Shia is pretty underrated in general and gets a bad rap for taking the paychecks early on for example with Transformers. he's one of these guys that shows up to do the job and then people judge him on the job he was supposed to do and did correctly, when it was the director that wanted those takes and he delivered them. i can't even fault his politics and his artsy cringe and bad life choices. he's out there living and doing and taking risks.
@@stegwise This. Dude takes some questionable roles but there is no doubt the man can act. Also that music video he did with Sia - he's very very talented and he's doing things his way. Cringe or not more people should be like that.
Jon too, the deleted scenes develop the characters so much, Shias performance on the night of their deaths was surreal, when Pitt quotes scripture the cry-laugh Shia does, amazing...
Yep, I remember some lecturer in high-school saying the old line of "Violence never solved anything." I've always enjoyed history and I'm like wtf, history has been shaped by wars and conflicts between nations, it's an ugly truth, but still the truth. Everything from our technology to our culture to our language has been affected by one nation invading another and changing the status quo.
@@7Rendar you know i dont post anywhere trying to be smart, i learnt it. Its tragic. And the last 70 years without wars in Europe ((exept balkans) is a wonder. We should celebrating it and engrave it in our minds as the normality. ;)
I laughed out loud when you said "I am not feeling much camaraderie here," during the opening scenes. In the military, that is exactly what camaraderie sounds like tbh
"We're going to skin you alive!" "Shut up and bring me more pigs to kill" By far one of the better exchanges of the entire movie. Just made me laugh for some reason.
@@america1st721 Indeed. It's like you just can't imagine how the fuck this was only a very tiny and small portion and there were so many more and far bigger battles fought during those years.
I think it's pretty important to take notice that, in the final scene, a German soldier deciding not to alert the others when discovering Norman. In that moment when staring at one another, there seems to be a mutual understanding. Their fatigue & disgust for senseless killing was so apparent. It's a brief reminder that the "enemy" are human too, & the select few in charge does not represent all...
This is why I love this movie, it not showing that Americans is always a hero but as the same time showing that Germans is not a monster either, just a true perspective of the wars on both side
The thing is that Norman would have killed that SS soldier without mercy if he would have crossed his sights, and the fact that he didn't kill Norman after that massacre denotes that he was a weak soldier in my opinion because he did not understand that war is kill or be killed as an American soldier would certainly not show mercy to him as he did to Norman.
That guy that showed him mercy in the end was most likely the same age. Just a kid thrown into hell who didn't even wanna be there. I'm sure that happened a few times.
That bit, while nice, seemed ridiculous. The German was SS and a fallschirmjager (paratrooper); both of those organizations were volunteer. Unlikely such a soldier would have any mercy on an enemy.
@@michaelccozens Nope. You wanted to be a Policeman or a Firefighter you were forced into the SS. French, Polish and so on were forced to the SS. Not everyone was a Volunteer. Dont mistaken The SS, the Waffen-SS and Totenkopf (Skull) SS with one another.
German, French, Dutch, Ukrainian and so on SS members were largely volunteers. However in some parts like Belarus - they were less willing, and from Germany after 1943 many were no longer volunteers, they took the scrapings of the least capable soldiers to do the suicidal work, or the bravest work in many cases. These SS after 1943 (from Germany largely) tended to be spared any prosecution for war crimes as they weren’t the same group as the thugs that joined originally. Even the foreign SS volunteers were often just extremely against Communism. The thugs tended to be the original brownshirts mostly.
@@mikeno8192 not to mention this late in the war Germany with scrambling together as many troops as they could they were fighting a losing battle and at this point Germany was willing to throw kids into the fray so it’s not a stretch that they would force a couple of people to join the SS especially if the ss needed troops which they definitely did.
the pain and honesty in "im just drunk im sorry," AFTER sharing his trauma, just stunning. the brokeness, the FURY, is the most human response to real life hell.
They told the horse story at the dinner because they were mad that he had Norman there and not them. They were left out of a nice situation and the scene shows how much of their own humanity they've lost from the horrible things they had to do. They did what they were told to do but it took a toll on each of them in their own way.
The egg scene was basically him gifting her eggs. At that time in Germany, eggs were a luxury food item, and were incredibly rare. It was basically like giving her gold and diamonds.
Eggs were one of the more common thing you could get in Germany at the time. Since it was a local farm product. The food items that were very hard to get was chocolate, coffee and other imported goods.
@@mikkel066h I think it was more of the symbolic gesture of him offering her food which is something tied to comradery and mutualism that spans time. The act of breaking bread with someone is an important social construct. Offering food is a gesture of sharing and a willingness to make yourself vulnerable by eating with strangers. He's also showing that he's willing to offer up something of value in exchange for the older woman to prepare it. No other strings were attached.
I am a former tanker with the US Army and fought in Iraq with the US 1st Armored Division in an M1-A1 tank. I went to see this movie alone and only made it through because so many fellow tankers showed up. I knew none of them and we all served in different eras and units. I was the only combat veteran there. I was able to watch this and stay here because I knew they were there and would understand any reaction i had without question. There is a brotherhood there you cant understand, and even though we were strangers, we knew the suffering and toil our job demanded. This movie, while full of some inaccuracies, shows just how dehumanizing war is, and how 30 years on after my war, I still struggle with what was lost and sacrificed so long ago. My favorite line about war comes from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, about his experience in the US Civil War. He said "In our youth, our hearts were touched with fire". Once you understand that, you have small window into what we fell.
I loved the part when the B-17 formation was flying above them, "aye give them hell." My grandpa was probably up there. He was a B-17 pilot in 44-45. "The Honey Pie" was the name of his bomber. He was only 18 too, and also went on to teach in the Korean War.
I'm an old Bradley crewman myself. I served through Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Infantry and Tankers give each other a lot of shit in the rear but we were all brothers when the chips were down. Hua?
@@CDAT1AD I was from Kitzingen, West Germany. B Co.1/15 3ID (Audie Murphy). My platoon was "loaned out" to 1st Cav. We landed in Dharan Saudi Arabia and did the longest armored road march of my life. I still remember our Lt (my TC) getting on top of our brand new Bradley and yelling, "Second platoon, mount the camels. We ride". lol We drove for days.
As a former tank commander M60A1 with the 1st Infantry Division and a tank crewmen with the 1st Armored Division, I can appreciate this movie. It captures the experience of being a tank crewman better than any movie I've seen. The dirt, grime, and grease gets on everything, your clothing really suffers. The fire commands fron the TC haven't changed much since WW2. The interaction of the crewmen to each other is the same. I've had great crews and bad ones. When you have a good crew, you can say "Its the best job I've ever had." - C Company 1st Battalion 35th Armor, 1st Armored Division, 3rd Platoon, Erlangen Germany 1975-78 1st Infantry Division, C Company, 4th Battalion, 63rd Armor, 1st Platoon, 1978-79
My favorite scene of any war movie: "It's called WAR!! You feel it?!?" In short order, we experience Norman's desperation to save Emma, his rage against Travis for stopping him, his sorrow as his own helplessness sets in, and then we cut to TOTAL APATHY a moment later. The whiplash of it is emotionally _numbing._ What a powerful way to make the audience _feel_ the exhaustion & weariness of war.
The Fury tank is a real ww2 Sherman tank, loaned by Bovington Tank Museum in the UK. It is on display there and is regularly driven in displays. The German Tiger tank in the film is also the only operational one in the world, also at Bovington and is brought out and driven yearly on their Tiger day
the shot of shia at 27:17 always gets me. I think he's crying because he doesn't really want to kill the troop approaching but knows it's kill or be killed
A long time friend of mine is a former “tanker”. He recently commented that this was THE most realistic movie he has ever seen, especially from a tank warfare perspective.
@@BewareTheNoid it is extremely historically accurate. The allied armor prevailed because of a numerical superiority. The German tanks had better engineering, armor and more fire power. It was a fight of attrition. The allies would lose an average of 5 tanks to their 1. The Americans had the capability to retrieve damaged tanks and put them back into circulation after they removed the dead and made repairs. Children were hung for being afraid to fight. And the waffen SS did have children soldiers raised in the ideology of the Nazi party through the Hitler youth organization.
I think the biggest gut punch in this whole movie is the end: "Youre a hero kid, did you know that?". This is definitely one of the heaviest war movies out there.
We have the basic human right of self defense. But privileged entitled people people who never shed a drop of blood need to shut the hell up. You weren't there and you don't know war is hell
This movie takes u through the feelings of Norman. Sheer innocence, to, kill all Nazis, to bravery but being scared and accepting death. The guy u hated most, was the guy who was the most brutally honest, with Norman. They were not going back home apart, to live a life. "Best job I ever had", was them saying to each other, I love u guys.
Don "Wardaddy" Collier (1916- April 25, 1945) is one of the main protagonists that appear in the movie Fury. (He is portrayed by Brad Pitt; There is also a song of the same name on the soundtrack.) Wardaddy has severe third-degree burn scars all up and down his back. The script and some deleted scenes explain Wardaddy's burns. After Norman asks if the Germans did it, and it turns out that it wasn't from combat. Earlier in the script, he talks occasionally about how drinking doesn't solve anything. Later, Wardaddy explains he once was an alcoholic and drove drunk with his girlfriend and brother. He got into a wreck, killing them both. His back was then burned badly when the car lit on fire, and it burned until help arrived. The whole county hated him for it. Wardaddy was then given the choice of jail or serving in the military and dying for his country. Wardaddy claims it's the best advice he ever got. Collier may be an English name, but Collier is a second-generation German; He reveals in the script that his mother was born in Germany, in a town they saw burned to the ground by the SS, which explains in part his hatred for the SS.
No he didn't. Michael Pena is only driving when you can see his head out of the hatch. Otherwise it was one of the mechanics from bovington tank museum
I found it prophetic that when Norman read Emmas palm lines that he told her that she would meet the "Love of her life" because she did. They both did.
That scene broke me. Idk if it has hit me as hard as it did watching this reaction. Realizing how crazy & traumatized you have to be to say "best job" as a joke and laugh lol but god damn heartbreaking too
It is important for young people to see movies like this. This is what your fathers and grandfathers had to go through to save the world. Mostly, they wanted for you to not have to go through anything like they did. There's a reason they're called the Greatest Generation.
The deleted scenes for this movie give so much more context Into the characters and back stories, and one of the scenes is arguably the best acting Jon Bernthal's ever done. He progresses through a PTSD attack like he's actually having one. It's a super heavy scene
Aside from the cartoonish final sequence against the SS battalion, the thing I liked least about the movie was the way they gave the crew such a surly, menacing, insubordinate air so much of the time. I guess it wasn't unheard of, but it smacked very much of imposing modern cultural sensitivities on a time they didn't belong. More character development might have helped.
@@GK-yi4xv What in God's name are you talking about? Have you no sense of the cultural differences in a military during time of war using conscripted troops? Seems more like you bought into the romanticized version of the Western front, and don't like seeing the reality.
