What makes this film unique, is it the story, is it aesthetics, or is it furiosa?

Sometimes I think about a question, why a film can give people a sense of freshness and novelty, so as to attract people to watch the film and get good reviews. The appeal of this story includes the following: a female hero, tight storyline, fantastic background, and unique aesthetics.

What story does the movie tell? A powerful but evil organization, one of whom wanted to get rid of or pursue justice, went through all kinds of difficulties, and finally overthrew the evil rule and became a well-deserved hero. From the general point of view of the story, it is actually very cliché, but surprises are often produced in clichés.

If the person is a man, we can imagine many similar movies, and the freshness is a little worse. But the protagonist is a woman, and the decision to kill is not bad at all. Coupled with Theron's appearance and wonderful performance, a heroine leaps to the screen. From a similar perspective, it might be a good idea if the villain boss is a woman and can portray this person more flesh and blood.

Other points, needless to say, everyone who feels it understands their own feelings, especially the aesthetic value, and it does not need to be all expressed in words. After all, if words can express everything, what is the value of other art carriers such as movies?
