I saw a seemingly interesting poster on the side wall of the theater more than a month ago. About two weeks ago, I watched the trailer that seemed to be pretty good. Only two days ago I noticed that IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacrtic were not too high. It was too normal to score, until yesterday I finally saw the positive film-after sitting back in the seat and straightening the chin, um, the score does not deceive me. In
a movie theater where the air conditioner is turned on to below 24 degrees all the year round , I spent the two hottest and heartiest hours of the year.

Stunning. This is the vocabulary for the first impression of the movie and the most personal feeling that can be obtained after the aftertaste.

Although it seems a bit exaggerated, if you are a fan of any type of action film, science fiction film, western film, and road film, this movie can at least satisfy your expectations; if you are concerned about apocalyptic complex, wasteland, steampunk and heavy metal If you have additional preferences, don’t miss it; do you like Borderlands and Fallout? Please buy tickets now.

Mad Max: Road to Fury is the fourth part of the Mad Max series, but it has been thirty years away from the third part. The previous works have basically the same settings, the same director George Miller and starring Mel Gibson. Although I haven't seen the first three works, there is no threshold for this work, and the background setting is very simple: in the not-too-distant future, the nuclear war caused by scarcity of water resources destroyed human civilization, and the survivors survived in the harsh environment. , The different gangs they formed became the dominators on the wasteland, and the gang leaders enslaved the civilians by brainwashing and controlling resources.

The protagonist Max is one of the few free people in this world that has returned to the era of the weak and the strong. He suffered mental torture for failing to protect his loved ones in this barbaric land. He was also captured by a gang named War Boys. "Blood bag" became a slave who provided blood for the War Boys. The gang’s deputy, Fliosa, rebelled and tried to lead the wives of the leader of the gang back to the oasis where he was born. Max escaped and formed an alliance with him during the escape and pursuit. Max’s donor and recipient, Nax Also probation and defection. When the group arrived at Fliosa's homeland after all the hardships, they found that the homeland had disappeared, and Max finally convinced everyone to fight back, and finally completed the blockade and rescued the people.

The story is very traditional, and there is nothing wrong with the storytelling. A dead hero leads his companions to turn from defense to offense, overthrowing the violent gang that dominates one side, and that's it. However, the angular characters, the coexisting setting and description of weather and details, fill this ordinary story with completely different temperament, which is refreshing.

The role of Max is starred by the popular newcomer Tom Hardy. Hardy's resolute face and silhouette and taciturn performance perfectly fit the image of Max's bitter tough guy. This seems to be somewhat similar to another well-known role that Hardy has played before, the Batman in the Rise of the Dark Knight. In this film, Max also wears a metal mask like Bain after being captured as a slave. Although it may be a coincidence, I clearly feel the director’s malice...

as the protagonist’s monologue said. Max is living in the torment of the present and the past. This once valiant and righteous policeman has been polished away. In the world of the restoration of the law of the jungle, only survival is the creed. As for the heroes, saving the United States, human rights, justice, etc., they have nothing to do with themselves in the face of the big issue of survival. If the heroine Frioosa had set up a locking device in the car, Max, who had escaped from birth, would have long gone. Even if you want to run together, let me go with Lao Tzu's halter first, or else we won't talk about it.

There is a story in Shi Shuo Xin Yu. Hua Xin and Wang Lang took refuge in a boat. They wanted to rely on them to travel together. Hua Xin disagreed. Wang Lang said: There is still room, why not? After the robbers chased him, Wang Lang wanted to leave the boat rider. Hua Xin objected: I was hesitant at first because I was worried about this situation. But since he has been put on the boat, how can he abandon him because of the critical situation! The world judged Huaxin Wang Lang as superior to others, and as a real man, Max had to choose Huaxin's path.

So even if Max and the women's gang proudly said at first that I was forced to be helpless, once the companion had trouble, Max would definitely go through fire and water without saying a word. The film's line-drawing of the male protagonist can be described as a pity, even when it comes to life and death decisions, it is just a flashback, followed by Max cleanly picking up the gun and taking the girls back all the way. Even without a mask, Hardy's Max has no extra facial expressions compared to Bain, and a look is meaningful. Such a man, if he is good enough to get it done, is just an ending-turning around and disappearing among the crowd, hiding his merit and fame deeply.

The heroine Fliosa, starred by Theron, constitutes another focus. The queen of Theron was really upright, and the devil was able to do it, so what a shave to be a man. Fliosa, who was taken captive from her hometown when she was a child, came to the top of the power in the gang of men. With her mother-killing wrath and thoughts, Frioosa tried to use the opportunity of expedition to return to herself. In his hometown, take away the girls who were used by the gang boss as a fertility tool.

With a well-planned plan and Max's great assistance, Frioosa made a bloody path in the chase and interception. The wise and brave female warrior never expected that the homeland she had not seen for many years, the oasis belonging to many mothers, had been turned into a quagmire of death by pollutants. For the first time in many years, Friosha, whose hope was shattered, wept bitterly. I wanted to pin the last bargaining chip on the malpractice of the remote salt desert, but Max's proposal once again ignited the annihilated hope. Fliosa was eventually rescued by Max's blood transfusion and became the new leader of the gang. At the end of the film, the relationship between the two is also neatly ended in seeing each other, but she must also know that Max has not only continued her life.

