    Sand storms absolutely create lightning, pretty intense ones at that. The friction created from the sand particles colliding with each other creates a static charge that produces lightning.

    I still remember feeling shocked but also somehow relieved in the theater when Nux died. I went into the movie expecting cool visuals and not much else. As a kid the aesthetic and world building of the Mad Max movies from the 80's had really caught my imagination, but wow, were they ever nihilistic. Especially in Road Warrior, Max was the only character who came across as cool or capable in any way really. The other good guys were pretty ineffectual. The bad guys were basically inhuman. And regardless which side, everyone who dies, dies screaming or humiliated so that Max looks tougher. In Fury Road I could tell Furiosa was going to be different, but I was convinced from the start that Nux was only there to be a foil, and was definitely going to go out like a punk, either killed by Max, or killed by a baddie right before Max killed that baddie, just to raise the stakes a little. And it almost happened so many times. And then he went out like an absolute hero. It made the whole movie inspiring, when I was expecting dehumanization. Afterward I asked myself if it was almost too feel-good. But it wasn't, because the hero didn't live. He died. Fury Road is basically Shakespeare with napalm.

      It certainly didn't hurt that it was in pre-production for a decade and a half due to filming cancellations. I remember seeing photos of the vehicles before filming of the Mel Gibson version in 1999 or 2001 (can't remember which) was canceled, and the vehicles weren't nearly as cool as what we finally got. There was even a rig made to look like a dog, with big floppy ears, since the War Boys were originally called War Dogs.

    Once i was diagnosed with a brain tumor that would end my life in 18 months. Call it god, call it luck, call it fate, but the tumor was removed. That was 8 years ago. However, I'll never forget what it was like to be told you have an exact half-life. Nux is a character i totally understand and even relate to. Nothing brings clarity like knowing how it is supposed to end.

I met amazing people, I worked on my book (which isn't very good, but was cathartic) I played open mic nights, and I asked beautiful women to dance.

    I re-watched this movie yesterday for like, the fourth time and what I love about it, is that the attention to details and continuity is INSANE, and everytime I notice something new.
    The one I love the most begins in the very first chase, when Nux's car loses a tire and he needs counterweight in the back of his car. Max then fights the lancer who falls off the car grabbing one of Max's boots. A few moments later, when Max wakes up in the sand and fails to cut himself free from Nux, he takes one of Nux's boots off for himself.
    Later on, when they're waiting for the engine of the war rig to cool down, Max engages in a fight off-screen, wins it, and comes back with a new wheel for the rig and... A NEW BOOT FOR NUX.
    It's such a subtle payoff at more than half runtime, for something that had been set up in the first 20 minutes.
    Love this movie so much and never get tired of watching it ❤

    I thought the only key moment you missed was when Max decides to go off into the mist to finish off the guy from the bullet farm. Furiosa asks what they should do if he doesn't come back, and he just says "well you keep moving." The look she gives him when he leaves I personally believe is the moment she decides to start really trusting him.

When the little girl says "common pa, lets go", is when he decides to follow. The film doesn't tell you much, but it's obvious he's such a damaged man, and this scene represents him overcoming that loss. Deciding to once again decide to not just look after himself, but try to help others like he did in his past.

    One thing about this film that is often overlooked in terms of the production and accolades is the sound of this film. It won Oscars for both best sound mixing and best sound editing and it really shows. If you play this in a home theatre with a really good surround sound system (even just in basic Dolby Digital 5.1), the soundscape and surround effects are incredible. There's a particular scene in the mud blue area where you hear a gunshot coming from the rear right and it is so well done and quite frightening, I actually thought something had happened in real life. This is one of my reference films to use when testing a new surround sound film (along with Master and Commander as well as Ford vs Ferrari).

    • @rottensquid
      @rottensquid ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Yeah, that's definitely there in the subtext. Max as a blood bag in his gardening fork muzzle could signify him as an avatar of death. Or standing over the desolated land in the opening shot, hooded by his shaggy hair. His first act in the film is to kill something, after all. But then again, his final act is to save Furiosa's life by giving his blood. So I don't know what to make of that. Nux could also represent death, as he's the one who's a living corpse, and he dies and is reborn twice before his final self-sacrifice at the end.

