Is Mad Max: Fury Road the closest motion pictures have to offer as an art? The avant garde styling of both the characters and the setpieces seems to be something that the prop designers and stunt coordinators designers of today seem to avoid entirely.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is just a case of Fury Road being something of a pinnacle in both American art and American story telling. The themes of post-humanism as well as strength through unity seem so common and reoccurrent that I can't help but see it as, not only an instant-classic piece of film history, but as a piece of art to the world.
Why is it that NOTHING before had come close to matching the quality of MMFR's cinematography and writing? Is the mediocrity of today's American filmmaker because of their blatant lack of skill, or is Miller just among the greatest filmmakers of the world?
yeah it was a really good movie
saw it in theatres twice (but I saw Zootopia 4 times lol)

Oh god no. Batman V Superman is far superior than Fury Road.
Fury Road has no backstory, all the characters are bland, its just a pointless action film.
BvS has not only 10/10 cinematography but it has so many character subplots with so much going on.
Fury Road has nothing but
>MUH ACTION

I'd rather re watch age of ultron than Feminine Road where Max was reduced to a side character despite his name being in the title.

I laugh at you. All style, no substance. It was a wafer. Unfulfilling and pandering to the lowest common denominator known as society. A few explosions and gunshots here is all it needs to get the plebs dressed in patrician costumes going.
It's all a disaster.

This.
At least someone is awake and sees the truth of what Fury Road is: a bland popcorn flick.

Fucking hell guys, I just wanted to have a legitimate discussion.
Also, BvS was great too, but the Doomsday parts were really unsatisfying. The camera also got away from the DoP during that sequence.
This post reeks of something you'd see on r/truefilm.
Spielberg's War Horse actually. Mad Max was plebeian trash

Can you elaborate on this for someone who hasn't seen the movie and who hates apocalyptic dramas?
>>68794312
No, it's copypasta and I think the movie is shit.
I think you oughtta reconsider hating post-apoc drama though tbqh.

Honestly, it is one of my favourite action films. Now, is it high art? Nope. But, for what it is, a movie about people in leather screaming "WITNESS ME" while driving V8s, it is really good.

I'll give it that.
The camera work had some serious issues and the muh practical effects thing is way overblown.
A solid 6/10 for me. Loses big points in editing and music.
