Mad Max: Immortan Joe's War Boys

At age two, Max’s Father was shot. When he was nine, his mother became broke, so his mother and him moved into his Uncle’s house with his six cousins. Then, when Max was thirteen, his Uncle died. After his Uncles death, Max decided that he did not want to die a meaningless death. Max wanted his life to have a purpose. He then began fist fighting. But his fist fighting career came to an end when the Nazi Party’s hate towards Jews took over the people’s minds rapidly. Soon, Max had to go into hiding. Max had felt guilty and selfish for going

     During their battles the squad sees that survival is not something that is taught but a matter of pure chance. They see their allies shooting allies. Their close friends in the war are killed and they must face the reality that getting out alive is luck. The goal of killing the enemy turns into just trying to stay alive yourself. And when their time is done they are faced with mourning for those who fell and bitter sweet relief that it is over.

A. Attention Getter: A loud roar is heard in the distance as the driver revs his engine. Eight cylinders of Intense power with its five speed transmission. Cars that are meant to be raced and compared to each other. In an adrenaline pumping race of performance. According to Fast Muscle by Gabbard and Gabbard, “The decade began with Ford, GM, and Chrysler in an expanding cubic inch and horsepower war.

‘It could be worse.’ He looked his friend in his Jewish eyes. ‘I could be you’(Zusak 8). Walter is a solider for the Nazi’s while Max is a Jew. Walter being a friend of Max’s since youth helped Max out by getting him to the Hubermann’s household. Walter gave him a book with a key and papers to get past security. Even though all the Nazis killed all the Jews, Walter was different and stood against every other Nazi and did what he thought was best. This shows resilience because Walter should kill Max for being a Jew but they are friends and Max survives and lives

I have since heard the book and its message described as fascistic, provocative, irresponsible, unpalatable. This it may well be. Yet I found reading his book to be an amazingly sobering and dispiriting affair. One can really drink up the spirit of a man in reading his prose, and I fear Heinlein to be not someone with whom I want to share a beer or be friends. I read later that he was a career military officer who developed tuberculosis and was invalided out of the fleet to a literary career. There hangs about this book a severe and cynical air of wounded world-weariness, as if life is a dreary and dangerous affair requiring toughness and discipline to survive. He nearly models Sparta in his apotheosis of rigorous military training as

Characteristics and significance – He is a cruel man that runs the Nazi party, which is responsible for the air raid that bombed Himmel Street. He is also the reason Max was hiding and living in fear.

First of all, Xavier is victimized and destroyed by the many different people he encounters during the war. Xavier’s emotions are hurt when he realizes the truth about his love, Lisette, and his best friend, Elijah Whiskeyjack. When Xavier realizes that Lisette was a hired prostitute, paid for

Every war will have those who support the war and those who are against the war. In 1965, those who were against the Vietnam War made their views known by many forms of protesting such as forming organizations, rallying, and anti-war protest music. Anti-war protest music was an opportunity to put people’s perspectives into song to hopefully spread their message. Buffy Sainte-Marie wrote the song “Universal Soldier” in 1962 and her message was that “Universal Soldier is about individual responsibility for war and how the old feudal thinking kills us all” (Boulanger). The song “Universal Soldier” was used as a protest anthem during the Vietnam War and attempts to untangle one of the paradoxes of life that war never leads to peace through

The first character is the son of Hans Hubermann, Hans Hubermann Junior. Max is one who was taken by the propaganda of the Mein Kampf and mesmerised. “‘What trash is this girl reading? She should be reading Mein Kampf.’" (Page 105) Hans Junior has been convinced by the evil book that anything that doesn’t support the Führer is garbage. Hans Junior also believes his father is lazy and a coward,

The two brothers want to fight the Nazis like their father is doing in Africa but they’re obviously underage. The two brothers are home alone the majority of the time since their mom works at the munitions factory, this leads them to spend hours exploring the outdoors. Whilst they're playing make-believe war, the young boys step foot on a military base. They are confronted by soldiers who seem very secretive, the Braun siblings think that the military base is actually occupied by Nazis. This piqued their curiosity even more so they try to gain more intel, they start talking to Jack’s boss, the journalist and WWI ex-German soldier. After gaining more information about the Camp they decide to sneak into it. When they are laying on the floor they get caught by a soldier. The brothers are brought in the camp and they have to sign a contract to never disclose any information about Camp X. The boys meet to very important figures in the war, Big Bill and Little