    Probably one of the things that this movie changed for me the most is the notion that dialogue was absolutely necessary to convey emotion, story, or character depth. I remember watching this for the first time and realizing about half way through that there was so little dialogue...but it didn't impact how much I enjoyed the film, or how much I was getting out of it. Sometimes, just a simple look or movement was more than enough. Absolutely one of the best post-apocalyptic movies I've ever seen...and one that I need to revisit...it's been far too long.

    Fury Road is such an amazing movie, so well crafted, and a perfect example of how you don't need overly complex characters or narratives to tell a blistering and thought-provoking story.
    Also, on a side-note, the movie was joined by a fantastic video-game released the same year that, while not a direct tie-in was definitely in the same universe and set before the events of Fury Road, evidenced by Hope and Glory, and their deaths, featuring heavily in the storyline, along with the War Boys and Scabrous Scrotus as the main villain.

      Likely because of all the horror that he witnessed throughout the series including the death of his family. His character struggles have always been based on his instinct to protect because of that initial failure. It's a beautiful callback to the tragic Hero origin that creates a borderline antihero that possesses a sense of justice and fairness on a larger scale once introduced to the evidence at hand and the recognized struggle to survive and continue suffering that guilt that he carries. Meanwhile, Max's sanity has indeed been broken because of having witnessed the world's destruction at the heels of the familial loss.

He doesn't want a parade or a celebration in his honor. He never came looking to save anybody. He did it because it had to be done, and that it got finished is good enough for him.

    This truly is one of the best action movies of all time. From the moment the first scene opens to the credit scene the viewer is hooked. There is no wasted information given. Everything has a reason and a purpose contributing to the story. The action is relentless with scene after scene that feels like something is really at stake instead of some untouchable hero that we know at the beginning will go through unscathed. I applaud the imagination that created these characters, world, and the other living things in the movie; the vehicles. An all time favorite.

    What I enjoyed about this movie:
    1. Trust your audience. The ones that are looking will catch what you're saying. The ones that don't? It's okay, they're enjoying other stuff. You can design your movie to be enjoyed at multiple layers, rather than trying to make sure everyone sees it the same.
    2. You don't need "a main character." You need good characters. The viewer will decide which character to really connect with, so give them all strong connection points. And that usually means have fewer, but deeper characters.
    3. The titular character of a franchise is often *not* the most interesting. Sometimes, their role isn't "The One Who Does Everything." Sometimes they are the force that brings other key players together. Not the General, but the rallying flag.

    Doof is a very Australian phrase, they often call raves Doofs or Doofers also named after the noise of the drum in usually EDM electronic dance music. They called raves that when I was in Tasmania way back in 2007 so it might not still be a popular phrase but I doubt it's a coincidence that this is an Australian movie and the Doof warrior and Doof machine were named after the noise of the drum here too.

    I saw the previous three Mad Max films before watching this piece of art. A big easter egg or constant in George Millers Mad Max films are crows. In the first film, the close up image of a crow would shortly be on-screen when danger looms or enemies are nearby. Also, crow sound would accompany this image or would be played when danger or enemies are coming. This crow sound, distorted, for more ominous effect, would come back in all the films and also in Fury Road when they reach the poisonous swamp. In this film, it doesn't serve as 'danger is coming', but it's a nice call back.

      agreed.

They'd cave to have it happen near the end, perhaps, haha, but the son would survive and furiosa and max would take the boy under their wing making the world an even better happier place in the end BARF

    I think my favourite moment in the film is Max walking into the darkness and then coming back with the sack of guns while soaked in blood. It teases us by not showing the action, but has the chilling implication of the ultra-violence he is truly capable of. But overall I loved this movie because while some people were upset Max didn't get the majority of screentime, it does fit with the theme of Max not being the "Hero" of the story, but rather just a survivor of it. Even looking back at the other films (aside from the first), most of the movie Max is usually fairly short on words or surrounded by more lively characters who provide exposition and dialogue.
    Which to me has always represented more that Max is sort of a vehicle for us the viewers to witness this world through, rather than solely being about him just kicking tons of butt. A opposite example would be something like John Wick where virtually everything in the story is revolving around him and most scenes are literally focused entirely on him. But then in Mad Max movies you get Max more or less just getting dragged into situations where he's forced to help people for mutual survival and we get a lot of characterization from them and learn their motives. Which in turn fleshes out the world and gives us this deeper and more "lived in" feeling.

