I just saw the movie today and loved it. I would easily say its a 9 out of 10 for me. I wish they could have used tom hardy more and gave him more lines, even though he did a lot of acting through facial expressions. As for the feminist stuff, I didn't even think about it while watching the movie. If you go into the movie looking for an agenda you might see it, but if you keep an open mind, it won't be a problem.

Furiosa is the lead. It shows this in the trailers, the posters and also in the movie, she is the last one to show on screen from a very high position. In the beginning she bosses Mad Max around and even calls him by Fool. In the beginning he shows up like a retard and the women diminish his role. The romantic relationship that shows up during the movie is completely out of context and with the male character that this happens to. The chastity belt is completely unnecessary. The old women distrust completely the two men that show up with the girls even though they are clearly helping them. So basically the only two decent men that show up are either bossed around or are romantic. The rest are vile and maniac but ALL women are decent and correct.

Yes, the movie is great. Yes, Furiosa is a great lead, even her name is great. She is strong, confident and does the impossible to save those women. Mad Max is along for the ride and does the right thing. But there was no need for feminist agenda, they even called the author of the Vagina Monologues. Women are strong when they are strong people. It is all about being human, not man or woman. There is no need to study up what strong women are, it should be natural to see when a PERSON is strong and worthy.

Lmao are you kidding me? The chastity belts were absolutely nessacary for this film. When you leave your house you tend to always lock your door, sometimes you'll lock all your belongings in a safe. People do this because they don't want other people to steal their personal property. For Immortan Joe those girls where his property and their singular purpose were to breed HIS babies. He wanted that shit locked down tight so no one else can take that or use his property. He wouldn't have brought an army if it wasn't the most important thing to him. I DARE you to walk into a brothel and abduct all the pimps hoes and see how fast he brings his gangs after you. I'm willing to bet you'd be a dead man!

Again it was still Mad Max and the film was still his. Max is always along for the ride and helping others! This is been the case since Road Warrior, and as I said earlier the difference is they share the vehicle together and Furiosa instigated the events and was directly responsible. It is easy to see how many people would see her as the main, but it is still Max. The man without a plan was the same one to resolve the issue and conflict through his BRILLIANT plan when they turned around. I won't say the rest as not everyone has seen the movie yet. He is the hero who overcame all the problems and challenges in the film and he was the main protagonist. Furiosa was still a main character but not on the same level despite being very heroic. As for a feminist agenda.... there wasn't one. Had this movie been released in 1993 as originally planned, we wouldn't be having this conversation because no one would care. The base plot of the movie remained the same over all these years.

LMAO I would love to see these guys who keep fabricating and instigating this whole feminist bullshit joke be sent a copy of the Metroid games. Tomb Raider would be good as well, and Blood Rayne would just chop their dicks off. The ironic thing is that most of these guys that drag the feminist argument around are actually virgins who are angry that women won't even look at them. It's so pathetic to the point I can't even keep a straight face every time it's brought up. I would love to see a comedy made about this shit as it is so laughable.

So everyone that supports Men's Rights are automagically ugly virgins? That's the problem with the state of things. People just ignore blatant things, whether or not this movie is feminist, or the chopping of dicks talk is all fine and hilarious, because they are used to it. Just like how millions go every year for breast cancer research, but prostate no.

People who actually understand that equality between genres mean both genres have equally important roles, not that they have to be equal in decisions and behavior, are those who understand that men also can suffer and have their role diminished and a lot are humiliated because they are simply men. Just like you are doing now.

I don't know what the hell those other "virgins" did or said. I just know what I saw in the movie, which was a great movie, with a great protagonist(s) but with some details that just not felt right. I sure did not see anything freaking strange when I saw for example Still Alice, an also very strong woman who struggles to keep her sense of self while trying to still keep her carreer that she loved so much, and a husband that does some mistakes because he isn't the PERSON who is afflicted with her illness. Or did I have any problem with a girl that just went through hell and becomes a super fighter in Tomb Raider because she does what she can to survive. Sincerely I may be wrong with the Mad Max movie, but any chance to talk about men's role in society and men's right is a good chance among all the noise feminists do.

While I will argue that film was not feminist but an original vision that George Miller had way back in the day when the film was originally planned. To me this movie had no feminist qualities but simply more or less slavery. The women were commodities to work against there will to bear Immortam Joe's babies. Hence being slaves of a "work force" and his own personal brothel. All they did was liberate themselves, when the blacks did this centuries ago people acted in the same manner as you are now.

I hold a very strong stance in equalism. I do not see one gender being better than the other. This goes for all race, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. Women deserve to be equal, but do not deserve to see themselves above men. They've been low for so long the playing field need to be leveled. Even more so in today's economy where a man/husband can hardly afford to support a family. Everyone needs to work equally towards a common goal. The balance of nature is incredibly important and women have the potential of being just as strong and smart as men. You should take a look at George Luca's daughter Amanda Luca's who would wreck your ass in combat. Everyone has their potential, strength and weakness. Neither sex is exempt for the nature of that rule. All things should be equal, weather it's work, pay, social status and what not. Many guys revere women for the change to get in their pants.

People need to take a step back and look at the huge global picture of the world. No of the universe and things become much more clear. There are so many problems with todays society and from wide view of these issues and deep understanding of the nature of our own existence this whole feminism debate is a joke. It is baffling that it requires a greater intelligence to understand something that is easier than basic math because of the programming of our social status in society. From a political point of view this issue is silly and many men are scared of losing their upper status and be leveled on an equal scale. For the sakes of the entire human race it is required that we break down these barriers to progress at a greater rate. You are no more worthy to live on this planet than a bum on the side of a street, or the bug you may have stepped on in the recent past. All life is equal and serves a purpose in this world and the realities we live in. We may have a hard time to comprehend these realities simply because of how we view ourselves above all others and the workings of our own intelligence and programming but that is how things are in this very reality that we live in and share together.

tldr...?

this be just like the Da vinci code book, Millenium trilogy, 50 shades and so on... When millions of people say it is great it is nothing but mediocre crap that everyone can swallow apparently.
At least, the more praise i hear, the more afraid i become that is what happened to Mad Max.

Tells you something about my faith in humanity the past decade.

The problem with what you just said is that all those films are based on the books. Unless you are referring to the books themselves. Mad Max: Fury Road is directed by the guy who made all the other Mad Max films. This is Mad Max and a sequel that has been envisioned but faithful to the original script of 1993. This is George Millers vision. I think you should watch the movie before making a judgement on this and you should read what I said because one of the reasons everyone is praising this film so much is because of the lack of CGI and the fact almost every stunt in this movie was performed in real time. Most of the actors were stuntmen and those who were actors were put into insane situations for the filming of this movie. Every vehicle you see was made fully functional and driving in real time while they filmed the movie. They made 150 and over 80 were destroyed in the process of filming. The whole process of making this movie is incredibly impressive and one of the first films to do this in decades and the pay off was huge.

I saw the movie yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Im not sure about masterpiece but very damn good imo :)



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Loved, best movie of this year so far, way better then Avengers 2. As for the feminist stuff, I didn't even think about it while watching the movie. I think this discussion is a little stupid.

 

About the movie, only one problem. The way George Miller introduced the "Many Mothers" just to be butchered, whily the "main group" got just one hit (one of the brides). Furiosa took a dagger in the lungs, she should have died by the end.

I thought it was an amazing film. I'm usually picky about feminist agenda films/tv but at no point did I find the film to be pushing that. Furiosa was as natural as Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor.

I do find it funny that some feminist got up in arms about there being sex slaves in a post apocalyptic world. That stuff is going to happen IRL. Heck, its been real for thousands of years.
