I watched Fury (with Brad Pitt, Logan Lerman, Shia LaBoeuf, Michael Pena and Jon Bernthal) and Dare no shimorai (Japanese movie) tonight. Both good movies. Fury is a movie about a tank crew at the end of world war 2 (and one of the many American hero movies about the war). Dare no shimorai or Nobody Knows is a Japanese family drama movie from director Hirokazu Koreeda (known for many social drama masterpieces) about a mother that leaves her family alone, and the children have to take care of the household and their own, but the difference from American movies is that the director doesn't focus on the drama itself, but more on the interactions, the childish imagination and typical behavior and that does make this tragic story more beautiful, pure, and realistic. Japanese cinèma however is very different from American cinéma, and Like Father, Like Son might be a better movie to watch at first, if you want to give it a try.
