Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Heavy event experience, causing mental suffering.
B. Thesis Statement:
Solid and distinct line running through the entire film, at times, with the elements of this drama. Not much, but catchy. The first fact is the use of people as objects evoke disgust and aversion. The second - the main characters were both prisoners now run, coupled with rebellion against the system makes the experience for them. The third death of a pregnant woman - it was a pity, she is very strong and brave. Hooked. Then move "Man Zombie" from fanaticism to Joe to support main characters - made commendable about-face, a little pity was when killed. Fourth himself dying world. Smear, but catchy. Not to say that it is a masterpiece, but the film is strong. For an action movie, which is more trash, solid four-plus.
C. Reasoning:
Haunted by the ghosts of a troubled past, Max convinced that the best way to survive - to wander alone. Despite this, he joins the rebels, fleeing across the desert to battle wagon, under the leadership of Commander Furioso. They are trying to escape from the Citadel, suffering from the tyranny Joe, whom they took away something very valuable. Enraged commander throws all his forces in pursuit of the rebels, walking on the road of war - road rage.
Post-apocalyptic future, futuristic cars, tattered clothes, desert landscapes of Namibia and Australia, mutilated women, fanatics, a lot of explosions, fierce fighting, killing pregnant and even electric guitar, is ejected in a fire, what is there not in the "Mad Max: Fury Road"! And in 2015 he published the long-awaited sequel, which is designed to correct the mistakes. From the first minutes of the film immerses you in a mad world, besides making it a breakneck pace that no matter how many did not slow down, causing the picture is not slack. The desert, the soldiers albino and all aspects of the apocalypse.
The main character played by Tom Hardy is captured where it is pumped out of the blood. In parallel, Fyurioza (Charlize Theron) makes a few girls from the evil tyrant who fertilized them, to prolong their own kind. The tyrant himself than it is sick, keep at a pack of more women to get breast milk. As a result, Fyurioza truck travels outside the city, which is ruled by the same tyrant, and moving away from the proposed course, provokes the villain to the chase. Then he begins. The same action. Action insane. Huge machines, which are hitched flamethrowers, machine guns, spikes and powerful engines provide dynamic scenes. Crazy stunts, explosions, grinding metal and, of course, everyone's favorite blind guitarist create an unforgettable picture of entourage. The soundtrack is the beat of the action, that is, to give strength or display of the incredible trick play its proper melody instruments or strokes. It seems that it should be in a normal action movie, but then it gets into your ears. The music is similar to the second part of the Terminator.
In addition to the well-staged action, we note entourage. Excellent make-up characters, sand, heat, fire, violence, leaving hope for a normal life, and other quirks create the atmosphere of the apocalypse.
D: Summation:
Comprehending the universe of Mad Max (I confess, a trilogy with Gibson was not looking), I went through several stages: curiosity, a certain hostility, a desire to participate. At first, a mixture of sand, sweat and blood strain, and then you are so keen on all that the batch with the pursuit of what you like heroes, not to white-collar workers. Amaze imagination thoughtful details of life of inhabitants of the Citadel, army, combat vehicles, unexpected images of heroes. The film - a chase, but it does not get bored, because the action is accompanied by spectacular stunts, strange and funny jokes, beautiful female characters, and music to match. This is the real drama.
A. Methodology: PRODUCTION
Development and shooting the picture.
B. Thesis Statement:
The film naturally has received numerous awards, including six awards "Oscar" for the best installation, the work of the art director, costumes, makeup, sound and sound editing. All this is part of the production and proves its most appreciated.
C. Reasoning:
When George Miller decided to return to the world of Mad Max with his new Dear Fury, director started a long period of development, during which there were several false starts. The culmination of this period occurred in the Namib Desert, where shooting took place in the six months long. During the shooting, John Force, the operator, using multiple cameras to capture stunning tricks with more than 150 cars, conceived by designer Colin Gibson, and then powered and broken through the efforts of the key commands, including the heads of special effects Andy Williams and Dan Oliver, as well as the head of Guy Norris stunt. But shooting in the desert and the subsequent shooting in Sydney were only half the history of insane stunts and post-apocalyptic landscape, "Road Rage". Hundreds of visual effects have spent a lot of time to create more than 2,000 visual effects and helping to transform the original footage in the final film. Also on staff working colorist Eric Uipp, putting a lot of effort into the sky, that it is detailed and unique.
Stone rocks in the desert, known to us as the Citadel, were created by the combination of the photos from Namibia, Sydney and visual effects, the work of the studio Ilora. Also, the studio based on actual elevations, photographed in Australia. There are scenes when Joe refers to the population, as well as when he opens the pipe with water, had to work especially hard. All that was true - it's four guys and pumping mechanisms. Everything else was created with the help of graphics technology.
At the site of the shooting was an old quarry, which was decided to use as a thumbnail picture for the future. The team was allowed to blow it up. It was decided to remove a real blast to frame look more realistic.
