Fury (2014)

I just caught the movie again on TV a few days ago. I still enjoy the film, but I loathe that scene in the German village where they go up to the ladies apartment. I understand the point, but its such a disjointed scene.

 

careful you are getting into the "Sacred Cow" area.

In reference to George's post not KJ's.

 

I'll point out another scene that isn't quite right, and that's the attack on the AT guns across an open field. While such attacks were common, I can't imagine one being conducted without an artillery barrage ahead of it. Even if the Division/Corps artillery were directed elsewhere, they still had mortars down at the company level that could have peppered that tree line before and during the advance.
Such things don't spoil the movie for me, but if the goal is realism (which this film claims) then be real.

Perhaps a War Daddy spinoff.

 

I've read that his backstory was included somehow, but ended up on the cutting room floor. Maybe we'll see a directors cut someday?

That puts me in mind of Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven which in theater format is a really terrible movie, but in the director's cut is absolutely the finest film ever done on the Crusades. Every piece of back story or connection that made sense of the events was cut by the studio so that it would fill some 120 minute window. Without that extra 20 minutes of narrative it's just some French blacksmith/Baron confusedly running around in circles with a sword, with that extra narrative you get a (very compressed) and compelling historical tale.
