed 258 enemy vehicles before his tank was knocked out in Germany in late 1944, and the small number of Sherman tanks to survive from the landing at D-Day to the end of the war, such as Bomb, a Sherman tank that landed at D-Day and survived into the bitter fighting in Germany at the war's end, one of two Canadian Sherman tanks to survive the fighting from D-Day to VE Day.

My grandather dropped out of high-school to serve in WWII at 17 years old because all 4 of his older brothers went. He stormed the beaches on the second day of Normandy and was in several major battles. He operated what I believe was a 1917A1 tripod (machine gun). He only had one kill that haunted him the rest of his life. He had to eliminate a young German teen around the same age as himself because he was approaching the unit with a rifle during an engagement and posing a threat. He knew he had to do it, but killing someone so young as himself scarred him for life. He returned home at 21 yrs old, met my grandmother, and they were married a year later. He spent much of the first year of their marriage in Texas in rehab for PTSD from the war. He NEVER talked about the war throughout his life, until just months before he died suddenly. I'll never forget the "1,000 mile" stare in his glazed eyes as he recounted to me that story and a few others from the war. It was the first time he had uttered a word about the war in 60 years. He passed away in 2009 at the age 85 and was honored with a beautiful military veteran burial ceremony. I'm honored to have been the grandson of a man who served so bravely. 🇺🇸 🫡 🪖

When a tank hits (shoots) another tank, it does what is called:- "Cook-Off" as the internal ammunition start to burn / ignite / detonate. Basically, the inside of the tank becomes a 500 - 800 degree celsius (930 - 1450 degree Fahrenheit) oven / blow-torch combination - roasting anything and everyone inside (or what's left of them).

[@Rufus6540]

Didn't help that Shermans were called "Tommy Cookers" for a reason. Most Shermans ran on gasoline, not diesel, which had a lower flash point and burned much easier/hotter. Also, Shermans had a 5-man crew and only 4 hatches. The US crewmembers called them 5-man coffins. My dad was trained as a gunner on one during the Korean escapade and luckily, once he got in-country, someone figured out he could type and he was reassigned as a company clerk instead (opposite Norman, actually didn't think of that until now...). Finally, there was no separate storage for the shells like in modern tanks that allows for a cook-off that vents the explosions/flame away from the crew. One thing they didn't say in the movie is that Shermans were not meant to be anti-armor but close-in troop support (rolling pillbox basically). Not until they up-armored with the 76MM cannon on the Firefly (ironically the kind of tank Fury was) did they have even a remote chance against advanced German armor.

[@MeanLaQueefa]

I’ve had a round cook off in a full auto, wasn’t an open bolt.

[@tiger4361]

@@genghisgalahad8465 Yes, but WW2 tanks were generally not like todays modern tanks. The ammunition was generally stored "loosely" inside the turrets in racks, open / exposed racks. So it wouldn't take to much to start setting it off. One shell penetration was likely to start the cook-off. In todays better modern tanks the ammunition is stored in sealed blast compartments in a sealed ammo-bin. If the ammo does start to cook, the ammo-bin has blast doors to allow the heat and blast to be directed outwards to prevent the crew compartment from being roasted. However, more modern Russian tanks have the ammo stored in a concentric ring pattern under the ring of the turret due to the use of an auto-loader (ie. the loader is replaced by a machine). This makes them more prone to cook-off.

The climax of the film involves the plane being heavily damaged, the pilot killed and many others killed. The survivors parachute out, including the co-pilot.

Fury, while inaccurate in quite a few ways, does such an amazing job showing the ugly reality of war, like how sheer cruel, despiccable and outright brutal people can be towards one another once the circumstances are in place. All the actors perform their roles phenomenally! Norman's transition from a naive and innocent clerk to battle-hardened traumatized veteran is so well portrayed it's almost scary. The whole movie also puts a light upon the reality of how sheltered and disconnected almost all of us are from humanity's ugliest side. Like the two of you ladies spoke of early in the film, we are all so damn sheltered, priviliged and focused on rights and "everyone should be equal" and "everyone should have a good life" and so forth, that when reality hits us from a sufficiently ugly direction, we crumble like a house of cards in a tornado. It's only because our lives are so good that we even have the time and energy left over to focus on equity, gender differences, rights and equality. I've heard PTSD described as a human's inability to reconcile reality with a persons preconcieved idea of reality. When reality just becomes too gruesome to keep up with on an individual's mental level, it breaks apart your idea of how the world works. That's why you see people mentally trapped in the place they served in, they get trained to perform in war, but things like the reality of being shot at, by bullets that may well end your life before you even get the chance to realize it, is to many such an intense and horrifying experience that pins you into the here and now that the life they knew previously becomes like a dream, distant and unreal. Survival demands you relate to reality in the best way possible, the difference between home and war may be so vast that you may struggle to flip the switch back again. That's why writing about your experiences, preferably by hand regardless of what kind of trauma you have been through, is often so helpful. It helps you gradually putting your experience into a "then and there" perspective, thus also allowing it to become part of you, as opposed to a "here and now", thus taking control away from you. Our minds are truly incredible, sometimes real ugly, but also carrying such a capacity for good....

