FURY (2014) - Full Reaction

Very raw, heavy, impactful movie. Cassie, you had a thousand yard stare when the movie was over. Carly I was impressed how well you handled the movie. It's a hard movie to watch. I didn't think you would make it all the way through it. Great reaction ladies.

Rick Williams

Fun fact: There is only ONE original Sherman Tank left in the world that still runs with it's original parts - no modern repairs. The Director wanted as authentic a tank as possible for the actors to use (and they were given FULL training to use one). That last tank is owned by a private owner in England and he REFUSED to let the crew transport it overseas just in case the worst should happen and it's transport ship would sink or it's cargo plane would crash or it's lorry would be in a collision. So all the filming with the tank took place on a farm near the owner in Oxfordshire, literally 20 mins drive up the road from me, in fact my brother's fiancé's brother is a well known film extra and appeared in this film (he's the German soldier who gets run over (twice!) as the machine gunner and at the end as an SS soldier.

James Little

We were soldiers is a gore fest.. Good movie but brutal...

David

If I may suggest another film in the war genre, you might like "We Were Soldiers"; Mel Gibson and Sam Elliott star in the true story of the first major US battle of the war in Vietnam. The film also does a fine job of presenting the war from the North Vietnamese point of view.

Bill Poulter

Another movie selection for a war movie is U-571. It's a submarine movie and while hey took a little creative license they always limited themselves to things that could have happened. Another good one is Operation Petticoat with Cary Grant, more of a comedy but everything that happens to the sub actually did happen o several subs in real life... just not all at once like in the movie :)

Gary Quick

Huge kudos to Carly for making it through this, even more so for knowing that if the movie took place in 1945, the war would soon be over. A fine product of the Canadian educational system. Most Americans wouldn’t know that.

Lamar Smith

Of a ship.

Lamar Smith

In fact, that we call these vehicles ‘tanks,’ was part of the secrecy. When asked what the vehicles were, people in the know responsible for building or transporting them were instructed to respond that , “They’re water tanks to bring water to the soldiers at the front.” They obviously are not that, but the name stuck. Decidedly nautical terms have always been associated with tanks. Norman’s position in the tank is called both ‘Assistant Driver,’ but also ‘Bow Gunner.’ Bow is a nautical term for the front

Lamar Smith

As you watch this movie, if you listen closely, you can hear references to the vehicle, still in use today, that speak to the very earliest days of the development of the tank. This is all the way back to WWI.

Lamar Smith

Good reaction you two. My great uncle was a supply deliverer for Patton's army in Germany. This depiction of war is very accurate, if not toned down a bit. He drove a truck which was on fire one time because as he said, "they needed the supplies damnit, we couldn't stop." There was a reason Patton was called "blood and guts.

William Bryan

One of the team was in the Pacific Sgt. Manuel "Manny" Rodriguez who got killed on Guadalcanal. https://thepacific.fandom.com/wiki/Manuel_Rodriguez

Gregory Martin

Maybe you can rewatch hacksaw ridge with carly, i think it's a good one, i wouldn't mind if we'd see another reaction of the hacksaw ridge with carly. BoB or the Pacific might be a bit long

Gregory Martin

Only the most hearthbreaking movie I have ever seen. Not the most gruesome but certainly the hardest to watch.

Björn Von Knorring

The odds that they have not seen it is below 0%.

Björn Von Knorring

TITANIC for the sisters duo reaction

FranciscoGios

if you haven’t seen it yet Pretty Woman I think would be the perfect movie that you both should watch together!

Eric Serrano

Hello,

Eric Serrano

they reduced a company sized force to half its size, held a crossroad so that is a vital junction for supply lines.

ron young

same here man. I was with the 3rd Mechanized Infantry. "Prepare to dismount! Dismount!"

ron young

I used to get attached to tank platoons as an infantryman and sometimes it gets really cold in the desert. we slept on the ground, but the tankers would sleep in their tanks with their engines running and heaters on. so we would go sleep on the ground behind them where the engine exhaust was blowing to keep warm. also good for heating food - just stick the MRE in the exhaust grills for a few minutes. Tankers called infrantryman "crunchies" because that's the sound made when you run over someone with a tank. gruesome, but true story. another interesting fact is that tankers are the only ones authorized to wear "tanker boots", which are leather boots with straps instead of laces. they used straps because laces could get caught in the gears of the turret and rip someone's leg off. I believe in this movie if you look at the boots of the tankers and that of the infantry you can see the difference.