@@michaelccozens Nah. It's 21st century Hollywood-America, not 1940s America, none of it in a good way. The whole vibe was 'you're not our boss unless we feel like it' As I said, it probably happened, rarely, but not an entire crew. It has less to do with conscription (there was no great resentment against conscription in that war, unlike Vietnam), and more to do with the qualities of the culture and population conscripted from. (People did actually kill themselves when they were medically rejected from serving in that war) Is the interpersonal dynamic in Band of Brothers, say, a 'romanticized fiction'? (based heavily on the testimonies of the actual people who were in all those situations together) Part of the problem is Hollywood's ridiculous penchant for casting actors who are not just years, but decades older than the soldiers they're supposed to be portraying. Brad Pitt was a 50 year old Sherman tank commander! Bernthal and Pena were 37 yrs old. The oldest tank crew in recorded history! (it would have been more realistic if they had cast their sons). It matters to the way characters interact with each other on screen, but what are you going to do - 'that's Hollywood'
Make them pay in blood for every inch they advance. Fight till your gun is empty, then pull your knife and fight till the blade breaks. Then you go down biting, punching and kicking.
My favorite tank movie, The Beast, aka The Beast of War. "Well, sir, the roadwheel's cracked. Kaminski drank our brakes. We're low on petrol. The battery's low. We're losing oil. If the engine heats up it's gonna seize. The terrain, obviously against us. We have no rations. The Mujas behind us don't seem to run on rations, petrol, or anything we know of. And they have an RPG. Their aim is getting better. Sir."
You shouldn't feel guilty about this. You should live well. You should care about your country and care about people. That's how you honor the men and women who went through this. People say, "Thank you for your service," but that isn't enough. Doing these videos where you expose yourself to this tragedy is extremely important. I'm glad this video exists. Your reaction means you understand the weight of this. It isn't easy, and that's the point.
War.........My father was a combat veteran of the Vietnam War. I was with him at "The Wall" one day and he said " You know, any politician that wants to send our boys off to fight needs to come here and look at this for awhile". "It should be mandatory before any decisions are made" RIP dad, you taught me everything I needed to know to live.........and die. Great movie reaction btw..subbed.
Honestly, you and Carly are a dynamic duo, and I rewatch your videos constantly. There’s something so alluring about your wholesomeness for people like me who would be considered “jaded”
I knew nothing of this film going in but was both shocked and amazed at how well it captured the stark brutality of close quarters combat where everything said and done is uncomfortably close up and personal. Excellent depiction of the intense emotions that this kind of trauma produces. Super fine acting across the board.
The dynamic in this movie is different from a lot of what you've seen because it's a newbie joining a "seasoned" crew that has been thru everything together. In combat, your life is in the hands of the guy watching your back. He's incredibly indecisive, which puts everyone around him in a danger (because you've got to react so quickly). Remember Upham from 'Saving Private Ryan'? Remember how Mellish was stabbed thru the heart because Upham froze and wouldn't go up the stairs to help? That's what's happening here.
@@madnessing2774 I hated the whole "lets charge the MG42 in a frontal assault" scene. Absolute BS when they have a sniper in Jackson, who could have eliminated the entire German machinegun team from a distance without giving away his position.
@Madnessing27 You have to remember that Upham was not a combat soldier. He was a typist who was never meant to see combat. He was dragged into something that he barely trained for (he hadn't held a gun since basic training). I used to hate him too till I remembered that he wasn't really a soldier.
@@NiclasLoof Wardaddy is justified, he has limited time to get Norman up to speed. Norman even at this point after seeing the dead in the camp, washing up body parts, and seeing fellow tankers burned alive still refuses to shoot!! Norman is going to get them all killed cuz he cant even justified fighting for his own survival!!
Great reaction, it was even more thrilling to see than when I watched "Fury" the first time, good comments and I love your compassion - you really understand how horrible war is.
The actor at 8:38, that you asked about, is British actor, Jason Isaacs. He played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, and the evil British soldier in The Patriot. Great actor.
And I suppose your country is utterly blameless? I’m joking of course; no country is. Actually it’s kind of weird that someone with a Polish name has such a hatred for the USA, of all places. If memory serves, Churchill called Poland “a country on wheels,” referring to its ever changing borders caused by constant invasions by other countries. The USA wasn’t one of those invading countries. By the way, Native people aren’t “kept on reservations” anymore. That is, they have reservations, but can leave them.
I searched “Fury” and found your channel. My grandfather, SSgt Frank Combs, was a tank commander in WW2 and lost a leg due to sniper fire. When I watched the film I cried, knowing that my PawPaw lived through the horrors of war to come home, marry and have a family. His happy ending is today my blessing, with 4 children of my own. Thank you for sharing your reactions.
I am happy this is the movie you guys chose to watch together. I think this type of movies merits 2 people watching together.....It makes reactions more valuable when you guys are discussing heavy scenes.
Stallone had just 1 million bucks for Rocky 1, the figurants are friends and the friends of his friends, his father was the guys who hit the bell. Lol yep he did a pretty good job, no one believed this film would work.
I have to say after having been to war, seeing both of your reactions, shows me a part of compassion I never saw in the moment. Brings tears to my eyes seeing y’all cry over a movie. You guys show a part of humanity that is lost in war. One word I would have to say that sums it up is “numb” while you are in the moment. Guns are not the worst, people are the worst.
"What For" means "white phosphorus munitions"-White phosphorus munitions are weapons that use one of the common allotropes of the chemical element phosphorus. White phosphorus is used in smoke, illumination, and incendiary munitions, and is commonly the burning element of tracer ammunition.
Initially just used for markers for artillery battalions. Seeing their propensity to burn horrifically in a large area, they began being used offensively, especially into confined spaces.
White phosphorus was used to make matches in the 1800's. It had terrible effects for the factory workers (women mostly) and it would dissolve bones slowly, particularly their jaws,, disfiguring them. Matches switched to RED phosphorus, and after the changeover, they were called "safety matches."
When a tank hits (shoots) another tank, it does what is called:- "Cook-Off" as the internal ammunition start to burn / ignite / detonate. Basically, the inside of the tank becomes a 500 - 800 degree celsius (930 - 1450 degree Fahrenheit) oven / blow-torch combination - roasting anything and everyone inside (or what's left of them).
Didn't help that Shermans were called "Tommy Cookers" for a reason. Most Shermans ran on gasoline, not diesel, which had a lower flash point and burned much easier/hotter. Also, Shermans had a 5-man crew and only 4 hatches. The US crewmembers called them 5-man coffins. My dad was trained as a gunner on one during the Korean escapade and luckily, once he got in-country, someone figured out he could type and he was reassigned as a company clerk instead (opposite Norman, actually didn't think of that until now...). Finally, there was no separate storage for the shells like in modern tanks that allows for a cook-off that vents the explosions/flame away from the crew. One thing they didn't say in the movie is that Shermans were not meant to be anti-armor but close-in troop support (rolling pillbox basically). Not until they up-armored with the 76MM cannon on the Firefly (ironically the kind of tank Fury was) did they have even a remote chance against advanced German armor.
@@genghisgalahad8465 Yes, but WW2 tanks were generally not like todays modern tanks. The ammunition was generally stored "loosely" inside the turrets in racks, open / exposed racks. So it wouldn't take to much to start setting it off. One shell penetration was likely to start the cook-off. In todays better modern tanks the ammunition is stored in sealed blast compartments in a sealed ammo-bin. If the ammo does start to cook, the ammo-bin has blast doors to allow the heat and blast to be directed outwards to prevent the crew compartment from being roasted. However, more modern Russian tanks have the ammo stored in a concentric ring pattern under the ring of the turret due to the use of an auto-loader (ie. the loader is replaced by a machine). This makes them more prone to cook-off.
@@tiger4361 cooking is a time-sensitive or time-extended process. Impacts on tanks don’t usually take that long a process, do they? That label is kind of a misnomer. I do know the term for “cooking” a grenade and that’s easily understood. I think what you’re explaining is simply an understandable chain reaction that’s pretty quick. Cooking takes time. I think the chain reaction at the time “takes no time”. So why call it “cook-off” unless that’s just made up for CZcams comments.
Fury is such a great movie. The love between these battle brothers when they're sitting in the tank waiting for the battalion to arrive is fantastic! Hits me every time I watch it.
its the one good thing in the movie the rest is like shit...i mean 2 PAKs and they hit nothing or bounce?...or the scene with the tiger acting line operated by 12 year olds? they should go through the shermans like a hot knife through butter at that distance...and they litterly shooting with laser guns like ok it looks cool for short time but its annoying it looks like starwars
@@eli34536 to be fair about the Tiger scene an Easy Eight's 76mm gun COULD pen a Tiger frontally, especially at ranges shown, so the shots bouncing off like tennis balls are equally ridiculous (I suspect they were implying it was a King Tiger, but could not get their hands on an operational one)
I would recommend 13 Hours, an eventthat happened 11 years ago. Good conflict of politicians, suits, and operators; and how they look at the same problems VERY differently.
When Brad Pitt says "I'm scared too" near the end of this movie it breaks my masculinity into pieces. One of the best line deliveries in the movie despite it being such a short, simple line of dialogue.
i feel this movie is more realistic then a lot of war films..its not pretty cause war ain't...it does not sugarcoat it....thankfully...the emotions feel earned and real...
@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 this is a representation of why the world needs toxic masculinity. Like duality of war we are equal parts men and monsters.
Not the most "historically accurate" film, characters have no real basis on real life figures, but, as folks have mentioned, the actual Tank is linked to a real vehicle in a museum which saw WW2 service.
Not exactly correct. This is from Wikipedia but I’ve read this elsewhere too: While the storyline is fictional, the depiction of Fury and its commander Wardaddy parallels the experience of several real Allied tankers, such as the American tank commander Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. "War Daddy" Pool, who landed just after D-Day and destroyed 258 enemy vehicles before his tank was knocked out in Germany in late 1944, and the small number of Sherman tanks to survive from the landing at D-Day to the end of the war, such as Bomb, a Sherman tank that landed at D-Day and survived into the bitter fighting in Germany at the war's end, one of two Canadian Sherman tanks to survive the fighting from D-Day to VE Day.
The standoff bit towards the end to me was so stupid. Made the Germans look completely oblivious and useless. But it's a movie...expect crap like plot armor.
@@brucefale6132 Maybe a couple, Das Boot is the one I'd table as the classic. But agreed, and to be fair it doesn't promote itself as historically precise. It get's the hopeless atmosphere down very well.
@@jakester455 Again I agree, the film depicts the savage desperate, exhausting nature of armoured warfare, while not stating it is based off...... But clearly it draws strong inspiration from.
In the deleted scene he tells Norman that he got drunk and got in a car accident and killed his girlfriend and brother. The judge told him to go to war or go to jail. He had nothing else to live for that’s why he wanted to make sure every mission was complete
Best war film ever made. From war tactics to ptsd, brotherhood and sacrifice. From production, film to actors in my humble opinion it’s golden cinematic art
0:31--"Have you seen any war movies?" (Cassie) "Does Pearl Harbor count?" (Carly) "These people will say no" (Cassie) Very funny girls....and no Carly, Pearl Harbor doesn't count.
My grandpa was one of 12 boys from a large farm family, he was one of 10 who served in World War II. Even though them and their brothers all understood German as their dad used to read the Lutheran Bible in High German on The Front Porch on The Family farm. A little known fun fact, in 1930 one in four persons on the streets of any American City was a German speaker from Germany, Switzerland,Austria ,or, Czechoslovakia.The character Brad Pitt was playing being somebody who is bilingual was more common than one would think in today's world.