I respectfully disagree. I think its quiet obvious that David Ayer depicted the unmeasurable amount of animosity and plain hate from the Allies towards the German Nazis, Wehrmacht and the civilian population during WWII. Travis, Gordo and Bible intentionally described the unfathomable scenarios of death and gore they had to experience during their time in Europe to make a point. They were disgusted and aggravated that Wardaddy “played house” and engaged with the German population, with the enemy. Seeing your brothers in arms die and be massacred changes people. Its not justified but I understand why every country involved in WW2 had a civilian kill count. While the Axis had to be stopped the civilians on all sides including the Axis like Germany and Japan suffered tremendous casualties and were victims of mass scale war crimes. The Allies also raped and mass executed hundred thousands of German civilians specifically the Russians but including the US soldiers. They were all full of hate because of the unbelievable atrocities like the holocaust, losing their brothers in war and family members to the Nazis or Wehrmacht soldiers and being so hardened and stripped off humanity after years in war. This scene was a very dark yet accurate depiction what war does to human beings. But what you said could also be played into it. I personally believe this scene presented the hate towards all Germans in general. It cant be helped and doesnt mean the US soldiers were animals. This applies to most Ally and Axis soldier who got completely dissentisized and only pictured the enemy as a ruthless, spawn from hell that had to be taken down no mattee the cost.

'Pearl Harbor' _is_ a "War Movie". The basis being was: Japan's attack on the Hawaiian Islands was absolutely an Act of War. Most Americans easily got UNglued about it and the United States easily switched from a pacifist position in WW2, to counter attacking the heart of Tokyo- it was literally called 'The Doolittle Raid', because it was headed by a major US defense leader with the last name of Doolittle. It was a "pin prick" into the Japanese war machine, but a good one that did MORE damage back to the Axis Powers, than what the Pearl Harbor sneak attack did to us. Also, I do get a kick out of the fact that there was a Canadian force of personnel during D-Day on one of the beaches.

What makes this movie a masterpiece is the interpretation of a familial balance that a lot of people miss within the action scenes. Brad Pitt is the father figure. Shias character is that older good kid. Gordo is the middle child that kind of minds his own and is indifferent. Grady is the youngest, least educated and most rambunctious. Norman is like an adopted child who comes in the family later in life after the death of the man whose spot he replaced. And the entire movie is centered around that dynamic. The growth of Norman from a clerk, up until the build up of his acceptance into the family with the adaptation of his nickname the machine...... this movie really strikes a chord on behind the scenes role play that happen right before your eyes. Which is why I don't mind the technical errors in warfare scenes.

[@i.ak.1684]

I appreciate how you guys were vulnerable and didn’t start talking during the heavy parts to make it easier but less emotional. It’s somehow cathartic to see other people see things I have seen. You know war creates this darkness in you, and the only way to survive is to become it. Both psychologically but also literally. And it’s the purest form of maturity, I believe, to have to face death, thus become fully aware of it, and therefore fully aware of the value of life and how real everything is, because far from danger people sometimes forget how real everything is, living their ordinary lives, and then you, as a soldier, have to accept all these things, incredibly hard to swallow things, and energetically put yourself into dangerous situations, over and over again. Like you have to be okay to die, you put something else, something bigger above yourself, people are willing to give their lives, so that their friends can make it home, and I think that only people who fight for the right thing are capable of that, to jump on a grenade for your friends.

Fun fact- Shia LaBeouf pulled out his own tooth a few weeks into the filming and also did shower for weeks at a time cause he said He wanted to better understand his role for the character and wanted to understand how he felt in it. Incredible

I came to this channel late. I really enjoy the content. When she asked “Does Pearl Harbor count?” and you said “These people would say no.” I knew then that I had found home.

[@PopcornInBed]

🤣🤣 welcome!