ron young

I feel like Downfall (Der Untergang) would be a nice follow up on this movie, only because of the time period setting. However Dunkirk is an amazing movie, that is super heroic, while also being frightening. It really puts into perspective what Churchill meant by "this is our darkest hour"

Mikio

The only women fighting in a combat position during WW2 was for the USSR, one all female air squad of which the 588th regiment would become legendary, a couple of really good snipers and 1 girl who was crazy enough after her boyfriend died, to use all life savings on buying a T-34 tank named "Fighting Girlfriend" and asked Stalin personally if she could command it and was allowed to, and she died when she went out to repair it. In the modern military women are unlikely to choose to become part of the tank crews, for the same reasons there aren't many women in male dominated craftsmen jobs. You sort of need to be a part mechanic or craftsman to maintain tanks and artillery. Even in Israel women today are "only" in around 70% of the possible positions, with less than 2% in tank crews, and it is even less in USA. Most women are regular soldiers, pilots, sailors or all kinds of combat-support roles like transport, cleaning weapons and guarding bases.

Mikio

When I watched this movie, I was thinking the same things, but I didn't even consider the timeframe problem. What a strange, confusing detail to have in your movie.

Derrick C. Shields

I do wonder about your take on something, though, use your imagination and describe, if you can, what differences, if any, a tank crewed entirely by women would demonstrate. At this moment, to the best of my knowledge, women are not allowed to serve in the combat arms of the US Army. No infantry, no tankers, no artillery. I’m not sure, precisely, the differences, but women have served in at least some of the Israeli army for generations, even having special forces units comprised of entirely females. I’m well past the “Are they capable?” question. Not all women could, not all men could but send a capable woman to tank school and she’d easily outperform Norman, at least initially. I think women have a very natural inclination to bond with each other and would, I believe, naturally gel together as a cohesive unit within the tank. I suspect an all female tank might even smell just a bit better on the inside. I wonder if you’d have any additional insight?

Lamar Smith

If you can throw, perhaps, some forward observers to call in artillery strikes and, why not, maybe someone with the proper radio to whistle up some air support and then you might really have something. Even more true if, for any number of reasons, your enemy doesn’t have all that.

Lamar Smith

Yes the infantry is more vulnerable but the tanks have precisely zero way to kill an infantryman in a properly dug hole. The tank’s weapons won’t point down a hole. The machine gun fire from all four tanks kept the German’s heads down. It takes experience, judgement and skill to create effective infantry/armor teams. As you saw in ‘BoB,’ infantry working alone is vulnerable, so, too, tanks absent infantry are also vulnerable. Boots on the ground might have, for instance, spotted the anti-tank mine that crippled ‘Fury.’

Lamar Smith

Often, the exact same answer, he might never see any specific target, at all. Machine guns can be used as area weapons. You’re not aiming at a person or waiting to shoot until you definitively see one. You want to put as much lead in an area you’re pretty sure has something in it.

Lamar Smith

Its a quite good question, actually without a single answer. One answer is that very, very often you don’t know. Norman’s operating a .30cal machine-gun. As Gordo explained every 5 rounds is a tracer, the glowing green rounds. Norman doesn’t have to aim just ‘walk’ his stream of bullets into wherever he wants them. Perhaps, you being so unbelievably smart, meant, “How can he see the man or gun or whatever that he wants to hit?” Another great question.

Lamar Smith

Dearest Cassie, you know I try always to answer your questions, to this movie more than any other. Recall ‘Fury’ and their 3 brother tanks going on their first ‘rescue’ mission. You asked, “How do you know what you’re shooting at?”

Lamar Smith

Reports of seemingly murderous combat troops, unwilling to extend the slightest mercy to their enemies, seemingly divorced from all humanity, caring in the most unbelievable tender and touching manner for a fallen comrade. There’s just too many observations to all be in error. So, if behavior like that indicates, possibly, the most profound closeness, bonds that transcend backgrounds or length of time known. How can you avoid “getting too close?”

