just started a rewatch its such a good film
The line "Do not, my friends, become addicted to water, it will take ahold of you and you will resent it's abscence" is like the perfect summary of Capitalism brain, it's great.
The whole visual repesentation of Joe's cult in the opening is so well done i havent seen any other movie that does the same
The opening is so unsubtle and and to the point the story telling is so efficient in the movie i love it
It's so rare nowadays that a big budget movie still gives a fuck about basic things like "show, don't tell" or about proper setup and payoff. Watching it was so full of "this is what they took from you" moments.
The opening is so unsubtle
"My name is Max. My world is fire and blood." Wow okay sweet dude!
It's super cool that it exists, but I couldn't imagine watching it myself, the original film just does so much beautiful shit with it's color palette it's amazing.
Like, how do you go and make a movie about violent BDSM psychos in a post-apocalyptic hellscape that looks more beautiful than any other movie released in the last twenty years?!
I want to strap Tom Hardy to my car and make out with his big ol' lips
I want a flamethrower guitar. But I also learned some valuable takeaways from that story where Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. experienced a pyrotechnic codpiece malfunction.
Fury Road was just so enjoyable. It's rare to see an action movie that's genuinely good (visuals, pacing, story, everything) and that doesn't make me feel like shit for rooting for the protagonist. Looking at you, "superhero" movies that are all about savagely beating up muggers and whatnot.
Wouldn't that just be the Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie?
It is a standalone, but it's basically a photo-negative batman movie with a side of "Eat the Rich".
I am a massive fan of the old 3. Should I make the effort to watch Fury Road or will it make me upset because its different?
Fury Road is the full realization of what Mad Max was meant to be 30 years ago. You're really missing out.
You've convinced me to give it a try. I struggle accepting modern versions of 'camp' whereas old shit like Clockwork Orange and Mad Max: Beyond the Thunderdome work for me. Full disclosure, I haven't actually seen a full length movie since before Fury Road was released.
IDK but it really is a good movie in it's own right, so I can't not recommend it
that entire movie is so good. I can't even stand it. I'm never watching it again. I showed it to our 11 year old and she was transfixed. Meme lords got into for a while and I'm like no way jose. And then capeshit waved shiny objects and people forgot about MM.
The CGI blends so well with all the practical effects, aside from a few portions that were deliberately over-the-top, like the steering wheel flying toward the camera. The film rewards rewatching it, it moves at breakneck speed so you can't notice all the tiny details in one sitting, have fun!
Basically the only sequel to an 80's action movie that is better than the originals.
I dont think punk would have worker out with the movie but if youve got links to some australian garage punk stuff id llike it
the only bit that sucks is the cgi steering wheel or whatever near the end
I saw Fury Road the first time in a shitty small town theater, and its the first movie in my life where I have left the theater feeling noticibly anxious.