A symbolic part of this movie alot of people miss is the white horse, The movie starts with a white horse and then Norman wakes up at the end of all the chaos by the/a white horse galloping by. Great reaction you both, I am Scottish and my great grandfather was in the British military and fought in Dunkirk, The stories i heard of him describing was crazy, Sometimes he would just stare into space lost in his memories of the war. The pain and how lost they are in their thoughts is very upsetting. 😔 Those men went through the unimaginable just so we could be here today and the memory of what they were fighting for should ALWAYS be shown with the upmost respect and should NEVER be forgotten. Anyway ladies you have earned a subscriber for the terrific reaction!!!! Have a wonderful day 👍🏻
It’s good to see you young ladies witnessing history of WWII. As Brad said, ideals are peaceful but history is violent. My dads oldest brother was killed in Germany in late April 1945 after surviving the Normandy invasion depicted in Saving Private Ryan. The war ended in early May in Europe and my uncle only had to survive a few more weeks and would have went home. Can you imagine surviving the carnage at Normandy and making it through all the fighting another 8 months and losing your life two weeks before the German surrender. My dad was the youngest of 12 kids and his brother that was killed was the oldest. My dad was only 4 when it happened so his memory of his brother are very little. Sad he never got to know him. His other older brother did survive the war thankfully and they were close until his brother passed. Dad is the last living member of his family. Dad served as a Navy Corpsman ( medic) from 1959-1963. He was discharged shortly after my birth and was not summoned to serve in Vietnam, Navy Corpsmen are the medics for the Marines. He most definitely would have been in the thick of the fighting.
God bless those members of your family who sacrificed so much for all of us. Tell your dad "thank you" for me - navy Corpsmen are the best of the best' Semper Fi from a Marine who owes his life to navy Corpsmen.
Ive seen some react to video channels before but you honestly take a huge amount of time to edit your videos. taking the time to do seperate face cams and combined when talking with each other along with muffling the movie when focused on your reactions and showing a good portion of the movie along with it. That is really awesome and I appreciate that!
I went into East Berlin before the wall came down...in 1987 through Checkpoint Charley. Russians were in control and we where being watched and monitored ( I was a young college student). Once through the gate, we walked around and saw the buildings pock marked from WWII. I was flabbergasted as each bullet and shrapnel mark represented a potential death. My short time studying in Germany (2 months) and in East Berlin (2 days) has forever impacted me and my political view of the world. My God's grace bless the souls lost in WWI and WWII...and all wars.
"We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson. Based on true facts. It's of the first major encounter of US troops against the Vietnamese in 1965. It has a very interesting layer & story-line of the families back in the states at the same time.
@@mattyice2099 Some parts of We were soldiers is definitely a great heaping pile of over the top American flag waving patriotism, but the actual combat parts are very well done, and I thought them quite realistic.
Btw, I really enjoyed History Buff’s review of We were soldiers, you can check it out here czcams.com/video/6ABJVrRfr2Q/video.html I thought he pretty much nailed it.
The reason of them giving Norman a hard time is because the crew have been together for many years and bonded. Out of nowhere was Norman sent to them while they lost one in the crew. And Don is getting closer to Norman because Norman reminds Don of his little brother which died because of him. Its actually explained better in a deleted scene, they should've have kept that scene in the movie.
😄😃 good journey from Saving Private Ryan to Band of Brothers to The Pacific and beyond... hopefully The Great Raid, Enemy at the Gates, Midway, and Flags of our Fathers/Letters from Iwo Jima...
@@genghisgalahad8465 I saw the new one and I liked that they showed off some individual people like Gaido and Lindsey and their fate. It's a pretty good movie, but old Midway is more about the tactics of the 2 fleets and their commanders
i went to military and the first thing that they take away from you in training is the thing they call "CIVILIAN MENTALITY" ... you need to become a soldier not just physically but also mentally and emotionally, its gonna be hard of course but as a soldier you need to toughen up! bc if you fail in any way, it means your death or your team's death ...
Referencing the “seeing these kids at 16 what they’ve had to see and go through”, Best thing I’ve read is: “this is life. What we know in America is an anomaly.. it’s not the rule, it’s the exception.” That’s not to make anyone feel guilty but it is meant to not take it for granted like all these people protesting in college campuses right now
The dinner scene: IMHO, the underlying tension is the idea that this crew who has fought together for 2+ years by this point is angry that their tank commander (Wardaddy-Brad Pitt's character) is spending time away from THEM and with the new guy who so far has been a gigantic disappointment. They feel disrespected by that and show it towards Don (Wardaddy) with everything they were doing and saying. Probably didn't help they were drunk and one of their crew mates (the one Norman replaced) had recently died.
I respectfully disagree. I think its quiet obvious that David Ayer depicted the unmeasurable amount of animosity and plain hate from the Allies towards the German Nazis, Wehrmacht and the civilian population during WWII. Travis, Gordo and Bible intentionally described the unfathomable scenarios of death and gore they had to experience during their time in Europe to make a point. They were disgusted and aggravated that Wardaddy “played house” and engaged with the German population, with the enemy. Seeing your brothers in arms die and be massacred changes people. Its not justified but I understand why every country involved in WW2 had a civilian kill count. While the Axis had to be stopped the civilians on all sides including the Axis like Germany and Japan suffered tremendous casualties and were victims of mass scale war crimes. The Allies also raped and mass executed hundred thousands of German civilians specifically the Russians but including the US soldiers. They were all full of hate because of the unbelievable atrocities like the holocaust, losing their brothers in war and family members to the Nazis or Wehrmacht soldiers and being so hardened and stripped off humanity after years in war. This scene was a very dark yet accurate depiction what war does to human beings. But what you said could also be played into it. I personally believe this scene presented the hate towards all Germans in general. It cant be helped and doesnt mean the US soldiers were animals. This applies to most Ally and Axis soldier who got completely dissentisized and only pictured the enemy as a ruthless, spawn from hell that had to be taken down no mattee the cost. Sorry for the long text but just sharing my opinion and add sth to yours.
@@lightup6751I agree with both you and the original post. But I remember Brad Pitt didn't hate all Germans: he shot the SS guy that hung German kids, and he didn't shoot the fleeing crowd of civilians on the road, or the pretty girl with the bicycle. But he was fine with shooting the kids that took out the US tank in the beginning. And he wanted his eggs cooked by a nice girl.
My grandather dropped out of high-school to serve in WWII at 17 years old because all 4 of his older brothers went. He stormed the beaches on the second day of Normandy and was in several major battles. He operated what I believe was a 1917A1 tripod (machine gun). He only had one kill that haunted him the rest of his life. He had to eliminate a young German teen around the same age as himself because he was approaching the unit with a rifle during an engagement and posing a threat. He knew he had to do it, but killing someone so young as himself scarred him for life. He returned home at 21 yrs old, met my grandmother, and they were married a year later. He spent much of the first year of their marriage in Texas in rehab for PTSD from the war. He NEVER talked about the war throughout his life, until just months before he died suddenly. I'll never forget the "1,000 mile" stare in his glazed eyes as he recounted to me that story and a few others from the war. It was the first time he had uttered a word about the war in 60 years. He passed away in 2009 at the age 85 and was honored with a beautiful military veteran burial ceremony. I'm honored to have been the grandson of a man who served so bravely. 🇺🇸 🫡 🪖
Brad Pitt has done a number of WWII movies. There's "Inglourious Basterds" (2009) from Quentin Tarantino. And "Allied" (2016) which is a real tear-jerker. For WWI, there's "Legends of the Fall." And for the Trojan War, there's... "Troy."
This is a great movie. I enjoyed watching this, hearing the very human responses of these two sisters. I'm glad they chose to share it with an audience. 👍
As a WWII history buff, when needed, I still have to look up things on the Sherman tank because there are so many variants of it. Keep up the great work.
@ No it's an E8 like he said, the Firefly was a British/Commonwealth version the Americans didn't use it. I actually went and say a tank mocked up as Fury, next to the Tiger tank used in this film at the Bovington Tank Museum a couple years ago
One of the best movies I ever watched. The 7th Cavalry has such a haunted history. I think every unit to ever carry that banner was wiped out. All the way back to the days of Custer.
@@chadthomas7287 It can definitely be allot to watch, the action is nonstop once the 7th lands in the valley and the acting can be a little corny at times but I think. along with Platoon and Hamburger Hill, it's one of the most realistic depictions of the Vietnam War. But that's just my opinion of course, not trying to start any arguments
-My Uncle Gene lost two Sherman crews, only survivor twice, heavy combat. Seriously wounded but was back in the fight for the end. Went home, married the love of his life, retired from a corporation to his dream job, a business on a lake, one his his sons became a minister, I think the other was in business. Traveled, and lived a full life, and carried shrapnel they couldn't remove to his grave. He and many like him can be your Norman. They had good lives if they survived.
Such an underrated movie, which I can somewhat see why, but an incredibly well directed film with one of the best ensemble cast performances I’ve seen.
I remember watching this in theaters when it came out. The energy from the audience during the stand at the end was unreal! One of my favorite moviegoing experiences!
I retired after 26+ years in the Army. Deployments in 3 different decades. One was uneventful. The other two, not so much. Her comment about everything being "drab and gray" brought back some bad memories that indeed happened on dreary weather. Though nothing can truly portray real events, it is nice that these 2 young ladies are truly touched by the plight of our troops, civilians, and even the German troops. I understand that, but I know I will never, ever, feel sympathy for a certain group of enemy combatants who will remain nameless but can be recognized as the animals who wipe their asses with their left hand and are portrayed by our own idiots as "peaceful" people. Anyway...these 2 kids are sweet.
Welcome, to one of the most intense and brutal war films ever created. Saving private Ryan was the film of the 90s, well Fury is truly the one of the 21st-century’s 2010s. It’s horrible, but the realities of war and that are true, and it’s definitely a necessary viewing for all of us, whether we like it or not. It is truly that powerful, and it is so great that you decided to watch it in the end.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Make your own fukin movie then. Imagine an American Industry making an American war movie for Americans. You can watch it but sit in the back row and shut up.
As a veteran who has been dealing with emotion numbness I need to thank you. Something about your reactions actually helps me, it makes me cry and hey... It's something. Restrepo, Korengal, and Lone Survivor will tug at your heart strings.
I have the same thing with reaction videos. Also experiencing emotional numbness due to mental/ emotional abuse by several narcissists & sociopaths of who i wasn't aware they were suffering such disorders. Normally i'm rather empathic, sensitive but years of recovery took their toll. It's harder to feel. When watching their reactions i can feel again like i used to. Also makes me cry. Pent up grief i guess.
A movie about good men who saw horrible things about war and changed their souls forever. Even the mechanic played by the AWESOME Jon Berthal was a good man who lost his mind due to the war but somewhere there were still some humanity in him. My all time favorite war movie till now. Great reactions girls! haha
Fascinating how Cassie has already been hardened through her previous experiences watching WW2 flicks like Saving Pvt Ryan, Band of Brothers, and The Pacific... Like at 2:56 when she started to try to explain to her sister "you should have seen...." and then realized it was just something she'd have to experience watching on her own. Just a bit similar to how veterans and people who actually lived through war and battles can't truly explain to civilians watching movies and reading books about the horrors of war without one experiencing it
She's becoming a hardened battle-axe, like the rest of us. Yet, she still couldn't take several of the scenes. So she still has some tenderness in her sweet oversized heart. I won't condemn her as yet.
