Cinephile No. 461 "Fury"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

War films are often too romantic. "Fury" is far from a love story. In fact, this film may be one of the purest depictions of combat I've seen in a theatre. It focuses on characters you have a hard time liking, but you must proceed through the movie with the thought that war made them this way in the back of your mind. The hellaciousness of war plays out in every scene. As the movie draws toward a "300" style climax, you fall in love with the characters. Their bravery, valor and togetherness shines. War films should pay respect to those who lived these lives. "Fury," in the same breath of "Saving Private Ryan" accomplished just that. 


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
