In his David Ayer’s “Fury” video review, The former / editor in cinema David Chen praises the film for his battles of fascinating tanks and his representation of the war as a bloody bloody landscape. The film Graphic War is centered on Brad Pitt as a chariot commander guiding his crew through Germany in April 1945. His young soldiers, mostly inexperienced, treat each of the war horrors in their own way – that she turns to faith, curl up in fear or spray the enemy of rage – while infiltrating the nazi enemy lines.
Director David Ayer refuses to turn away from the brutal violence of the war, by tightening viewers in the restricted spaces of the tanks so that we can understand the immense pressure, the claustrophobia and the camaraderie that the soldiers felt. One of the most painful images is when a tank rolls on a body, spray it into mud, blood and torn flesh, transforming it into a mutilated and soup disorder. Since this film is so grainy and shows no mercy in the representation of the horrible war, he makes us ask if one of the details of this story really happened.
Fury battles are fiction, but David Ayer’s meticulous research was real

“[W]He obtained photos of the body signal, real photos of the period, and I did our best to duplicate what we saw … We printed our own German camouflage scanned from real German uniforms. We have obtained the only Tiger tinge in the world of the film, which is a first. “”
David Ayer used weapons, real uniforms and Sherman M4 tanks that have been used during the last months of the European invasion, an escape now or more of the Nazi occupation. The “Fury” production team also wanted the cards that the commanders also owned to be completely accurate. This would show the public the types of tools, as well as the level of detail and planning, the allied forces necessary for their war strategies. David Ayer and the Production Team Collaborated With Map Specialist Gord Beck from McMaster University and Librarian Larry Laliberté from the University of Alberta to obtain Genuine Maps from the 1940s that they are printed and turned into account (via via Canada Broadcasting Corporation).
This tangible likelihood, combined with the tight framing of David Ayer inside the reservoir and flawless violence in the battle scenes, creates an intense representation of what the Second World War looked like and really felt.
A real tanks commander inspired the character of Brad Pitt
In “Fury”, Brad Pitt embodies the hardened commander Don Collier who must keep his tank team online in bloody chaos. Although his character is fictitious, the nickname “War Daddy” also belonged to Lafayette Pool, who History net Described as “a man burning of desire to be in the most advanced position during the commitment of enemy forces”.
The Pool Arc shooter and assistant driver, Corporal Bert Close (who, like all the characters in the film with their nicknames, was nicknamed “School Boy” by his crew of tanks for his glasses) describes him as “confident of himself, and his attitude was good for all of us”. The swimming pool was a prolific soldier, honored Yank, the weekly army For having killed more than 1,000 Germans and take 250 others as prisoners of war. Pool was as aggressive and intrepid as the character of Brad Pitt, who does everything he can to defeat the enemy.
David Ayer launched his actors in authentic training on the training camp and the experience of the reservoir
Despite the “fury” not being explicitly based on a true story, David Ayer was so attached to the realism that he pushed his actors by the edge so that they understand the rigor of the battle in their own body. After having met veterans and studied the tanks of the Second World War, the whole endured an exhausting training camp, which Brad Pitt detailed at Indiewire::
“We had some of the best conceptions of the Seals for us. And it was really an incredible experience – the way it was structured to break down, make us understand the difficulties, to make us cold, humid, hungry, physically exhausted, then gave us tasks that gathered us, would bind us, discover the aspects and the forces of the other.”
In a / Cinematographic interview, David Ayer describes Pitt as an implacable actor who will not move away from a scene “until each drop of sweat is on the field,” making him perfect for this demanding role.
David Ayer also broke his players psychologicallyexplaining:
“I am a big supporter of the brain of lizards and human physiology. Appointment as real as possible. You cannot act real behavior. They have this incredible craft and this skill, but I want to help them by obtaining adrenaline, stress and excitement – and sometimes I undermine them.”
In other words, Ayer has led its actors to the point of exhausted frustration so that they can draw from primary emotions instead of counting on calculated action techniques. On the set, David Ayer shared secrets told with confidence in order to stir up tension and return the actors against each other. This emotional manipulation was not necessary; He should have trusted the talents of the actors to reach the emotional heights he wanted.
Only certain aspects of fury sound to veterans of the Second World War
The Veteran of the Second World War Bill Betts was interviewed by The guardian On “Fury”. Betts knows the kind of terror in first hand that the characters experience in “Fury”, having to bed in a pond of his own blood for 10 hours after being injured. He praises the use of tanks in the film:
“‘Fury’ portrayed with precision how superior the German tanks were. A Sherman provided you with protection against most enemy shots, but against a tiger, it could easily become your coffin … So, as in ‘Fury’ ‘, we must always have one step ahead.”
However, Betts feels that nothing, in particular the form of two -dimensional art of cinema, “can really get closer to the real horrors of the war of tanks … I saw people exploding and burning.
The scene that Betts felt was too eccentric was the heroic final outfit against the Waffen SS troops:
“The Germans seemed to be used as cannon fodder. In reality, they would have been hardened and fanatical troops which would have easily removed a motionless Sherman tank using panzerfausts (a anti-ban bazooka).
While David Ayer tried to be as precise as possible, especially in the design of production, certain elements of war simply cannot be captured. The truth of war is much more terrifying than we could never imagine. There are many others Great war films based on real storiesBut David Ayer is certainly one of the most visceral.
