The film is addressing the fact that humans can be reduced to nothing more but an object, an means to an end, a tool. Max gets reduced to a blood bag used for a blood transfusion, women are used for milking and breeding. The rest of the population work as slaves to Joe, they are just cogs in the machine keeping Joe alive. From time to time he rewards with a supply of water. Ultimately the film is about standing up against oppression and attempting to set things right. No one is anybody’s property.
This actually might be surprising for many people who are not familiar with Miller’s work. All his films feature some sort of social commentary and subtly putting these messages into an action film is simply a stroke of a genius, which elevates the action genre to new heights.
Mad Max: Fury Road is one of those films, where you leave your jaw by the door of the cinema and pick it up after the film is over. If you need to get your dose of adrenaline and you aren’t exactly into bungee jumping then this is the film for you. This film changes everything about the way you look at films and not just action ones, all genres. Redefining every story structure, exposition techniques, action sequences, characters’ introductions, gender roles – just simply everything about this film is an feat to admire. Long Live Miller!
This horror movie-inspired virtual pinball table is a bloody good time (sorry).

Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of attending the premiere of Bad Boys 4: Ride or Die with my ride-or-die best mates, and let me tell you, it was one of the most fun cinema experiences of the year! From the quality of the movie to the electrifying vibe of the cinema, everything about the night was extraordinary. The communal laughter, the spontaneous shouting at the screen—it was an experience that almost rivalled having an entire cinema to myself.
Amazing film! Hope it will make enough money so we get another trilogy
