This movie is more brilliant in editing, and the control of rhythm is also very good. In more than two hours, several battlefields were changed, focusing on the rally scenes, and with only a few strokes in the undertaker, I fully devoted myself to the description of the rumble. Don (Brad Pitt)'s commanding voice is tight, a few words, roaring out, and a series of operations of the tank's march, the location of the enemy and the enemy, and the soldiers are all cut into sub-shots and quickly switched. Coupled with powerful sound effects and laser effects, the film has a strong sense of war. While watching, I stopped several times, having to catch my breath because of the tidal wave of nervousness and fear.
The photography of the film is very beautiful, the German pastoral scenery can be seen everywhere, and the dark blue-green tones have an aesthetic atmosphere, which makes the war even more cruel. The film uses a lot of low angle shots. For example, the three-on-one battle that started at the seventy-seventh point of the film turned into a one-on-one tank battle. In the final blow of Tang's Fury, the film uses a low-angle shot. When the two tanks turn their gun heads to find an angle, they are slowly facing each other and parallel to each other. They are about to pass by, only a few meters away from each other, The slightest difference in the angle is enough to shatter the bones. This scene can only be shot from the sky to show its delicate relationship. For another example, at the end of the film, when Norman (Logan Lerman) left, the film once again looked down at the tank from the sky - the fury that had been completely cooled, with bloodstains indicating that it and the soldiers inside Together they completed their mission, and now they have both slept together, and together they are gradually freezing in the wind, like the soil below. Then, the camera slowly raised and began to look down on the entire battlefield. The tank was still in the middle position, surrounded by hundreds of dead bodies, and it was even more majestic in the desolation.
As mentioned at the beginning, if you face the lack of human nature in the face of war, the lasting power of cruelty will not be strong. In addition to editing, acting, special effects and shots, the reason why "Fury" is outstanding, the portrayal of the characters' hearts is another reason. The soldiers in the film are vulgar, violent, murderous, and even obscene. At the same time, the film uses the role of Norman and the one sentence that Tang mentioned when he was frightened by a cannonball. We can imagine that these soldiers may not have been like this at the beginning. Norman's youth, greenness, quietness, kindness, and even weakness are representatives of civilization, while war follows the primitive laws of the jungle. Therefore, through the strong contrast between the two, the cruelty of war is undoubtedly revealed. It can turn a quiet and kind young man into a vulgar, violent and bloodthirsty veteran, it gives us the perseverance in Tang's eyes, and it also deprives us of kindness.
And whether to maintain the bottom line is another important consideration for war for people. Tang didn't allow his soldiers to insult a clean and beautiful enemy girl, he left her a seat at the dinner table, and the meal that belonged to her, unloaded her weapons, and enjoyed the long-lost meal time at home. But the bombing that followed immediately wiped it all out. The ruins buried the girl, Norman's love, and his weakness. People always completely destroy some characters when they encounter major changes. At the end of the film, the young enemy soldiers let off Norman hiding under the tank, which is also a reflection of this kind of bottom line. Norman was finally terrified, he was just a child, caught and thrown into the battlefield, forced to brutally transform. But Tang didn't blame him, he understood the fear, he understood him, and showed him a way out.
This is a brutal, yet humanistic war movie.