Lamar Smith

So, I inquire of you two very sensitive ladies. Imagine you received the two ‘simple’ orders issued upon meeting War-Daddy: “Do as you’re told. Don’t get too close to anyone.” Just for the moment we’ll set aside the first order. I suspect any sane person in the world would perceive that the person most able to keep you as separated as possible from death would be him and I feel quite certain you’d, at least, set out with every intention of doing your best to do exactly what he said. We’ll call that a given. I’m much more curious about the second order. Considering you’re riding directly into danger that wouldn’t be difficult to determine would, essentially, affect you collectively. Those things liable to kill one of you, most likely will kill all of you. Not to mention, large as a tank is, the 5 of you occupy a space equivalent, more or less, to a linen closet. Did I mention, further, that you go in to battle sitting upon a veritable mound of explosives and flammable liquids. A quick aside to borrow Bilbo’s description of dwarves, “They can be stubborn, suspicious and with the worst table manners you can possibly imagine….. But they are also brave and loyal to a fault.” That’s the crew of ‘Fury,’ to a T. Recall the loving and gentle way they cared for their fallen comrade. Remember how they physically and emotionally picked up Norman after he’d been forced to commit manslaughter and sat him down and poured him coffee.

Lamar Smith

At the rather ruined meal, Gordo recounted a story of a miles long column of German vehicles, wagons, men and the like. You’ll recall the story of the crew, before Norman joined, being required to euthanize horses for days on end. I can’t speak to the horses portion of the story, certainly as mechanized as the lead combat units of the German Army were, the Wehrmacht was still largely horse-drawn, so it’s certainly conceivable. The column represented, though, the remnants of the entire German Army in retreat from France. A great deal of punishment was doled out and efforts were made to completely encircle the remaining troops and it would have ended the war some weeks earlier, had it been done. The Americans under Patton made it to where they needed to be but British Field Marshal Montgomery didn’t close his portion of the trap until many hundreds of thousands of soldiers had trudged back into the Fatherland. Patton was known for moving troops very rapidly, Montgomery habitually moved decidedly slower. Those numbers of German soldiers filled out depleted units and formed new ones showing a level of administrative genius the Germans called ‘The Miracle of the West.’ The reconstituted and new units would spearhead an attack that winter that climaxed around a little town called Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge.

Lamar Smith

When ‘Fury’ led the attack through the town and a hidden anti-tank gun ricocheted a shot of ‘Fury’s’ hull, War-Daddy called for a ‘Willie Pete’ round. White Phosphorous rounds were most definitely a thing until just after WWII when they were outlawed by the Geneva Convention. The round exploded inside a hard building, usually, and sprayed the interior with burning globs of phosphorous that, literally, burned hotter than the surface of the sun. The globs would stick to and then begin to melt into human flesh. You could pour all the water you had and the globs would continue to burn I diminished in temperature or intensity. The only course of action is to pry the globs out with a bayonet, tearing through the liquefied flesh and muscle. It’s completely reasonable to say Norman’s machine-gunning German soldiers festooned with them was an act of mercy.

Lamar Smith

So, the Panzerkampfwagen VI or ‘Tiger’ was an incredibly powerful machine, no question about it. The Germans produced something on the order of 1300 of them compared to 45,000 of the American M-4 Shermans. The Tiger had an interesting history, it began its existence, oddly enough, as a pretty decent anti-aircraft gun that had been available during the Spanish Civil War which was, in many ways, a sort of ‘dress rehearsal’ for WWII. German commanders noticed that their pretty decent anti-aircraft gun, when the barrel was lowered from the sky and used to shoot just about anything on the ground, it was an absolute marvel. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel used them against the British and Americans in North Africa to devastating effect. German engineers, basically took the gun and built a heavy tank around it.

Lamar Smith

You fantastic ladies asked, “Is it based on a true story?” It could be, but I’m not specifically aware. There are a few problems with the film but, certainly, 4 tanks, being whittled to 1, being whittled to one survivor in short order, is well within the realm of possibility. US tankers were suffering such egregious losses that a replacement having to clean the remains of the previous occupant was very widely reported. I saw an interview with a veteran tanker that said they put 20 inexperienced men in 5 tanks and sent them down the road to be dead to a man, all 5 vehicles total losses in 30 minutes. US tankers were dying

Lamar Smith

A good love story that has a mostly happy ending is 'Phenomenon' from 1996 with John Travolta. I think you and Carly both would like it and it's a pretty easy watch..

Baldielox

On the question of the artillery barrage that killed Emma, while possible that it was ‘friendly fire,’ the assumption that Americans wouldn’t call in artillery fire onto a town Americans occupied is pretty safe to make, especially given there wasn’t any attack underway. The Germans didn’t have any compunction about shelling a German town that had fallen to the Allies, especially if it had not fired a shot in defiance. Unfortunately this left towns with the option of being shelled by the Allies if the town resisted or shelled by the German Army if it didn’t.

