2002 Words9 Pages

Mad Max ws the first installment which began in 1979, and was followed by three films, they were Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981), Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) and Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). The series follows the adventures of Max Rockatansky, a police officer of the Main Force Patrol in a future Australia whose civilization is rapidly collapsing due to war and critical resource shortages. The film that I would like to apply media criticism on is the fourth installment of the Mad Max franchise: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). It is an action film and was directed by Geoarge Miller who’s also the originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and the mastermind behind the legendary Mad Max franchise. The movie is a story set in the furthest reaches of the planet, in a stark desert wasteland where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life - water, known as Aqua Cola and gasoline, are hoarded and tussled over like scraps of food. There’s Max (Tom Hardy), a former policeman who seeks peace of mind after the loss of his wife and child in …show more content…

Therefore, the media message should be censored and controlled by some organizations in the country. For instance, there is an agency for media content censorship which is Lembaga Penapisan Filem Malaysia or National Film Censorship Board. Every movie must be censored and get permission from the agency before it release on the cinemas. As a result, Malaysia government can make sure that those movies release in Malaysia will not give bad impact to the audience. In addition, as a smart audience, we must be careful in selection of information. We should analyze and interpret the message what it means so that we will not be so easily controlled by the

    If you start thinking, the movie has many strong messages. For example; when Max is on the basement he is sure that one day he will go out, and at the same time he is strong and he finds a motivation (In this case is Liessel telling him how is the day). With Liessel we can see a lot of lessons: curiosity, passion for reading and knowledge. Also, the story show us to persist fighting no matter how bad are the things around you.

  • Mad Max And The Green Place Analysis

    This is the cause of Miller’s near-mystic reputation as a Director of such action films: a positive, intuitive sense of where and when to amend from the expressive detail to the broader view, and vice versa. Those intuitions were also there in the first “Mad Max,” and they are reviving here as well. They link Miller not that much to the edgy oppressors of the recent blockbuster, resembling Michael Bay, as to creators of Hollywood musicals, and to the initial choreographers of the pursuit, in the silent days when portraits lived by motion only. In “Mad Max: Fury Road,” the Polecats—fighters who sweep from one automobile to another on the end of lengthy stakes—are the progenies of Buster Keaton, who, in “Three Ages,” slipped from a rooftop through three canopies and grabbed at a drainpipe, which swayed him out into the emptiness and back via an open

    Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, known to American audiences as The Road Warrior, and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, named at the time of its release as simply Star Wars, are two very different pieces of film belonging to the genre of science fiction. The first tells the story of a man in a dystopian Australian wasteland being enlisted by a group of helpless survivors to fight against pillaging raiders; the latter tells the story of intergalactic warriors embarking on a mission to overthrow a genocidal emperor. Although both of these movies have very different themes and plot elements, they do share one characteristic commonly found in the realm of science fiction films: the influence of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa.
