Fury - (Gut Wrenching First Time Reaction) 

By far my favorite war movie. I love that the main character is just a normal guy, not some demigod warrior hero. Strikes a balance between honoring duty and sacrifice while not glorifying war.

11:32 is Jason Isaacs, voice of the Grand Inquisitor from Rebels Season 1, Lucious Malfroy in Harry Potter, Captain Lorca in Star Trek Discovery.

a war movie i really enjoy is master and commander with russell crowe

If I was going to recommend a movie it would have to be The Lost Battalion. A 2001 American war drama television film about the US 77th Division's Lost Battalion during World War I, which was cut off and surrounded by German forces in the Argonne Forest during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive of 1918. The film was directed by Russell Mulcahy, written by James Carabatsos, and stars Rick Schroder as Major Charles Whittlesey. The film was shot in Luxembourg. It is an A&E Original Movie, premiering on the network on December 2, 2001. A PS, "Ideals and abstinence are peaceful, History and Creation are violent".

That Tiger tank is the real deal unlike the one they used in saving private Ryan, it’s the only operational one in the world. It’s got a interesting story behind it, it’s Tiger tank 131 and was captured by the British in the deserts of Africa in 1941 I believe and now lives in the Boddington tank museum in England along with Fury. It’s also suppose to haunted.

Brad Pitt's character and some of the events in the movie are loosely based around a real tank commander in WW2 who had the famous nickname "War Daddy". I would highly recommend you watch the video The Fat Electrician made about him not too long ago. A cool tank movie that I like is "T-34" or "Iron Fury", it's a Russian WW2 movie with some really cool tank action and slow-mo shots. Last I checked, Amazon Prime had it with a pretty good English voice dub.

Das Boot, Apocalypse Now. two of the greatest war movies

I watched a guy who's been in country on several tours describe the interaction of the scene with the women and the meal. He had a very interesting take on it. His take was that each of the characters were reacting to the trauma (PTSD) of what they've gone through in war in their own personal way. Bible delves into his faith. Top just wants to feel normal and forget for awhile. Gordo has to talk through his trauma cause he's still not sure what to do with it. Grady deals with the PTSD by just getting as obnoxious, nasty and ugly as possible. And then there's Norman who's experiencing all of this for the first time still relatively untouched by war watching all of this unfold in front of him...we witness his own trauma occur right in front of us. I thought his take was interesting, insightful and certainly believable as this is something most of us have fortunately have never dealt with. FWIW.

Two war movies that i dont think youve seen are A Thin Red Line-98, A Bridge Too Far-77.

Seargent York, ww1 movie is my favorite war movie. Stalag 17 is outstanding war movie. The Great Escape is another outstanding war movie. Von Ryan Express is very good. Those are some older movies not everyone has seen.

Black Hawk Down is my favorite war movie. Absolutely excellent story, special effects, everything, as well as a modern (relatively) conflict which is less common.

Another great film by the same director David Ayer is “End of Watch” A real gritty LA cop film, filmed a lot on body cams.

Fantastic reaction to a phenomenal movie. When reactors get so caught up in what they're watching that they forget to -- or can't -- speak, that just shows how much they're involved in the movie. Great stuff, Kev. Thank you.

Thin Red Line might be one of the most philosophical and oddly beautiful war movies I've ever seen. Extra stacked cast for that one. WW2, Pacific theater.

One of my favourite war films is probably Black Hawk Down, directed by Ridley Scott and has such an amazing cast with so many recognisable actors and since most war films are set in WW2 its a good change to have an actual good war film set in a modern war.

16:20 That's Scott Eastwood, Clint's son.

11:28 actor Jason Isaacs, who played the Captain Brad Pitt talked to, his accent was so convincing I completely forgot that he's British!

I’d recommend the 2019 movie Midway - it’s bombastic, chaotic, huge battles and surprisingly accurate, because when you watch it it’s so cinematic and “big” it can be easy to say did that really happen? But yes, would really recommend Midway - does justice to one of the most climactic moments in the Pacific

It's a great movie. It does sort of make it sound like the US was getting wasted by Tiger thanks. In reality, by the time US forces were in France, they didn't run into many Tiger tanks. There was only 3 or 4 Tiger vs. Sherman battles in the ETO.

What a great film and a great reaction my friend. Keep them coming!

