Just back from seeing #Furiosa. It’s a very different film from #FuryRoad in structure and pacing (Fury Road is peak “chase movie”, Furiosa is an epic decades-spanning revenge tale) but it’s as visually sumptuous and audacious as anything Miller has ever directed. 100% worth seeing on a big screen while you can.
D'un côté je trouve ça courageux d'avoir fait un film aussi différent de #FuryRoad, que ce soit en terme de narration, de structure, de rythme, et même d'esthétique. Pour le meilleur ou pour le pire, on retrouve dans Furiosa un style visuel proche du précédent film de Miller, "3000 Years of Longing".
They turned #MadMax into a Disney-Marvel like crap. No rhythm, no cool design, no blood, not metal at all. After loving #FuryRoad more than any other movie of its decade, this #Furiosa is SO disappointing. The only movie of the whole saga that is boring and slow.
4/4/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.
Concept Art Book Alert!
I remember "The Road Warrior" new in 1981, watching his "Mad Max," origin on VHS, then meeting Auntie Entity & Master-Blaster to go "Beyond Thunderdome" in '85... A 4-yr journey to an apocalypse. It took 5x as long to get to "Fury Road." Now, 9 yrs later, catch up with their world before seeing the Max-less origin of "Furiosa!"
Name a film you've seen that left you with the thought, "This is art." If you want to explain why it made you feel that way, that would be pretty cool of you.
Thing about the Mad Max movies is all the vehicles are analogue. Pretty much all modern vehicles are entirely reliant on electronics. The more time passes, the less likely a Mad Max future becomes. The vehicles might survive a nuclear apocalypse but the electronics wouldn't.
