Who Is Mad Max: Fury Road?

The Fast and the Furious movie franchise was an unexpected hit when the first film was released. The movie is about Dominic Toretto, who is a street racing legend, teaching Brian O’Connor how to race and win them money and new cars. The only issue is Brian is an undercover cop who is investigating Dominic and his crew to solve the case about the occurrence of illegal hijackings of big rig trucks (“Plot Summary”). With such a simple plot line, no one expected this movie to take off and reach a huge level of success that lead to the creation of seven more movies with the prospect of there being ten in total over the next few years. The storyline is repeated throughout the movies with a huge, action packed hijacking scene, dramatic scenes of a couple’s quarrel, and a meeting with rivals. The film used a model of repeat and repurpose of their storyline to help develop it into a stronger movie each time they created the next film (“What the “Fast and Furious” Can Teach You”) The director and crew listened to the audience and crunched the numbers to figure out what works and what does not and thus create the huge franchise that is The Fast and the Furious. Few film franchises have enjoyed the lengthy and lucrative run of The Fast and the Furious franchise, a success due in part to its diverse and recurring characters and a loyal fan base.

In an ideal future, most people would expect to see a world devoid of sickness, disabilities, violence, and terror; but what if the more realistic future holds all of these things to be the norm? What culture would then arise from the ashes of this new wasteland society, where people survive off the misfortune of others and the human body is a degenerate vessel for lost souls? Mad Max: Fury Road encapsulates every aspect of this future with all of the explosions and car chases of a classy action film and then some; for many, it stands as a masterly produced action thriller, but for me, the cultural implications, disabled heroes, and purposeful desexualization of female characters in the film prove that Fury Road is about so much more than simply

Nolan creates an atmosphere where one scene will move steadily to the next, building anticipation until all hell breaks loose. Nolan has really done his research with this film as he explores a deeper meaning in good vs. evil. It makes the film seem so real life unlike most fantasy superhero movie. For some reason, the viewer can actually imagine this happening in real life. The lights and effects are very promising.

The camera moves from an area that is bright, to an area that is dead, dark and decayed. The mise en scene changes and the use of the deep focus, camera exposure enables the audience to acknowledge the comparison.

"300" is "Sin City" and "Gladiator" mixed together and coated with a luster that you can only find on fresh-from-the-factory Ferrari's. This is a film that re-envisions cinematography and violence. The technology of

In the films Mad Max and Wall-E, a post apocalyptic world is featured in which earth is in a deadly waste land and is dependent of some type of balance to be restored. In Wall-E earth is incapable of living upon for humans and any other living species due to decades of consumerism causing the humans to venture of on a ship into space to live their lives off of nothing but technology. While the humans await in space female based robots are sent to earth to find any possible living plant so that humans can recolonize back on earth. The film Mad Max is similar to Wall-E but their post apocalyptic world has a energy crisis that puts everyone in a battle for natural resources. Essentially men are in control of these worlds and seem to be the cause for the destruction in each of these films as the women are seen closer to nature and ultimately are the solution to restore order back into the society and take the lead while the male figures are challenged in taking a different role then being the lead savior

Cinematography plays a vital role in creating contrasts within this film, many of which relate directly the ideas contrast. The opening establishing shots display the open Texas desert these landscapes contrasts with the shadows and night scenes frequently used later on in the film. The integrity and honesty of a Texas sheriff contrast with the chilling hit man who embodies archetypal evil. These contrast continue in many forms, one of which cinematography embodies quite well is the hunter vs hunted. A particular

Hollywood has had a history of producing apocalyptic science fiction films in which certain societies are faced with life-threatening conditions and have to look to other planets for gathering resources. Movies such as Oblivion (directed by Joseph Kozinsky) and War of the Worlds (Steven Spielberg) focus on aliens who arrive on Earth, looking to wipe out humankind in hopes of obtaining the planet’s food and water to sustain their own population. They are seen to be evil and greedy creatures who care for no other species except for themselves. However, despite their attempts to take over Earth, these resource-hungry aliens eventually retreat back to their own worlds with empty hands after being driven off by humans and their determination to

The interplay between time and image arises in the repeated exposure of different freeway aspects. The film primarily depicts the changing of the abandon freeway, emphasizing the process over the product. It deliberately shows the audience the overview of the freeway and the surrounding construction frame by frame. The images are constituted by series of jump cuts of the detail of the freeway, like the iron bar is repeated in three slightly different shots

In 2015 the visual effects are amazing but imagine back then. Some special effects needed crazy computers to create explosions, lasers, and more. Special effects used were explosions, morphing, lasers, water splashes, and many to count. Some costumes were needed to be used for special effects like a gorilla mask so the camera can morph it to a human being. Costumes were not really used as much as humans were the most used in the movie and some aliens used metallic like costume to resemble the future. Putting more humans will limit the cost of the film but create more drama and scenes for the entire

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.
