As true as that is, the chemistry between these actors is amazing. Second only to the chemistry between a real tank crew, my experience is on heavy gun crews. You HAVE chemistry. It is made through drills, training, and being in combat. Great movie.!!!
@@sheldonjplanktonn Well, it triggered many war historians and "experts" because of its inaccuracy. Well, it probably is inaccurate and kind of a Hollywood propaganda type movie. But it is still, without a doubt, one of the best movies I have ever watched. It portrayed war and brotherhood almost perfectly. MAAAACHIIIIIINE!!!
@@romeo-delta1954 - but yeah almost all war movies have to ham it up and he inaccurate to a degree. It's just the nature of the business. but man, Shia killed it in this movie. Too bad he didn't bring this same skill level to the tax collector :/
@@sheldonjplanktonn Shia is one hell of an actor. A lot of people hate him for the things he do in his personal life and other movies. But man, I admire his determination in Fury. Some say that he refused to take a shower while filming the movie to capture the feeling of being in a real war. I just love him. From Transformers to this, he was one of the men who built my childhood to be honest.
I think of Romans that way I don’t think I’m evil or crazy or weird “For I do things I know I shouldn’t be doing and don’t do things I know I should” “I am slave to sins law but I’m also a slave to gods law” that quote stems deep in me
@@timandshannon03 yea I use that quote from Paul. As a way to not go hard on myself if I fall short. And to keep in mind Paul said this when he was a full fledged Christian not in the past where he was Christian killer.the fact he was still struggling with sin despite being Christian comforts me not to go hard on myself. This movie too with “here I am send me” is another good quote.
@@samuelwoods7832 From what I’ve seen, some tactical things in the movie, stats about the tanks portrayed, etc. The Chieftain on RU-vid and Spookston have some good videos on Fury.
@@lation0401we all get a calling “where if not anyone, why not me.” Whether we take it or not, we don’t know. You dont realize that it was a crossroads in our life until much later
The moment where Brad Pitt’s character knows the Bible chapter and verse, and Shia Labeouf’s reaction, is one of my favorite acting moments. Not sure why. But it really hits me.
maybe because that reference and connection is hard to find to begin with, imo much less so to war hardened veterans, and despite everything, the fact that they still made that connection, made it seem like everything was meant to be.
Top avoids religion for almost the entirety of the film cause he needs to separate from it in order to do his job effectively, but on their last night on earth, he finally lets them know he is also a man of faith.
More like “ he followed the man as hes leader and example and then it hits him why exactly “ this means we all should’ve been here,facing our ends together and it feels right
As an army vet, I got so happy when this movie showed the comradarie between all of the guys in the tank. That's what I miss most about the army and being in Iraq. The guys to the left and right of me. Best job I ever had
Thank you for your service, for risking your life. No matter how this country turns out, there are people like me who respect, love and will buy you a drink.
The music is so perfect 2:44 - 3:08 And when “Machine” closes his eyes and sighs, it’s basically relief that they finally accepted him as one of their own.
True. What a rush and dizziness Machine must have felt right then. He knew he was about to die, a green soldier and a green ‘boy’ about to die in some warring-assholes country. That would break anyone’s heart. But now, he would die as Machine. A brother and a tank gunner. What a trip 🫂
This scene is just so perfect. Shia just nails it. Gives me chills and makes me well up everytime. You feel the brotherhood. The bond. The resigination to and acceptance of their fate.
It’s the crew letting Norman, who’d up to this point had been the FNG replacement of their original bow gunner, know he’s one of them. He’s their brother now.
Shia is probably the most underrated actor in the world. People always look to the mistakes he's made in life but when it comes to his craft, acting. Shia truly is amazing.
As an infantryman i don't care if this was about an armored division, same mindset as the infantry, the book of Isiah hit me hard because all were the finest of men in this scene
this is the most accurate depiction of what brothers are like in the army... not co-workers, not friends, not best friends... brothers. Family. Such a great scene.
The emotions in Shia's face reciting scripture might be the best acting he's done in his career, that shit hit home, the acceptance of his death, the pride in doing what he believed was righteous, but the fear as well knowing they will likely all die, then the bravery again to accept it just chef's kiss, Shia please keep your shit together broh
As a combat veteran, overseas, when it hits you. It’s hits you like a culmination. An epitome. That in essence, war is the best job you’ll ever have. This is such a powerful scene.
One day God will ask for you to step forward, maybe not in life and death, but to protect, to love, to help, to care. To step up for those who cant help themselves. I pray you step out and help, care, love and be there.
All they had was each other. What a beautiful scene. I especially love the bit where Logan’s character is named “Machine,” and Shia’s character hits him a few times on the arm, meaning that he’s forever etched into the brotherhood as death marches towards them. Fucking beautiful.
