Watching Max Max: Fury Road left me rather puzzled. I couldn’t work out what the scriptwriters were trying to do with the plot. It could have just been a two-hour car chase with lots of explosions, but generally Hollywood likes a bit more than that. What passed for a plot didn’t make any sense to me, given the supposed feminist ethos of the film.
Over the weekend I spotted a tweet from Hiromi Goto pointing at this article. Suddenly it all makes sense. And my opinion of the film has gone down a few notches.
Well, that’s one way of looking at it I suppose. The thing with movies like this is that everyone will find their own meaning, or lack thereof. For me I found in it an exploration of the Maiden/Mother?Crone Trinity, but that’s just me. 😀