14:46 "Do you think that war just strips their humanity?" To a degree, it absolutely does. But that's what's necessary to keep people safe. Some people aren't ready to let that kind of darkness in, but when it's kill or be killed for so long, you learn to see them as targets instead of people. It's a type of dissociation that makes it possible to survive when anything else would get you and all your brothers killed. You have to go pitch black, otherwise you'll never make it home.
Read a series of books by "Sven Hassel " , follows a group of penal tank soldiers thru ww2, sent into the worst places and expected to die. They too have trouble interacting with civilians after a while. And seeing anything beyond ones unit as people
I appreciate how you guys were vulnerable and didn’t start talking during the heavy parts to make it easier but less emotional. It’s somehow cathartic to see other people see things I have seen. You know war creates this darkness in you, and the only way to survive is to become it. Both psychologically but also literally. And it’s the purest form of maturity, I believe, to have to face death, thus become fully aware of it, and therefore fully aware of the value of life and how real everything is, because far from danger people sometimes forget how real everything is, living their ordinary lives, and then you, as a soldier, have to accept all these things, incredibly hard to swallow things, and energetically put yourself into dangerous situations, over and over again. Like you have to be okay to die, you put something else, something bigger above yourself, people are willing to give their lives, so that their friends can make it home, and I think that only people who fight for the right thing are capable of that, to jump on a grenade for your friends. If you guys want a more hearty movie, I recommend intouchables. But not the kevin hart version. That’s literally a knock off. Watch the original, the french one.
The thing that most people don't think about is that Vietnam was when 13 month Tours were started. Every war before then you fought until it was over. My grandfather was in the European theater for 4 years. No trips home. You fought until we won.
Part of why I enjoy watching you so much is because your reactions are REAL. You don't stage reactions or over-react and both of your hearts are so kind. I'd imagine you live your lives with your hearts on your sleeves. War is ugly, it's terrifying, horribly sad, and filled with pain. Your sister's jump scares and covering of the face is real and I think in this day and age of reaction videos and CZcams personalities, yours seems the most....human. We are so very lucky we didn't grow up around this War where friends and families went off to die.
This movie has always reminded me of Fortress (2012). It starts out as the pilot of a bomber is killed and the co-pilot is promoted to pilot and commander of the bomber. The next scene is the pilot meeting the new co-pilot assigned while shaving. The rest of the movie is kinda like Fury, flying missions, camaradery between the crew and the acceptances of the new co-pilot. The climax of the film involves the plane being heavily damaged, the pilot killed and many others killed. The survivors parachute out, including the co-pilot. The final scene is of the co-pilot, freshing appointed pilot and commander of a new bomber, greeting a new bright eyed, bushy tailed co-pilot while shaving.
Nonsense. Destroying empathy cripples a soldier and their ability to prosecute a war effectively. Forget your enemy is human and they will find a way to remind you, unpleasantly. If cruelty were the answer you think it is, a lot of our problems would already be solved. They aren't.
@@michaelccozens the point of war is to kill your enemy as quickly and efficiently as possible, sometimes trying to gain ground on a front and others just find the enemy and kill them. The easiest way to do that is see your enemy as targets, not human beings.
@@chancyhales5684 The US military measured their progress in the Vietnam War largely on how many people they killed, it certainly didn't win the war. Also made an awful mess of several countries.
its easy when its world war 2 and germans...when the americans saw the truth which was kept from them for a few years they let the germans have it finally
The house scene is pretty heart breaking, you've at the start Brad Pitts character is just wanting some quiet pretend time, even sharing it with the Norman as he's still not been shaped by war, then the others come in and start being very aggressive and disruptive. I take this as they've been away from home for so long fighting the war they've felt the need to be monsters in order to survive, even when they're not directing fighting, the moment they relax they've probably come to know how much harder it is to carry on after so they have to keep heartless and numb to everyone and everything.
Not at all. It's their way of dealing with the stress of combat. Even in modern times you find those types of service personnel. I've served with a few.
The biggest irony is that we feel so much pain just by seeing these movies for a couple of hours. We can't even imagine the pain that people at those times went through as the war went on for so many years.
Shia's acting in this movie is one of my favorite performances from him.
Shia is pretty underrated in general and gets a bad rap for taking the paychecks early on for example with Transformers. he's one of these guys that shows up to do the job and then people judge him on the job he was supposed to do and did correctly, when it was the director that wanted those takes and he delivered them. i can't even fault his politics and his artsy cringe and bad life choices. he's out there living and doing and taking risks.
@@stegwise This. Dude takes some questionable roles but there is no doubt the man can act. Also that music video he did with Sia - he's very very talented and he's doing things his way. Cringe or not more people should be like that.
Jon too, the deleted scenes develop the characters so much, Shias performance on the night of their deaths was surreal, when Pitt quotes scripture the cry-laugh Shia does, amazing...
Just DO IT!!!
I liked him in peanut butter falcon.
The best line in the entire movie; "Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."
Absolute truth in those words.
Yep, I remember some lecturer in high-school saying the old line of "Violence never solved anything." I've always enjoyed history and I'm like wtf, history has been shaped by wars and conflicts between nations, it's an ugly truth, but still the truth. Everything from our technology to our culture to our language has been affected by one nation invading another and changing the status quo.
God damm right
80% of human history is war. Peace is a ( good) anomaly
Ideals often lead to violence.
@@7Rendar you know i dont post anywhere trying to be smart, i learnt it. Its tragic. And the last 70 years without wars in Europe ((exept balkans) is a wonder. We should celebrating it and engrave it in our minds as the normality. ;)
I laughed out loud when you said "I am not feeling much camaraderie here," during the opening scenes. In the military, that is exactly what camaraderie sounds like tbh
“You think Hitler would f**k us for a chocolate bar 🍫” 😂😂 had me laughing
You said it, that's exactly what camaraderie sounds like. That's the only way you can keep your sanity when you're in a combat situation.
💯
Brotherhood
"We're going to skin you alive!"
"Shut up and bring me more pigs to kill"
By far one of the better exchanges of the entire movie. Just made me laugh for some reason.
Lmao me too. It's the German language, it sounds so funny.
the very end scene panning up from the tank and seeing all the dead nazis around the tank, I consider one of the greatest scenes of all time.
Me too lol
It’s Sounds even better in German 🇩🇪haha 😂
@@america1st721 Indeed. It's like you just can't imagine how the fuck this was only a very tiny and small portion and there were so many more and far bigger battles fought during those years.
I think it's pretty important to take notice that, in the final scene, a German soldier deciding not to alert the others when discovering Norman. In that moment when staring at one another, there seems to be a mutual understanding. Their fatigue & disgust for senseless killing was so apparent. It's a brief reminder that the "enemy" are human too, & the select few in charge does not represent all...
This is why I love this movie, it not showing that Americans is always a hero but as the same time showing that Germans is not a monster either, just a true perspective of the wars on both side
@@folk20310 i think the war movie thats ive seen so far thats neutral in both side has to be Midway
this is just bad writing, that guy was not just a soldier, he was SS
The thing is that Norman would have killed that SS soldier without mercy if he would have crossed his sights, and the fact that he didn't kill Norman after that massacre denotes that he was a weak soldier in my opinion because he did not understand that war is kill or be killed as an American soldier would certainly not show mercy to him as he did to Norman.
You literally could not have worded that any better. Well said
That guy that showed him mercy in the end was most likely the same age. Just a kid thrown into hell who didn't even wanna be there. I'm sure that happened a few times.
That bit, while nice, seemed ridiculous. The German was SS and a fallschirmjager (paratrooper); both of those organizations were volunteer. Unlikely such a soldier would have any mercy on an enemy.
@@michaelccozens Nope. You wanted to be a Policeman or a Firefighter you were forced into the SS. French, Polish and so on were forced to the SS. Not everyone was a Volunteer. Dont mistaken The SS, the Waffen-SS and Totenkopf (Skull) SS with one another.
German, French, Dutch, Ukrainian and so on SS members were largely volunteers. However in some parts like Belarus - they were less willing, and from Germany after 1943 many were no longer volunteers, they took the scrapings of the least capable soldiers to do the suicidal work, or the bravest work in many cases. These SS after 1943 (from Germany largely) tended to be spared any prosecution for war crimes as they weren’t the same group as the thugs that joined originally. Even the foreign SS volunteers were often just extremely against Communism. The thugs tended to be the original brownshirts mostly.
@@mikeno8192 not to mention this late in the war Germany with scrambling together as many troops as they could they were fighting a losing battle and at this point Germany was willing to throw kids into the fray so it’s not a stretch that they would force a couple of people to join the SS especially if the ss needed troops which they definitely did.
Every man in a war is just thrown in and following orders. They choose the young and gullible for they can be easily manipulated and radicalized.
the pain and honesty in "im just drunk im sorry," AFTER sharing his trauma, just stunning. the brokeness, the FURY, is the most human response to real life hell.
to be honest that line cracked me up the first time I heard it lol
They told the horse story at the dinner because they were mad that he had Norman there and not them. They were left out of a nice situation and the scene shows how much of their own humanity they've lost from the horrible things they had to do. They did what they were told to do but it took a toll on each of them in their own way.
Truth
I don’t think they were just shooting horses
The egg scene was basically him gifting her eggs. At that time in Germany, eggs were a luxury food item, and were incredibly rare. It was basically like giving her gold and diamonds.
Gold and diamonds that they then ate.
Eggs were one of the more common thing you could get in Germany at the time. Since it was a local farm product. The food items that were very hard to get was chocolate, coffee and other imported goods.
@@mikkel066h still, I don’t doubt that eggs might have been short in any given reason
Yea... no.
@@mikkel066h I think it was more of the symbolic gesture of him offering her food which is something tied to comradery and mutualism that spans time. The act of breaking bread with someone is an important social construct. Offering food is a gesture of sharing and a willingness to make yourself vulnerable by eating with strangers. He's also showing that he's willing to offer up something of value in exchange for the older woman to prepare it. No other strings were attached.
I am a former tanker with the US Army and fought in Iraq with the US 1st Armored Division in an M1-A1 tank. I went to see this movie alone and only made it through because so many fellow tankers showed up. I knew none of them and we all served in different eras and units. I was the only combat veteran there. I was able to watch this and stay here because I knew they were there and would understand any reaction i had without question. There is a brotherhood there you cant understand, and even though we were strangers, we knew the suffering and toil our job demanded. This movie, while full of some inaccuracies, shows just how dehumanizing war is, and how 30 years on after my war, I still struggle with what was lost and sacrificed so long ago. My favorite line about war comes from Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, about his experience in the US Civil War. He said "In our youth, our hearts were touched with fire". Once you understand that, you have small window into what we fell.
I loved the part when the B-17 formation was flying above them, "aye give them hell." My grandpa was probably up there. He was a B-17 pilot in 44-45. "The Honey Pie" was the name of his bomber. He was only 18 too, and also went on to teach in the Korean War.
And we thank you for your service because Veterans needs the most respect, since they risked their lives for their country.

