FURY is hell | First Time Watching

Always loved that line: "Ideals are peaceful. History is violent."

"It's called war! you feel it?"

"Wait until you see it" "See what?" "What a man can do to another man." That line is so simple, brutal and haunting, It'll stick with me forever.

What I like about your reactions is not just how much you appreciate the stories and the actors but you really get into the art of film making. You catch how scenes are blocked and comment on cinematography, sound, costuming, the whole production. Your love of movies is always front and center and makes your content so enjoyable.

“Ideals are peaceful, history is violent”

As a Marine Corps veteran, I always enjoy watching peoples reaction to what war is really like. Everyone thinks they understand, but they don't. Hopefully never will. "Only the dead have seen the end of war"

I was a Tank Gunner stationed in Germany in the 90's one night I was at a pub and met an old WW2 German tanker, He was a crewman on a Panther tank on the Eastern front. per his statements he hated Nazis but loved being a tanker. we talked for several hours downing several beirs neither of us paid for any drinks that night. The line in the movie "Best job I've ever had" is common amongst all Tankers. The comradery of the crew and tank, not the death and destruction we unleash. This is a hard watch but brings back both good and bad memories of my time in my Tank, great reaction.

That Tiger tank is Tiger 131. The only functioning Tider left from WW2. It lives at the Bovington Armor Museum in Great Britain.

John Bernthal also was the first one to give Shia Leboeuf a stage, on his podcast, after all his allegations and gross behavior. Helped them both a lot, lots of human to human shit on that one.

Probably my favorite war movie. The absolute grittiness and horror it portrays juxtaposed against the camaraderie and brotherhood of guys put through extreme situations together is just perfectly done.

Ames I loved your reaction to brad Pitt saying "Ideals are peaceful, history is violent" your facial expressions said it all.

A small throwaway scene that I like is when Wardaddy and others are passing other tank troops and a soldier asks for money that Don owes him. Don just tosses his coffee on him saying "Coffees too hot".

Jon Bernthal is also "The Punisher" for Marvel. If you haven't watched that series, I highly recommend it. Love your reactions.

On a good day a Sherman would do about 30 on a hard road. The Abrams is supposed to be governed at 45, but I've seen it go almost 60. The helmets have commo hookups inside and are called "CVC" helmet (Combat Vehicle Crewman). My tank was called "Grim Reaper".

I’ve honestly never really thought about how wild it is that Brad Pitt can switch between such wholly different WW2 characters between Wardaddy here & Aldo in Inglorious Basterds. Every actor especially in the tank crew is phenomenal in Fury but I’m just now realizing Brad’s war movie crossover in particular lol

You must see ¨All Quiet on the Western Front¨. First WW in a german perspective. Best war movie ever.

I knew a veteran who had been a tank commander whose tank was one of the first of Patton's relief of Bastogne. (He had a burning hatred for Patton, called him every name you can imagine). He told me that if he went to veteran's reunions and guys from the 101st AB were there, he never had to pay for his own drinks. It was an honor to know Harry.

First 'The Pacific' and now 'Fury.' You are doing an amazing job with these movies, Ames. Thank you for your great reactions and appreciate all of your hard work in editing.

Michael Pena was really good in the movie "End Of Watch", with Jake Gyllenhaal. A serious role as well.

That White Horse at the beginning makes me think " I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him."
