Strikingly well made...

Rating: 7/10 (9 November 2014)

In life I've almost never been interested in trying world war movies. If I'm not interested in trying a world war movie, it doesn't ever mean that I don't think I'll like it. My bets to whether I'll like them are 50% chances. It's just that I prefer to watch a film genre which is my favorite and which therefore gives me excitement in advance before I go to see this movie for the first time at the cinema. If it's not my favorite genre then I don't have much excitement in advance before I go and see it and I don't always accept that. That's the way I personally work with my mind. Somewhat, for FURY, which is a WW II film, the feeling was different and by this I mean that I looked forward to see it. Now, how come? Maybe it was because there was Brad Pitt and because I heard from my father and brothers that he is a really good actor. Even if so (knowing myself) I still don't think I would have wanted to see a film with Brad Pitt if it is a movie genre I'm not interested in so that would be weird if that really was the reason why I felt excited to see FURY! Or maybe it is because I just naturally started developing tastes in trying different genres I don't watch much because of teenage maturity. Or maybe it is something else whatever it is! Anyways I'm glad to say that I liked FURY mostly because of the way it was acted! It wasn't just well acted just like this - it was staggeringly well acted and some of the acting there has gone beyond my expectations (sure as hell it did) and marked me tremendously, and that tremendous impact on me from the acting came mostly from Brad Pitt's character! It is the acting that made Brad Pitt's character feel like a particularly interesting and damn believable character and he really was in fact! Brad Pitt was truly at his best here (in his acting not his performance) playing a Sergeant that acts and behaves like a mean character but is like that not for the sake of being mean but is like that because he is affected from his past experiences with the war and tries to teach other people about the cold reality of war for their own good. His character was brutal and so unbearable and that's what made him an excellent, truly original character to me! In fact, Brad Pitt's character was just so brutal that I couldn't help but wonder at first if he actually was an unkind guy in the deep of himself but as his character continued to develop 'till the end of the movie it became obvious to me that he in fact is a kind man in the deep of himself. Even if it is a WW II motion picture, this motion picture also had a few funny moments. Ahhhhh, humor is really what puts me in such a good mood and warms my mood of excitement like a jack- oozy that warms down my body when I watch films and that's how I felt like when I witnessed a few funny moments in FURY. And the dialogs are smart and very well done too! Other great things: the movie is sensitively portrayed, the addition of the new, young and unexperienced recruit in Wardaddy's tank crew in the storyline, the new recruit's inexperience causing trouble to the crew in the face of danger, the depiction of the horrors of war are suitably raw, the cast is strong and the char battle scenes are suspenseful. However, the movie has a few flaws. Two of them are that while Brad Pitt makes his character act in an exceptionally good way, some of the other actors playing the principal characters of the movie fit too simply into their characters and should get a bit of complexity + the movie doesn't fully live up to its larger ambitions. Nonetheless, the movie's overall outstandingly well handed direction helps save itself My rating: 7.7/10