As a former tank commander M60A1 with the 1st Infantry Division and a tank crewmen with the 1st Armored Division, I can appreciate this movie. It captures the experience of being a tank crewman better than any movie I've seen. The dirt, grime, and grease gets on everything, your clothing really suffers.
The fire commands fron the TC haven't changed much since WW2. The interaction of the crewmen to each other is the same. I've had great crews and bad ones. When you have a good crew, you can say "Its the best job I've ever had."

@@michaelcurl9817 Yea. I remember.
My favorite scene of any war movie: "It's called WAR!! You feel it?!?"
In short order, we experience Norman's desperation to save Emma, his rage against Travis for stopping him, his sorrow as his own helplessness sets in, and then we cut to TOTAL APATHY a moment later. The whiplash of it is emotionally _numbing._ What a powerful way to make the audience _feel_ the exhaustion & weariness of war.
The Fury tank is a real ww2 Sherman tank, loaned by Bovington Tank Museum in the UK. It is on display there and is regularly driven in displays. The German Tiger tank in the film is also the only operational one in the world, also at Bovington and is brought out and driven yearly on their Tiger day
First and so far only movie with a real Tiger I in it!
I commented and scrolled down and i knew someone beat me to it.

Yeah the Tiger was no joke.

The movie gets a lot of flak. But people miss the most important aspect. It is all about the closeness of a tank crew. The best job I ever had.
A long time friend of mine is a former “tanker”. He recently commented that this was THE most realistic movie he has ever seen, especially from a tank warfare perspective.
@@georgelynch9602 i agree that it shows how the internals of a tank crew works is realistic but the historical accuracy leaves much to be desired.
@@BewareTheNoid I’m sure that you’re correct. Films almost always play fast and loose. All the best!
And: Brutality of war
@@BewareTheNoid it is extremely historically accurate. The allied armor prevailed because of a numerical superiority. The German tanks had better engineering, armor and more fire power. It was a fight of attrition. The allies would lose an average of 5 tanks to their 1. The Americans had the capability to retrieve damaged tanks and put them back into circulation after they removed the dead and made repairs. Children were hung for being afraid to fight. And the waffen SS did have children soldiers raised in the ideology of the Nazi party through the Hitler youth organization.
I think the biggest gut punch in this whole movie is the end: "Youre a hero kid, did you know that?".
This is definitely one of the heaviest war movies out there.

Don "Wardaddy" Collier (1916- April 25, 1945) is one of the main protagonists that appear in the movie Fury. (He is portrayed by Brad Pitt; There is also a song of the same name on the soundtrack.)
Wardaddy has severe third-degree burn scars all up and down his back. The script and some deleted scenes explain Wardaddy's burns. After Norman asks if the Germans did it, and it turns out that it wasn't from combat. Earlier in the script, he talks occasionally about how drinking doesn't solve anything. Later, Wardaddy explains he once was an alcoholic and drove drunk with his girlfriend and brother. He got into a wreck, killing them both. His back was then burned badly when the car lit on fire, and it burned until help arrived. The whole county hated him for it. Wardaddy was then given the choice of jail or serving in the military and dying for his country. Wardaddy claims it's the best advice he ever got.
Collier may be an English name, but Collier is a second-generation German; He reveals in the script that his mother was born in Germany, in a town they saw burned to the ground by the SS, which explains in part his hatred for the SS.
That is an interesting history lesson.... where history matters most.
Fun fact: Michael Peña learned how to drive the tank better than the hired pilot, so Michael actually drove it through the whole movie
Live😂😂😂😂I would of done the same
These Mexicans always taking our jobs … -> ;-)
No he didn't. Michael Pena is only driving when you can see his head out of the hatch. Otherwise it was one of the mechanics from bovington tank museum

"I'm pretty seasoned now" still has moments where she cries and jumps, nice to see you still have your soft side Cassie :)

young ladies, so wholesome and innocent ,..... credit to you and your sister for being willing to watch such intense war movies,...
It is important for young people to see movies like this. This is what your fathers and grandfathers had to go through to save the world. Mostly, they wanted for you to not have to go through anything like they did. There's a reason they're called the Greatest Generation.
The deleted scenes for this movie give so much more context Into the characters and back stories, and one of the scenes is arguably the best acting Jon Bernthal's ever done. He progresses through a PTSD attack like he's actually having one. It's a super heavy scene
Yeah, They really needed to add a LOT more of the deleted scenes to really flesh out the characters.
is there a director cut with all scenes?
Aside from the cartoonish final sequence against the SS battalion, the thing I liked least about the movie was the way they gave the crew such a surly, menacing, insubordinate air so much of the time.
I guess it wasn't unheard of, but it smacked very much of imposing modern cultural sensitivities on a time they didn't belong.
More character development might have helped.
@@GK-yi4xv What in God's name are you talking about? Have you no sense of the cultural differences in a military during time of war using conscripted troops?
Seems more like you bought into the romanticized version of the Western front, and don't like seeing the reality.
@@michaelccozens Nah. It's 21st century Hollywood-America, not 1940s America, none of it in a good way.
The whole vibe was 'you're not our boss unless we feel like it'
As I said, it probably happened, rarely, but not an entire crew.
It has less to do with conscription (there was no great resentment against conscription in that war, unlike Vietnam), and more to do with the qualities of the culture and population conscripted from.
(People did actually kill themselves when they were medically rejected from serving in that war)
Is the interpersonal dynamic in Band of Brothers, say, a 'romanticized fiction'? (based heavily on the testimonies of the actual people who were in all those situations together)
Part of the problem is Hollywood's ridiculous penchant for casting actors who are not just years, but decades older than the soldiers they're supposed to be portraying.
Brad Pitt was a 50 year old Sherman tank commander! Bernthal and Pena were 37 yrs old. The oldest tank crew in recorded history! (it would have been more realistic if they had cast their sons).
It matters to the way characters interact with each other on screen, but what are you going to do - 'that's Hollywood'
Out of commission, become a pillbox.
Out of ammo, become a bunker.
Out of time, become heroes.
The Beast of War....another awesome movie!
Make them pay in blood for every inch they advance. Fight till your gun is empty, then pull your knife and fight till the blade breaks. Then you go down biting, punching and kicking.

