Re: Anachronistic high technology in the Fury-verse
Those are interesting theories! Here's my interpretation concerning the prosthetic arm: I may be wrong but I was under the impression that the last scenes of the movie (Dementus all alone, powerless with no ammo and relentlessly hunted by Furiosa) almost stopped being grounded in reality, which is m...

Re: Furiosa | the spoiler-free thread
I was fine with not seeing too much of the full War aspect - I don't know if this was where Miller's head was at, but it kind of reminded me of Visconti's historical epics like Senso and The Leopard, both of which are these big, sweeping films that take place over a lot of years that only show or m...

Re: Random observations from me
Well, you're talking about one of the things that I didn't like about the film. Not intending to come off as rude, but I'm honestly surprised that a fan of the Mad Max franchise frequenting this forum for years, even mentioning The Mad Max Bible YouTube channel, would need a "confirmation that ...

Furiosa | the spoiler-free thread
Hello, I will cut right to the chase and formulate in this message what I didn't like about this new entry: on the one hand, I was under the impression that Miller was a little heavy handed with the "myth" aspect. For example, showing us right at the beginning that the action is set in the...

Re: News on the Fury Road : "The Wasteland" & "Furiosa"
I will watch Furiosa, tonight, in a couple of hours. Can’t wait! Did you see it ? I just did! I hope you guys will enjoy it. Some of the scenes, admittedly, gave me shivers. I don’t want to give too much away but Furiosa is reminiscent, aesthetically, of both Three Thousand Years of Longing (the na...

Re: News on the Fury Road : "The Wasteland" & "Furiosa"
At the risk of being provocative: is the commercial success of Furiosa really that crucial? Apart for Warner Bros and George Miller? Now it mattered for Fury Road (because of Furiosa and The Wasteland coming to fruition). Hear me out, of course I don't want the film to flop, but there is no indicati...

Re: The Wasteland
Honestly, I can't help but being a little disappointed because The Wasteland seems... unnecessary and redundant? I reckon that the comic book series and The Mad Max 2015 (albeit non-canon) gave us enough insight about Max doing jobs for people in the wasteland in exchange for parts for his new Inter...
