It never occurred to me until watching this that the German who didn't turn in Norman may have been their Norman at the beginning of the movie.

[@spamhere1123]

Good thought. And as odd and plot-armor-y that the moment was, it actually happened more often than you think--a soldier refusing to kill an enemy. This late in the war, many of the German soldiers were barely above children yanked from the cradle to fight on the frontline, as so many of the men of fighting age had already been killed. Everyone knew the war was almost over, and...well, some of those young boys just didn't want a meaningless death on their consciences when they knew they were going to lose anyway.

When you first meet the crew and the boy is introduced to them you think they're a bunch of assholes for picking on him and then you realise they're hardening him up and you realise at the end that this is a Brotherhood made in blood and guts and they would literally die for one another..... And incredible film.

[@spamhere1123]

I have to admit, I never believed them to be assholes. Norman was really unlucky to be transferred to a job he was so unprepared for, sure, and his morals and desire not to kill makes him a good human...but his wavering would get his comrades in arms killed. This is inexcusable. This is cowardice. The crew's reaction to him was 100% justified from the beginning. As Wardaddy said, he was no good to them unless he could kill Nazis. He would get them killed if he didn't.

In some of the deleted scenes, you find out that Don (Brad Pitt's) character had a brother and sister that he accidentally killed in a drunk driving incident, he was a mean drunk. As I understood it, he quit drinking after they died. He got the scar on his back from the fire in the accident.You then find out that his brother's name was Norman.

[@LockeNarshe]

Interesting, though I'm glad they cut that out. It would have been a little heavy-handed, especially the Norman bit. The mystery behind him not really drinking and the scars on his back play better when you don't know what they're specifically rom (although it was easy to tell they're burns).

[@helloimnatewithnos]

I didn't know that. Very interesting 👌

[@Meshack263]

@@LockeNarshe I’m very on the fence about it because I felt the part about his brothers name being Norman was really important as to why he seemed to have that different kind of love for Norman. He really treated him like a brother. It helped it make a lot more sense to me

[@sbanta22]

I read also that his mother is from a small town in Germany(like the one that he pointed out that was on fire) and that she taught him to speak the language.

[@LockeNarshe]

@@Meshack263 Sure, but you could also make the reasonable assumption that he cared for Norman because he cares for all his crew (as evident by the several occasions he has to leave them to express emotion) and watched Norman go through the ringer to become more like them. Any time you've gone through something traumatic and have to watch a new person resist it before being corrupted by it like you were, there's a reasonable assumption that a bond would form or as to why Pitt would take him under his wing more. There's a lot of guilt involved in watching that process happen, especially when it's something you, yourself, can't get back of your humanity. And sharing a common traumatic experience and bonding through that is a much deeper storytelling characteristic to apply than just sharing a brother's name and making that the reason he cares.

[@Teamrat]

Now picture Normand as an old man, sitting in a nursing home somewhere telling someone whose half listening the story about the time he was the only survivor in his tank group. No matter how detailed he tells the story, you can't imagine what he and his comrades actually went through unless you where there. Now even though Norman didn't really exist, there are thousands of people like the character Norman that do. And even though they survived their war, they're so mentally and physically messed up from it that it wasn't really much of a life. So many veterans who wished they didn't survive because it's so hard readjusting back into civilian life with guilt weighing down on them. My alcoholic uncle once told me he can't close his eyes without seeing the war he fought in our country.

Being a former grunt and an OIF combat veteran, I love the realism in the portrayal of these men. Their bond, how they pick at one another, and how their love for one another as brothers shows through in the hard times, especially with Brad being the father figure as their platoon Sgt. Amazing movie, in my opinion, and I always enjoy seeing people's reactions to such films.

Some trivia facts: 1) The progress of a tank regiment getting whittled down was based a full Canadian tank regiment that were reduced to just 2 tanks over the entire period of the war. 2) The stories and character development inside the tank was based on several stories of American tankers. 3) The end chapter (Holding of the crossroads) was potentially based on two stories. One by a account of the writer "Death Traps" of which he tells of a story very very similar to that shown in the movie. However, other than his own words in the book, there was no other official records of such a event (Probably did happen though). There is however lots of records of a tank called "Fray Bentos" during WW1. Where a British tank regiment progressed into no mans land but were quickly taken down to one tank. The last tank had it's commander shot in the shoulder after he was guiding the tank from outside, he then withdrew inside the tank. The tank then got stuck in a trench and was sieged by German infantry for 3 days straight with the crew holding off with the tanks guns, then explosives and small arms. Only some of the crew survived. 4) The German tiger tank in the film is a real tiger tank... the only operational tiger tank left on the planet. It can be found doing performance displays at Bovington tank museum, England.