You shouldn't feel guilty about this. You should live well. You should care about your country and care about people. That's how you honor the men and women who went through this. People say, "Thank you for your service," but that isn't enough. Doing these videos where you expose yourself to this tragedy is extremely important. I'm glad this video exists. Your reaction means you understand the weight of this. It isn't easy, and that's the point.

Honestly, you and Carly are a dynamic duo, and I rewatch your videos constantly. There’s something so alluring about your wholesomeness for people like me who would be considered “jaded”
I knew nothing of this film going in but was both shocked and amazed at how well it captured the stark brutality of close quarters combat where everything said and done is uncomfortably close up and personal. Excellent depiction of the intense emotions that this kind of trauma produces. Super fine acting across the board.
The dynamic in this movie is different from a lot of what you've seen because it's a newbie joining a "seasoned" crew that has been thru everything together. In combat, your life is in the hands of the guy watching your back. He's incredibly indecisive, which puts everyone around him in a danger (because you've got to react so quickly). Remember Upham from 'Saving Private Ryan'? Remember how Mellish was stabbed thru the heart because Upham froze and wouldn't go up the stairs to help? That's what's happening here.
And thats exactly why Top took every opportunity to harden him before push comes to shove
The only thing that I hate from that movie is upham.
@@madnessing2774 I hated the whole "lets charge the MG42 in a frontal assault" scene. Absolute BS when they have a sniper in Jackson, who could have eliminated the entire German machinegun team from a distance without giving away his position.
@Madnessing27 You have to remember that Upham was not a combat soldier. He was a typist who was never meant to see combat. He was dragged into something that he barely trained for (he hadn't held a gun since basic training).
I used to hate him too till I remembered that he wasn't really a soldier.
@@NiclasLoof Wardaddy is justified, he has limited time to get Norman up to speed. Norman even at this point after seeing the dead in the camp, washing up body parts, and seeing fellow tankers burned alive still refuses to shoot!!
Norman is going to get them all killed cuz he cant even justified fighting for his own survival!!
Great reaction, it was even more thrilling to see than when I watched "Fury" the first time, good comments and I love your compassion - you really understand how horrible war is.
wait til they get to Come and See
The actor at 8:38, that you asked about, is British actor, Jason Isaacs. He played Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies, and the evil British soldier in The Patriot. Great actor.

And I suppose your country is utterly blameless? I’m joking of course; no country is.
Actually it’s kind of weird that someone with a Polish name has such a hatred for the USA, of all places. If memory serves, Churchill called Poland “a country on wheels,” referring to its ever changing borders caused by constant invasions by other countries. The USA wasn’t one of those invading countries.
By the way, Native people aren’t “kept on reservations” anymore. That is, they have reservations, but can leave them.
I searched “Fury” and found your channel.
My grandfather, SSgt Frank Combs, was a tank commander in WW2 and lost a leg due to sniper fire. When I watched the film I cried, knowing that my PawPaw lived through the horrors of war to come home, marry and have a family. His happy ending is today my blessing, with 4 children of my own. Thank you for sharing your reactions.
I am happy this is the movie you guys chose to watch together. I think this type of movies merits 2 people watching together.....It makes reactions more valuable when you guys are discussing heavy scenes.
Rocky (1976)
1. A love story.
2. Extremely inspirational.
3. One of the best soundtracks ever.
4. Won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director.
Better explain it to her patrons, otherwise you may as well give up.
Stallone had just 1 million bucks for Rocky 1, the figurants are friends and the friends of his friends, his father was the guys who hit the bell. Lol yep he did a pretty good job, no one believed this film would work.
I have a hard time believing that even Cassie hasn't seen fucking Rocky! But if she hasn't, then yes it's a must!
I have to say after having been to war, seeing both of your reactions, shows me a part of compassion I never saw in the moment. Brings tears to my eyes seeing y’all cry over a movie. You guys show a part of humanity that is lost in war. One word I would have to say that sums it up is “numb” while you are in the moment. Guns are not the worst, people are the worst.
"I'm scared" too He explains what he was bearing of responsibility, fear, sadness and pain in silence for fear of his team respect for him
"What For" means "white phosphorus munitions"-White phosphorus munitions are weapons that use one of the common allotropes of the chemical element phosphorus. White phosphorus is used in smoke, illumination, and incendiary munitions, and is commonly the burning element of tracer ammunition.
Initially just used for markers for artillery battalions. Seeing their propensity to burn horrifically in a large area, they began being used offensively, especially into confined spaces.
White phosphorus was used to make matches in the 1800's. It had terrible effects for the factory workers (women mostly) and it would dissolve bones slowly, particularly their jaws,, disfiguring them.
Matches switched to RED phosphorus, and after the changeover, they were called "safety matches."
When a tank hits (shoots) another tank, it does what is called:- "Cook-Off" as the internal ammunition start to burn / ignite / detonate. Basically, the inside of the tank becomes a 500 - 800 degree celsius (930 - 1450 degree Fahrenheit) oven / blow-torch combination - roasting anything and everyone inside (or what's left of them).
Depends on the round type and impact angle and armor and propellant, ordinance material and tank types for both, doesn’t it?
Didn't help that Shermans were called "Tommy Cookers" for a reason. Most Shermans ran on gasoline, not diesel, which had a lower flash point and burned much easier/hotter. Also, Shermans had a 5-man crew and only 4 hatches. The US crewmembers called them 5-man coffins. My dad was trained as a gunner on one during the Korean escapade and luckily, once he got in-country, someone figured out he could type and he was reassigned as a company clerk instead (opposite Norman, actually didn't think of that until now...). Finally, there was no separate storage for the shells like in modern tanks that allows for a cook-off that vents the explosions/flame away from the crew.
One thing they didn't say in the movie is that Shermans were not meant to be anti-armor but close-in troop support (rolling pillbox basically). Not until they up-armored with the 76MM cannon on the Firefly (ironically the kind of tank Fury was) did they have even a remote chance against advanced German armor.
I’ve had a round cook off in a full auto, wasn’t an open bolt.
@@genghisgalahad8465 Yes, but WW2 tanks were generally not like todays modern tanks. The ammunition was generally stored "loosely" inside the turrets in racks, open / exposed racks. So it wouldn't take to much to start setting it off. One shell penetration was likely to start the cook-off. In todays better modern tanks the ammunition is stored in sealed blast compartments in a sealed ammo-bin. If the ammo does start to cook, the ammo-bin has blast doors to allow the heat and blast to be directed outwards to prevent the crew compartment from being roasted. However, more modern Russian tanks have the ammo stored in a concentric ring pattern under the ring of the turret due to the use of an auto-loader (ie. the loader is replaced by a machine). This makes them more prone to cook-off.
@@tiger4361 cooking is a time-sensitive or time-extended process. Impacts on tanks don’t usually take that long a process, do they? That label is kind of a misnomer. I do know the term for “cooking” a grenade and that’s easily understood. I think what you’re explaining is simply an understandable chain reaction that’s pretty quick. Cooking takes time. I think the chain reaction at the time “takes no time”. So why call it “cook-off” unless that’s just made up for CZcams comments.
Fury is such a great movie. The love between these battle brothers when they're sitting in the tank waiting for the battalion to arrive is fantastic! Hits me every time I watch it.
its the one good thing in the movie the rest is like shit...i mean 2 PAKs and they hit nothing or bounce?...or the scene with the tiger acting line operated by 12 year olds? they should go through the shermans like a hot knife through butter at that distance...and they litterly shooting with laser guns like ok it looks cool for short time but its annoying it looks like starwars
@@eli34536 lol the colored bullets are tracers
@@ikea_manager_pok i know that i was in military...in the movie they shoot like only with tracers...
@@eli34536 yeah lol, its star wars in a shor time ago in a galaxy very close
@@eli34536 to be fair about the Tiger scene an Easy Eight's 76mm gun COULD pen a Tiger frontally, especially at ranges shown, so the shots bouncing off like tennis balls are equally ridiculous (I suspect they were implying it was a King Tiger, but could not get their hands on an operational one)
I would recommend 13 Hours, an eventthat happened 11 years ago. Good conflict of politicians, suits, and operators; and how they look at the same problems VERY differently.
The best tag team movie reaction out on CZcams. You two seriously express every emotion. Can't wait to see more of you two!
They noticed Brad taking his shirt off, and remarked on it.😆😆🤪
When Brad Pitt says "I'm scared too" near the end of this movie it breaks my masculinity into pieces. One of the best line deliveries in the movie despite it being such a short, simple line of dialogue.
Being a true hero is being frightened and doing a thing in spite of it for your brothers and sisters.
i feel this movie is more realistic then a lot of war films..its not pretty cause war ain't...it does not sugarcoat it....thankfully...the emotions feel earned and real...
That's the difference between men and soy boys. Men are scared just the same, but they act despite their fear.
@@youtubemodsaresnowflakelef7692 this is a representation of why the world needs toxic masculinity. Like duality of war we are equal parts men and monsters.
@@mediaistheenemy Indeed.
Not the most "historically accurate" film, characters have no real basis on real life figures, but, as folks have mentioned, the actual Tank is linked to a real vehicle in a museum which saw WW2 service.
Not exactly correct. This is from Wikipedia but I’ve read this elsewhere too:
While the storyline is fictional, the depiction of Fury and its commander Wardaddy parallels the experience of several real Allied tankers, such as the American tank commander Staff Sergeant Lafayette G. "War Daddy" Pool, who landed just after D-Day and destroyed 258 enemy vehicles before his tank was knocked out in Germany in late 1944, and the small number of Sherman tanks to survive from the landing at D-Day to the end of the war, such as Bomb, a Sherman tank that landed at D-Day and survived into the bitter fighting in Germany at the war's end, one of two Canadian Sherman tanks to survive the fighting from D-Day to VE Day.
How many war movies are historically accurate?
The standoff bit towards the end to me was so stupid. Made the Germans look completely oblivious and useless. But it's a movie...expect crap like plot armor.
@@brucefale6132 Maybe a couple, Das Boot is the one I'd table as the classic. But agreed, and to be fair it doesn't promote itself as historically precise. It get's the hopeless atmosphere down very well.
@@jakester455 Again I agree, the film depicts the savage desperate, exhausting nature of armoured warfare, while not stating it is based off...... But clearly it draws strong inspiration from.
In the deleted scene he tells Norman that he got drunk and got in a car accident and killed his girlfriend and brother. The judge told him to go to war or go to jail. He had nothing else to live for that’s why he wanted to make sure every mission was complete
Best war film ever made. From war tactics to ptsd, brotherhood and sacrifice.
From production, film to actors in my humble opinion it’s golden cinematic art
0:31--"Have you seen any war movies?" (Cassie)
"Does Pearl Harbor count?" (Carly)
"These people will say no" (Cassie)
Very funny girls....and no Carly, Pearl Harbor doesn't count.
An atrocious misrepresentation of events for the most part. Doesn't count. " Tora Tora Tora " would. It's about the same day.
About to watch Fury and the only war movie watched before hand? Pearl Harbor.
Me: Oh. Oh my. You have no idea what you are getting into.
My grandpa was one of 12 boys from a large farm family, he was one of 10 who served in World War II. Even though them and their brothers all understood German as their dad used to read the Lutheran Bible in High German on The Front Porch on The Family farm. A little known fun fact, in 1930 one in four persons on the streets of any American City was a German speaker from Germany, Switzerland,Austria ,or, Czechoslovakia.The character Brad Pitt was playing being somebody who is bilingual was more common than one would think in today's world.
A symbolic part of this movie alot of people miss is the white horse, The movie starts with a white horse and then Norman wakes up at the end of all the chaos by the/a white horse galloping by.
Great reaction you both, I am Scottish and my great grandfather was in the British military and fought in Dunkirk, The stories i heard of him describing was crazy, Sometimes he would just stare into space lost in his memories of the war. The pain and how lost they are in their thoughts is very upsetting. 😔
Those men went through the unimaginable just so we could be here today and the memory of what they were fighting for should ALWAYS be shown with the upmost respect and should NEVER be forgotten.
Anyway ladies you have earned a subscriber for the terrific reaction!!!! Have a wonderful day 👍🏻
From Saving Private Ryan 1998 to Fury (2014), I've watch you guys grow emotionally.
It’s good to see you young ladies witnessing history of WWII. As Brad said, ideals are peaceful but history is violent. My dads oldest brother was killed in Germany in late April 1945 after surviving the Normandy invasion depicted in Saving Private Ryan. The war ended in early May in Europe and my uncle only had to survive a few more weeks and would have went home. Can you imagine surviving the carnage at Normandy and making it through all the fighting another 8 months and losing your life two weeks before the German surrender. My dad was the youngest of 12 kids and his brother that was killed was the oldest. My dad was only 4 when it happened so his memory of his brother are very little. Sad he never got to know him. His other older brother did survive the war thankfully and they were close until his brother passed. Dad is the last living member of his family. Dad served as a Navy Corpsman ( medic) from 1959-1963. He was discharged shortly after my birth and was not summoned to serve in Vietnam, Navy Corpsmen are the medics for the Marines. He most definitely would have been in the thick of the fighting.
God bless those members of your family who sacrificed so much for all of us. Tell your dad "thank you" for me - navy Corpsmen are the best of the best' Semper Fi from a Marine who owes his life to navy Corpsmen.
Ive seen some react to video channels before but you honestly take a huge amount of time to edit your videos. taking the time to do seperate face cams and combined when talking with each other along with muffling the movie when focused on your reactions and showing a good portion of the movie along with it. That is really awesome and I appreciate that!
Yeah her editing is really top notch!
I went into East Berlin before the wall came down...in 1987 through Checkpoint Charley. Russians were in control and we where being watched and monitored ( I was a young college student). Once through the gate, we walked around and saw the buildings pock marked from WWII. I was flabbergasted as each bullet and shrapnel mark represented a potential death. My short time studying in Germany (2 months) and in East Berlin (2 days) has forever impacted me and my political view of the world. My God's grace bless the souls lost in WWI and WWII...and all wars.
I love it that they didn’t realise where the tension is coming from🤣(Dinner table scene.
"We Were Soldiers" with Mel Gibson. Based on true facts. It's of the first major encounter of US troops against the Vietnamese in 1965. It has a very interesting layer & story-line of the families back in the states at the same time.
Oh yeah. That would be a great one for her to react to!
I hated that movie lol so unrealistic. I dislike half assed war movies that are cheesy.
@@mattyice2099 Some parts of We were soldiers is definitely a great heaping pile of over the top American flag waving patriotism, but the actual combat parts are very well done, and I thought them quite realistic.