Lamar Smith

I would also be very curious as to your feelings on the two ‘simple’ commands given by War Daddy to Norman, “Do as your told and don’t get too close to anybody.” The first one, as you saw, was difficult enough when what you were told was to shoot an unarmed prisoner and your conscience was still intact. Dearest Cassie, I wasn’t at all surprised that you perceived what was about to happen long before sweet, innocent Carly. You said it straight out, “He’s going to make Norman shoot him.” You could see the very, very slow realization come over her. I most definitely agree with your self-assessment, “I’m a little more seasoned, I guess.” One of the many things that keeps me coming back is your growth. It may sound trite but first-few-movies Cassie saying “War is awful,” just isn’t the same as today Cassie making the same assessment. War is awful but you now understand so much better why war is awful. You understand the specifics, horrid as they are, of what makes it so awful.

Lamar Smith

Now, I recall specifically warning you that Carly might not overly enjoy ‘Fury,’ but I’m very proud of her, as well. You owe her a ‘16 Candles’ or ‘Pretty in Pink,’ or some such. So, uncomfortable to broach the subject, but was Emma raped? Horrid as it is, the…..uh….exchange rate, as it were, was set. A chocolate bar or a few cigarettes for….well….a few moments of a desperate German girl’s time. War Daddy gave eggs and silk, unbelievable luxuries at that time and place, for their hospitality and two full packs of Lucky Strikes and the look on Emma’s face in taking them indicates she knew very well what that meant. She seemed to be given a choice of ‘who’ but not really so much choice in ‘whether or not,’ overall. It’s, morally, a questionable case in an ethically hazy moment in History. Do rest….uh….assured, I guess, that Emma’s countrywomen unfortunate enough to be in areas that fell to the Soviets faced a much more brutal reality as they suffered for the atrocities their countrymen had inflicted upon the inhabitants of all the countries they’d conquered before being rolled back. As far as unwritten policy for German towns by that stage of the war, the general guidelines were that if a town surrendered without firing a shot, a decision utterly outside the power of the inhabitants to make, Western Allied troops spared the town, at least, regardless of the sorts of things the troops would get up to, if they, for instance, stopped for the night. If a single round came from a town or village, though, all bets were off and advancing troops would level the town without compunction. As you saw in ‘BoB,’ Western Allied troops, British, American, Canadian and, later, French troops would give occupants of a house 5 minutes to get out of the house so troops could get a night’s rest under a roof. If they left, they did so unharmed, again, generally speaking and might be able to reclaim their house when the soldiers moved on.

Lamar Smith

Oh, Happy Day! Thank you, Cassie, dearest angel, so much. I’m so grateful. You were the trooper I knew you’d be.

Lamar Smith

If you want another war movie, you might want to try out Gallipoli. It is an Australian movie set in World War 1. I try to make a point of watching it every ANZAC DAY. It is not as graphic or as action packed as the other war movies you have been watching, but it is a very emotional movie. It helps to remind me of the sacrifices our soldiers made and continue to make. It tells the story of 2 runners who travel across Western Australia to enlist in the Lighthorse brigade. They form a friendship through their journey but end up being separated when one is successful and the other fails. It stars a very young Mel Gibson.

Brian McGovern

Yupp I was waiting for the twins for a reaction. Now have to plan when to watch the movie with them.

FranciscoGios

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Grinznmore

TOOTSIE and BROADCAST NEWS are great and I would absolutely love to see someone reacting to DEFENDING YOUR LIFE.

Patrick Flanagan

Something nice for you and Carly to watch together, Little Miss Sunshine

Dirk Rheeder

Platoon, Full Metal Jacket and The Deer Hunter. Vietnam war movies I think is a must watch. There are others, but these are my top three. No poll, just watch these three :)

Dirk Rheeder

A bunch of bunk. Now you are trying to censor potential movies Cassie may find difficult to watch judging by your own personal standards? Talk about white knighting, boys!

Shawn Anderson

My thoughts exactly. Some people are completely inconsiderate about the person who is doing the watching. Why Fury would be a good idea for Cassie to watch is beyond me.