I watched this not so long ago and I honestly found it quite traumatic- at the time I just moved on to the next movie but I still find myself thinking about it - the stark contrast between how the soldiers felt in the tanks to how they must have felt before and after the war! Great reaction!!! 😊

Shia is so good in this movie they all are but he sticks out also a Great War Movie u might wanna check out The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise is my all time fav also Last Of The Mohicans it was filmed where I live North Carolina mountains

Each of the tank crew is actually based on a real person, although the rookie gunner was a skilled veteran but he looked young, so they called him 'Schoolboy'. The loader got rotated back to the US near the end of the war and the new replacement of him was almost instantly killed and it was in part due to his inexperience. The real story is almost more crazy than the movie because they ambushed German supply trains, one of them stored women's clothing which they looted and brought to Belgium to give to the girls in town 😂

the movies "Gladiator" or "The Last Samurai" i bet would be in your interrest, D; Brilliant films

Best reaction to this movie that I have seen

Definitely a hidden gem is brotherhood of war, is a South Korean movie that claims on the cover that this movie makes saving Private Ryan looks like a walk in the park. It's as intense if not more than spr, but has such a great story behind it that hits you right in the feels. Definitely a watch if you can find it.

Im not a tactician, but the Germans had the numbers to surround Fury and destroy it with panzerfausts. I guess the script told them not to. I still enjoy the movie overall though.

This is the other test of a good channel l. This film is GREAT

Here's a few suggestions for war & war related movies for you: All Quiet On The Western Front - 1930 - A World War 1, anti-war film. This version from 1930 uses a lot of German veterans of that war. The Best Years of Our Lives - 1946 - Filmed right after the end of WW2. Depicts servicemen after the war, returning to life in the States. Downfall - 2004 - German language film (with subtitles) about the last days of Hitler. The Great Escape - 1963 - Kind of a "standard WW2 movie that everyone should see at least once". About Allied POW's in a German prison camp, and their escape. Loosely based on a real event, with the main characters being composites of actual men. Joyeux Noel - 2005 - World War 1 movie about an interesting occurrence that took place in that war's first Christmas. The events depicted really happened, but the movie compresses many different occurrences from different areas into one area for the sake of the movie. A Midnight Clear - 1992 - A fictitious story that takes place during WW2. Excellent story! More "heart & soul" than hate & shooting. The Monuments Men - 2014 - Based on real events from WW2. Heavy Hollywood influence, but a good, compelling story about efforts to save historic artwork stolen by the Nazis. Patton - 1970 - Another "standard WW2 movie that everyone should see at least once". Some inaccuracies, but Gen. Omar Bradley was a military & historical advisor to the film. A Soldiers Story - 1984 - Another fictitious story that takes place in WW2. Basically an all black unit at a base in Louisiana in 1944 has a murder, and they need to find out who did it. Tora! Tora! Tora! - 1970 - One more standard WW2 movie. Depicts the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and the events that led up to it. Some accuracies, some Hollywood. But a really great movie. Someone else already recommended We Were Soldiers (2002), and I second that recommendation. BONUS: Tell It To The Marines - 1926 - A silent film, that was the first film made with the cooperation of the United States Marine Corps. Gen. Smedley Butler was a technical consultant to the film. And the star, Lon Cheney was the first actor to be made an honorary Marine for his outstanding portrayal of his character.

The Last Samurai and Last of the Mohicans are Great War type movies

Fury is The Best Tank Battle Movie I’ve seen…there’s also another one “ White Tiger “ I think but it’s in a Foreign language I didn’t remember

You can never go home again like you could.

"Black Hawk Down" has got to be one of the GOATs. For a show Generation Kill is kind is also a great show on HBO/MAX

favorite war movie might be, 'In Harms Way', a good mix of military life and war in the Pacific

Tons of rich references, from the horse referencing the book of Revelation to the "Cross" road pan out at the end referencing the sacrifices and much more

I Remember watching this movie in theaters opining night with some of my Army buddies They said this is so accurate in war time's, Amazing acting still my favorite scene is when Brad Pitt dives that knife in the table like "Enough!" Great reaction and review Kev it is tough to commentary on this so no worries man 🙏

Lot of great WWII movies out there. One that is kind of offbeat but enjoyable is "Kelly's Heros". A Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savalas and Don Rickles extravaganza.

Tears of the sun with bruce willis is an amazing and brutal movie. Def recommend it. One of my favorite war movies

The tank museum do a thing called tiger day where you can see both the tiger and fury both being driven

I hope you look up the deleted scenes for this movie on the back story of War Daddy and how he favors Norman over the other tank crew.