[@mitchellneu]

@@PopcornInBed I agree. With respect to your love of rom-coms, as well as your respect of war flicks, Pearl Harbor(2001) is NOT a good mix. It’s more romantic drama, but in a way that detracts from the historical value and the sacrifices made during and after the attack. Also, the acting and writing regarding the leads kind of sucks…A LOT. I suggest Tora! Tora! Tora!(1970) if you want, as History Buffs put it, “the GOOD Pearl Harbor movie”.

[@ovp66223]

@@mitchellneu I second Tora! Tora! Tora! I like that part was filmed by a Japanese team and the rest by American team. I like that Japanese spoke Japanese (I can handle subtitles). I also like Da Boot! and watching the German language one with subtitles.

Welcome, to one of the most intense and brutal war films ever created. Saving private Ryan was the film of the 90s, well Fury is truly the one of the 21st-century’s 2010s. It’s horrible, but the realities of war and that are true, and it’s definitely a necessary viewing for all of us, whether we like it or not. It is truly that powerful, and it is so great that you decided to watch it in the end.

This is why we all should revere our veterans. And be thankful for their eternal sacrifice. This is war.

[@chrisnewtownnsw]

haha you two ladies are absolutely adorable. So cute hiding behind the blankets when it gets intense.

[@mediocregatsby7247]

As a veteran who has been dealing with emotion numbness I need to thank you. Something about your reactions actually helps me, it makes me cry and hey... It's something. Restrepo, Korengal, and Lone Survivor will tug at your heart strings.

[@InfiniteStates]

Lone Survivor, good shout! Another brutal one though - hard to watch

[@alainvosselman9960]

I have the same thing with reaction videos. Also experiencing emotional numbness due to mental/ emotional abuse by several narcissists & sociopaths of who i wasn't aware they were suffering such disorders. Normally i'm rather empathic, sensitive but years of recovery took their toll. It's harder to feel. When watching their reactions i can feel again like i used to. Also makes me cry. Pent up grief i guess.

[@adamlopez7947]

Thank you for your service 😞❤️‍🩹

[@kevsparrow774]

Part of why I enjoy watching you so much is because your reactions are REAL. You don't stage reactions or over-react and both of your hearts are so kind. I'd imagine you live your lives with your hearts on your sleeves. War is ugly, it's terrifying, horribly sad, and filled with pain. Your sister's jump scares and covering of the face is real and I think in this day and age of reaction videos and KZbin personalities, yours seems the most....human. We are so very lucky we didn't grow up around this War where friends and families went off to die.

"This ain't pretty yo', but it's what we do" is a line that captures the military pretty well sometimes. But at the same time, "best job I've ever had" does too.

[@droopymccool2133]

The house scene is pretty heart breaking, you've at the start Brad Pitts character is just wanting some quiet pretend time, even sharing it with the Norman as he's still not been shaped by war, then the others come in and start being very aggressive and disruptive. I take this as they've been away from home for so long fighting the war they've felt the need to be monsters in order to survive, even when they're not directing fighting, the moment they relax they've probably come to know how much harder it is to carry on after so they have to keep heartless and numb to everyone and everything.

[@jeffburnham6611]

Not at all. It's their way of dealing with the stress of combat. Even in modern times you find those types of service personnel. I've served with a few.

As a WWII history buff, when needed, I still have to look up things on the Sherman tank because there are so many variants of it. Keep up the great work.

[@TheGunderian]

This was a late[war 'Easy 8' or jumbo

Fury was a Sherman "Firefly" variant with an extended 3" cannon.

[@GhostEye31]

@ No it's an E8 like he said, the Firefly was a British/Commonwealth version the Americans didn't use it. I actually went and say a tank mocked up as Fury, next to the Tiger tank used in this film at the Bovington Tank Museum a couple years ago

[@cgmason7568]

@ Fireflies were British

[@bradleygarrett4580]

In the battle with the tiger tank, you can tell FURY has the longer gun. She’s a Sherman easy 8, with a 76mm gun instead of the short 75 the others had. The other tanks were unable to stand up to a tiger, even up close. They would have to get a side or rear shot to have a chance. The plight of American tankers was knowing you were outgunned, out armored most of the time, and knowing that they would usually knock out a few of yours before you got one of theirs. I can’t imagine the fear they all had in the back of their minds

[@yurrr4592]

33:16 “I need to know that was worth it” she mentioned that protecting the crosswalk but let me tell u this a lot of battles n lives lost in WW1 were small battles that none of it was worth the amount of ppl that died in general, this was a story of a few individuals WW2 saw the deaths of over 80-90 million + civilians and military deaths in less than a 6 year span
