MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (2015)

People may say that the sequel-by-sequel is one form of poverty of ideas of the film industry mainstream. But George Miller recently gave evidence that the sequel any amount (whether required or not) is not a problem of origin is done well. Might reflect on the fact that the last film Mad Max namely Beyond the Thunderdome was released 30 years ago, many would accuse the manufacture Fury Road is nothing more than attempt Miller hoard dollar purse. But see the end result I dare to deny the opinion. Fury Road is a form of release at the same idealism latent madness a man aged 70 years from 1998 to 2011 spent his career to make three films themed "children's film". Although without Mel Gibson, Miller was ready to fully return to the world of post-apocalyptic full of hardness and madness that first he presented in 1979 ago.

The style of this film like The Raid of Gareth Evans: move fast and flowing without breaking said one incident. The difference, Miller not only use the setting cramped but barren desert that is so broad as "raceways" between Max (Tom Hardy) with a bunch of crazy soldiers from three different cities. Refers to the premise, the film contains a two-hour chase between cars strange modifications. But they do not just race, but also fighting each other over their respective vehicles were drive toned penetrate the arid desert to one of the most vicious sandstorms that have ever featured in the film. Here Miller spilled whole madness that has been buried for decades. They race not only fast but also hardness, full of stunt crazy, and is packed with incredible CGI. George Miller really good use $ 150 million budget that he has. CGI effects not just "style" but rather an important aspect in order to realize its vision of forming an atmosphere wasteland that is brutal and full of danger.



Keep moving at high speed, Fury Road never ran out of fuel. Initially I was hesitant Miller could exceed barrage of action scenes he had come up during a storm attack in the beginning of the film. I also wonder whether the climax would be insane or just end up disappointing because the director razzle exploit everything in the early half. But George Miller is a grandfather genius at the same time also seems to be a madman. Not only enlarge the scale and add explosions and sadism, climax inject high level of tension when the audience unknowingly already care about the characters, particularly those of women. The Joe's wife is physically weak woman but resilient in which a sufficient capital. Furiousa (Charlize Theron) is the embodiment of badass heroine. Max? Well, he's mad anti-hero right ? But unfortunate in his own movie Max actually lose shine than other characters. With twisted, Miller also involves gang granny in the fighting. Make them react to kill them with a brutal way. Who was not surprised to see that kind of thing?

Mad Max: Fury Road is okay to walk like The Raid is endless, but the difference between this film has a strong script. Again the genius Miller played a major role. A script he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris blends perfectly with penyutradaraannya careful. Not just terrific action packed scenes, Miller still keen to slip riches story contained in the manuscript. Max main enemy this time was a king named Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) who is worshiped like a God by his followers. Characterization Immortan Joe and his leadership is the way George Miller slipped a critique of the social caste differences. Joe and his army and those close to her life on the rocks including high-top filled green grass (the only fresh plants that we see throughout the film). They were prosperous. Even in one scene we see a group of obese people who constantly sit while relaxing. It is inversely proportional to the people who live under, famine, drought, and suffered from many diseases disgusting.



That's why Joe is so revered including when he lowered water directly contested by the people. Miller memperlihatan a tyranny that gripped the lives of the bottom, pitting them up fighting each other just to get clean water. As for the army, Joe is a model that makes them willing to die in battle. Because with that they believe the leader will guide them to "Valhalla". It is not much different from today's reality about the emergence of groups cult that promises heaven their version often try to grasp by committing suicide. Coupled with sub-plots some character like Max who haunted the death of the princess, redemption Dosan Furiosa and Nux, until ambition Immortan Joe got a son with perfect physical, showing that the Mad Max: Fury Road is actually a film about humanity. While the world has been destroyed, madness enveloping, the disease would spread, in fact, some people are still trying to find answers to their lives as human beings despite passing their own way.

I particularly like the depiction of the world post-apocalyptic film. Certainly one of the things that's required is so arid conditions, remaining virtually anything including animals, water and greenery. But beyond that, the atmosphere was hopeless in human beings that leads to madness depicted so real. Design a character with clothes and make-up plus a unique tend odd number of heavy vehicles with modifications that are not less crazy so it was not just a matter style. Imagine you live in a world like Fury Road where food and clothing and clean water is increasingly rare, but the disease it was rampant. Humans are encouraged to survive until the final boundaries, must make their hearts and minds are no longer clear. Instead of unnatural makeup, mental breakdown , conscience disappears, and revere the ruler who is expected to provide prosperity like God was understandable.

Verdict: Mad Max: Fury Road is a profound and intelligent storytelling about the condition of post-apocalyptic hidden in the cover of the B-Movie mindless madness.
