For my film review I watched “Mad Max: Fury Road”. “Mad Max: Fury Road” was directed by George Miller and written by George Miller, Brendan McCarthy, and Nick Lathouris. This movie cost around $150,000,000 and it is understandable why. This movie was produced in 2015 and it was nominated for many awards. The most impressive of these nominations was Best Motion Picture of the Year. Although it did not win, a nomination for this award is a great accomplishment.

One is deformed and cannot do anything for himself while the other has trouble breathing like his father. Immortan Joe’s weakness are shown in the very beginning of the film. A young child is shown blowing dust on his horrible skin condition. After this servants put a plastic chest piece on to hide his skin and make him look like he has muscles to the common people. Then he puts on a mask to help him breathe. After all of these things his weaknesses are hidden and he gives a speech from very high up so he can not be seen in detail. Because of all these things Immortan Joe is depicted as an almighty immortal god to the people, despite all his weaknesses.
The ruler of gastown, The People Eater, also has problems. This is shown later in the film when Max jumps into his vehicle. After Max pulls out the driver, The People Eater is helpless to defend himself because he is overweight and has a clubfoot. He is so weak despite being called “The People Eater”. At the end of this scene he