Fun fact: 1:58 laughing was not meant to be in the movie, for some reason Shia just started laughing here but he managed to make it masterpiece of a scene by making it as expression laugh for Don's knowledge in Bible and saying "Wow, you are somethin' ". In reality, it was a blooper, but he improvised it perfectly and they didn't had to film this scene again.
1:26 that “trying to hold not to cry” moment was just sooooo spot on… watched this so many times and every time that I do, that few seconds always make my heart feel pain, and it makes me love him so much
This scene always keeps me going, idk how to explain it. When nothing ever works in life no matter how hard you do, how much sleep you lose, how much youve lost and sacrificed to reach your mark... For some reason THIS scene shows what it feels like. No matter how bad things ever get, you can STILL fight, even when you know youre not coming out of it easy, you can still hold that crossroad in your life. People like us, we all live in that tank.
I tried to get my grandfather to tell me about WW2 many times. I was never able to get him to open up about it until i was an adult, and even then the conversations were pretty limited. In my eyes he was the greatest man i have ever meet. He was in the NAVY for 4 years before WW2 started, got out and immediately joined the army. He came in thru Normandy (not the first wave) and remained thru out the entire campaign. I was young and naive and stupidly asked if he had killed any Nazis. He never answered me, but in all honesty, when i asked him that question a look came over his face that i will never forget. The strongest man i have ever known had the deepest look of sadness and a reflex to inhale when you want to cry. That moment said enough. I knew to never ask again.
..it's funny when my wife asks me why men go to war I try and tell her it's in there nature then I fall silent...but it's true given the right reason I wouldn't hesitate...then my daughter says if countries were ruled by women there wouldn't be wars....and I say that might be true but countries wouldn't talk to each other as well then I fall silent.....hope this nubmnut putin accepts defeat and doesn't cause WW3......cos then we all be silent
Same with my gramps but it was nam. A few years before his death i was helping my grandma by moving some stuff and noticed a frame shoved in a book shelf......it was a silver star citation and was the only award letter he didn't have on the wall. I asked twice how he got it and he just said flatly "no". Fast forward a bit and we are at a family dinner havibg coffee and cake and gramps starts telling some stories about Vietnam. He had just almost died. My mom and i look at eachother from across the table and our jaws were dropped. My gf now wife asked me after dinner what was up with me and my mom and told her thats the first time in 35 years i have ever heard gramps say anything about his service. Guess thats what happens when the reaper blows on your hair.
first time watching fury was kinda disapointed was expecting action all the crazy stuff...years l8tr i watch it one more time and truely see the movie for what it is....and till this day i return to some of theese great sceenes truely one of best movies i ever watched
Powerful scene. The cry held back is particularly powerful because as men most of us know what it's like to suffer in silence, to be facing guaranteed defeat, and knowing full well we still have to keep going and so we go...."Here am I Lord, send me"
I agree dude. Although I'm not in the army, there are guys I weld with and consider them brothers more than my own family. Family is more than just blood, I realized.
Situations like this somehow galvanize people's spirit. Its something that only happens in dire situations and I cant quite put my finger on what it is. It's like all of life's bullshit is distilled down into the very essence of being. All vanity and ego dissolves. You are living precisely in the moment. It's an ancient and essential truth
This scene is powerful. Regardless of generation or war, the one thing that all veterans can relate too are conversations and moments like these that our family and friends back home will never understand.
I canʻt watch this scene anymore. My son looks like Shia and it is hard to see the crews fate. The movie climax creates so much emotion and I canʻt imagine the emotion that the actual soldiers went through and the sacrifices they made.
I agree he really stands alone here wow!!! Love him and glad he is on a better path obviously we’re all gonna see what he is capable of over the rest of his career I’m gonna bet we ain’t seen nuttinn yet
Best job I ever had, even though you know that they all are going to get killed, you get jealous of them because of the bond they share, the extraordinary life they lived, the battles they fought and won, the friendships they had
Like JJ C said I love the comraderie in SPR. And Tom Hanks is always a good time. I love anyone that is able to become the character. Like Heath Ledger.
It’s a wonderful film.. Gritty, impactful and honest.. To be immersed in evil so much that it’s all around you.. To question whether or not you’re better than those you’re fighting.. And to still be able to recognize innocence when you see it, and to know there are still things worth fighting and dying for, even if you feel a million miles away from it..
As a Christian myself. Somtimes my Christianity side leaves me and then at times it comes back. I’m still a Christian regardless of me going back and forth. I’m currently still Christian. Watching this scene and the movie makes me feel normal. They talk about who shall I send. I think of Roman’s when Paul said “for I do things I know I shouldn’t and don’t do things I know I should”
All of the Army tankers saw this movie of course. I don't know if they do it now still, but they started yelling, BEST JOB I EVER HAD!! It really caught on. God bless you guys.
This movie I believe is one of the best depictions of war in an emotional sense. The whole movie is just grey. From the atmosphere to the emotions it's a beautiful canvas of grey as war tends to be.
