''Fury'' is a 2014 American-British war film written and directed by David Ayer. The film stars Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, and Jon Bernthal. The film portrays US tank crews in Nazi Germany during the final days of World War II. Ayer was influenced by the service of veterans in his family and by reading books, such as Belton Y. Cooper's ''Death Traps'', about American armored warfare in World War II. Ayer aimed for a greater degree of realism in the film than in other World War II dramas.〔('Fury,' Starring Brad Pitt, a Raw Look at Warfare MICHAEL CIEPLYJULY 30, 2014 )〕 Rehearsal began in early September 2013 in Hertfordshire, England followed by principal photography on September 30, 2013, in Oxfordshire. Filming continued for a month and a half at different locations, which included the city of Oxford, and concluded on November 13. ''Fury'' was released on October 17, 2014. The film received positive reviews from critics and proved to be successful at the box office. ==Plot== As the Allies make their final push into Germany, Don "Wardaddy" Collier, a battle-hardened U.S. Army staff sergeant in the 66th Armored Regiment, 2nd Armored Division, commands an M4 Sherman "Easy Eight" tank named ''Fury'' and its five-man, all-veteran crew: gunner Boyd "Bible" Swan; loader Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis; and driver Trini "Gordo" Garcia. The tank's original assistant driver/bow gunner, "Red", has been killed in battle. His replacement is Norman Ellison, who has only been in the Army for eight weeks and is trained as a typist, not a tank crewman. As soon as he encounters the men, Norman is immediately subjected to harassment and hazing. Norman is then ordered to clean the tank, and vomits outside after finding a part of Red's face. While at a forward operating base, it's revealed that Wardaddy greatly despises the Waffen-SS, shown when he harasses an injured captive SS non-commissioned officer before telling Norman to kill every one of them he sees. The surviving crew, who have been together since the North African Campaign, belittle the new recruit upon meeting him, both for his lack of experience and for his reluctance to kill Germans, especially the teenagers of the Hitlerjugend; while passing through a road adjacent to a dense forest, Norman spots three Hitlerjugend soldiers advancing towards the column, but freezes when he sees that they are teenagers. Norman's decision not to kill the teenagers is proven wrong when the soldiers destroy the lead tank with Panzerfausts, resulting in the death of their platoon leader, Lieutenant Parker, and his crew. After killing all three of the soldiers himself, Wardaddy viciously confronts and reprimands an intimidated Norman for failing to shoot them. Later, during a battle with German anti tank guns, Norman, under harassment and pressure as Gordo tells him to do his job, lacks time to load his weapon, and misses the Germans when he does fire the weapon, further enraging Wardaddy. In an effort to 'educate' him to the realities of war, Wardaddy orders Norman to execute a captive German artilleryman for wearing a U.S. issue uniform in violation of the Geneva Convention. When Norman refuses, Wardaddy forces the gun into his hand and executes the prisoner by pulling the trigger over Norman's hand. Wardaddy leads the tanks to capture a small German town. There, he asks Norman about killing the German soldiers, to which Norman sarcastically replies that he was starting to enjoy it. While searching a house, Wardaddy and Norman discover a German woman, Irma, and her younger cousin, Emma. Norman and Emma go into the bedroom together and it is implied that they have sex. After they come out of the bedroom, the four have breakfast together, but the rest of Fury's crew barges in, harassing the women and angering Wardaddy and Norman. Shortly afterwards, a German bombardment hits the town, killing Emma and some of the American soldiers caught out in the open in the square. A platoon of four tanks, led by ''Fury'', receives orders to hold a vital crossroads, protecting a clear path to supply trains and a camp full of nurses and rear-echelon troops (the map shows Emmerthal south of Hameln, where the railway from the Ruhr district to Hanover crosses the Weser river). On the way to the crossroads, they are ambushed by a heavily-armed German Tiger I, which quickly destroys one of the tanks. The remaining three tanks attack the Tiger, despite knowing they are outgunned. The Americans make an effort to rush and outflank the Tiger, but both of ''Furys fellow Shermans are destroyed in the attempt. With some decisive and experienced maneuvering, ''Fury'' gets behind the Tiger where its armor is weakest, and destroys it. Bible notes that he believes they were spared for a reason and the men proceed to the crossroads, knowing that they are the only tank left to protect the camp down the road. Just as they reach the crossroads, the tank is immobilized by a landmine and cutting off their radio. Norman is ordered to scout a nearby hill and he spots a reinforced company of three hundred Waffen-SS panzergrenadiers heading their way. The crew initially wants to abandon the tank and escape on foot, but Wardaddy refuses to leave. The crew, not wanting to abandon their leader, decide to stay and plan an ambush. After disguising ''Fury'' to make it appear as though it has been severely damaged and knocked out, the crew waits for the German soldiers inside the tank. Wardaddy breaks out a bottle of whiskey and shares it with the others. Norman takes a hearty slug of whiskey, and Coon-Ass calls him "a fighting, fuckin', drinking machine", leading the men to dub him "Machine." When the Germans arrive, the crew takes them by surprise. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men nevertheless inflict heavy losses on the Germans using both the tank's and the crew's weapons. As they begin to run low on ammunition, Grady is killed when a Panzerfaust round hits the tank and goes through his stomach, and Gordo is shot while he is about to throw a grenade, causing him to drop it into the tank. He puts his body between the grenade and the rest of the crew and sacrifices himself. A disoriented Bible is shot by an SS sniper when emerging from the tank to give Wardaddy grenades. Wardaddy is gravely wounded by the sniper whilst climbing back into the tank. Norman and Wardaddy take refuge inside the tank where they share their last words. When SS soldiers drop two grenades into the tank, Wardaddy, wounded and unable to move, orders Norman to escape through the bottom emergency hatch of the tank. Norman dives through the hatch and takes shelter in the crater made by the landmine explosion as the grenades detonate, killing Wardaddy. A young Waffen-SS trooper discovers Norman beneath the destroyed tank but seeing him defenseless and also a young soldier fighting a war not theirs, the soldier spares his life and does not report him. The next morning, Norman awakens and crawls back into the tank. He covers Wardaddy's corpse with his coat and takes his revolver as he hears movement outside. As Norman awaits his fate, he is discovered by the U.S. Army, who tell him that he's a hero. As Norman is being transported to safety, he looks back at the carnage of the hundreds of dead German SS troops surrounding the remains of the knocked-out ''Fury''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fury (2014 film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