RX2904

Movies aren't necessarily harmless. Some would say the primary purpose of the entertainment industry is to contribute to the jading and desensitization of it's consumers. I happen to like this particular movie, but I'm also a grizzled old burn out with little innocence left to protect. And that's the difficult thing about the reaction video phenomenon. The reactor has little defense of their own sensibilities, so the patrons must use their own self-awareness to realize whether they're making a suggestion in order to share something that's close and special to them, or just to watch someone else slowly lose the wholesomeness we wish we could get back. I'm not counting Fury (it just got me thinking), but maybe there should be a suggestion thread for movies Cassie (and/or Carly) should never, ever watch, regardless of suggestions. I'll start with The Hills Have Eyes. Can't unwatch that...

Shaun Stuart

Love stories I can think of "Amelie" (2001) has a love component in it, and is an absolute wonderful movie. Also "Somewhere in Time" (1980) with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour and Canadian Christopher Plummer. A very sweet small budget movie "All the Real Girls" (2003) with Zoey Deschanel. "The New World" (2005) with Colin Farrell and the absolutely amazing actress Q'orianka Kilcher.

Damien beatty

Eternal Sunshine is glorious.

Jon Johns

"Wartime heist films" has Kelly's Hero's at the top (IMHO,) with Three Kings a close 2nd. A great odd genre, but fun to watch. Great Escape, Monuments Men, Dirty Dozen... Etc.

Jon Johns

You think? Maybe you're right, but also I think that if a reactor wants to reach out and appeal to as many people as possible, a bit of variation in the content is needed. The amount of war movies and war series on here has been extreme, which I'm sure some people like. But for those of us who don't like war film/series, a few comedies and romances might make us subscribe and stick around anyways :-) Hopefully everyone can welcome a bit of variation :-) Just my 2 cents - have a great start to the week!

Tostos

For "happiest, non-mainstream love story, that is entertaining, and has a happy ending" movie, I'd like to recommend: * Heaven Can Wait (1978)(Warren Beatty, Julie Christie), * Broadcast News (1987)(William Hurt, Albert Brooks, Holly Hunter), * Defending Your Life (1991)(Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep), * There's Something About Mary (1998)(Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller), * Tootsie (1982)(10 Oscar noms inc. Best Pic, Actor, Actress, Dir. Writing/Screenplay, won for Best Actress in a Supporting Role; BAFTA: 9 noms, won for Best Actor)(Dustin Hoffman, Jessica Lange, Teri Garr), and * Victor/Victoria (1982)(Oscar: Best Music/Original Song Score)(Julie Andrews, James Garner, Robert Preston). --> My top pick: Tootsie.

Ron

Have to say it, love stories don't get clicks and likes.

Allen Bond

Non-mainstream love story: Out of Africa. A beautiful love story with fantastic shots of unspoilt Africa in the background and with John Barry's gorgeous score. 7 Academy Awards and Meryl Streep and Robert Redford starring.

Tobias Eiken

This movie. Yikes. I think it gets a lot of technical details right and some of the battle scenes are very good, but some of the actors are trying way too hard to make their paper-thin characters work, and the story sort of falls apart halfway through. Guys who have managed to stay together as a unit through 3 years of combat wouldn't decide to throw their lives away so stupidly with a last stand, especially since in April 1945 the German Army was melting away and the war would be over in a couple of weeks. It just didn't ring true to me.

Patrick Flanagan

Glory is incredible. It came out the year I graduated from High School, and my son saw that film in 6th Grade American History class.

Sean Novack

Unconventional Love Stories: Gattaca and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (both voted out early in the sci-fi poll)

Michael Hawk

"Please suggest the happiest, non-mainstream love story..." ez pz: Amelie (2001). French film. Both you and your sister will adore it. Promise! :)

Uncle 'Traveling' Matt

The firing of the .50 CAL machine gun from on top of a burning tank was done in real life by Audie Murphy. That is over 40 grams of metal traveling at 850m a second and with enough power to make the ground ripple like water as it fires.

Michael Hawk

Can I ask what you mean by "not the best depiction?" I'm no expert, but I am a big ww2 nerd and this strikes me as one of the more authentic portrayals of war and what it does to people that I've seen. Fury doesn't gloss things up and doesn't try to make these men more audience friendly like many other films. Personally I find it refreshing.

Drew

This movie is incredible, one of my all time favorite war films, the entire cast kills it. Fury is so underrated. I think my favorite part is that all the characters are so broken and, honestly, they are kinda assholes. War isn't all about being a hero, it's mostly a lot of normal men and women put into a shitty situation. Lot's of movies and shows try to make the soldiers depicted more viewer friendly, but Fury goes all out. As other people mentioned - including yourself - this was probably not the best film to introduce your sister to war movies.

