Corazones de acero

Ach jo, proč já blbec se pořád sebetrýzním hloupými americkými válečnými pohádkami o jediných hrdinech na zeměkouli, kteří bojovali a bojují pod americkou vlajkou? Je to moje chyba, nemám si nač stěžovat a asi se v podstatě nebudu rozepisovat jako u Amerického snipera, protože tady místo Arabů běhají Němci, kteří jsou vykreslení buď zoufalí, zbabělí, hloupí anebo zákeřní, zatímco osazenstvo hlavního, téměř nezničitelného tanku by si nezadalo s partou kdejakých grázlů na špinavé americké ulici. Brad Pitt s komicky aktuálním účesem jako by zapomněl, že natáčí už jiný film než Bastardy a vlastně moc nechápu, jestli mu za to stojí hrát načesaného kokota, který zabíjí od Afriky po Německo. Jediným světlým bodem celého filmu je pro mě Logan Lerman, jehož postava mi devadesát minut byla více než blízká a jenž mi jako herec je sympatický v podstatě v jakékoli roli. Kriticky uznávám, že scéna tři tanky proti jednomu byla efektní a povedená. Abych si ušetřil odpady, měl bych se asi vážně přestat dívat na oslavné a hrdinské americké vymývárny mozků. (21.03.2015)

Atractiva película de acción sobre los conductores estadounidenses de tanques que durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial matan a los miembros de las SS en la Alemania. Brad Pitt es el único del grupo que se lava en un momento íntimo, muestra los músculos ganados en el gimnasio de Los Ángeles, y que después de un año masturbándose en la máquina de hierro no se acuesta con la alemana guapa (que no tendría nada en contra). Porque eso no sería ético. Mensaje de la película: No todos los hombres de las SS eran malvados. Aquí, y con gracia, debían haber tenido lugar los terceros Mercenarios. (06.11.2014)

It's not entirely bad in any way, but it could have been so much better if it had decided whether it wants to be an uncompromising dirty (anti) war display of the horrors and nonsense of war and fighting, tank addiction aimed at tens of millions of World of Tanks players or a stylized action movie in a style "we are outnumbered, ikh mnogo", which is something between 300 and Soviet propaganda war movies of the fifties. And to make matters worse, Tarantino's fifteen-minute scene divides it right in the middle, which looks like a removed scene from the Inglourious Basterds. And in each of those styles, it works more or less well here, but together it doesn't do the job as a whole. Not at all. (16.11.2014)

Half an hour before the end, I was still convinced of a five-star rating, because such a realistically dirty, unkempt war film had been missing for a long time. Add to that the production values of fantastic sets, Pitt being the walking embodiment of charisma, and the lunch at the German woman and her daughter's house scene, which I consider one of the best movie scenes of last year. But then came a hardly acceptable scene, which even the Soviets at the time of masterpieces like Liberation would not have liked in terms of exaggeration and heroism. Ayer just got carried away and the whole great impression went down the drain, or into the mud of a tank belt trail, of which the film is full. (24.04.2015)

I’d been looking forward to Fury for a long time. I’d been looking forward to this new movie by David Ayer, whose movies have convinced me what a good director he is and that we will be remembering him in the future. No movies have been made on WW2 in a long time, so I didn’t hesitate and headed out to the cinema. For an hour and a half, I got to enjoy one of the rawest WW2 movies in the past twenty years. I especially liked the ideas with the individual shots, which surprised me in Band of Brothers or in the ancient Russian movie Come and See. One shot was enough to make you feel sick. And it didn’t even involve anything too bloody. From this perspective, the movie aced it. However, a problem occurs at the end, which Brad Pitt decides to handle in his own way – in a stupid and illogical way that makes the movie end exactly the way I thought it would. The ending is heroic and very American, which pissed me off and the movie fell from five stars to four. And if it weren’t for the really good first half, it would have dropped even lower. It would’ve been best if the director had cut the movie 35 minutes shorter. (17.11.2014)