    The music/sound in this movie is just perfection. There are movies out there where the sound is just as important as everything else going on, Baby Driver and Guardians for example, but whereas in those movies the sound somewhat leads the movie, in this movie on the other the sound elevates what's already there it doesn't overtake it, it lifts it. Apart from a couple of key moments, the initial drums bit and the focus on the guitar truck the sound does not overtake the movie, it feels like it sits in the back, like it's right under the skin, but just like the flesh that sits under the skin without the sound the movie would be less of a movie.
    Movies are a visual media first and that should be the lead of the movie, sound needs to elevate that and not overtake it. This movie undoubtedly has some of the best visuals in all of cinema, so having the sound further elevate that without outshining the start is just amazing.

    It was through this project I gained a full appreciation for Mad Max. I played the game a ton which is a weird alternate to the prequel comic. It is definitely less canon to the story however provides a lot of great details about the world and different factions.
    Miller actually worked with Cory Barlog of GOW2 and eventually the amazing GOW4 in pre production so that work definitely shows in the game even if you can also tell neither man worked on the game directly.
    I already loved the mad max movies but I gained a deeper appreciation through his range with Happy Feet and coming back to his baby, Max.
    I don’t know if it’s relevant but this kind of storytelling is so important. I’ve always loved Tartakovsky and Samurai Jack specifically for this reason. He did storyboards for IronMan2 which is widely maligned but those shots and silent action make it memorable for me. Mad Max clearly does it better and with more purpose as the storyboard is integral to the script. It’s just kinda amazing to me.
    You have oz-ploitation movie, with honestly a lot of the tropes. Motorcycle gangs and screaming, as well as quieter moments. However, there is something special about the movie, about its pre/mid-apocalyptic story. It comes into its own with Road Warrior, and Thunderdome felt like and 80s/90s fantasy film.
    But with Fury Road it’s to me a fully realized world. It’s war and factions and it’s beyond transformation. Thunderdome brought it there, with essentially zero connect to the old world, but Fury Road built its lore up, around the silliness of our attachment and mythologizing of the old ways as well our legitimate obsession over whatever useful resources we manage to hold on to. I feel like he had this story and world and appropriately molded it to these existing film genres, appropriate to the time.

      I keep seeing this in the comments. Yes, it has been stated that the writers utilized the concept of the "Four Horsemen". as an literary device.
      Except
      there are in fact Five Horsemen, and none of which is pestilence.
      If you goggle this your going to get false information. I have 4 different Bibles all state 5 riders (horsemen).
      However, regarding the Five Horsemen:
      *The First Horse was pr the Rider was Conquest.
      *The Second Horse was red and the Rider was War.
      *The Third Horse was black and the Rider was Famine
      *The Forth Horse was pale and the Rider was Death and the Rider Hell followed with him. (meaning two Horsemen on one horse, King James Version).
      However some bibles state that Hell rode behind Death on his own horse.
      Either way there are Five Horsemen. I think some of the confusion is the forth seal: has two horsemen.
      Pestilence is a long repeated misunderstanding as being one of the five Horsemen.
      This is a misrepresentation.
      Sort of somewhat like a camel going through the eye of a needle.
      AND the role of the Five Horsemen start the beginning of the apocalypse.
      They don't show up later on, they are what starts the ball rolling. And in the order I stated.
      Conquest doesn't end all suffering but instead represents the end of peace , that's why War comes next, then Famine, Death and finally Hell.
      It isn't Conquest that restores everything and Brings Peace, it Destroys Peace.

    My favorite idea about the entire Mad Max series is that Max himself is a more or less a myth. What we see is the stories people in the world tell about this man who rolls into their lives and causes chaos and transformation.
    In every movie (and Fury Road hits this perfectly for me) we dont see the "Real" Max, just how he is remembered. And that sort of eliminates the "where does this fit in the timeline" and "Previously we saw Max act like this" issues. Each movie though linked is a moment in time of this Legend that doesn't have to mimic everything from previous movies. Tom Hardy is a fair bit bigger and bulkier than Mel Gibson was. His Max is a fair bit more feral and berserk too. Mel's Max seemed to have a bit more of a soft spot for children and women while Tpm's is much more cold and callous (to start). If the movies are the legends people tell of "Mad Max, The Road Warrior" the character differences and even how rhe world is different are built in.
    This makes Max an immortal figure that is a catalyst pushing other characters to change and grow. We dont really need Max to change and grow too much, as hes basically a McGuffin himself. He gets his story arc of overcoming some of his past guilt, but ends up STILL alone, crazy and wandering the wasteland.

