Fury: Blood Brothers (2015 Video)
7/10
Good stuff
8 August 2016
This is the only extra on the regular DVD of Fury, well, my library's copy anyway, going into that movie. Why don't I own it, myself? Because this is hardly a picture that one can watch repeatedly. It simply takes too much of a toll on you, on a very deep, significant level. So of course, this featurette goes into how they got all the way there.

It is made up of interviews, sit-down, between takes and such, with crew, actors and vets, all getting a good amount of time, each with something interesting to say, footage, both stock from the real events and behind the scenes, and film clips.

This goes into the authenticity and what they went through to get there, to understand the reality. The cast ended up asking further questions to reach that. We aren't given many of the answers, or what was said at all. Merely that the exchanges took place. They became a family. We learn a lot about the training, both the one week and the on-going to keep in shape, in more ways than one. This does dip into being the unfettered love-fest typical for this sort of thing, but not only of the big names.

This is 10 and a half minutes in running time. There are almost no credits. It shows and tells almost nothing of the worst in detail, which does keep the rating low. Presumably to allow it to air on TV, and such. The feature pushes a hard R, so the DVD isn't exactly going to avoid offensive material. 7/10
