A very good Anti-War drama...

Rating: Null/10 (11 February 2015)

The way I see it there are 2 types of "war movies": The first type aims, if not to glorify war (that it would be plain stupid) at least to inspire and promote an heroic behavior that leads to a stellar victory where the "good guys" prevail over the (often faceless) bad guys, like Top Gun or Rambo.
The second type of war movies though, despite any heroic achievements, has a more than clear Anti-War message. You she clearly people suffer, even the ones who are victorious. You see people fear. The cruel face of War.
Without a doubt Fury is in the second (and more preferable) category.
Fury is an Anti-War movie where the audience can see how people, even regular, good people could be transformed in a time of war. You get tougher in a bad way. You struggle to maintain your humanity...
A substantial part of Fury happens inside a tank and that claustrophobic feeling adds to the terror.
The acting is very good, but praises need to be addressed to the cinematography (as a bonus notice the "color coded" firing effect) and the direction.
Overall: A sophisticated approach to the genre of war movies. Recommended.
