Actually Max is not crazy

For the audience lords spoiled by "Quick Chase", the action elements of this movie are not satisfactory. There is no close hand-to-hand combat, and the car chase scene is just blindly racing and crashing, but considering the limitations of the technical environment at the time, these shots are all real shots, and they are really amazing. I think the atmosphere is the biggest attraction of this film. The atmosphere of the whole film is very weird, eerie and even scary. As Max said, "Stay a little longer on this road, and I myself will become a madman like the Speeding Party." Since I first watched the fourth part, I experienced the wasteland world of the Max series, and then I looked back. Looking at the first part, I feel a little bit dazed. The wasteland of the future was so idyllic in the past. The pity that this contrast brings me is the strongest emotional value when I watch the entire film. The tone of each character in the film has a strong wasteland style-strangely rigid, as if everyone's heart is empty. Is it just the speeding party that is crazy? I feel that everyone in the film's worldview is on the verge of mental breakdown. The resource crisis and the collapse of order implied from time to time in the film are like the cracks on the dam before the breach of the dyke, which makes people anxious and uneasy. The 1970s and 1980s were the most rebellious and empty years in Western society and the entire world. A series of energy crises and economic stagnation caused people to panic. The chaos and uncertainty of society were full of negative energy and lack of faith. In this era, a group of extreme criminal organizations, the Speeding Party, were born. They rode motorcycles and wore leather jackets and engaged in drug trafficking, extortion and extortion. Although people hate the Speeding Party, in reality they can only take a detour. How people long for a hero-like character to come forward and teach these bastards. "Mad Max" came into being, and it can be regarded as catering to the likes and dislikes of the audience. The film earned a box office of 100 million US dollars at the time-a few dollars can make Max beat the speeding party, why not do it? ? Action movies are cool, but if the action elements are not so cool, the director has to make up for it in other ways. Is Max really crazy? In the whole movie, Max is the closest to a normal person. Mad rather than mad as anger. Angry Max, angry audience. The angry Max slaughtered the last speeding party with cruel methods, and the film came to an abrupt end. Has Max's anger been released? No, as long as there are still things that make people angry in the real world, there will be thousands of Max in all kinds of action movies.
