Fury Road is an absolute masterclass and I would argue the greatest action movie of all time. Miller just absolutely crushing it and returning to his franchise with the budget and experience to polish every aspect to a mirror shine. The level of practical effects work is utterly staggering and everyone should watch the DVD extras/making of material (I believe it's on YouTube) because the amount of craft that went into this film is mind-blowing and arguably should have resulted in a directorial Oscar. The fact that they built all (and subsequently destroyed most) of the vehicles in the film rather than just making GBS threads out a bunch of CGI is amazing and at the very least you should watch the behind the scenes on the cars because it's fascinating.

When I left the theater after watching Fury Road I felt a way that I'd never felt when leaving the theater before. I thought about going back in and watching it again. It was the first movie I watched once I got my 7.1 setup installed in my basement. It's a very good movie.

the holy poopacy posted:Also interesting and meaningful things happen in action scenes, which progress the plot and help tell the story themselves. Yeah also this. It's a movie with a lot of blatant excess, but you could tell how much, love, care, and thought went into everything. And it is easy to see that in a lot of other action movie classics. Aliens, Predator, Die Hard, Terminator 2. At core very simple movies -slightly less T2, but only slightly- but Characters mattered, and actions scenes progressed the plot and helped developed those characters. So many

Milo and POTUS posted:I consider the tattoo showing, not telling. Yeah. Even if you can't catch what the tattoo actually says, it definitely establishes that this is a bad place to be with a very, hmm, utilitarian approach to human lives and bodies. And then you've got Joe's breathing mask and a heap of other cues to really get that medical theme embedded in your brain. Anyway. Seconding. Fury Road is an excellent movie in every way. After I first saw it, I had an hour-long drive back home through a drought-stricken Australian landscape and had to try really really hard not to speed.

Not a subtle movie moment, but the Mad Max computer game is a great way of experiencing that world again. There's a few neat little moments and set pieces and it positioned itself as an unofficial prequel to Fury Road.

Fury Road's only flaw is that they cut a scene that shows how the Organic Mechanic and Miss Giddy exit the story. Gotta admit regarding the tubing I always thought Max had just picked up and kept the tubing the War Boys put on him, because you don't leave useful stuff behind.

Something I read just this week: Miller asked his wife Margaret Sixel to edit Fury Road, she refused saying she hadn't done action movies before. Miller apparently said that was exactly what he wanted, as if he gave it to an action movie editor it would look like every other action movie. She then won an Oscar for the editing. My favourite bit, I think, when the war rig is on fire. They drop the plough to extinguish it, the vents open back up like the rig is breathing in, along with the musical score. Lovely. Really establishes the War Rig as a character.

My favorite example of masterful storytelling in Fury Road is the first time anybody mentions Furiosa's arm. They don't. Nobody ever does. Because it didn't matter how or when she lost her biological arm. A lesser film would have had Nux or one of the wives explain it to Max in a contrived exposition dump for the audience, but Miller understood that nobody in the story has any reason to give a poo poo.

The best thing will be if she has two arms at the beginning and still has two arms at the end of the film. Sidestepping the prequel disease of explaining every trope you know about the character (cough solo cough)

She should start with 2 meat arms, then have a card that says "2 weeks later" or whatever, and she has a mechanical arm and absolutely no one comments on it. Don't even leave room for another movie to address it.

There should be several scenes during the movie where she nearly loses her arm (gets her arm caught in a snare while a machete guy is attacking her etc etc) but never does, then in a post-credits scene she accidentally slams it in a door real bad

lol just remembered about all the mens rights dickheads getting salty at Fury Road as they thought Furiosa got to much screen time and Max didn't do enough in the movie. Just such a deep, deep self own. Also using the scene where max has that one fight at night in the distant than comes back with a pile of guns and a boot for nox, as an example of how "THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHOW MAX BEING A BAD rear end" as an example of this. Like how the gently caress do you even get negative media literacy like that? Honestly the only bad things about Fury Road, is that barely any later actions movies seem to of learned any lessons from it. As someone just mentioned it's literally a masterclass on how to make a brilliant action movie, but following it, for the mainstream stuff at least, we seemed to go deep into Marvel dreck. At least the Wick films were fun. Edit: for subtle movie moments, the importance of boots to Nox. Think someone did a youtube film essay about it? -Maybe Ellis when she was still doing them?- Just subtly showing character motivations and relationships and what not. Max just grabbing him that boot with the other stuff, is a great subtle way of showing how their relationships changed. dr_rat has a new favorite as of 00:40 on Oct 13, 2023 |
