MAD MAX 2019 MOVIE

Thirty-three years later, вЂњFury RoadвЂќ puts Tom HardyвЂ™s near-mute Max in the title, but the movie belongs to TheronвЂ™s Furiosa. In вЂњThe Road Warrior,вЂќ MaxвЂ™s dog probably owns the second-strongest character arc.

Women didnвЂ™t get a ton of screen time in these movies. вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ (as it was called in the States it was released as вЂњMad Max 2' in MillerвЂ™s native Australia) featured Mel Gibson playing a loner not all that different from the reluctant heroes I watched Clint Eastwood play in countless KCOP-TV movie marathons. How the hell did George Miller pull it off?ДЄnd not just pull it off, but superbly execute a kick to the groin of the patriarchy ruling the movieвЂ™s post-apocalyptic world as well as the Hollywood hierarchy that rarely puts women at the center of a movie like this. Spielberg couldnвЂ™t do it with Indiana Jones.

And that same sensation of giddy exhilaration, only this time, 33 years later, coursing through veins caked with cholesterol and a brain filled with a certain amount of skepticism that an entry in any movie franchise could deliver something so shockingly full of imagination and poetry. What makes this film singular in my moviegoing life is that it left me feeling the same way I felt as a teenager when I staggered into the lobby after seeing вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ in 1982. GLENN WHIPP: вЂњFury RoadвЂќ beating вЂњEmpireвЂќ surprised me too, Justin, and, like you, I think our voters did themselves proud. Cinema this breathtakingly pure, not so much. Noisy, frenetic blockbusters are a dime a dozen, especially in summer. LetвЂ™s hear it for blockbuster auteurism and for Miller, who stages the most dynamic, sustained and deliriously inventive action sequences around - and also, not incidentally, the cleanest, due in no small part to Margaret SixelвЂ™s supremely disciplined editing. More so than MillerвЂ™s great earlier вЂњMad MaxвЂќ movies, it was rightly recognized at first glance as a masterpiece of action filmmaking and dystopian world-building - not bad for a movie that easily could have gone the way of countless disastrously over-budget Hollywood follies. I say all this to emphasize that, despite not having gotten its full due, вЂњFury RoadвЂќ wasnвЂ™t exactly underappreciated in its time. (IвЂ™m still not over the fact Charlize Theron wasnвЂ™t nominated for her brilliant, heartrending performance as the movieвЂ™s true if not top-billed protagonist, Imperator Furiosa.) It won six of the 10 Oscars for which it was nominated, but it didnвЂ™t win best picture or for George MillerвЂ™s wizardly direction, as it should have. that have stalled the franchise until recently. The movie opened to glowing reviews and made a lot of money, though not enough to turn a huge profit or offset the legal disputes with Warner Bros. It wasnвЂ™t a huge theater, but it was fortunately equipped with Dolby Atmos sound, all the better to hear the roar of the engines, the screaming guitar riffs of Junkie XLвЂ™s propulsive score and the words - yes, the powerful, incantatory words (вЂњI am awaited in Valhalla!вЂќ) - of the movieвЂ™s brilliantly spare and perpetually underestimated screenplay.ДЄ week after that screening, вЂњFury RoadвЂќ premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in an out-of-competition slot, never mind that it put most of that yearвЂ™s Palme dвЂ™Or contenders to shame. I still recall the excitement - no, not strong enough - the pure, unleaded exhilaration surging through the audience when I saw it in a Burbank screening room in May 2015. I havenвЂ™t seen many movies over the last five years that felt like classics on first viewing, but вЂњMad Max: Fury RoadвЂќ is undoubtedly one of them. If IвЂ™m honest - and with all due respect to the original вЂњStar WarsвЂќ trilogy, which is having its own Showdown rematch as we speak - it is absolutely the outcome I was hoping for. JUSTIN CHANG: I have to admit, Glenn, that in a week that also included вЂњThe Empire Strikes Back,вЂќ this isnвЂ™t the outcome I was expecting. Their live video conversation will be streamed on the Los Angeles Times Classic Hollywood Facebook Page and YouTube as well as Twitter. Times film critic Justin Chang sat down with entertainment columnist Glenn Whipp to discuss a movie they both consider a masterwork - and one of the most remarkable action movies ever made.Д¬hang and Whipp will discuss вЂњMad Max: Fury RoadвЂќ with the director George Miller on Thursday at 6 p.m. The #UltimateSummerMovie Showdown is under way, and voters have chosen вЂњMad Max: Fury RoadвЂќ (2015) as their winner for Week 3, dedicated to movies first released in theaters from May 15-21 (between 19).
