His other big WW2 film, which was trumpeted at the time for it's
realism and attention to detail, was U-571 (he was the
writer.) The film deviated from reality so much that the
British Prime Minister wrote a letter calling it "affront to the
memories" of those involved in the original events. From
Wiki: The film has numerous inaccuracies and features
scenes that stretch the limits of believability. The climax
of the film features two WW2 submarines in an underwater
battle. Anyone with a basic knowledge of WW2 submarine
warfare would recognize this as extremely unlikely.
However, probably the worst thing about U-571 was what was left on
the cutting room floor. In the original version of the film,
the character played by musician/actor Jon Bon Jovi is decapitated
by flying debris. This scene was cut from the film in order
to avoid an "R" rating. Personally, I think seeing Bon Jovi
getting his head cut off would have gone a very long ways toward
redeeming the film. We can only hope there is a similar scene
in Fury for Shia LeBoeuf. The_Chieftain: On the other hand, he wrote and directed End of Wach which,
talking with a few cops I know, is pretty good. i was having
an interview with an AP reporter the other day who had seen a press
screening of a Fury. He said it was extremely gory which, given
what the script says happened to the previous bow gunner that the
new guy replaces, is quite believable. Fury is by no means
perfectly realistic in all ways, but I do think it does a
reasonable job of representing a tank crew's war in two hours,
barring the track maintenance and waiting, of course. I have much
more hope for Fury than U571, and until you mentioned it, my
impression of the quality of the two films is so different that I
didn't even consider that Ayer was related to U571 Put it
this way: i doubt any sailor was particularly involved in the
making of U571. I was certainly not the first tanker to read Fury's
script. If I was, they did a hell of a lot of research before it
got to me.
