So we see that from the very beginning Nietzsche frames the Genealogy of Morals in the light of his worries concerning the self-awareness of those supposed to be the “learned ones”. In this, genealogy’s positive aspect emerges, as we can appreciate how Nietzsche’s work is driven by the desire of presenting these men of knowledge with their lack of self-awareness, as well as with the tool to overcome it. In this respect, my understanding is that the “beehives of our knowledge” are an image and…

Australian director George Miller’s 2015 blockbuster, ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’, is an action filled, post-apocalyptic film. The Mad Max universe is a set in a stark, desert landscape filmed in Namibia, with an oil and water crisis, which forces humanity to revert back to a state of war and isolation. One of the main characters, Max is captured by the “war boys” who live in the Citadel run by tyrannical Immortan Joe, and eventually finds Furiosa and her rig. In the ‘Furiosa’ scene, he attempts to…

Cinematic films have been around for many years and served as entertainment for society. Many of the blockbuster movies consisted of an apocalyptic setting that predicted the fate of the future. We felt obsessed with these movies because of our endless curiosity about what the future holds. I for one watch apocalyptic films because each of them involve an interesting prediction of how our world will come to an end. Whether it is a zombie attack that infects everyone or if the water from the…

In contrast to Offred, Furiosa does not accept her patriarchy’s rule. Immortan Joe’s rule does not necessarily oppress women as a whole like the Republic of Gilead. Most of the people under his rule are peasant men and women. These peasants, while treated horribly through Immortan Joe’s inhumane control of the freshwater supply, seem to be treated equally. However, Immortan Joe does treat his five wives as property. Furiosa does not stand for this, and she actually fights back. Furiosa was…

raised plant bed is elevated and sits higher than the its surrounding ground. Many things can interrupt the ability of plant growth in a raised garden bed: materials, bugs, and even the products that are being used. To some extent, we can control how strong we want our plants to grow. The most modern stage in the development of plant bed design today for raised beds filled with fast draining planting mix, which are ideal growing environments for vegetables. Therefore, using a deeper plant bed…

Many of us have wondered how a post-apocalyptic world would look like. Our imagination makes us think of a desolated and uncivilized world produced by a natural catastrophe or a nuclear war. I have always been interested in understanding visually how our world would look like in one hundred or even a million years from now, which I certainly won’t live to see. Fortunately, many movie producers have produced significantly realistic-seeming depictions of how the earth would appear. One movie that…

Mad Max: Not Your Average Action Film Mad Max: Fury Road directed and written by George Miller, is not your average action movie; it is the grandest of grand action movies. The film is fantastically crazy, chaotic, fast paced, and portrays a driven message with outstanding visuals. George Miller revamps the franchise with a brilliant writing and direction. If you're not into action, then this film is not for you plain and simple. What makes an action movie good, besides a decent plot? Mad Max…

George Miller's Mad Max Fury Road has proven there is still hope for summer blockbusters. Even though it has been over 3 decades since Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, the movie doesn't falter. In fact, since it has had 3 decades to hone and refine itself; Fury Road is better than its predecessors. The fantastical, gritty Mad Max has more depth than a surface analysis would expect. The choreography, directing, style, plot, acting and effects all combine together to create a masterpiece, or at the…