[@TheHellHeadbanger]

18:26 that is an SS sniper in a camouflage uniform. If you see the eyes of the sniper when he reveals his face, he fought in the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union. But when Nazi Germany lost Stalingrad, the SS sniper was ordered to defend the Fatherland against the Western Allies (U.S and Great Britain).

[@jamesskyway6746]

the unique and special thing about this movie is the tank battle. One of very few that actually used (instead of a mock up) a real authentic Tiger tank. This tank is at the Bovington tank museum. (search for Tiger 131 on KZbin) . For an illustration of how tough the Tiger was, search for "the tiger tank that wouldnt die". In Russia, the tank spent 6 hours in combat, was hit 252 times and still managed to drive back 60km to safety. Tactical errors in the movie are the tanks would not be driving thru hostile territory that close together. Plus the "Fury" was an upgraded tank with the more powerful gun and it was capable of taking out the Tiger from the front.

[@kix4635]

To this day though I cannot understand though why the Tiger would move out from it's concealed position and even close the distance between the enemy meaning the Tiger's armor would be less effective.

[@jamesskyway6746]

@@kix4635 i think they had no choice but to move. A common tactic of allied tankers was to swarm the tiger and get around to the sides and rear. The tiger had "smoke in its face" and knew there were still 3 Shermans out there. Due to the smoke they had no idea where they were so had to either move forward or turn tail and run

[@nosirGutz]

I never really thought about it, and it might just be a coincidence, but I think Shia’s death might have gone hand in hand with his role in the tank. He gets shot in the same eye he uses to see through the periscope when aiming the turret.

For your first war movie, you certainly weren't hanging around the shallow end or kiddie-pool, FACT. 'Private Ryan' & 'Schindler' List' come to mind in this hyper-real type war movie. Hard going despite any criticisms they drew. IMO, you come away from this type of movie emotionally drained just because you really engaged with the characters, no matter how you felt about them. As tough to watch as these are, they're way better than something you feel indifferent about after, given the subject matter. A great series to watch is 'Band of Brothers', really gripping, engaging & most of the 10 episodes are forwarded with 2 or 3 minute interviews/commentaries by actual veterans. So good.

@@woltervandenberg With respect you completely missed the point of the scene, brad Pitts character is called war daddy and is the authority in the film and over his crew, what he says goes. he tells norman that the SS are the worst and need to be killed on sight, while telling norman the ideas he hold's don't belong there, even forcing him to shoot a German solider in the back to break the ideas that Norman holds. both Norman and the unnamed SS solider are both young men fighting in a war that isnt theirs and don't want to be there, or kill but to just go home. this scene is important because it shows that war daddy is wrong with his ideas and that humanity does exist even in the worst times. theres a reason why the SS officer and the solider shot in the back are the only real faces of the germans you see, its because they are the humans and not some faceless killing machine but flash and blood humans. just as the scene in the house in the dining room from the ladies perspective would shows a group of angry drunk crazy awful disrespectful guys storming in to their house to eat there food with out consent. but as the viewer you know thats not the case. all you have done is fallen into a movie troupe of Nazi = German = bad, while not bestowing the same courtesy to those German soldiers that you are prepared to do for the American soldiers who you know are very clearly damaged.

If they refused, they and their families were either murdered/deported too. Most weren't even volunteers anymore and also the standards for joining the Waffen-SS were MUCH lower as well.

[@kevinnorwood8782]

The fight with the Tiger Tank might be the most heavily criticized part of this entire film. The purpose with this scene was to portray the Tiger as this absolute monster on the battlefield, which historically, it was, yet it was also the among the RAREST German tanks that you could encounter in the European Theater. Also, that is a REAL Tiger Tank that they are using in this scene: it’s the only surviving Tiger Tank that is still around today. It also promotes a lot of myths about tank combat during WWII that really weren’t the case. The main one I’ll mention here is where Wardaddy tells his crew “If we get behind him we can kill him!”. This is not ENTIRELY false, as regular Sherman Tanks DID have to get behind a Tiger (Panzer Mark VI) or Panther (Panzer Mark V) and shoot it in the back where its armor wasn’t as thick to destroy it (although with Panthers, you could also shoot them through their side armor, as it was also pretty thin compared to the front plate). But Fury is NOT a regular Sherman: it is a long-barreled Sherman variant known as a Firefly. The Germans were ESPECIALLY afraid of Fireflies, because they could EASILY punch through the frontal armor of something like a Tiger without any trouble.

The Firefly was only used by the British army. long barreled sherman tanks in the US army had 76mm guns that weren't as powerful as what the firefly had.

(according to offical making off material) The real Tiger is actually only visible vor less than 5 seconds in the theatrical cut.

