"Mad Max: Road to Fury" is the fourth part of the Mad Max series, but it is thirty years away from the third part. The previous works have basically the same settings, the same director George Miller and starring Mel Gibson. Although I haven't seen the first three works, there is no threshold for this work, and the background setting is very simple: in the not-too-distant future, the nuclear war caused by water scarcity has destroyed human civilization, and the survivors are lingering in the harsh environment. , The different gangs they formed became the dominators on the wasteland, and the leaders of the gangs used brainwashing and resource control methods to enslave the civilians.
The protagonist Max is one of the few free people in this world that has returned to the era of the weak and the strong. He suffered mental torture for failing to protect his loved ones in this barbaric land. He was also captured by a gang named War Boys. "Blood bag" became a slave who provided blood for the War Boys. The gang’s deputy, Fliosa, rebelled and tried to lead the wives of the leader of the gang back to the oasis where he was born. Max escaped and formed an alliance with him during the escape and pursuit. Max’s blood donor Nax Also affected by the probation. When the group arrived at Fliosa’s homeland after all the hardships, they found that the homeland had disappeared, and Max finally persuaded everyone to fight back, and finally completed the blockade and rescued the people.
The story is very traditional, and there is nothing wrong with the storytelling. A dead hero leads his companions to turn from defense to offense, overthrowing the violent gang that dominates one side, that's all. However, the angular characters, the setting and description of the coexistence of weather and details fill this ordinary story with completely different temperament, which is refreshing.
The role of Max is played by the British actor Tom Hardy, who has become popular in recent years. Hardy's resolute face and silhouette and taciturn performance perfectly fit the image of Max's bitter and hateful tough guy. This seems to be somewhat similar to Bain in "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" that Hardy has previously played in another well-known role. In this film, after Max was taken as a slave, he also wore a metal mask like Bain. Although it may be a coincidence, I clearly felt the director’s malice...
As the protagonist's monologue said, Max lives in the torment of the present and the past. This once-church vigilant policeman was polished away and learned that in the world of the restoration of the law of the jungle, only survival is the creed. As for the concepts of “heroes to save the beauty” and “human rights and justice” in the face of the big issue of survival, they have nothing to do with themselves. If it weren’t for the heroine Fuliosa to set up a locking device in the car, Max, who had escaped from birth, would have long been there. Departed from the dust. Even if you want to run together, then let Lao Tzu's halter go away first, otherwise it's not necessary to talk about it.
There is a story in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. Hua Xin and Wang Lang took refuge on a boat. They wanted to rely on them to travel together. Hua Xin disagreed. Wang Lang said: There is still room, why not? After the robbers chased him, Wang Lang wanted to leave the boat rider. Hua Xin objected: I hesitated at first because I was worried about this situation. But since he has been put on the boat, how can he abandon him because of the critical situation! The world judges Huaxin Wang Lang as superior to others, and as a real man, Max must choose Huaxin's path.
So even if Max and the women's gang proudly said at first that I was forced to be helpless, once the companion had trouble, Max would definitely go through fire and water without saying a word. The film’s line-drawing of the male protagonist can be described as a pity, even when it comes to a life-and-death decision, it is just a flashback, followed by Max cleanly carrying his gun on the horse, and taking the girls back all the way. Even without a mask, Hardy's Max has no extra expressions compared to Bain, and a look is meaningful. For such a man, good things are done, but it is only the end-turning around and disappearing among the crowd, hiding his merit and fame deeply.
The heroine Fliosa, starred by Theron, constitutes another focus. The Queen of Theron is really upright, and "The Devil's Head" can be regarded as a man, so what is it to be a man with a shaved head. Fliosa, who had been taken captive from her hometown when she was a child, came to the top of power in the gang of men. With her mother-killing wrath and thoughts, Frioosa tried to use the opportunity of expedition to return to herself. In his hometown, take away the girls who were used by the gang boss as a fertility tool.
With a well-planned plan and Max's great assistance, Frioosa made a bloody path in the chase and interception. The wise and brave female warrior never expected that the homeland she had not seen for many years, the oasis belonging to many mothers, had been turned into a quagmire of death by pollutants. For the first time in many years, Frioosa, whose hope was shattered, wept bitterly. I wanted to pin the last bargaining chip on the far side of the salt desert, but Max's proposal once again ignited her annihilated hope. Fliosa was eventually rescued by Max's blood transfusion and became the new leader of the gang. At the end of the film, the relationship between the two of them ended up with each other cleanly, but Frioosa must also know that Max has not only continued her life.