The decision to shoot in the desert has brought new challenges in the form of unpredictable background, which literally changed from frame to frame. Therefore, work on the air was quite laborious. It was necessary to make the background remained relatively stable and not be distracted by events in the foreground. Also, the sky had to be post-apocalyptic, and therefore require treatment. Adds problems and foggy atmosphere that reigns in the desert in the morning. It prevents lift beautiful and clear images. Well, the fog dissipated in the evening and the sky became perfectly blue. Therefore, it is necessary to make sure that in one scene the sky was the same, because the shooting took place throughout the day. The team constantly monitors the state of the sky and tried to shoot when it was relatively stable. But since most of the sky was almost white, work has been a little easier on him.
Even before the shooting, it was clear that the film would require a lot of visual processing, so it was decided to hire a team of experts. And it gave excellent results, as the film looks amazing. We think that you yourself have seen the tremendous work done guys, working on visual effects.
D: Summation:
Yes, the film is one big chase with rare and brief respite. Yes scenario straight, simple and dialogue about the fate of the universe, humanity, and all in general. But this is not a disadvantage - it is the dignity of the movie. Between the chases we simply and completely available to explain what actually happen. And after the explanation - again forward into danger and adventure, without reducing the heating! "We are at point A, we need to point B - driven '- that's what I, as a viewer, I like! Here's what touches me! And "Mad Max" makes it to the fullest! Full blade head.
"Mad Max" became popular because of its car stunts that really well devised, filmed and submitted to the plot. There are many unexpected, wild moments that deliver an absolutely unknown pleasure. This is rarely seen in Hollywood movies.
A. Methodology: AUTEUR
A filmmaker whose personal influence and artistic control over a movie.
B. Thesis Statement:
Mad Max, has become a benchmark of the genre and a cult franchise. And now, as you know, it has become fashionable to return to the screens cult franchise than Miller and started holding it, where to begin.
C. Reasoning:
Australian director George Miller, famous throughout all world, removed the 1979 film "Mad Max." This movie, in which entertainment, action took up most of the screen time, marked by great success. First of all, a very small budget of 350 000 dollars was surpassed at the box office nearly 286 times, the painting itself has received a cult status, while still very young performer starring Mel Gibson road to Hollywood was opened. Later, Miller expanded his plan to complete the trilogy, which has become a kind of world cinema legend, it is still quoted and that it inspired many writers. Since the release of the third film has been more than thirty years, until the big screens at last came the long-awaited sequel, having bulky subtitle "road rage."
You can just safely say that Miller is not only justified, but also surpassed all expectations. New "Mad Max" was a spectacle of fun, fierce, driving and incendiary. Remember the legendary chase scene at the end of the second "Max"? To be honest, most of the new film made with an eye to the exact scene. Cinema lightning starts and rushes through the story at breakneck speed, stopping very briefly to give the viewer a little breath. There is constantly something explodes, scattering debris, cars crash into each other at the time as a guitarist on the stage, attached to a huge wagon, playing rock guitar, emitting fire. And most importantly, that all this is done live, with a minimum of computer graphics.
D: Summation:
A. Methodology: GENRE
The work is characterized by one or another plot and stylistic features.
B. Thesis Statement:
Action, fantasy or adventure? In this genre, a film based on his mad dynamics for me is unprecedented (at least for now). The director managed to make trips to the desert in armored cars something crazy in its cruelty and tempo. This is evidenced by even the beginning of the film, where Max runs through the corridors of the citadel. Usually, in such scenes occasionally there comes a time of respite, and the event will boost the stronger the closer the final. But it's not about this masterpiece. Here you are on the Soul Plane speed repeatedly bump into a frenzied and terrible reality of a post-apocalyptic world where no place for fairy tales and hope. In places where the main value was a man, but only as a commodity, as a means of obtaining the necessary - procreation, clean the blood, and so on..
C. Reasoning:
On the one hand, we have an incredible road movie in a unique and rare subgenre, and on the other hand, it shows everything that can be in it. If we move forward - get fantastic if ago - "Mad Max 2". Whatever you want to create in the genre, you will still be rested in one of the "Mad Max", because they take it all, and the new film shows a certain limit. That's the problem. After watching the new "BM" you want something else such as a steep and rapid. And nothing will happen. There are imitators will be fans, but I am sure that very few people will get exactly the same road on which Miller rides with ease.
I must say (although it was by all accounts and reviews it is clear) that he lifted the bar for everyone. After all, if you look at the current fighters, it can be said that the genre box office blockbuster gradually sinking into the abyss. Since those movies that came out this year, for example, to put it mildly, do not roll. "Fast & Furious" is no longer a pleasure, rather boredom leads. "The Avengers", frankly, pop all the weight of a known substance. In general, there is nothing to surprise the audience today. There are, of course, exceptions, but they are too few.
D: Summation:
Unequivocal masterpiece in its genre, and the triumphant return of George Miller on the big screens. Not for a single view, for many parts, flying in front of the audience at an incredible speed, you can not see the first time. Should I watch this movie? Definitely see if a genre close to you, but if not, it is possible to refrain from watching. But the rest will be pleasantly surprised, but what is really there, amazed by what he saw, leaving the cinema hall under incredible impression with the roar of engines and the screech threatening crazy cars in the ears!
