The gore of war . . .

Rating: 8/10 (2 January 2020)

Tonight's viewing of "Fury" was viewing #2; perahps #3. I know it is #2 for certain.
As a USAF Veteran who served during the "Cold War' roughly twenty years after the end of WWII, this movie was superbly filmed and produced. This film is coarse in some parts; grievous and saddening during other segments.
Logan Lerman as Norman Ellison plays a superb role, as does Brad Pitt. Although this film is somewhat mythic, it does reflect/represent the horrors of war. Logan, an Army typist who is sent to the front lines in Germany is an accurate statement about how our U.S. Army will recruit one for a specific specialty; only to send that soldier to God knows where else! (Sorry, Army buds, but that IS your rep even these many years later!)
Norman is an innocent lad tossed into the mire of WWII warfare. Somewhat studious and faithful, he has been thrown into a body mangling pit. But, over the period of the movie Norman becomes strong and coarse like his mates.
For those of us who like war pics, this is entertaining. Unrealistic, perhaps, but entertaining. There is a raw edge that softens only at the end. Kudos!
