"Fury"

I walked out of the Brad Pitt movie tonight.  I had read a review that said it was bloody and violent, but I thought, of course, it’s a war movie.  What I was not anticipating was having my face rubbed into the violence.  

I know tanks ran over people.  They ran over students in Tiananman Square.  My issue is that I don’t enjoy watching it, and I don’t need to watch it to know it is horrible.  I already am aware of that.

I’ll also give the director some advice.  Most members of the audience need a character with whom to identify.  After about 40 minutes, I never found one.
