CRI听力:Stars Attend World Premiere of "Fury" 

The world premiere of the highly anticipated World War II movie "Fury" took place in Washington DC this week.

Stars including Brad Pitt, and Shia LaBeouf along with other cast members walked the red carpet, posing alongside World War II veterans.

Speaking at the event, Pitt explained the importance of telling this brutal account of war.

"It is considered a cleaner war, yet, again, my time with vets and men who were there at that time, they will tell you that the realities of the Geneva Convention couldn't come to play at the end there when they were deep into Germany. It was murkier. It was just murkier and certainly what was witnessed was every bit as awful as what's witnessed by our young men and women today."

Pitt plays a hardened Army sergeant named Wardaddy, who commands a five-man tank crew on a deadly mission into Nazi Germany after the allied invasion.

"Fury" is directed by David Ayer and also stars John Bernthal, Logan Lerman and Michael Pena.

The film hits US theatres today.