Such a great movie 💜💜

Shia will always be one of my favorite actors...he's one of the few to speak out about Hollywoods evil things. Crazy movie tho. This was actually based on a person in real life named war daddy. Fat Electrician does a story about him on his RU-vid channel and many others...he's a great story teller of some real badazzes.

*This* is my favorite WW2 movie.

don't know if you've seen them, but war movie suggestions: "Anthropoid", the TV series "Catch 22", the russian film "Sobibor", "13 Minutes", and of course "Downfall"

yes! thank you for commenting on the Tigers size! So many others haven't lol. Despite all the challenges the Tiger faced when making it to the frontlines with engine and transmission issues, an armored battalion with a Tiger, in most cases many Tigers, was probably the most feared thing of WWII. The Tiger alone was so dreaded that in 44' during the Normandy landings, they spotted a lone Tiger sometime away and they had three entire armored companies refuse to engage it. They had to call in planes to bomb it to get rid of it. Another famous tank that was slightly better which was in my opinion the best WWII tank(as far as armor, firepower, etc.) was the Panther. Shermans were the best because of numbers and reliability, the Panther was superior in armor and firepower, but lacked numbers. Around 6,000 were produced and only 2,500 made it to the frontlines. But both the Panther and Tiger were extremely devastating tanks when they got to the position they needed to hold As far as the movie is concerned, Tiger crews were trained to destroy the front tank then the last tank to trap the remaining tanks in the middle. And even if they did take out the back one first, once they noticed Brad Pitt's tank Fury had a muzzle brake and a longer barrel, they wouldn't instantly went for it first as it had the 76mm gun which was more capable of taking out enemy armor than the 75mm Shermans were. Peterson's Sherman was actually a 76mm Sherman too, which might explain why they went for that one since their gun was closer to his and they might not have noticed Fury's larger cannon until they got close, still taking a shot at the 75mm Sherman in the middle and taking it out since the gun had to go past them to get to Fury. The one shot Fury made right before Peterson was hit directly with the Tigers 88mm gun, would've penetrated depending on the type of round and if they were facing completely head on with it, which they weren't. They were at a slight angle causing the shell to not penetrate and deflect. Assuming they were using normal armor piercing rounds that is.

War daddy was a real person fury however was not the tanks name it went by a different name and this dude was an absolute legend at that final battle they ended up taking out something like 300 soldiers with their battered tank. And I could be remembering but I think during this whole exchange the Germans thought they were being attacked from multiple different positions because of the speed at which they were firing the tanks shells.

"Lincoln" with Daniel Day Lewis

Its an all time great war movie. They said shia didnt shower for weeks. To fit the roll better

FYI: Before this film was shot, all the American FURY TANK actors met & talked in depth with WW2 TANK crews, & what life was like in a SHERMAN BATTLE TANK.

When you’re up for another impactful war movie, Danish film “Land of Mine” was incredible.

You might enjoy these 3 War films. THE BIG RED 1. DOS BOOT. & WIND TALKERS.

Try "All Quiet on the Western Front" 1930 edition. The acting is good and the effects are quite good for the era. Also, "Wings" 1927. This is a silent film about aviators in WWI and features what were innovative shots, such as the swing, the long traveling shot in the club, and of course the filming on the planes. "Danger Close" about the Australians in the Vietnam War. This was one of their largest battles. Norman's experience was not uncommon. Many untrained men ended up in the infantry or tanks because casualties were higher than expected and there weren't enough trained men coming through the system to replace them. By trained I mean specialist infantry or tankers. I have read accounts of repaired tanks being given crews of untrained or mostly untrained men and sent off to fight in Normandy. They didn't last long.

Another good war movie is We were soldiers it is about the war in Vietnam. It is based on real events and Apparently quite accurate.

If you want to have a contrast to a German crew, you should take a look at "Das Boot" its about a German Submarine crew in ww2. Ol movie but old is gold. No other movie will make you feel more claustrophobic than Das Boot, at the end you feel like you are part of the crew.

The greatest war movie of all time is "Where Eagles Dare". Its a Clint Eastwood movie, and its an absolute masterpiece.

16:25 For what it's worth, the German soldier was wearing a US army jacket, which means that, under the terms of the Geneva Convention, he was wearing the uniform of an enemy soldier and thus committing the crime of perfidy. The German soldier, by doing so, thus forfeits any rights as a prisoner. Technically speaking, Norman thus didn't commit a war crime.

