Mad Max Fury Road Analysis

498 Words2 Pages

Mad Max: Fury Road and the novel, Girl at War by Sara Novic both contain endings where the protagonist achieves a goal. In Mad Max: Fury Road, the ending is more successful due to the successful recovery of the Citadel and the hope for a better future. 
 In Girl at War, the ending includes Ana reaching her goal of finally finding“home”where she does not have to lie about her past and can overcome her mental issues, but Ana’s goal of coming back to Croatia to find out what has happened to the people she had lost is not fulfilled. She never does find out where Marina ended up after Petar’s death. The ending was not as satisfying to the reader because the reader was left with unanswered questions. The reader desires to know if Ana will stay in …show more content…

Another death that is displayed is the death of Immortan Joe himself in which makes the viewer rejoice at a chance for a new beginning. The suspense of what the war boy’s back at the citadel will do when Mad Max is seen to be the one driving Immortan Joe’s car makes the thrill of the film last until the very end. At the end of the film, the hope for a new community full of unity and equality is created when the wives help the common people up onto the platform that takes them up to the citadel. Also, the water pipes are turned on for the people below by Furiosa giving the viewer hope that these people living in poverty will never have to beg for water again with their new leaders. Lastly, the most successful part of the ending of Mad Max: Fury Road is that Mad Max did not ride up to the top of the citadel, but remained with the common people like a true hero. 
 The endings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Girl at War both include happy endings, but I believe Mad Max: Fury Road gave the viewer more details in what the future may hold for the post-apocalyptic society. In Girl at War, the reader only gets a sense of accomplishment from Ana, but not exactly what she accomplishes or what that accomplishment contains for the future. Therefore, the ending of Mad Max: Fury Road is more

  • A Cheaper Sense Of Honor Summary

    Hendrix states that a more traditional conclusion, that restates the themes of the book would have been a better choice. “Sadly, its lack leaves the reader with a sense of incompleteness, significantly weakens what would otherwise be a strong work, and rather mutes the effect of the points the author wished to make” (Hendrix). I do not necessarily agree with his statement here. I find it to be boring or unnecessary to end a book by just restating the themes and information that the entire book previously laid out. I thought it was a good way to end the book, since it furthered her theme of the divide in treatment between enlisted men and officers, without explicitly recapping her

When this is taken into account, it becomes clear that McCarthy does not wish to see the character that is supposed to be his son left alone in a world ravaged by violence.

This causes the ending to be a day dream and makes it lackluster. In the movie the ending is much better as it is a happi r and clearer ending. The movie ends with our main characters walking off to the park, “ you want to go to the park with me?”. This adds a better story telling experience due to the fact the reader isn't confused on what

    The film Mad Max: Fury Road (George Miller, 2015) explores a dystopia created by patriarchal dominance and gender inequality. However, it shifts the dystopian outlook by destroying the patriarch Immortan Joe thus allowing it to transform into, as Taylor Boulware states, a ‘feminist Utopia.’ The way this is done in Mad Max is through the empowerment of female characters through reversal of gender roles. Also, the ‘feminist Utopia’ in Mad Max is like Sarah Scott’s Millenium Hall – such as exclusion of most males and valuing female philanthropy.

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

    Throughout life we are told to express our individuality and swim against the stream of the general population to put emphasis on the characteristics that make us, in short, individuals. Cherishing what makes an individual special and different is what establishes roots in creativity and self expression, however there is a forced false sense of comradery in today’s society that takes the form of involvement with the masses; peer pressure forces many people to fall into the mold of an average character. The Academy award winning film, “The Incredibles” displays the themes of expressing one’s true self and special qualities, and in contrast repression by society to fit a basic mold. These themes are elaborated on through the development of the main characters and expressed further through the supporting roles and their dialogue and endeavors.