People are known to be very curious and intelligent individuals. With the new developments every year, people are becoming more involved with new research and discoveries. The thirst for knowledge has become very strong for scientists especially. Although having knowledge can be a good thing it is also a very powerful weapon. It could be used for good or for evil, but most of the time people go too far and without intending to, uses their knowledge for evil. People are not known to be perfect and they make mistakes, but they learn from their mistakes so that they do not make the same fault they did the last time. But can people make the same mistake twice, after seeing the results of their first mistake? Are people really just Einstein’s monsters – not fully human and always bringing destruction among their own kind? A good example would be the film “War Games”. The film “War games” serves as a metaphor that the United States have not learned anything from their mistake, despite having dropped the atomic bomb and knowing its effects on Japan and its people.

I will be critiquing the movie Hacksaw Ridge which was directed by Mel Gibson. This movie is a biography about one of the bravest war heroes during world war II. The actor playing the part for Desmond T. Doss is Andrew Garfield. I will be be breaking down the film on acting and special effects, this will be mostly a positive view on the movies because I thought this was a great movie. This movies is more than just fighting in war this movie is about your beliefs and never letting anybody change them.

George Miller’s action packed film Mad Max: Fury Road, shines a new light on the role of women in contemporary culture. Mad Max takes place in what is called the “The Citadel”, a post apocalyptic wasteland, where an infamous tyrant by the name of Immortan Joe rules all women and war boys as servants. As the fourth installment in the Mad Max trilogy and an honorable rating of 8.1/10 (Imbd.com), what really makes the film one of a kind is that the movie, usually lead by the vengeful male protagonist, Max Rockatansky, is actually centered on a female cast this time around. By centering the film around a female cast, it alone challenges the views of feminism in popular culture because it portrays women in successful leadership roles, otherwise given to men in a notable action film and popular media. Miller provides the film with the reoccurring role of Max Rockatansky but this time focuses on a new strong and willing female cast, led by a determined Imperator Furiosa who is played by the talented Charlize Theron. In the film, Furiosa and the fives wives are obligated to serve Immortan Joe as slaves and breeders, so the five wives put their lives on the line and with the assistance of the Vulvani, challenge male authority in hope of winning back their freedom. By closely examining feminist ideologies and the actions of the female heroines in the film, the audience can determine the feminist tendencies and message Fury Road is sending popular

Action-packed and highly-rated, Mad Max: Fury Road is a critically-acclaimed film about a journey of survival through a post-apocalyptic wasteland. There is no doubt that post-apocalyptic films are becoming increasingly popular among audiences as seen with movies such as the Hunger Games. However, Leggatt (2012) describes another variation in the post-apocalyptic genre, one that has been dubbed post-9/11 after a string of patterns prevalent in some post-apocalyptic films. Leggatt’s definition of post-9/11 apocalyptic films are ones that have a pessimistic tone towards the future of a society. As the world evolves and progresses, many new issues overlap and outgrow previous issues that have plagued the world before - though this transgression, the film industry follows suit in order to invent stories and media that is thought-provoking and relevant to changing society. Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) is a film that encapsulates many elements of Leggatt’s post 9/11 apocalypse film genre through the apocalyptic setting, derailment of redemption, and societal obsession with apocalypse over utopia.

The war film genre includes films about warfare, including naval, air or land battles. Films in this genre may focus on the battles, prisoners of war, military training, life during wartime or morality and humanitarian issues of warfare. This genre commonly includes works of fiction, works based on historical facts and occasionally works based on alternate-history fiction. According to American Cinema/American Culture, the genre also includes four narrative elements: the suspension of morality during times of war, the prioritization of collective goals over individual motivations, the rivalry between men and their objectification of women and the issues of reintegrating veterans.