Best job i ever had

Favorite war movie's I will comment after watching but here's a few Kev "Saving Private Ryan" Black Hawk Down" "Stalingrad" "Platoon"

so this really sucks but the Geneva convention states that if you wear your enemies uniform and can be executed Im a combat war veteran and that sucks super badly

Aye aye man good reaction enjoyed it 😊

You should absolutely check out "We Were Soldiers." You will not regret it. Based in Vietnam

Ok so…in reference to Don forcing Norman to kill that German soldier Whilst I totally understand why he did it and I 100% agree that if your in a war, you need to see the opposing side as the enemy and therefore you are going to have to kill Simone eventually BUT imo atleast……the issue is that tho that was “the enemy” at that particular moment the German seems to have already surrendered, he had no weapons and was on his knees. Now imo, that is a completely different thing. Which I think is why Norman was so adamant about not killing him, tho I’m sure he’d rather not do it at all, in either situation but especially opposed to killing that German on his knees.🤷‍♀️🤔🤨

American Sniper is an Oscar winning movie and you should watch it before alone Survivor.

a good series (rather than movie) id recommend is ''generation war'' a 8 or so episode series about world war two from the eyes of two young german boys from 1941 to 1945. a big recommendation.

Jon berthal doesnt get enough credit for how good he was

I love WW2 movies and even Brad Pitt. Somewhat of a historian, it has the actual last functioning Tiger 1 tank for God's sake. But I just can't get into this. I feel nothing from it like Band of Brothers or Saving Private Ryan. The heart just isn't there, even compared to When Trumpets Fade. It is what it is, I'm no gatekeeper.

I would like to see you and your son react to "The Chronicles Of RIDDICK" franchise with Vin Diesel 🔥

i love this movie, but some of the small details they didnt do right bother me. Such as the Tiger fight. 1) German tank commander wouldn't have been dumb enough to charge out like that, especially against an Easy 8 like Fury. Fury's gun was a 76mm; and they would've been issued HVAP rounds, easily capable of penetrating that Tiger from the front, especially at that close of a range. 2) they made the Tiger gunner either the most inexperienced person on the planet with those reload times, or it was plot armor.

Any chance of reacting to Waterloo? Although old its a brilliant war film about Napoleon

And the Lord said whom shall I send to reply to this reaction. I said here am I, send me.

The Dark Knight Rises. Please. Thank's!!

Hello!

Stalag 17

Now that your son is old enough to watch these types of movies why didn't you have him watch this with you?

I really just wish that the folks making this film had not been so quick to make so many unrealistic choices in depicting the tank combat and a few other things...it is such a great movie in so many ways but could have been so much better. David Ayer is a really good director, but it seems like he should probably not try to deal with historical subjects...considering his work on his other WW2 movie U-571 is even more inaccurate than this film. I fully appreciate that some things have to be different than actual history sometimes, but this movie did a few too many things that are just completely against the real history for seemingly no real reason. There are such great acting performances in this movie, but it could have been so much better if they had gone the realistic route. IMHO

Please react blood diamond film

They used the only functioning Tiger Tank left in the world in this movie, and then turned the crew into complete idiots. Either that Tiger was crewed by infantry who had never spent a day of their lives in a tank or the writers simply chose to ignore everything about tank tactics for yet another dumb Hollywood film.

This movie was a freaking comic book. Unbelievably dumb and a waste of two hours.

You should watch these with your son so we can get both of your reactions.

If you're getting back into war stuff, "Generation Kill" needs to be on the list.

As brutal as the scene is where Brad Pitt makes Norman shoot the German in the back, it is actually based on military law at the time. As the German solider has a US army issue coat on, he is essentially disguising himself as his enemy. Any soldier caught doing this during wartime was treated as a war criminal and not a regular soldier and forfeited any protection under the Geneva convention. As such, they were punished accordingly, which normally meant execution…

I heard that Tiger was real and the last operating Tiger in Europe. It was on loan from the German military tank museum. They pretty much captured the only thing Shermans could do against a Tiger in open field. Spread out and use their speed and numbers to get behind it. The 75mm on the regular Sherman could not penetrate the Tiger's front and part of the side armor. The panzerfaust scene is heart breaking. When the Allies took Aachen many Hitler Youth went on suicide attacks and took out Shermans by the bushel before getting gunned down.
