Apocalyptic Wasteland: Not the Progenitor

1. The pioneering work of the Mad Max series. The director abandoned the doctor and became a guide. The cost is only 350,000 U.S. dollars, and the box office madly grabs 8 million. Even at the time, it was a standard low-cost film, and the cost affected the director's performance, and it was still a classic film.

2. It is said to be the originator of the apocalyptic wasteland style (although the macro setting was only disclosed in the second part), many works including "Fist of the North Star" imitated Max.

3. The plot is very simple, but the film was released in 1979, and today's audience can no longer feel the attack power that cannot be underestimated at that time.

4. The government is powerless, bandits are rampant, and Australia is desolate. A man in a police uniform claims to be a righteous man. He gallops through the grasslands and deserts of Australia. He is finally driven to madness by the speeding crime group and then destroys the other side. (To tell the truth about the geographical environment of Australia is really suitable for this style)

5. In 1979, the reality was absurd, and Europe and the United States were digesting the thoughts of the 60s. Homosexuality, crime, despair, and chaos are all reflected in this movie.

6. Revenge, revenge. Constantly stretching the camera, roads, V8s, motorcycles, firearms, cold weapons, wind.

    1. I didn't see it as a sci-fi movie. 2. The female radio voice is very similar to that of Borderlands. 3. The wife is beautiful and brave. 4. The choice of Uncle Chainsaw at the end.

    I keep driving and driving, crashing and crashing, it can be clearly seen that the car is made of cardboard, it is too rough

Mad Max quotes

  • [last lines]

    Johnny the Boy: [Max limps away after handcuffing Johnny to the car, leaking gas next to a fire] You're *mad*, man! You think I look silly, don't ya? Ha, ha! Don't bring this on me, man!

    [sobbing]

    Johnny the Boy: Don't do this to me, please! Aw, Sweet Jesus! I was sick! Don't bring this on me, please!

  • Max: I just can't get it clear in my head, Jess. He was so full of living, you know? He ran a franchise on it. Now there's nothing. And here I am trying to put sense to it, when I know there isn't any.
