    Wowzers. Not a lot I can say that wouldn't be echoing what's already been said. Couple thoughts...

    - Through the whole film I kept thinking how completely bungled this wouldve been in any other directors hands.
    - I heard Max only has seven lines. Sure he doesnt talk much, but he talked way more than that it seemed.
    - I heard its a 2 hour car chase. Not true. Sure, theres a lot of car chase, but there are beautiful scenes of quiet and levity that balanced the film wonderfully. I was concerned about this notion because you have to have the calm to make the storm impactful or it can become just noise after a while...you need a breather for your adrenaline to reload. In that regard this was executed perfectly.

    Has Miller ever given any indication of a timeline in these films?
    "It’s sort of a revisit. The [previous] three films exist in no real clear chronology, because they were always conceived as different films."

    As far as Miller is concerned, Mad Max is the origin story, but the other three are totally separate movies that happen to share the Max character, but there's no before or after between them.
    Quote Quoting Donald Glover
    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Also, if there was one single use of profanity/swearing, I didnt hear it. I kind of like that.

    There wasn't.

    The whole myth/legend idea, and how the back three films are people narrating stories, makes me wonder about the implications of Max being the narrator this time around, and if that's why he seems a supporting character to Furiosa.

    Speaking of flashbacks, did anyone else find it odd that this one quick shot was also featured?



    This is the one from Mad Max 1979 when a character meets a sudden demise. Not sure why this should be included and from the perspective of Hardy's Max.
    I don't think anyone responded to you so I will.

    Yes, I noticed it immediately. I believe that was The Toecutter's final moment, and unless I'm mistaken they repeated that effect for the Lord Humongous in part two. It has been a while since I've watched one and two though.

    Max drops an F bomb. When he's tethered to the front of the car, he says something like "first they took my blood, now they have my fucking car!" It's during one of the aforementioned moments when dialogue clarity was not a focus.

    What other action blockbusters are there that feel as singularly the work of their creator as this one? Pacific Rim, maybe?

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Some less pleasant examples being:
    Michael Bay.
    War of the Worlds.
    Mission Impossible 2.

    As evident the director's styles are in those, if Winston is thinking like me, the idea was more about blockbusters that feel almost as if they sprang fully formed from the mind of the director, from story to themes to aesthetics.

    Maybe Minority Report is one. Although it was darker than his usual, it had some of the most intense paternal baggage of any of the 'berg's films, and that's saying something.

    The whole Cannes conference was pretty cool, actually. Has anyone posted the link yet?

    At one point Miller explained that he asked his film editor wife, who had only edited Babe 2 and Happy Feet, to cut the film to give is a distinct feel from the usual action film editing.

    A lot of "Oh yeah, people actually think this way" moments surrounding the release of this movie.
