Mad Max

Have you still not watched MAD MAX yet?

      Go run!! and watch it as soon as you can!!

One of the best movies I have saw.

I never wrote a review of a movie before~ but after watching this one I could not help not writing about it.

Mad Max is a series.

This story is the 4th story "Fury Road"

-In a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, two rebels just might be able to restore order: Max, a man of action and of few words, and Furiosa, a woman of action who is looking to make it back to her childhood homeland.- on madmax homepage

Movie starts with Max's monologue, on the desert next to his car. It shows why Max became mad and why he became alone. Soon the Immortan warriors comes up and catches Max and takes him to the their base.

Immortan is the name of the ruler in the world.(picture below)
He has water and that makes him to get power in the dry desert. He is a dictator and

use human as tool to make things he need. He squeezes mother's milk from mothers as we do on cows and his wifes are not treated as human. There are just machines to make babies. So they attempt to escape with Furiosa. The story is about Furiosa and the brides escaping to go back to their homeland. How the Furiosa team meets Max and start the journy together is another interesting point to watch.

(behind stories)

• It took 17years from planning to be released

George Miller who directed family movies such as 'Babe' wanted to direct some big scaled movies. First started with an idea "The future devastated by nuclear war, fights for human resources" which is basically still same. On 2001 shooting was going to start but because of the 911 terror it was postponed. After that unexpectedly it rained on the eastern part of the Australian desert, for that plants started to grow. So they had to move the shooting place to Namib desert but because of the safety problem it was canceled. On 2012 they could finally start shooting.

• Most of the pictures are real.

If you watch the movie you will be suprised of the fascinating picture and action scenes. I definitely thought most of it will be CG but it was not. They used cg only for the backgrounds and details.

During the fight~ Immortan's war boys fight very unusually. They ride the pole and go right and left, up and down freely. At this time they also did not use graphic but they made it with the very famous circus 'Circus of the Sun'.

• Silver locker

Before the war boys die they spray silver locker around their mouth. I was really curious what this means. After googling ~ I found out that this is a ritual symbolizing Immortan.





There will be more fun stories but I think this will be enough to make be interested in Mad Max. From the start to the ending there are no time to take off your eyes from the screen.

At the end I thought maybe Max will not be the one to be mad....
