A Foreign Film Review on Mad Max: Fury Road
By Ejy Emerenciana
It has been thirty years since Mad Max movies was created. Luckily, director George Miller created a masterpiece we never thought we needed. In this Academy-Award winning film, our perspective on dystopian movies will change as Mad Max: Fury Road shows an exemplary execution on how it should be.
In a stark desert landscape where humanity is extinct and people are on the brink of insanity fighting for the basic necessities in life, two protagonists began to rebel in hopes of changing the barbaric civilization.

In the movie, there was a question people were asking, “Who Killed the World?”
The answer was relatively implied which was the oppressive ruling of Joe who abuses his powers by using women as breeders, kids trained to be war boys and ordinary people dying of thirst and famine. Furiosa, Max and the Wives did find utopia but realized that they need to reform the civilization they come to know.
Mad Max: Fury Road didn’t win best in costume for nothing; their attires were striking and lives up to their movie title, mad. From cinematography to stunts, this movie was brilliantly well done. The only flaws that I managed to see were the plot, some people complained that this movie has no plot but I think they did not see the abstract message it was trying to convey. Next was Imperator Furiosa being the main character more than Max.
Despite, being an action-packed film, it doesn’t disregard the emotion and message. I am now looking forward for more George Miller films if he creates more movies like this. Mad Max: Fury Road is a mad, insane goose chase and it is a definite Oscar-worthy
