It’s time for another Movie of the Month, and this time I’m looking at Fury, directed by David Ayer and starring Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Michael Peña, Jon Bernthal, and Shia LaBeouf.
In this episode I break down the performances at the centre of the film and look at how the actors create such a believable sense of tension, hierarchy, and shared history within the tank crew. We talk about ensemble acting, authority on screen, and how restraint can sometimes be more powerful than big emotional moments.
I also explore how the characters shift throughout the film, particularly the journey from outsider to soldier, and what actors can learn from performances that rely on subtle choices, listening, and physical presence.
