TITLE: FURY
DIRECTOR: David Ayer
Actors: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman
Date of Film release: 17 October 2014
The actor I would like to start with for this specific film is Brad Pitt. In the film fury the acting style I believe he is using Method acting since he has played this type of role before. If you look back at his earlier film Inglourious Basterds you can see some of his traits from when he was Lt. Aldo Raine leading his men to hunt down nazis, which is exactly what they are doing in the film Fury. He maintains his composure and wits even when it seems all is lost. During the last battle of the movie Fury when the tank is tracked and can longer move forward he stays with the tank till the bitter end fighting for his mens lives. The other compairison would be when during the film Inglourious Basterds he is captured by Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) he head butts him during the conversation outside to show his commitment to taking them down even if it cost him his life.
The second actor I would like to discuss is Shia LaBeouf. During his role in this film I feel he is also using method style acting. He is also known for diving deep into his role to get the most realistic scenes and emotions from the audience. During this film admist his own life crisis he proclaimed when speaking with Interview Magazine he had found Jesus and that he couldve just read the words on the script but by doing so he felt it was real and that it saved him. His character in the film is a follower of Jesus although this plays a big part of his character it shows you the commitment he puts into it. He plays a hero in many different movies but I would compare his role to eagle eye. By that I mean his desire to complete the Job when he knows that he isnt going to make it.
Finally the last character Logan Lerman. I think he played from the acting type of both Realism and Method styled acting. In the first part of the film when he arrives to be apart of the crew after Fury loses it gunner he is scared and not prepared for the job hes going to have to do. As the film goes on he starts to the the hatred these people have for not only Americans but Jews as well. I feel that some of his anger displayed could be from his actual family life coming from a Jewish family. In his other most recent film Noah he displays courage and faith in whats to come though it wasnt shown at first in the movie Fury it stood out in the end when he was ready to die for his country.
The focused actor would be Brad Pitt due to his inhernet ability to play an WW2 leader well. I think his personality and ability to play in a military styled leadership role lands him these parts. He’s a really flexible actor and adapts well to other movie roles.
