Nasty, but great

Rating: 8/10 (30 October 2014)

First let me give you a tip before watching Fury: take it easy with the food. I love food and I eat a lot of it, but during this movie I haven't touched a piece of popcorn. Why? Because this movie is awesome. If I wasn't nauseous because of the details you see during the movie, I was sitting on my neighbours' lap with a very high blood pressure and my hands before my eyes.
There was just no moment of rest in this movie. Some movies can't pull this off and I get annoyed, but during Fury I couldn't get enough. The two hours this movie lasted, were the most intense hours I've had in the last couple of weeks, or months. And talking about that, I think 'intense' is a perfect word for this movie. I am not the most emotional woman there is, but to be honest I've felt a lot watching Fury.
When I saw that Logan Lerman played one of the big parts I was a bit sceptic. One of my all-time favourite movies (and books) is 'Perks of Being a Wallflower' in which Logan has played a perfect part. I thought seeing him in a war movie couldn't stop me from thinking about the Perks. I guess he has a lot of talent: he made me believe he was a whole other person.
And of course there is Brad Pitt. Everybody knows him, and I think also everybody likes him in a different way because every kind of character you can imagine, he has played it. In Fury, he actually played two parts: the killer and the sensitive guy. He is playing his parts very well. And quickly talking about Shia LaBeouf, I hope there wasn't real alcohol in the bottles since he is having some trouble with it, so I've read. Besides that, he –and the rest of the cast- has really entertained me.
For the content of the movie, I haven't got a lot to say besides that everybody must watch it. I don't like bloody movies where you can see every detail how someone is killed. But in Fury, these details weren't for entertainment. What you see is just the reality of war: it is not nice. So what makes this war movie different from other movies with the same subject, is that I felt this was reality. This wasn't just a movie about some guys in a tank killing people. This is a movie about the difficulty of shooting someone. It is about the transformation people have during war.
Of course there are some American, exaggerated characteristics, especially at the end of the movie. Fury, however, is so intense that I don't even notice it. And I even if I do, I don't mind.
