re: My thoughts on Fury (Spoilers)

The movie was meant to portray the depravity of war IMO. We've all seen countless movies where nice, likable men go to war; this was meant to show a different (yet, no less real) side.

I actually was sympathetic to the characters. Throughout the movie (and during the dinner scene, in particular), I could almost feel the pain and suffering they had endured. Unimaginable horrors. It had changed them and hardened them, but also united them. That's something else the movie portrayed - the brotherhood and camaraderie of the soldiers. In that way also, I really sympathized with the characters.