Drew

Okay... May be the right time for Elizabethtown.. I think you and your sister would enjoy Orlando Bloom..

Mike McLaughlin

Very heavy movie/reaction. I can't say much more than what everyone has already said, but I can add something. Thousands of destroyed tanks littered the battlefields of Europe at the end of the war. There were whole units dedicated to collecting the bodies from inside of the tanks. Thousands..... That had to be the absolute worst job you could be given....

Fireteam Joker

Memphis Belle is great.

Mark M

On missions in Iraq, the fear of getting my platoon killed was greater than the fear of death and pain.

Michael Hawk

Fury itself is a fictional story, however elements of it are based on real events. For example the finding of a young tanker alone in his tank is based on an anecdote from a book called Death Traps written by Belton Cooper who during the War was responsible for recovery, repair and maintenance of M4 Shermans for the 3rd Armoured Division. Don (their commander) is based loosely on a legendary tank commander from the war, Lafayette "War Daddy" G. Pool who was credited with 258 disabled enemy vehicles. Before his own tank was knocked out in late 1944.

Phillip Ribbink

You've done a lot of WWII on the ground but haven't touched air or sea hardly, one of my absolute favorites is Memphis Belle, mainly as my grandfather was a gunner on bombers. Also Tuskegee airmen and Midway (new version) would be good additions as well to really round out the conflict.

Bubba Fett

Great reaction, but like some of the other commenters I don't think this was the best movie to introduce war movies to Carly =) I remember when this movie came out I watched it, not because of the content, but the director(who I really like). This is the first time I have seen the movie since it came out in '14. It is a well made movie with great direction and superb acting. It looks very authentic and certainly drew you in. But, the narrative feel flat for me. This really hammered home the how war strips someone of their humanity and forever changes them. And while I completely agree, I have seen that a lot and was looking for some thing else. That being said, it was nice seeing Carly back reacting with Cassie :D

MattN

I suggest the two of you watch Casablanca next time. It doesn’t get much more old school classic romance than that.

Paul G

Next movie with this Sis needs to be something fun and cute. So we don't scare her off cause I like her.

David RedEagle

After reading the intro to this reaction I wasn't sure what to expect. All the things you mentioned are true but I really loved this reaction because I think it was exactly what was intended by the film. As an audience we can place ourselves in Norman's position, he is introduced to all the atrocities of war as we are. It's hard to illicit tense moments if we don't care for the characters, the more we care about their outcome, the more stressful. Great reaction!

Mark M

Make it up to Carly by inviting her to a Harrison Ford movie like THE FUGITIVE. :) Or hey, SABRINA is a good Harrison Ford rom-com.

Alex Villarreal

Carly might need a dose of Kelly's Heros or even The Dirty Dozen maybe. Ease here in a bit. She might never come back.

softshoes

the Tiger battle proves why the Sherman was called the Ronsons by the Allies and Cookers by the Germans

christopher brown

Id highly recommend dunkirk for the next WW2 war movie or American Sniper for more recent events, both are amazing depictions of their stories and American Sniper has Bradley Cooper in it.

LightsCameraJake

Yeah, this is definitely a rough watch with some Heart of Darkness vibes. I have always had mixed feelings about this movie because some scenes are so over-dramatized (like the ending), and they really hit you over the head with the themes. In some ways, it is the opposite of a propaganda movie that would have been made decades ago to glorify war and combat. The humanity of people on both sides, the grey areas of morality, and the nuance of complex human experiences get washed away in both depictions. If you can convince your sister to return for a different war movie, I would recommend Dunkirk. It is a real story, and the cinematography is amazing. I personally like We Were Soldiers and Glory more, but they are both slightly more difficult to watch.

James Leet

You cant say that you thought this was a poor and cynical representation of ww2 and at the same time get off put when they held those german girls hostages . It happend in ww2 actually far worse things could have happend.

20 16

I never did watch this movie, guess that is going to change soon.

Mr. Killeverything

YAAASSSS Been waiting for this one for a while!

Jack the Narrator

As someone who spent several years in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle AND an Abrams, I'm really excited to see your reaction here. It's a great portrayal of life in a track! I love this movie! Best job I ever had!

Aaron
