Civilization and Decline

Mad Max 3, the 1985 sequel.

The whole series of trilogy stories are set on the wasteland after the nuclear explosion. However, from the first sight of the three, I feel that the civilization after the nuclear explosion is gradually declining. The first Max is still living in the town, and there are dilapidated law enforcement. The second part has completely turned into yellow sand, and all parties compete for oil; and the resources in the third part have become biogas, the biogas formed by pig feces. The dwarves have the knowledge to produce energy and control the energy of the town. One of the questions the queen asked Max to sneak into the pig shit factory turned out to be: (Can you shit?) (Can you shovel) Will you produce shit? ?

After that, the duel between Max and Blaster in the iron cage was really refreshing to me. It was the first time I saw a duel with a yoyo rope. The audience climbed on the iron cage to watch the battle, and it was indeed the first time I saw it.

Then Max was driven out of the town and fell into the desert, where he was rescued by a few children and brought him to the oasis where they lived. A group of children mistakenly think that Max is their Captain XX, and want Max to lead them to Tomorrowland. The murals painted by the children in the valley, as well as the narration of the past, are very similar to the initial version of the mythology of prehistoric civilization, and very similar to the embryonic form of the birth of faith.

From Max's point of view, the oasis in the valley where the children live is a paradise in the wasteland, but the children in the paradise want to acquire knowledge and go to the world of tomorrow that they have in mind.

When the pilot in the third part appeared, I thought it was the small plane in the second part, and he was obviously an actor-.- I thought the captain in the children's mouth was the small plane, obviously the second small plane Leading the tribe to find the paradise in their hearts. But this big plane is not the second small plane, nor is it the captain of the child's mouth =.=

In the distance is the sunset that is about to go out. The characters walking on the desert are like silhouettes, and there are overlapping shadows that appear and disappear from time to time, as if telling the story of a hero who has passed away.

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome quotes

  • Bartertown Crowd: Two men enter, one man leave!

  • Dr. Dealgood: Listen all! This is the truth of it. Fighting leads to killing, and killing gets to warring. And that was damn near the death of us all. Look at us now! Busted up, and everyone talking about hard rain! But we've learned, by the dust of them all... Bartertown learned. Now, when men get to fighting, it happens here! And it finishes here! Two men enter; one man leaves.
