Fury Road was a difficult movie to follow if you wanted everything about it to make sense, because its storytelling was very economical. The explanation for things was not always explicit, and was usually done with one line, and then never revisited. So there are people out there who didn't get it. Like Jack Baruth, and half the people who posted on his review: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2015/06/ttac-movies-mad-max-fury-road/

Outstanding. This is real. Also, I just realized Furiosa rips Joe's face off by hooking the harpoon into his real jaw AND his mask's jaw. Now I get it.

VideoTapir posted:Xinjiang, that way they get the right terrain while being equally provocative. The movie Kekexili, the Mountain Patrol takes place on the Tibetan plateau and that makes Australia or Namibia look like the Garden of Eden. Ther air is so thin there is a foot chase that lasts about 30 seconds before both chaser and chasee collapse from pulmonary edema and the ground actively tries to murder you.

From what I understand, Australia was more or less "spared" most of the nuclear war in Mad Max, so I wonder what kind of hellscape America or Europe looks like.

Ironically the hardened-bunker Megacities of America were less affected by the nuclear exchange and their society has a higher standard of living even though it's equally dystopian. While Furiosa is learning that hope is a mistake and unless you can fix what's broken you'll go mad, Judge Andersen is learning to be the best boot stomping on a human face forever that she can possibly be.

Fury Road 2: they do actually reach the substantially-reduced ocean and have a series of boat/jetski chases across it Fury Road 3: the other continents are iced over and they get chased back to Australia on snowmobiles and modified SM100S's

How could it take 160 days to ride across australia? How could bikes carry 160 days worth of fuel?

VideoTapir posted:How could it take 160 days to ride across australia? This stood out to me and I don't remember any one explanation being offered that made sense. If there's a city out there, then you say you can make the city and can stock up there. Even if they hid, previously, caches in a line, that's taking a lot for granted for a path probably not very traveled. But if they do decide to make a movie about going off in that direction, I'm hopin gthey can use it to reboot the Tremors worms.

It's because the movie's not a documentary. There's an obvious gulf between what is told and what is shown. While Furiosa 'objectively' sets out on a 200-day journey with tons of supplies, the imagery is of her on a tiny motorcycle, driving out into a blank space.

VideoTapir posted:How could it take 160 days to ride across australia? A - its one bad line in a really good movie B - they are speaking figuratively, like in their world "160 days" means "forever" or "a really long time" for some reason. C - the oceans receded and they are heading north towards new guinea but are claiming 160 days because.... The movie owns and it is funny how every so often someone comes in to bitch about this one little point cause it sticks out

50 miles to the gallon, say, though it'd probably be minmaxed a lot higher 5 gallon tanks plus another 60 gallons if you look at Max's load 65*50 = 3,250 miles /160 days = 20 miles per day There you go, dorks who can't enjoy anything, they only ride for an hour a day to keep the bikes in working condition. 160 days.

I figured it was not perfectly staged but what would make sense is * Gas the bikes and spare cans from the Rig, then strap them on top * Drive rig -> that way until rig dies or runs out of fuel (they still had that big extra ball they were gonna give the canyon guys, right?) * Drive bikes -> that way until they also die or run out of fuel, exhausting jerrycans as they go * Walk remainder of way, possibly eating Nux Abandoning the rig didn't make a ton of sense but perhaps they figured it would deter pursuit? Other than Joe himself, nobody seemed specifically agitated by the wives escaping.

The actual explanation for 160 days is it's a movie and doesn't need to be scientifically or factually accurate, really.

I am entirely behind the times, but I finally saw this last weekend and I loved it. Like the original trilogy, the visuals are by far the strongest part of the movie and are a fantastic example of storytelling by showing. Overall it was a really fun movie that doesn't have many down moments that break the pace like a lot of action movies. By far my favorite part was when Max walks back from the fog after taking out the Bullet Farmer, covered in blood, and one of the wives asks "Are you bleeding?" Can't say enough about how good the cinematography was in this movie. That said, Fury Road really blows the original movies out of the water. I never saw the original growing up despite my older brother watching them over and over when we were young. I finally watched Mad Max and Road Warrior and I was wholly unimpressed, I think it was from a lack of nostalgia and misplaced expectations. Hearing others talk about the movies I was exciting Max to be a total badass, one-man army kind of guy, but he always ended up crashing his car and getting the poo poo kicked out of him. I assume the intro to Fury Road is a callback to that because Max was a much better fighter in this one. Aside from setting the bar for post-apocalyptic settings I felt the originals were far too campy and disjointed. Am I looking at the old movies the wrong way? What about them makes them classics in your eyes?