    Truly a great film. I was really impressed about the attention to detail of Max reapplying the air-brake supply hoses to stop the second trailer from skidding. All Air-brakes have dual-functionality; If you don’t have adequate air supply from the air-compressor the spring-brakes will apply and you can’t move in the first place. It’s like a deadmans switch so you don’t accidently kill people on the highway/freeway. You can’t drive the bigger trucks if you aren’t certified in the systems entire purpose or capability. The psi/kPa dump would suggest that the entire truck has a higher governor lockout and it didn’t just lock all of it’s tires. That’s riding dirty for sure.

    To Erik Voss and the Deep Dive team - Thank you for doing this in-depth look at Mad Max: Fury Road. This movie kicks major post-apocalyptic ass with it's nail-biting, relentless action and stunning practical effects. I can't wait to rewatch it with the new insights and nuances you guys have pointed out - e.g. the ghosts of Glory and her mother. You are by far best movie channel on TH-cam! Oh what a lovely day!! 🤘😎

    10:03 Actually it would be the eight pistons of the V-8 engine. It would have 16 or 32 valves, depending upon brand and configuration. There are even a few obscure and/or experimental V-8s that I've "witnessed" that utilize 5 valves per cylinder, for a total of 40 valves.
    BTW, yes I am a Blackthumb. An auto mechanic since 1993.

    I may be reaching here, but Max is like a car in this film. He is fuel to Nux. He is a hood ornament as the blood bag. He aspirates the engine. He swings like wiper blades on the poles. He is passenger and driver. He represents all that is needed to travel down Fury Road.

    one of my favorite movies. 8 fingers in a V shape. that falling war boy screamed "witness" not "yes"

    There is one detail you missed. Max's crab trap. It can be seen on the back of his car. In the Wasteland, one doesn't carry what isn't absolutely necessary. Now, where do crabs live? In the water. But there's no water anymore. The oceans dried up and became known as the Plains of Silence, an endless salty desert. What better place for someone running from booth the living and the dead? Maybe Max hoped to find some bits water clean enough for crabs to live in? No. He tells Furiosa that all there is out there is salt. He was going there wishing to die. But he is a man reduced to a single instinct: survive. That's what the crab trap is for.

    When I saw this movie 🎥. I saw a lot of references to MAD MAX. Plus some of the references to VALHALLA. But you have taken every single frame. To let us know. The connection to the MAD MAX Universe. I’m so glad to have found your TH-cam channel 🎉..

    wait a minute... 4:38
    Glory... That sounds very familiar...
    The Mad Max game takes place in between Fury Road and MM3 i guess.

    I really enjoyed this deep dive especially when talking about the War Rig being the 'white whale' and all the sailing references but I was waiting for you to mention the little detail that the flags on the back of the Rig are red and green... port and starboard!

    I've watched this movie about 12 times and you were providing so much knowledge and things I haven't picked up on. This video is amazing, subscribed and looking forward to more.
    This movie completely reinvigorated me. I didn't think I would ever see another movie that would blow me away and this completely did. And I went into it hating Mad Max - I don't like the first movie! The trailer sold me and I went in blind and was dumbstruck that everything about it was jaw-dropping. Saw it 3 times in the theatre and many times at home. Thanks for the Deep Dive, I will cherish this video. No doubt you've read the book about the making of this movie, it should be read by every creative human on earth. Cheers man, I really appreciate your work.

    While Immortan Joe is a villain and his wives are totally breeders, I can't help but realize his wives have a better quality of life than anyone else in that world. They are very educated (although incredibly naïve due to being kept in a giant vault), healthy, well fed, and fairly untouched by the horrors of that world they live in.

    Yes I too guessed that it was implied we all bleed for redemption. Humanity must bleed to evolve. Good stuff. Very good indeed. A great dive into this one I love this movie for the story being told through action. Sometimes movies spell it out too much for us this one made you think. I always thought of Max NOT going up as him not only not being ready but there can be only 1 leader and in his eyes Furiosa earned that role. He is never ready to stay in one place for the voices catch up to him.