And I'd like to think he let him go because he saw the same look in his own men's eye Many times during the war and just wanted it to stop already. you have to understand that by this point in the war the Germans had been at war almost 6 years.

Notice how at the beginning she was really shocked by the violence, but at 5:10 she was saying out loud to shoot them. just found that interesting

[@Diegesis]

Same as norman

[@samam4991]

I watched this movie so many times , I can’t even remember how many times , and every time i get emotional with it sheesh , legendary movie , my top 5 of all times easy

[@JustSomeGuyLV]

What I ''enjoy'' seeing is that movie succeeds showing us our true emotions that we often deny having in daily life. Like at 5:08 an antiwar person like me understanding that when war really hits and it's guns-out situation, there's no time for kind hearted talking-it-out with your opponents.

[@mignonthon]

Leboeouf performance is incredible, as the others actors, but with the contrversies he went through and was resposible. I will never doubt of his acting skills.

[@philmullineaux5405]

Hard to believe Shia was only like 25 when he did this!

[@BlackTyler_]

I want more maple . . And movies like this 💙💙💙

[@Jet.Single]

He said “who do you think you are Jesus? You gonna raise her up? This is war! Do you feel it?!!” And Norman cried out lol shit i felt it. Norman felt it. We all felt it.

[@edp5886]

One more comment - at the end when they call Norman a hero - you can see why most Veterans do not like being called a hero - our brothers and sisters that died are the heroes.

[@EthanHans]

A Soldier wont fight cause he hates whats infront of him, He fights for what he loves behind him

[@emokittendawn]

one thing that urks me of the early scene is that the tiger commander moves from his position. even the greenest wouldnt, all they shermans have done is thrown smoke in yer face so they dont know where you are and they arnt going to rush to meet them like they have to close the gap for any reason. they are in a concealed position the enemy is panicking and the first shot would of been the front tank and the second would have been the rear tank. a common tactic used by german tankers to stop the column and then rip it to shreds usually attacking in pairs or more with accompying infantry (if they had it available), 2 dons tank is an upgraded easy 8 tank more then capable of penetrating a tigers front at 300m the other 75s might have issue till closing the gap. and finding big cats on the western front is rare since most of germanies strength was on the eastern front being obliterated by the russians .

[@WhiteSwan90]

The music of this movie is so epic

[@joshuavaldez8384]

Shia actually found religion cause the movie. In the end it killed the crew to realize what war could do to something so pure “Norman” .

[@TheAlkochef]

This is why we love war movies. If you are affected like u were, it just means u are a fan. If cinema doesnt provoke feelings, what's the point?

[@philliplyttle1005]

This could have been a very different movie if the tiger would have stayed in his spot. But at least he decided to also push

[@Lock-Vlog]

The war is absolutely hell in this world

[@briancarver7840]

I watch a lot of reaction videos and I really liked this one. You have earned a subscription in my book. Your reaction was a pure feminine reaction to a realistic depiction of true warfare that you had never seen before and I appreciated it. Here are some thoughts to add to your understanding. This was a war (WW2) in which America was NOT a superpower. It was very, very possible for us to have LOST that war. Thus, the way our men fought was both desperate and courageous. These were real heroes. Men who fought knowing that they definitely could lose and lose badly. Men who fought knowing that if they lost their families lives were over. My own grandfather told me tales of how he was on a Destroyer escorting fleets into the Mediterranean and how they were attacked by Stuka Diver Bombers at the Straights of Gibraltar. He said he was never so frightened in his life, standing in empty shells, knee deep and burning and never knowing if he was going to be dead the next second. We in this day and age as Americans are so spoiled and do not even come close to enduring what that generation endured. I loved your reaction. I highly recommend you watch Saving Private Ryan.

[@lordmortarius538]

My grandfather was a sonar officer on the USS Niblack escorting convoys in the North Atlantic, hunting down U-boats. I know what you mean

[@reconsoldier135]

For the rest of his life, not a day would go by that Norman wouldn’t think about being inside that tank

[@dalton6108]

Don’t corrupt your heart lady. So few of you with such hearts left in this world.

[@AchillesofTroy]

It amazes me that none of the Germans had a bazooka in the last battle

[@rbrtck]

So all this time, the tank commander knew the Bible just as well as the gunner did. 😄

[@Aelvice]

"You feel it, YOU FEEL IT! IT'S CALLED WAR!"

[@paulahiggins4467]

The thing is the war most likely didn't end for Norman after this. I'm sure he would've been recycled into another unit

[@MrFloppyHare]

Definitely. And, after the European campaign, off to the Pacific. Which was a whole other kind of hell.

[@Nicagwody]

Very genuine reaction. Thank you! You are a beautiful person. Keep up the good work! 😁

[@joneszer1]

Well naturally the only thing to match the gritty war feeling of FURY is the pacific. So that’s next.