Of course, the other female characters in the film undoubtedly support most of the sky. The survivors of the mother tribe are always strong and vigorous, all of them are brave and combative guerrillas. They use their lives to complete the continuation of the tribal spirit and win the future for their descendants. And the young girls who are the wives of the gang leaders, the white yarns that flow freely like sand and the long-legged jade arms that dazzle as the desert sun, the sceneries that suddenly changed the style of the film at the beginning of their debut are by no means simple. The role of the vase: It’s natural to help with a bullet and repair a car. Reconnaissance and anti-brainwashing ideological education are also necessary skills. If the bullet scratches the magic horse, it is too lazy to cry, just a bag. The girls even took the feminist slogan refusal to materialize as a creed toward freedom and wrote them on the walls of their cages.
Nicholas Holt's War Boy Nachs is a symbol of innocence. Because he was brainwashed by authority and wanted to exchange death for glory, he failed the mission by mistake, was brainwashed by the red-haired girl Capable, and finally gave up his life. The change in this role is one of the few things in the film that makes me feel a bit blunt. Actually this is not important. Please take a good look at the half-naked, fair-skinned Holt, this Narcissus is here to brush his looks, okay? !
The villains who stood on the opposite side of the protagonist appeared on the stage as big bosses and miscellaneous soldiers, with craziness running in their veins. As the incarnation of absolute dominance, several bizarre leaders, including the undead old Joe, are actually just masked barbarian tyrants. On the one hand, they participated in the hunt to punish rebellion, and more to regain their health as a fertility machine. woman. Although the continuation of ethnic health in the post-radiation era is indeed a tribal event, it is also somewhat of an allegory as the negative target of feminism in the current situation.
As an action movie with sci-fi elements, the more fascinating highlight lies in the amazing detail settings and perfect display. The overhead world of the post-nuclear apocalypse era has always been fascinated by science fiction fans: the social order reorganized after chaos, the barren land full of radiation, the remnants of human beings with distorted body and spirit, and the ruins of devastated civilization. This work inherits the settings of the series, but with more advanced special effects technology, it outlines a more broken and crazy world with more impact.
The horrible refugees, the white-skinned new-generation War Boys, the tits who specialize in milk production (the future of the supermodel maiden army), and the tribal bosses covered with abscesses or fats, they have one like a freak show. This kind of mysterious atmosphere with heavy taste and curiosity directly defines the crazy soil visually. The berserker has a skull totem on the back of his neck, roars and launches an offensive, sprays his mouth full of silver paint to complete a suicide attack, and then he can ascend to the hall of worship. The leader is like a god, and the captives are used as slaves and blood bags. The madness has undoubtedly followed The tribal primitive violent impulse and idolatry are incorporated into the blood.
The various vehicles appearing in the film are even more whimsical, more like the reappearance of the B-level film styles of the 70s and 80s, exuding a rough texture and the smell of rust after mixing with old world residues, and after the decline of civilization The bloody breath of the weak and the strong is mixed together, breeding craziness and the desire to kill that twists and changes. The machines are spliced together with rusty but clunky metal materials, large engines with amazing horsepower, spiked shells, chainsaws, hooks or flamethrowers on combat vehicles, domineering boss cars, and of course there are The most weird design-a heavy metal punk military band consisting of a wild electric guitarist drumming team and an array of speakers! With this idea, he didn't even have the background music of his own rock Live show when he appeared on the stage. How embarrassed to call himself a big boss!
These hideous vehicles cooperate with the incredible combat methods, get rid of the shackles of car chasing and gunfights, and bring a different look and feel to the battle. There is no need to talk about the switching of the action scene. The assassin dropped from the sky on the long pole, and the explosive spear thrown by the javelinman is enough to be amazing. The mechanism that the protagonist matches is even more sophisticated. The manipulator and self-locking device with the heroine's talents, the front baffle that can open the way to extinguish the sand and extinguish the fire, is used to smuggle women in the dark room, which is even more surprising. Non-aggressive and delicate.
These weird or weird wasteland elements and steampunk aesthetics are mixed, in addition to attracting attention and complementing the characterization, they are also appropriately blended into the grand and magnificent environment background, making the whole world more composed. Unified picture. Thousands of miles of yellow sand, thousands of miles of blue sky, blue and yellow constitute the base color of the set. This strong contrast effect of the primary colors echoes and switches, the dark blue filter-effect sky on the continuous sand dunes, the oppressive earth-colored rock wall fortresses, and the stumbling black ghosts in the blue night sky curtain of the dead oasis, with a trace of blood. The faint yellow sandstorm, like a paint bucket-like composition of large color blocks, constantly hints at the desolation of the wasteland world, and mocks the fate of the fate.
And it seems that only in such a color and world can there be fallen heroes, undercover female generals, confused teenagers, young women rushing to freedom, women and veterans looking for the future, such a weak group, facing flying In the sand and dust, the uproarious and insane thugs fight for the right to freedom, return after victory, and then forget about each other. The moment that huge trailer carrying people and hope ran around in the long space of Shahai, it seemed to be the momentary possession of the Western hero Doomsday Kuanghua and the passers-by outside the Longmen Inn.
