I have been covering this film in its various forms for over 10 years, so apologies in advance but I have A LOT to say as we celebrate Mad Max: Fury Road’s fifth anniversary #ACMIWatches
Alright, rev ya engines & grease ya skulls, this is your 5min call for #ACMIWatches Mad Max: Fury Road. Sync your screens to the 0:00:09 mark so the Warner Bros Pictures logo appears like so
HERE WE GO! Hit play for #ACMIWatches Mad Max: Fury Road on its fifth anniversary babbbby
The audio montage gives you the briefest of explanations about what happened to create the dystopia we’ll soon step into but I appreciate they don’t spend too much time on it considering we’re 4 films & 36 years into the franchise by this point #ACMIWatches
Mad Max: Fury Road was really a pre-cursor to the rise of cli-fi (climate fiction, a sub-genre of sci-fi) which has surged in popularity in recent years as our doom seems more imminent #ACMIWatches
The unconventional opening credits (George Miller can do what he wants) tell us visually within the first minute what we’re about to learn: Tom Hardy’s Max is merely a passenger in this story & Charlize Theron’s Furiosa is the central driver #ACMIWatches
For the record, not only is Mad Max: Fury Road in my top 10 fav films of all time it’s my No.1 fav Australian film AND my fav flick we’ve covered during #ACMIWatches this year (which is saying a lot considering Birds Of Prey & Candyman were on that list)
Someone I’ve spoken to a lot over the years about this film is Colin Gibson, who won the Academy Award for production design with Lisa Thompson for their work on Mad Max: Fury Road #ACMIWatches
He’s the go-to guy for iconic Australian film cars – like Priscilla’s bus - even though he told me “frankly, I have about as much interest in cars as Vin Diesel has in reality” lol #ACMIWatches
But he’s a big believer in “caracters”: that is to say, vehicles infused with as much meaning & detail as human characters. It’s his attention to detail & fascination with car culture that results in every Mad Max ride feeling so unique #ACMIWatches
