Natural Balance In The Film Mad Max: Fury Road

If we choose to keep cutting down trees and consuming natural resources then they won’t be able to replenish fast enough and there will be none left, posing many problems like having fresh water available to drink, wood to build products, and land to farm on. Obviously not many people are properly educated on environmental issues and how they make them worse but if we as a society choose not to educate those who aren’t then they will continue to use too many resources and not think about how their lifestyle is hurting our environment, which will make environmental problems even worse than they are today. Now as humans we’ve always wanted to get bigger and better, but if we keep expanding and building as much as we are then there won’t be as many resources available because we’ll have taken over spaces and land that was needed for those natural environments to live. Although this seems like a drastic point and something that we can’t really stop, if we always think that we need to keep building, someday we just won’t have any land to do it and also at the same time realize that we don’t have resources

To say this movie is an indictment of Communism or even of the antiquated customs persistent in the Shaanxi province of pre-WWII Northern China would mean seeing only part of the overall picture. The panoramic shots that the movie opens with create a sense of desolation – barren hills, desert landscape, and shoddy buildings housing poor farmers clawing their way through existence. The message of this movie is received not just from the characters and their actions, but from the setting and period as well. This use of the concept mis en scene achieves a certain impact on the viewer. The soil is dry and bland; the sky often mixes with the earth surrounding the characters in permanent gloom; the river is murky and slow. It was Bazin

Poverty and oppression is a serious condition that is prevalent even in today’s modern society. Women and children are exposed to poverty and subjected to a life of injustice. One of the countries where such problems still occur is in India. Despite the country’s modernization, there lies an undercity where the disparity of wealth is transparent. These social problems are thoroughly described in movies and literature such as Slumdog Millionaire and Behind the Beautiful Forevers. In the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Catherine Boo, the author describes slum life for a set of individuals and the hardship that their social conditions confined them to. Another movie that gave insight to slum life in India is Slumdog Millionaire

Everyday in the media, society is confronted with the attitude that we are inevitably heading for a global environmental catastrophe that will destroy mankind. Constantly scaring society as a means to create awareness for the environment has created ‘doom fatigue'. The threat of doom for humankind is used so often, that it has become a cliché that many dismiss simply as a shallow warning. In his book The Sacred Balance, David Suzuki has attempted to overcome the ‘doom fatigue' so his ideas of conservation and environmental management do not become the monotonous endeavours of intimidation that many environmentalists employ. The extensive use of diagrams, quotes, anecdotes and statistics are utilised to create a holistic portrayal of our

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.

This essay is used as a strong basis to argue that Mad Max Fury Road promotes a message of redemption and restructuring of Australia after the apocalypse. All arguments in this essay are supported using four theories from Malory Nye Religion The Basics Second Edition 2008. The first theory that will be used is Arnold van Gennep’s Theory of Rites of Passage this theory will be used to clearly explain how the main protagonist Furiosa and the five wives flee The Citadel in search of Furosia’s homeland and in doing so how they go through separation, liminality and incorporation throughout the movie. Next, Pierre Bourdieu’s “Practice Theory” will be used to provide an explanation of how the Max and the other people in The Citadel live and practice

They arrived on Planet Blue and decided to reroute a meteor to crash into the planet, in order to kill off the dinosaurs so that humanity can rule. As history repeats itself, their miscalculations caused the meteor to come in too early, hit the wrong place, and trigger a century-long Ice Age. On Earth, humanity has destroyed the ecosystem numerous ways, ranging from increasing pollution levels, mainly responsible for global change, to the extinction of various species. However, most people believe that global warming is a fad that will repair itself in due time. The outcome of not considering the future, and how it will alter the world left after they have been long gone, causes humanity chooses to focus on the now, and not the metaphysical idea of what may be to come. This narrow focal point allows the harmful decisions to constantly reoccur, without humanity learning from

Bill McKibben who is the author for the essay called The Only Way To Have a Cow claims that the way meat is made is an unclean practice that has many negatives. The biggest of them all is methane in the atmosphere. The release of methane can be of the past thanks to today’s methods and technology. Methane can be reduced by having the cows become free-range and grass fed but that would increase the price of meat. Other ways methane can be reduced in the atmosphere is by being stored and used for energy, and by altering cows diets.

I accept that the root cause to environmental degradation is the excessive use of resources on our land utilized by the processes under capitalism. As Jensen wrote in Endgame, “The global industrial economy is the engine for massive environmental degradation and massive human and (nonhuman) impoverishment.
