Film Analysis: Mad Max Fury Road

Mad Max Fury Road is an astonishing movie. They did a great job with the editing. This includes the visual effects, and continuity of the film. A multitude of aspects are completely overlooked by the general audience, when it has to do with the editing. Furiosa, the main female protagonist of the story, is escaping from the Citadel, a post-apocalyptic city. The Citadel is ruled by ruthless leader that portrays himself as immortal. Furiosa was a driving an oil tank truck to disembark to a place she called the Greenland. As she is driving, the shots all obey the 180 degree rule. This means that when it was edited, the shots were organized on the left side of the truck. There was no shot on the right side of the truck. The left side shows the

    The significance of the connection between Good VS Bad in “MadMax;Fury Road” is due to the director's purpose which was to show the audience that there are good and bad people in dystopian worlds and you need to remember to stay yourself and not let someone over power you and through the characters they tell the audience what you should and should not do, and try and convince you that they know what is good for you. Such as in “The Road” the man doesn't eat people, when others do, in “Madmax” Furiosa decides to save the wives. The mortality of some people in “The Road” is that they stick to their morals and respect other people rather than killing and eating them. This is something we can relate to our own lives when we are surrounded…

    Mad Max: Fury Road paints a society where the line between "machine" and "human" is aggressively blurred. The dependence on fossil fuels and the dehumanizing objectification of humans leads to exploitation of both people and the earth. Rob Nixon's Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor provides a deeper context of the resource curses and inequalities that may cause such a society, both in the film and in our own world today. In the world of Fury Road, both humans and the earth contain natural resources to be drained: oil to fuel machines and blood to fuel "half-life" humans.…

    George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road is a two hour action-packed thrill ride, complete with car chases, magnificent explosions, and a flame throwing guitar player. However, the most striking aspect of Miller’s film is the little amount of dialogue that is used. Fury Road has even been deemed the “loudest silent film ever,” because much like films of the silent era, Miller’s relies on editing in order to communicate meaning and emotion rather than through spoken word. Despite the fact that the film’s main two protagonists, Max Rockatansky and Imperator Furiosa, speak few words to each other, Miller uses various editing techniques, specifically eye-line matches, in order to convey a progression in their relationship from hostile to companionable…

    Cinematic films have been around for many years and served as entertainment for society. Many of the blockbuster movies consisted of an apocalyptic setting that predicted the fate of the future. We felt obsessed with these movies because of our endless curiosity about what the future holds. I for one watch apocalyptic films because each of them involve an interesting prediction of how our world will come to an end. Whether it is a zombie attack that infects everyone or if the water from the ocean wipe out civilization, all were inspired by the tragic terrorist attack that hit New York City.…

    ‘Gran Torino’, starred in and directed by Clint Eastwood, creates a euphoric quality to the ‘good old’ American traditional values through the fictitious events surrounding Walt Kowalski, a Korean War veteran who has recently lost his wife. Kowalski is ‘pissed off’ at the world. His anger is compounded by the fact that he is separate with his disrespectful family, his neighbourhood is overrun by the Hmong and that simply the world is changing, and by his opinion, for the worse. Clint Eastwood’s expert acting talent was paramount to smooth out all the rugged edges that the Asian actors displayed in their characters. The Asian actors looked to have at most a day’s acting experience between them.…

    Stage Models of Relationship Development in Mad Max: Fury Road Mad Max: Fury Road is a fast-paced post-apocalyptic movie directed by George Miller that does a unique job of telling a story and forming very intense bonds between the characters by having very little dialogue. For example one of the main characters, Max, only has 52 lines in the entire film. It is a perfect example of show-not-tell in a narrative, so the viewer is tasked with inferring many of the motives and interactions between the characters. The reason the characters are so action driven is because their environment is harsh and unforgiving, yielding very little resources. Fighting both the elements and the half-humans called War Boys trying to kill them, characters Furiosa…

    I found that Mad Max: Fury Road had many elements of feminism throughout the film. The movie focuses on women escaping and fighting for their freedom from a patriarchal society. It portrays women very differently than many films and it’s a great representation of what women are truly capable of. The first moment that I noticed a form of feminism was with the appearance of Furiosa. She has a completely shaved head, scars, only one arm and is wearing some sort of a war uniform.…
