Analysis Of The Mad Max: Fury Road

1030 Words5 Pages

The soundtrack slowly crescendos, and Furiosa launches herself at Max, tackling him as she dives into his midsection. She grabs the shotgun from his hand, hitting him across the jaw with her stubbed forearm. Putting the gun to Max’s chin, Furiosa pulls the trigger, but the gun simply clicks. The fight continues as both attempt to gain the upper hand, consistently beating each other with whatever weapon they can wield. Finally, Max rips away a gun from Furiosa, with the help of the recently revived warboy. He fires three warning shots and puts the gun to her head, poised to put a bullet through her brain. Mad Max: Fury Road is packed with this fast and intense action, almost taking up the entire run time of this multiple Oscar winning film. …show more content…

While running from Immortan Joe, Furiosa and co. hit a rare muddy patch in the desert, forcing their war machine to slow down to a literal crawl. As they hear their foes car’s approach, Max takes hold of a sniper rifle, and fires to shows that miss his target. Furiosa squats behind before the last shot, and Max hands over the rifle to Furiosa, who uses Max as support to take the final shot. Furiosa hits her target, buying the team some time. Not only does this show Furiosa is more skilled with a gun than Max is, but it also demonstrates her sharp mind. According to an article in the New York Post by Kyle Smith, “[Furiosa] cleverly uses Max’s shoulder as a tripod to stabilize it”, thus reinforcing the idea that Furiosa is smarter than Max because she used him as a “tripod” to make the shot. Furiosa again exhibits her qualities that break those boundaries of being feminine, displaying the equality between men and women in all aspects. But is this enough for Fury Road to qualify as feminist? Is Furiosa being a badass make this movie a feminist movie? It is awesome to see her fight, kill, and beat up people in such spectacular fashion, but isn’t that what Immortan Joe does? If both females and males do the same action, is that

    The most powerful scene in the movie “Crash” is the scene where a black male and female couple is driving a car that looks like the same one that has been stolen in the movie but it is not a stolen car because the license plate is different. Matt Dillon, who is a white racist police officer pulls the couple over and persuaded them to get out of the car and he pats them both down, while he was patting the women down he molested her in the presence of her husband and the husband could not bear to see what he was doing to his wife, although he cannot put a halt or stop the cop because he will be accused of assaulting a police officer, he has think about his standards within society. For example, although the police officer is committing a crime, the husband cannot have to take in consideration that if he does anything to the officer or reacted in a very malicious way, he would not only be accused of assaulting the police but he will also be a color guy assaulting an officer. Moreover, since there are two different races it will be some worse authorities in the conflict. To sum up, the scene is mostly about how a couple was mistreated by the racist officer because of their race and the husband has to rethink what will happen to him if he risks his life for his wife.

  • Immortan Joe's Mad Max: Fury Road

    Immortan Joe’s group of “war boys” painted white and believing that upon death as a warrior they shall fight with their “godly” leader in “Valhalla,” chanting, “Witness me” as they plummet to their death; is clearly the group’s social identity reinforced through Immortan Joe’s leadership (Cite Film). Furiosa, however, dares to break away from the Immortan’s group to create a new group with the former slave-wives; their chant of “We are not Things!” and visible fierce fight for freedom exemplifies the new group identity they established in their betrayal of the “Citadel,” the Immortan’s base territory, and then uphold against the chasing of Immortan’s own forces (Cite Film). The social identity theory assists in the understanding of such overt

  • Metropolis Film Analysis

    1919 Words  | 8 Pages

    Metropolis is a 1927 German expressionistic science fiction film, directed by Fritz Lang. Much of the plot is established following influences of the first world war, and the culture of the Weimar Republic in Germany. Although criticised for its allusions to communism in the resolution of the film, Lang explores mostly themes of industrialisation and mass production, which, coincidentally, were two developments that provided a large influence in the First World War. Lang also explores themes of the Weimer view of American modernity, communism and fascist rule. Politically, this film was shot after WWI, meaning many of its influences were extracted from the horrors of the First World War.

  • Feminist Lens In The Hunger Games

    754 Words  | 4 Pages

    The feminist lens focuses on the portrayal of female characters, gender equality, male patriarchy, and male control of economic, social, political, and psychological forces. A question that might come about when viewing the film adaptation of The Hunger Games from a feminist lens is this: are all female characters in the film portrayed similarly? To answer this question the viewer should look at the way Katniss takes care of her mother and younger sister. She is the caretaker and provider in the Everdeen household as she has stepped into her father’s role since he died and her mother shutdown. Katniss is portrayed as an ultimate feminist being strong and only dependent on herself, while her mother and younger sister are shown as being weaker and needing someone else to care for their needs.
