The world collapsed, leaving only an endless desert.
Water and oil, the last resources of mankind.
Human nature shows its most unbearable side in the face of the apocalypse.
In fact, there are not a few doomsday movies, such as "Doomsday Virus" (2009), "Doomsday" (2009), "The Book of Elie" (2010) and so on. The theme of doomsday itself is not new, but why Mad Max 4 can stand out from it and make a "blood road", then, let me tell you in detail.
What are the characteristics of other doomsday movies?
In the editor's opinion, the depiction of human nature in the past doomsday movies will be more inclined to the portrayal of the characters' hearts, and the overall tone of the movie is also inclined to be dim, which highlights the loneliness of the survivors under the apocalypse. In general, It can be summarized as being more "introverted" and "introverted". The audience will not feel very deep when watching the movie, but after the movie is over, the sadness of the end will slowly penetrate into their hearts.
Why Mad Max: Fury Road stands out
On the other hand, Mad Max 4, uncharacteristically, "externalizes" the conflict between characters in the apocalypse to the extreme, and elevates the visual effect. The battle scene between the protagonist and the villain is very hot, and the smell of gunpowder overflows the screen! Fill the viewing experience directly! ! It simply and rudely hit the audience's eyeballs, making people hooked! Too tm cool!
Introduction
The background of the story is that after the nuclear war, human civilization was completely destroyed, and the last human survivors struggled to survive.
Doomsday ruler Undead Joe controls precious water resources and uses "fertilizers" to continuously give birth to children for himself. These children are turned white due to the influence of nuclear radiation, and they are cruelly turned into cold war machines by Joe and let them drive. Equip your chariot to search for resources and expand your dominion at any cost.
Under the rule of Undead Joe, the survivors who were already struggling to survive were even more desperate.
The actor Max (played by Venom Tom Hardy), a former highway patrol officer, lost his family in the chaos and just wanted to find peace in the doomsday. He was taciturn but hot-tempered, and after being tortured, he couldn't believe that there was still a trace of kindness and compassion in his heart.
The heroine Fury Ossa (Goddess of Charles Theron) is a commander under Joe's undead skill, but she is already tired of Joe's tyranny and wants to take the "fertilizers" back to their childhood hometown , because she firmly believes that there is a real oasis.
The female protagonist's performance in the film is no less than that of the male protagonist. The bald head is super sassy and fierce, and the mechanical arm is even more tenacious!
By the way, the actors in the movie "The Fertility" are all the world's top supermodels, and the long legs on the screen are not too seductive!
The most exciting part of the movie is the road scene, which runs through the entire movie, simply and rudely hitting the audience's eyeballs, which is really exciting!
I have to say that the art direction of the film, the aesthetics of the makeup and hair styling are absolutely stunning. Colors and collocations are used to highlight the characteristics of the characters, and the combination of fabrics and machinery is integrated into the theme of the apocalypse wasteland, which adds a lot to the film.
Excellent artistic performance made the film win ten Oscars including Best Art Direction, Additional Makeup and Hair Design in 2016.
The whole movie is just like its name "Furious Road" describes, it is crazy, whether it is the protagonist or the villain, it shows the capital "crazy" and "violence": the villain's "crazy" is a pathological pursuit of power, The decent "madness" is the last insistence on human nature in the apocalypse, and it is the "madness" who is desperate, looking for a way home after death.
As an audience, you can feel the inner struggle, resentment, and infinite yearning for the oasis of the protagonist through the extreme externalization of the film.
I was really shocked when I watched it for the first time, and then I watched it three times in succession, and every time I watched it, I had a new feeling and experience.
I believe that after reading it, you will be deeply fascinated by "violent aesthetics".
