“George [Miller, director] sat us down in the rehearsal period—us five girls—and the first thing he said to us is, ‘This movie is really about the strength and power of a woman.’ It really has that core to it. The heart of the movie is us five girls. As much as there are the heroes, with Mad Max, in this movie, the women really are holding their own.”
what I just keep DANCING about is that every director in Hollywood is losing their butt over Mad Max: Fury Road right now, just howling into the night that this movie took them all to school, that it’s a triumph a masterclass a blazing gem of nonstop hellbent orchestral action –
AND
IT IS SO FEMINIST.
this is a movie telling a woman’s story, filled with women of all ages taking control of their own lives and blowing up the patriarchy with fire, oh and it’s widely agreed to be THE BEST OF ITS GENRE.
LOOK AT HOW IT CAN BE DOOOONE. look at how IT’S BETTER.
this is a goddamn watershed for action flicks and I am so proud & happy I could punch the moon
“In the action movie, an evil ruler becomes enraged when he discovers that Charlize Theron’s character, Furiosa, has helped his sex slaves escape his grasp. Behind them they leave the message: ‘Women are not things.’ Furiosa encounters Max on the road, and they team up in search of a matriarchal promised land with bad guys in hot pursuit. Theron, not Hardy, leads the charge; she also does the majority of the fighting.”
OH MY GOD I WAS RIGHT ALL THOSE MONTHS AGO
CHARLIZE THERON IS THE LEADER OF A POST-APOCALYPTIC SEPARATIST LESBIAN COMMUNE
THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST MOVIE EVER
“George was looking to create empowered women, not victims, and I think he accomplished that. … They’re tender and loving and still fierce. They get to be all those things. … At its heart, this is a woman’s story.”

Welcome to the wasteland. Welcome to the After. Welcome to a feral burnt-out fetishscape filled with dust-up drifters and bondage berserkers. Welcome to the road, welcome to the Thunderdome, welcome the hell to MAD MAX, my new home.