Btw, I really enjoyed History Buff’s review of We were soldiers, you can check it out here czcams.com/video/6ABJVrRfr2Q/video.html
I thought he pretty much nailed it.
The reason of them giving Norman a hard time is because the crew have been together for many years and bonded. Out of nowhere was Norman sent to them while they lost one in the crew. And Don is getting closer to Norman because Norman reminds Don of his little brother which died because of him. Its actually explained better in a deleted scene, they should've have kept that scene in the movie.

i went to military and the first thing that they take away from you in training is the thing they call "CIVILIAN MENTALITY" ... you need to become a soldier not just physically but also mentally and emotionally, its gonna be hard of course but as a soldier you need to toughen up! bc if you fail in any way, it means your death or your team's death ...
This movie made me feel like they were in that tank. For 5 years
Referencing the “seeing these kids at 16 what they’ve had to see and go through”, Best thing I’ve read is: “this is life. What we know in America is an anomaly.. it’s not the rule, it’s the exception.” That’s not to make anyone feel guilty but it is meant to not take it for granted like all these people protesting in college campuses right now
“Wait till you see it”
“What”
“What a man can do to another man”
War is hell and the death of humanity and all it represents.
@@cameronmacdonald594 It`s the curse of Cain.
The dinner scene: IMHO, the underlying tension is the idea that this crew who has fought together for 2+ years by this point is angry that their tank commander (Wardaddy-Brad Pitt's character) is spending time away from THEM and with the new guy who so far has been a gigantic disappointment. They feel disrespected by that and show it towards Don (Wardaddy) with everything they were doing and saying. Probably didn't help they were drunk and one of their crew mates (the one Norman replaced) had recently died.
I respectfully disagree.
I think its quiet obvious that David Ayer depicted the unmeasurable amount of animosity and plain hate from the Allies towards the German Nazis, Wehrmacht and the civilian population during WWII.
Travis, Gordo and Bible intentionally described the unfathomable scenarios of death and gore they had to experience during their time in Europe to make a point. They were disgusted and aggravated that Wardaddy “played house” and engaged with the German population, with the enemy.
Seeing your brothers in arms die and be massacred changes people. Its not justified but I understand why every country involved in WW2 had a civilian kill count.
While the Axis had to be stopped the civilians on all sides including the Axis like Germany and Japan suffered tremendous casualties and were victims of mass scale war crimes. The Allies also raped and mass executed hundred thousands of German civilians specifically the Russians but including the US soldiers.
They were all full of hate because of the unbelievable atrocities like the holocaust, losing their brothers in war and family members to the Nazis or Wehrmacht soldiers and being so hardened and stripped off humanity after years in war.
This scene was a very dark yet accurate depiction what war does to human beings.
But what you said could also be played into it. I personally believe this scene presented the hate towards all Germans in general. It cant be helped and doesnt mean the US soldiers were animals. This applies to most Ally and Axis soldier who got completely dissentisized and only pictured the enemy as a ruthless, spawn from hell that had to be taken down no mattee the cost.
Sorry for the long text but just sharing my opinion and add sth to yours.
The men cannot understand why their commander isn't allowing them to rape the girl like they are used to.
@@rookie1178 nope thats it
@@lightup6751I agree with both you and the original post. But I remember Brad Pitt didn't hate all Germans: he shot the SS guy that hung German kids, and he didn't shoot the fleeing crowd of civilians on the road, or the pretty girl with the bicycle. But he was fine with shooting the kids that took out the US tank in the beginning.
And he wanted his eggs cooked by a nice girl.
My grandfather crawled out of two disabled Sherman tanks through that bottom hatch. Probably the most underrated feature of that tank.
My grandather dropped out of high-school to serve in WWII at 17 years old because all 4 of his older brothers went. He stormed the beaches on the second day of Normandy and was in several major battles. He operated what I believe was a 1917A1 tripod (machine gun). He only had one kill that haunted him the rest of his life. He had to eliminate a young German teen around the same age as himself because he was approaching the unit with a rifle during an engagement and posing a threat. He knew he had to do it, but killing someone so young as himself scarred him for life. He returned home at 21 yrs old, met my grandmother, and they were married a year later. He spent much of the first year of their marriage in Texas in rehab for PTSD from the war. He NEVER talked about the war throughout his life, until just months before he died suddenly. I'll never forget the "1,000 mile" stare in his glazed eyes as he recounted to me that story and a few others from the war. It was the first time he had uttered a word about the war in 60 years. He passed away in 2009 at the age 85 and was honored with a beautiful military veteran burial ceremony. I'm honored to have been the grandson of a man who served so bravely. 🇺🇸 🫡 🪖
Can we talk about how clean the editing of the video is? Like wow! Despite scenes being cut, the movie still flows smoothly.
Brad Pitt has done a number of WWII movies. There's "Inglourious Basterds" (2009) from Quentin Tarantino. And "Allied" (2016) which is a real tear-jerker.
For WWI, there's "Legends of the Fall."
And for the Trojan War, there's... "Troy."
Legends of the Fall is a great movie.
World War Z
@@surgtech1503 Legends of the fall is so EPIC. love, love, love it.
Troy would be a great reaction, it's got all the feels.
I wonder if she has seen Legends of the Fall? If not, that would be an interesting movie for her to react to.
This is a great movie. I enjoyed watching this, hearing the very human responses of these two sisters. I'm glad they chose to share it with an audience. 👍
This movie personifies the old adage “War is hell”
As a WWII history buff, when needed, I still have to look up things on the Sherman tank because there are so many variants of it.
Keep up the great work.
This was a late[war 'Easy 8' or jumbo
Fury was a Sherman "Firefly" variant with an extended 3" cannon.
@ No it's an E8 like he said, the Firefly was a British/Commonwealth version the Americans didn't use it. I actually went and say a tank mocked up as Fury, next to the Tiger tank used in this film at the Bovington Tank Museum a couple years ago
@ Fireflies were British
If only we could convince those Patreons to vote for "We were Soldiers." You can't just leave out that superior flick.
One of the best movies I ever watched. The 7th Cavalry has such a haunted history. I think every unit to ever carry that banner was wiped out. All the way back to the days of Custer.

