WTF? Writer for The Atlantic recommends skipping WWII movie 'Fury' -- unless 'you're a fascist' [Video]

Writer Noah Gittell is not impressed with the new Brad Pitt movie, “Fury,” about a U.S Army tank crew fighting in Germany during the closing weeks of WWII:

FURY is the most sadistic, jingoistic, and militaristic movie I've seen in a long time. Tarantino-levels of violence with none of the wit.

Newsflash: maybe a movie that attempts to accurately depict WWII might not be “witty.”

Now here is the stupidest thing you’ll read today:

@BoyceCourtney Not unless you're a fascist!

WTF. This reader nails it:

And does anyone care about this? Boo-hoo:

Oh, and FURY has absolute no chance at Oscars. It's far too pro-war for the left-leaning Academy.

More insight from Gittell:

Don't be surprised to hear some warhawking Congressional candidates reference it on the campaign trail.

@jtLOL @ReelChanger So — it portrays what war is actually like?

— Bruce F. Webster (@bfwebster) October 10, 2014

@bfwebster No, it celebrates it.

— Noah Gittell (@noahgittell) October 10, 2014

@ReelChanger Well, since my dad fought in both WW2 and Vietnam, I don't see that as a bad thing.

— Bruce F. Webster (@bfwebster) October 10, 2014

@bfwebster Okay, well, we disagree. You can make an argument that killing is a necessary evil, but this movie goes much further than that.

This just makes us want to see the movie more. Fury opens nationwide October 17.
