#i bet she used to think she was above it too

WHY WOULD YOU POINT THAT OUT. but no like at first she looks up like “goddamn these naive idealistic youths” but then her gaze drops for a moment like “yea we’ve all thought that at one point. but thats not how the world works” and she looks back to the dag and eventually gives her the seeds like “i hope you’ll be able to stay above it”

#your stupid revhead car film with scenes between women talking about themselves  #where one of those is an old woman  #who’s not necessarily blandly sweet nurturing  #and not necessarily wickedly crone-like  #but is a completely valid combination of both  #yes I am a loving and nurturing figure  #yes I also am a horrifying murderous crone  #behold they are come together in one person  #as is the way with most people  #wandering in search of our Better Selves

@ourfuriosa

[war-rig-ace]

The operatic version was composed by Handel and had its first performance in London in 1724.

The voice parts were:

Massimilio - altus (male contralto)

Furiosa - contralto

Immortale Giovanni - tenor

Rictus - bass

Cannibale and Contadino - altus and bass

Angela Splendissima - contralto

Capace, Sapenda, Daggae, Fragilia - sopranos

Fessura - bass

Nux - soprano (trousers role)

The opera was unusual as it was a rare early example of an on-stage instrumentalist - a violinist played the masked role of the “danza guerriera”

Has anyone written Mad Max: Fury Road in the form of an epic poem of some kind?

[animatedamerican]

… give me a few weeks

[bigscaryd]

Speak, Teller, of the mad wanderer, the wastes-man, the driver, Rockatansky;
Thirst-mad, solitude-mad, angry at the sky and the dust and the world mad;
Humungus defeated, Thunderdome fled and burnt, Sky-Tribe flown to Sydney
Savior and unsaved, alone and now hunted, fleeing toward nothing!

In the hands of Joe Immortan his madness does not free him
Hung for blood and bleeding, wanderer-trophy, fury futile-fading
Who is madder than the wanderer? Whose fury surpasses the madman’s?
Furiosa Iron-Handed! Furiosa Woman-Thieving!

With cunning the war-rig taken with stealth the five wives stolen;
Waste-crossing bravely fleeing to the wet-place nigh-forgotten;
War-boys all shouting, pursuing and flaming Doof loudly playing;
Blood-bag Max still hanging, car by thieves still driven chains still unbroken.

[animatedamerican]

… showoff 

*grumbles*

(do some more :D)

[bigscaryd]

Into the storm drove Furiosa flaying sand would not deter her;
A single war-boy flush with Max-blood for his master chased the bride-thief;
Nux his name and short his half-life, Immortan’s glance his heart’s desire;
Max-car Nux-car chased the War-Rig half-life hands could not control it.

Free’d the wanderer barely man now bound in muzzle tongue unspeaking;
Found the Iron-Hand working iron saw the water in the wasteland;
Gazed on Cheedo Dag and Toast then, Angharad Capable also;
Stole from Wife-Thief then the War Rig did the Wanderer in his madness!

Fury and cunning both together were the marks of Furiosa;
Barely stone’s-throw did he drive it; hopeless when the War-rig stopped;
In her mercy brave Furiosa made a compact with the Madman;
All for freedom: them, the clean girls, leave the war-boy let him die.

"Men have looked upon the desert as barren land, the free holding of
whoever chose. But in fact, each hill and valley in it had a man
who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right
of his family or clan to it, against aggression."

Mad Max: Fury Road’s film editor, Margaret Sixel, is director George Miller’s wife. When she asked her husband why he thought she should do it as she had never edited an action film before, Miller replied, “Because if a guy did it, it would look like every other action movie” (x).

CONGRATULATIONS MARGARET SIXEL!

It’s interesting doing these press junkets and having people come up to me and say, ‘All these strong women, strong women.’ It’s like well, we’re just actually women in this movie. We had a filmmaker that understood that the truth of women is they are powerful enough, and that we don’t want be put on pedestals or made to be super, unnaturally strong and capable of doing things that we’re not capable of doing, but what we are capable of doing is really interesting, and really informs a story like this especially. — Charlize Theron

“Of course, the whale lives at the end of Moby Dick. But that probably won’t sway the Oscar judges too much. Because any excuse to blast super slow-motion hybrid whale-bear sounds is a good excuse.”

[fingerribbon]

WOAH WOAH WOAH!!!! Have we not had this conversation before?!?!?

Mangini is fucking Legend! From Star Trek (old and new) to Raiders of the Last Arc to the bulk of the Disney Renaissance, the dude is a fucking sound design boss. What’s not in that piece but in his SoundWorks interview, is that EVERY vehicle in that movie has the sounds of a different animal mixed in to give them their own personality. They spent like 9 months on sound editing and then 80-some days on the mix. For comparison, the longest movie I’ve ever worked on had a 4 week edit and a 10 day mix. Mangini usually does 5-7 movies a year but because of Fury Road he only did 2 that year.

Huh, I knew a Mad Max thing before @wellntruly. Ima put that on the scoreboard.