Such a underrated, under-appreciated movie. I saw it in the theater opening weekend and loved it enough to rent the video to show my family. Yes, at least two Oscar nominations were in order. Supremely well-made. 💯
Every time I watch this scene I am in tears .. Reminds me so much of the camaraderie I knew on checkpoints in ex yougoslavia 1990´s .. some experiences still remain and those moments of pure connection in a crazy place are impossible to describe to anyone but ourselves .. just me and those guys always together day or night …
After all the heartbreak and anguish, Norman earns the respect of the crew. They were unbearably hard on him, and he was forged by the pain he endured. And when it counted, he was the first to step forward. When the time came, they couldn't take anything away from him, and they respected him all the more for it.
Historical inaccuracies mean fuck all when you can make character arcs so good that heartwarming scenes like this are the result. I just love how authentic and real their collective growth is.
Crazy how they captured that moment as if you really sat in that tank with them living in that one last final moment of the fight of your life. THE MACHINE!!!
A vietnam vet made a comment on another upload of this clip that I think about a lot. He said that in war you don't start out a soldier. You may be in the army, and fully trained, but when you're first arrive in country you're just a kid in a uniform. But there comes a moment where you cross the threshold and become a soldier. For him, it was in some bunker enduring waves and waves of NVA throughout the night. He went into that bunker and saw so much hell that he left a soldier. In this scene, Norman crosses the threshold and becomes a soldier.
There are two movies that I loved so much that I can’t even watch again, only for not being man enough to go through these emotions once more. Fury and Black Hawk Down.
I always thought it was the angle of he was surprised Top knew that. Bible finding out that inside the demon deep inside tops core he as well had read and was a spiritual person. Either way IMO one of the best parts of the movie.
This came out like a while after the entire “Shia Incident” and I find it inspirational that he bounced back after it all and got back to do what he loved
@@christianh4723 Well when i commented on this, it was only allegations from at least post 2017. But still, the only other one that has come out which is a part of the 'Shia Incident' dates to just a year before this movie and it wasn't revealed till last year.
We will all know that feeling one day that iam certain of .....ive lives through a few situations where I was absolutely sure I was gonna die,last time was prostate cancer 3yra back but it’s weird ,almost a relief knowing u don’t have to hold this avatar up any longer to be honest ,death is life’s only certainty
How many times do ya suppose could a life be brought back from death or near it before it simply cant anymore l,wouldn't it seem as though after so often or even whenever it's very life/soul/essence wouldn't be able to be sustained in its body,its be suffering/suffocating eternally within its cage within,its gonna struggle to breathe shrug I cant describe what I'm trying to explain
Cant believe this came out 10 years ago and I just now finally watched it. Of course I had to watch again. And most certainly in the future I will watch it again.
This movie was so powerful. To think that situations like this really happened during WW2. The family these men created with each other in war. They all have my eternal thanks.
My Grandfather fought in this war and said every time he had to fight where every instant you can be killed he just thought of giving his children a better life and stop the Nazis so they can have that better life!! My hero and a recipient of the Victorian Cross for Bravery, in my life there's not a bigger man and I would take the same approach if I had to be in that situation, a true inspiration of courage!!
This is what the movie is about. Not which tank wins which battle, not which AT gun is supposed to hit who in what scenario - THIS is what the movie is about. And if you've ever served in the military, you've hopefully had this brotherhood. I miss it every day.
Anyone who sells their lives so dearly for the Greater good of mankind and the world will have eternal glory in this life and the next. The line “Here am I send me” speaks to the amazing and beautiful feats human beings can achieve when they seek to better the world. I give my humble salute too all Warriors and soldiers who fought and died too save this world from Evil, too pay the ultimate sacrifice so we may all know something so much better than what could have been. Most notably in this sense too the darkness the free world faced in the Second World War Whatever creed or faith. May you all rest in peace, be glorified, be revered for the exceptional individuals you are May God bless you in eternity
Shia's best role in my opinion, he was brilliant in this movie, they all were. On a side note, I came back to watch this clip because theres a video going around the internet right now, its Feb 23', video may be a little older but its of a Ukrainian tank being filmed by a drone. The tank is been fired at by anti tank and different munitions from a trench and the driver drives straight at them while rounds are hitting it and anti tank barely missing. He drives straight to the trench and at almost point blank range shoots the cannon in the trench, vaporizing the Russians, very brutal but its war for you. Then the clip cuts to the tanks driver a couple days later talking about the experience and he smiles and says "the best job I ever had". Amazing video.
One of the best war movie scenes. I love how surprised Shia’s character is to hear Brad recite the book and chapter in the Bible. Shows you he knows a lot more than he lets on, and shows that he is at some level a man of god.
I loved this crew. For the 2 and half hours I got to spend with them in the theater, they showed the inhumanity of war and how it can break down what otherwise would be normal decent men.
