I will tell you right away, this is the first film in 2 years that I will definitely review, despite some exaggerations (which I will note later), the picture is exciting and interesting, it simply attracts attention with complex and fascinating cinema language, impeccable camerawork, amazing complex tricks, dynamic chases, monstrous cars, black humor. The work on the film was done at the highest level and required significant efforts on the part of the team of creators - this huge amount of invested effort, which is visible throughout.
Despite his age, George Miller has demonstrated excellent creative form, and over the years he seems to be getting better. This painting is different from anything he has previously created. Being at its core a tragedy of revenge in a post-apocalyptic world, the film contains reflections on a more subtle level of worldview, which are imbued with Miller's life experience and creative trials as a creator.
The director, along with screenwriter Nick Latouris, emphasizes symbolism without flirting with mythology. They honestly show what they realize and understand themselves; carefully, trying not to scare off the viewer, the film asks the audience eager for spectacles: "What unites an ironic sadistic mission and a cruel dictator? Why do we kill each other and who is leading us to war? For what and for whom are we sacrificing ourselves?"
The spirit of the times, militarism, political populism - are read in the picture, sharp topics are scattered with crumbs that a thoughtful viewer can catch.
We see a crimson crucifixion - a sacrificial cross symbolizing the redemption and salvation of a new earthly cradle, a matriarchal paradise on the remains of the human era. Later, in the finale, the director will finish the story using the same symbolism: the prototype of the temptress will pluck a fruit from a tree grown on a rotten body. Furiosa gives a peach to the chosen sisters - this scene refers to the image of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper".
The young heroine loses her wig with woven bells - the heroine is freed from childhood illusions, discards the symbol of slavery, and on the strength of this act, on these relics, like a "phoenix from the ashes", a renewed Furiosa is reborn. Fueled by revenge, she, gaining strength, goes through time to her destination.
In this world of exuberant colors, Miller presents a new icon of diesel punk - the great, blinded by anger Furiosa.
Being a woman by nature, the author gave her all the power of masculine power and endowed her with prophetic meanings.
Before watching, I understood that the heroine would have supernatural survival skills and fantastic capabilities, and I must admit that this is true: men will crown the path of the avenger with their bones.
But I would like to thank George Miller for the fact that the genocide in his performance looks less humiliating, and at the same time, with a stretch, as close to realism as possible. In his interpretation, Furiosa is a man with a female face: laconic, fearless, with a tense, sullen look, not feeling physical pain, and she transforms mental suffering into testosterone fuel, so she has few replicas in the film, they are dry and functional.
Furiosa symbolically refuses to speak, her psychogenic mutism, caused by a personal tragedy, declares to the outside world about hidden aggression and protest. There is no place for emotions in her heart, there is only searing anger.
To be honest, this fragile creature, with a rough voice, thin hands and a childish face, does not inspire mythological retribution, but ... Taylor-Joy coped with her role perfectly, conveying the image of the avenger as accurately as possible, and her large, childish, expressive eyes captivate with their spontaneity, hypnotize and touch.
All the actors play their roles as well as possible in this high-speed deadly whirlwind of adventures, but there is one character who stands out from all the others - this, of course, is Dementus, a sadistic antihero with a childhood trauma.
This is the best role Chris Hemsworth has played in his entire acting career. Chris Hemsworth really plays in this film, this is the leading role, this is the most striking character: witty, ironic with cruel features. In this story, he is by far the most notable - this is Chris Hemsworth's brilliant benefit. And it seems to me that his image of Dementus clutching a teddy bear to his chest deserves a worthy place on the villainous movie alimp.
I would like to note the excellent work of designers and technical specialists who created impressive combat vehicles and bikes. This is a real work of art, and watching this mechanical power lift clouds of sand at high speed, explode, ram, ferociously twist metal is fascinating.
Stunt work is just an epic mystery, it's a real movie celebration of the profession. The stunts in this movie are unique and inventive and only a stuntman understands how difficult, difficult and dangerous it is. Of course, you can say, "It's all special effects (VFX)." But this is not the case. You can't make such a movie without the risky work of stuntmen, and you don't want to look at it through the prism of the "green screen", because each scene was created with great attention and love, and this is clearly visible.
What is happening on the screen easily immerses you in events, captivates you with exciting car battles, and evokes emotional empathy.
This is the kind of movie that is so engaging that you don't want the movie to end.
As for the flaws of the painting? Yes, the story is inferior to "Mad Max: Fury Road", both in content and in the choice of the hero. The plot is very predictable, the turns are not amazing, the director has something to show, but he does not tell as much as he would like, leaving the details out of the frame. The non-mortal Joe is a functional figure who does not participate and does not influence development. The story is based on the realization of revenge, a vivid antagonist and a high-speed adventure.
There are exaggerations in the movie and they, in part, remind of the fantasticism of what is happening, but I forgive Master George Miller everything: I watched Furiosa all 2 hours without stopping, such magic is only possible for a real artist and a professional who is sick of cinematography.
