Fury - Movie Review

Fury is a 2014 American war film set during World War II written and directed by David Ayer. The film stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Peña, Jason Isaacs, and Scott Eastwood. This movie showed war is not about honor, its about people acting like monsters to kill.

Shia Labeouf in this movie is quite good, I didn't hate him in transformers either, he use to scream "Optimus" like a champ. He plays a character who's war name is "Bible". Every character in this movie brings a different point of view cause every character is so much different from one another, which brought so many prospective into it and made the tone of the movie go up and down several times.

It is supposed to be a war movie but it got side tracked which got me confused about the direction of the movie and it was kinda unnecessary, it was a 20 minute thing which was not required, could have been easily edited out. It only made the characters more unlikable.

It begins with Wardaddy's crew played by Brad Pitt in middle of nowhere and their assistant driver dead, here comes Norman played Logan Lerman who fills the empty spot. This film is mostly from the prospective of Norman, a young typist who is dragged in middle of the war. His character makes you feel like you are right there in middle of the war.

David Ayer captured the true essence of war, which is brutality, I mean you don't even feel good even after the good guys win and that's what war is actually nobody wins people die and that's the truth. It tries to comment on wars, its message is simple "war is not about Right or Wrong, its not about heroic actions its only about killing people" and that's the ugly truth.


This movie is suppose to be about a tank, after all it is named after the tank "FURY". In the beginning the movie showed a battle involving tanks Comradery shows between the cast looks real, it looks like this guys have been through some tough shit together. These guys don't seem to like the war but being with each other makes it worthy while for them and they function like one unit, it was handled perfectly.

The Imitation Games

'The Imitation Game' is a powerful and eminently well-made biopic that illuminates the facts whilst respecting the story it is based upon.

Imitation Games tells the story of Alan Turing, who was hired by the British military to crack German cipher codes during World War II. Although this movie might seem about Alan Turing or the World War but it's not about either of them, it's about society how much things have changed, it's about how technology evolved.

Benedict Cumberbatch has been a star  ever since we saw him in Sherlock in 2010 but this time he has given his best performance in a movie. The best complement one can give is, saying that it didn't felt like watching an episode of Sherlock. Benedict usually looks the same but makes his each character different and that's sign of a good actor.

Keira Knightley made her name in Pirates of the Caribbean franchise but she kinda grew out of it in the middle of it, she gained her first Oscar Nomination in 2006. In Imitation games she plays a brilliant mathematician who is not appreciated by society not even by her parents because she is a woman, she recognizes the stigma and fights it.

This movie feels real, one might say that's because it's based on the life of an actual person but the cast made all the difference, everyone felt like a piece of a giant puzzle. On a side note, watching Charles Dance on screen always makes me smile, now if I think about it I kinda hated him in Dracula Untold. This movie is not about Alan Turing but instead it's about prejudice against the feminine, misconception regarding homosexuality. Turing was in the center of all this but it was more about the society.