[@stevenreyngold1166]

The acting was off the chart good in this movie. It's difficult to understand what that generation went thru but movies like this, Saving Private Ryan, Shindler's List, and the Band of Brothers series are about as accurate as a movie can get to the real thing without being there. My grandfather fought for the Red Army in Stalingrad and never spoke much about the war. We immigrated to the US in 1979 and we went to see Saving Private Ryan in the theater when it came out. My grandfather watched the whole movie, but you could tell he was very shaken by it. I never saw him cry accept at the end of Private Ryan and Schindler's List but he said no more after that one. It was just too much. PTSD was handled much differently as it wasn't understood like it is today. The memories were often buried so deep that movies like this would unlock feelings that were locked deep in the subconscious decades ago. I don't think many people really understand how evil the Nazi SS was, and it's something that must never be forgotten, so that it will never be repeated.

[@SkaffaS]

the red army was just as bad as the Germans, bunch of savages all of them.

[@rabooey]

I get the distinct feeling that Maple grew up a little bit during this movie.

[@estebandominguez141]

You should definitely check out "1917".

[@simonacland9028]

i always thought bible was saying "one away" so thanks for the subs :)

[@aqhan]

This movie is a very rough watch. One of the best war movies I've seen.

[@randallbollinger9625]

Maple should react to MSgt John Chapman the only Medal of Honor recorded in real time

[@SG-js2qn]

When they say, "War is hell," they're not lying.

[@Yue2000thegamer]

that movie was the best one I've watched,I saw it like 9 times

[@howardandrews9593]

i must say, you have an absolutely amazing smile, its a pleasure to watch, and i love the bangs, so cute

[@rosscadby3128]

Just figuring out Norman was Percy Jackson lol

[@xlegoxgaming]

(Witnesses some of the Most gruesome Deaths of WW2) Her: How old is Shia?

[@niravathu7353]

Yeah Sherman VS Tiger was not a pretty match for the Sherman. I love that this movie portrays accurately that the only way the Sherman wins is through superior tactics and maneuvering. And a couple other targets to distract the murder kitty.

[@Archie2c]

That Tiger killed 15 men in those 3 tanks that was about the Average 3 American Tanks to kill 1 German Tank.

[@target844]

That is kind of a myth. It was very common that 5 US tanks engage single german tanks. That is because a US tank platoon was 5 tank and the had enough tanks and replacement to most of the time operate full platoon. Germany had very few tanks and it was not uncommon that the operated alone. US vs German tank battles are quire rare because there was not a lot of German tanks in the late part of the war. Lots of destroyed tanks an both sides is the result of other things then tanks. Warfare should be combined arms operations, so tank vs tanks preformans if thy are along it not as relevant is in for example computer games. It will be large military unit vs large military unit that is revlant. All part of it are intended to be a part of large unit not operat alone. If you look at the Battle of Arracourt 18-29 sep 1944, one of the larges armoud battles in westend europe after the allied invasion. German had 262 tanks and assult guns to begin with, 86 are destroyed, 114 are damaged or broken down only 62 are operational a the end. US 4th Armored division that tock the brunt of the attack losses 25 tanks and 7 tanks destroyers. The division loosed 41 M4 and 7 M5 A1 during all of September. I am in no way saying that all the German tanks was destroyed by US tanks, WAr is or should at least be combined arms operation. But it show that if you have battle between large armoued unit that 3 US to 1 German lost tank is not what you get in this part of the war If you on the other and look at North Africe there is battels where Germany kill lost of US tank, There is M3 used there that not as good ad the M4. It was US army first time doint large enegament with tanks and the did lear a lot, the Germans had a lot of experience at this time. This show training and tactic are in may way more important then good equpment. The 3 to 1 loss ration might be correct for allied vs german tanks on the westend from during the end of the war, I could not find any number. The reason for it woud be the allies had lots more tanks and there is other way they get destroyed

[@ronmaximilian6953]

Tigers, King Tigers, and Panthers were built in relatively small numbers and had mechanical issues. Most were sent to the Eastern front. Fast majority of German tanks that Americans came across were Panzer IV, and Panzer III. Early Sherman tanks were far superior to these in North Africa. Unfortunately, whereas the Germans kept upgrading their tanks, giving them more armor and better anti-tank guns, we did not for the most part. Most of our Sherman tanks retained the relatively low velocity 75 mm. Fury here had a 76 mm. Shermans were still quite effective against these German tanks, but they could take out Shermans. In reality, when paired with the latest American and British armor piercing rounds, Fury would have been able to damage the Tiger in the front at that distance. It could certainly penetrate the tank in its sides. That's why in real life, the tiger would have taken out Fury in the first shot.