Of course, the other women in the film undoubtedly support most of the sky. The survivors of the mother tribe are always strong and strong, all of them are brave and combative guerrillas. They use their lives to complete the continuation of the tribal spirit and win the future for their descendants. And the young girls who are the wives of the gang leaders, the white yarns that flow freely like sand and the long-legged jade arms that shine like the desert sun, the scenery that suddenly changed the style of the film at the beginning of the debut is not simply The role of the vase: It’s natural to help with a bullet and repair a car. Reconnaissance and anti-brainwashing ideological education are also necessary skills. If the bullet scratches the magic horse, it is too lazy to cry, just a bag. The girls even took the feminist slogan of refusal to materialize as a creed toward freedom and wrote them on the walls of their cages.

Nicholas Holt's War Boy Nachs is a symbol of innocence. Because he was brainwashed by authoritarianism and wanted to exchange death for glory, he failed the mission by mistake, was brainwashed by the red-haired girl Capable, and finally gave up his life for justice. This role change is one of the few things in the film that makes me feel a bit blunt. Actually this is not important. Please take a good look at the half-naked, white-skinned Holt, this Narcissus is here to brush his looks, okay?

The villains who stand on the opposite side of the protagonist appear as big bosses and miscellaneous soldiers, with crazy blood running in their veins. As the incarnation of absolute dominance, several bizarre leaders, including the undead old Joe, are actually masked barbarian tyrants. On the one hand, they participated in the hunt to punish rebellion, and more to regain their health as a fertility machine. woman. Although the continuation of ethnic health in the post-radiation era is indeed a tribal event, it is also somewhat of an allegory as the negative target of feminism in the current situation.

As an action movie with sci-fi elements, the more fascinating highlight is the amazing detail setting and perfect display. The overhead world of the Apocalypse era after the nuclear war has always been talked about by science fiction fans: the social order reorganized after chaos, the barren land full of radiation, the remnants of human beings with distorted body and spirit, and the ruins of devastated civilization. This work inherits the settings of the series, but uses more advanced special effects technology to outline a more broken and crazy world with more impact.

The horrible refugees, the white-skinned new-generation War Boys, the nurses who specialize in milk production (the future of the supermodel maiden army), and the tribal bosses covered with abscesses or cellulite, they have one like a freak show. This kind of mysterious atmosphere with heavy taste and curiosity directly defines the crazy soil visually. The berserker has a skull totem on the back of his neck, roars and launches an offensive, sprays his mouth full of silver paint to complete a suicide attack and he can rise to the hall of worship. The leader is like a god, and the captives are used as slaves and blood bags. The madness has undoubtedly followed The tribal primitive violent impulse and idolatry entered the blood.

The various vehicles appearing in the film are even more whimsical, and they are more like the reappearance of the B-level film style of the predecessors in the 1970s and 1980s, exuding a rough texture and the smell of stained rust after mixing old world residues, and after the decline of civilization The bloody breath of the weak and the strong food is mixed together, breeding the craziness and the desire to kill that twists and changes. The machines are spliced ​​together with rusty but clunky metal materials, large engines with amazing horsepower, spiked shells, chainsaws, hooks or flamethrowers on combat vehicles, domineering boss cars, and of course there are The most weird design-a heavy metal punk military band composed of wild electric guitarist drumming team and speaker array! With this idea, he didn't even have the background music for his own rock Live performance. How embarrassed to call himself a big boss!

These hideous vehicles cooperate with the incredible combat methods, get rid of the shackles of car chasing gun battles, and bring a different look and feel to the battle. There is no need to talk about the switching of the action scene. The assassin dropped from the sky on the long pole, and the explosive spear thrown by the javelinman is enough to be amazing. The mechanism that the protagonist matches is even more sophisticated. The manipulator and self-locking device with deep ingenuity of the heroine, the front baffle that can open the way and extinguish the sand, and the darkroom used to smuggle women, is even more surprising. Non-aggressive and delicate.

These strange or strange wasteland elements and steampunk aesthetics, in addition to attracting attention and complementing the portrayal of the characters, are appropriately integrated into the grand and magnificent environment background, making the whole world more composed. Unified picture. Thousands of miles of yellow sand, thousands of miles of blue sky, blue and yellow constitute the base color of the set. The strong contrast effect of this pair of primary colors echoes and switches, the dark blue filter-effect sky on the continuous sand dunes, the oppressive earth-colored rock wall fortresses, and the staggering black ghosts in the blue night sky curtain of the dead oasis, with a trace of blood. The faint yellow sandstorm, like a paint bucket-like composition of large color blocks, constantly hints at the desolation of the wasteland world, and mocks the fate of the fate.

And it seems that only in such a color and world can there be fallen heroes, undercover women, confused teenagers, young women going to freedom, women and veterans looking for the future, such a weak group of people, come face to face For those thugs who have noisy and mentally disordered in the flying sand and dust, they will fight for the right to freedom, return after victory, and forget stories like the rivers and lakes. The moment the giant trailer carrying people and hope was running around in the long space of Shahai, it seemed to be possessed by the Western hero Doomsday Crazy Flower and the passers-by outside the Longmen Inn.

    Seeing that they were drowsy and felt sleepy several times. Because of the hatred of the Metal Party in this life, one star is deducted.

    That group of models came from the ladies' house show, the burlap white gauze wrapped their private parts, the wheat-colored skin was shining in the sun, and the front of the car was playing the guitar. The guys have not been killed. Isn't it rock and roll? Hahahaha
