D World War II, he is currently capitalized at the house of Pitt-Jolie. While Angelina Jolie upgraded with her war drama “Unbroken” for the Oscar-deployment, also fights husband Brad Pitt at the war front. This runs through the heart of Nazi Germany – and perhaps also wins a battle in the fight for the Oscars
“Heart of Steel”, the first major big-budget film from director David Ayer (“Training. Day “) Brad Pitt offers a veritable follow-up role as the” herb “-killer since Tarantino’s Nazi farce” Inglourious Basterds “. Since then, Pitt has also improved his knowledge of German a lot. In the meantime, he can already say phrases like “What’s your favorite color?” and “Are you a good dancer?”
Of course, there are such questions to captured SS men no right answers, and Pitt as commander of a five-member US tank unit they do not want to hear. His mission is not to massacre as many Nazis in April 1945 in the last days of the war.
On the way to Berlin American units plow through a devastated German province. Ayer turned on analogue film material, avoiding the loose camera and showed a keen eye for details grim: In shelled villages young German women and children hanging on the tree, hung by the Nazis for refusing military service. Even Brad Pitt’s first big screen appearance saves not with brutality. In a surprise attack he jumps out from behind his armor, tearing a German enemy from his horse and pierces him with the knife the face
As a hard-core “Wardaddy” whose ultimately noble heart but unmistakably lit by the uniform, Pitt keeps his men group together with a firm hand. As a young, untrained soldier (Logan Lerman) is assigned to his unit as a tank driver and hints of compassion shows with the enemy, forcing him personally for the killing of a German prisoner.
Ever Ayer makes at least at the beginning of ” Fury “- the” anger “name graces the armored conduit – the image of the honorable US soldiers. Pitts unit is a desert troops cynical boys – including an unbearably pathetic verse from the Bible-citing Shia LaBeouf – who also like to communicate with kicks. Pitt himself commanded the canvas confident and likes visibly in the role of martial blank with a penchant for heroism.
In the last third makes “Fury” a sharp U-turn direction glorification of untrustworthiness and especially nonsensical US bravado. And so overcooked at the end mangy war realism in whiny male friendship and noble sentiments