@@super6081 Not a fan of that film.
@@chadthomas7287 It can definitely be allot to watch, the action is nonstop once the 7th lands in the valley and the acting can be a little corny at times but I think. along with Platoon and Hamburger Hill, it's one of the most realistic depictions of the Vietnam War. But that's just my opinion of course, not trying to start any arguments
love that film. lost count how often i''ve seen it. another classic Mel Gibson film. also Sam Elliot. one to watch Cassie
-My Uncle Gene lost two Sherman crews, only survivor twice, heavy combat. Seriously wounded but was back in the fight for the end. Went home, married the love of his life, retired from a corporation to his dream job, a business on a lake, one his his sons became a minister, I think the other was in business. Traveled, and lived a full life, and carried shrapnel they couldn't remove to his grave. He and many like him can be your Norman. They had good lives if they survived.
At 5 minutes when they asked "theyre just expected to go back and rebuild their lives" i thought if only you knew

I retired after 26+ years in the Army. Deployments in 3 different decades. One was uneventful. The other two, not so much. Her comment about everything being "drab and gray" brought back some bad memories that indeed happened on dreary weather. Though nothing can truly portray real events, it is nice that these 2 young ladies are truly touched by the plight of our troops, civilians, and even the German troops. I understand that, but I know I will never, ever, feel sympathy for a certain group of enemy combatants who will remain nameless but can be recognized as the animals who wipe their asses with their left hand and are portrayed by our own idiots as "peaceful" people. Anyway...these 2 kids are sweet.
just so you know that tank and its crew were so well respected and honored that its now in the British tank museum if it makes you feel any better
Welcome, to one of the most intense and brutal war films ever created. Saving private Ryan was the film of the 90s, well Fury is truly the one of the 21st-century’s 2010s.
It’s horrible, but the realities of war and that are true, and it’s definitely a necessary viewing for all of us, whether we like it or not. It is truly that powerful, and it is so great that you decided to watch it in the end.

As a veteran who has been dealing with emotion numbness I need to thank you. Something about your reactions actually helps me, it makes me cry and hey... It's something. Restrepo, Korengal, and Lone Survivor will tug at your heart strings.
Lone Survivor, good shout! Another brutal one though - hard to watch
I have the same thing with reaction videos. Also experiencing emotional numbness due to mental/ emotional abuse by several narcissists & sociopaths of who i wasn't aware they were suffering such disorders. Normally i'm rather empathic, sensitive but years of recovery took their toll. It's harder to feel. When watching their reactions i can feel again like i used to. Also makes me cry. Pent up grief i guess.
Thank you for your service 😞❤️🩹
This is why we all should revere our veterans. And be thankful for their eternal sacrifice. This is war.
A movie about good men who saw horrible things about war and changed their souls forever. Even the mechanic played by the AWESOME Jon Berthal was a good man who lost his mind due to the war but somewhere there were still some humanity in him. My all time favorite war movie till now. Great reactions girls! haha
Fascinating how Cassie has already been hardened through her previous experiences watching WW2 flicks like Saving Pvt Ryan, Band of Brothers, and The Pacific...
Like at 2:56 when she started to try to explain to her sister "you should have seen...." and then realized it was just something she'd have to experience watching on her own.
Just a bit similar to how veterans and people who actually lived through war and battles can't truly explain to civilians watching movies and reading books about the horrors of war without one experiencing it
Hooah.
She's becoming a hardened battle-axe, like the rest of us. Yet, she still couldn't take several of the scenes. So she still has some tenderness in her sweet oversized heart.
I won't condemn her as yet.
Comparing combat vets' experience to a CZcams movie reacter's. They are NOTHING alike. NOTHING. At all. Not even close. Not even a little. My god.
@@yoplaitmajor the comparison is valid, just the scale is different.
@@vaahtobileet Stop it. Get some help. Sitting in bed scalarly different than being in combat. Absolute lunacy. You know not of what you speak.
14:46 "Do you think that war just strips their humanity?"
To a degree, it absolutely does. But that's what's necessary to keep people safe. Some people aren't ready to let that kind of darkness in, but when it's kill or be killed for so long, you learn to see them as targets instead of people. It's a type of dissociation that makes it possible to survive when anything else would get you and all your brothers killed. You have to go pitch black, otherwise you'll never make it home.
Read a series of books by "Sven Hassel " , follows a group of penal tank soldiers thru ww2, sent into the worst places and expected to die. They too have trouble interacting with civilians after a while. And seeing anything beyond ones unit as people
I appreciate how you guys were vulnerable and didn’t start talking during the heavy parts to make it easier but less emotional. It’s somehow cathartic to see other people see things I have seen. You know war creates this darkness in you, and the only way to survive is to become it. Both psychologically but also literally. And it’s the purest form of maturity, I believe, to have to face death, thus become fully aware of it, and therefore fully aware of the value of life and how real everything is, because far from danger people sometimes forget how real everything is, living their ordinary lives, and then you, as a soldier, have to accept all these things, incredibly hard to swallow things, and energetically put yourself into dangerous situations, over and over again. Like you have to be okay to die, you put something else, something bigger above yourself, people are willing to give their lives, so that their friends can make it home, and I think that only people who fight for the right thing are capable of that, to jump on a grenade for your friends. If you guys want a more hearty movie, I recommend intouchables. But not the kevin hart version. That’s literally a knock off. Watch the original, the french one.
The thing that most people don't think about is that Vietnam was when 13 month Tours were started.
Every war before then you fought until it was over. My grandfather was in the European theater for 4 years.
No trips home. You fought until we won.
Part of why I enjoy watching you so much is because your reactions are REAL. You don't stage reactions or over-react and both of your hearts are so kind. I'd imagine you live your lives with your hearts on your sleeves. War is ugly, it's terrifying, horribly sad, and filled with pain. Your sister's jump scares and covering of the face is real and I think in this day and age of reaction videos and CZcams personalities, yours seems the most....human. We are so very lucky we didn't grow up around this War where friends and families went off to die.
You're both gonna need a hug after this one.
either that or a very strong alcoholic beverage lol.
Why?
From you?
This movie has always reminded me of Fortress (2012). It starts out as the pilot of a bomber is killed and the co-pilot is promoted to pilot and commander of the bomber. The next scene is the pilot meeting the new co-pilot assigned while shaving. The rest of the movie is kinda like Fury, flying missions, camaradery between the crew and the acceptances of the new co-pilot. The climax of the film involves the plane being heavily damaged, the pilot killed and many others killed. The survivors parachute out, including the co-pilot. The final scene is of the co-pilot, freshing appointed pilot and commander of a new bomber, greeting a new bright eyed, bushy tailed co-pilot while shaving.
The British and American soldiers lived and died together like true brothers. Long live America. From a Brit.
That’s the cruelty of war. The best soldiers are the ones who can emotionally detach themselves, and think of their enemies as not being human beings
Nonsense. Destroying empathy cripples a soldier and their ability to prosecute a war effectively. Forget your enemy is human and they will find a way to remind you, unpleasantly.
If cruelty were the answer you think it is, a lot of our problems would already be solved. They aren't.
@@michaelccozens the point of war is to kill your enemy as quickly and efficiently as possible, sometimes trying to gain ground on a front and others just find the enemy and kill them. The easiest way to do that is see your enemy as targets, not human beings.
@@michaelccozens There's no room for empathy in war. Your job is to kill the enemy and break their shit. Nothing more. Nothing less.
@@chancyhales5684 The US military measured their progress in the Vietnam War largely on how many people they killed, it certainly didn't win the war. Also made an awful mess of several countries.
its easy when its world war 2 and germans...when the americans saw the truth which was kept from them for a few years they let the germans have it finally
The house scene is pretty heart breaking, you've at the start Brad Pitts character is just wanting some quiet pretend time, even sharing it with the Norman as he's still not been shaped by war, then the others come in and start being very aggressive and disruptive. I take this as they've been away from home for so long fighting the war they've felt the need to be monsters in order to survive, even when they're not directing fighting, the moment they relax they've probably come to know how much harder it is to carry on after so they have to keep heartless and numb to everyone and everything.
Not at all. It's their way of dealing with the stress of combat. Even in modern times you find those types of service personnel. I've served with a few.
Nah they were just immensely drunk as hell. Shia's character is christian so he probably doesnt drink.
Huh? Norman did rape her!
@@tonyweaver2353 HUH? Where's your 'cross' from?
@@dallesamllhals9161 What are you on about lmao
The biggest irony is that we feel so much pain just by seeing these movies for a couple of hours. We can't even imagine the pain that people at those times went through as the war went on for so many years.
When people react like this to a movie scene I can't think anything but "This must be fake"
