I know I skipped a day, well sue me! I had things to do, but here it is, the last of the nominees.
Mad Max: Fury Road
AKA: Mad Max 3 (Thunder Dome is not part of Mad Max)
And last but not least we get to the ending of this bunch of movies, and we save the best for last. Yes this is the best movie of the 8 nominated, and I really think is the best of the year. It has everything cars, explosions, great characters, an acting so great that doesn’t need to much dialog, great camera, great editing, great music happening in the actual film, everything!
What I can say about this movie that hasn’t been said? Is just great some people complain about Max that he almost doesn’t talk, well that shows how little you know about him, he distances from the rest of the world he just keeps going and survive this world, if he can do good that is fine, he is the road warrior.
The movie is just action some say, but is more like an action story, you don’t need dull moments, romantic interests, and other stuff to deliver a fun movie with depth. Yes is no Citizen Kane but is the Citizen Kane of action films.
This is not a handholding film, it starts into the action and you have to catch up with what is happening. But outside of all of that is very friendly to watch, because different to all the Michael Bay movies here the action is centered and in the center of the shot is always the important matter your eyes don’t have to look for what is happening but it is delivered to them.
The music and sound mixing goes perfect with what you’ll expect you hear the voices perfectly and understand the dialogs, also the music wraps every moment and reflects the mood and actions in a very accurate way. Remember “it’s not too loud you are too old”
Every character and every vehicle has its own personality, the way they look they act and react and everyone is memorable. And deals with very serious problems in a very realistic way in a surreal world what gets you even more into the movie, gets the mentality of people and how to react to abuse and the need to escape and be free and even actually how some people would prefer the golden cage to the real world.
Some say the actors don’t say anything, and that is not acting. But that is people that don’t know what acting is. Acting is not just deliver lines like a recorder, you act with your whole body, your way to react to every moment, and if you can fill a scene with just one movement of your hand, a look or simply walking away, that is the sign of a great actor, here you have actors that with just one word or even one look the whole scene is theirs. And the movie plot advances with those few lines and the characters develop just with their actions.
A best picture is not some drama, or a true story made picture, is one that the script is great, the direction was great, the actors delivered an awesome performance, the art department brought to life the world of the movie, the music transmitted you the exact feelings of each scene without you notice it but at the same time you got out of the movie humming the music, everything should be a perfect match, so much that you want to watch that movie again, thing that doesn’t happen that often.
If you think that all the good scenes are in the trailer you are dead wrong, the complete movie is great and has an ending worthy of Mad Max, because the only rest for the road warrior is the road and keep moving.
I know that lots of people will not even put it on their netflix cue because will never pass the point were they think is an action movie, and can see pass that, I'm so sorry for you, you'll never see things deep enough to find the sublime world.
Again I say this is the best movie of the year and everybody should watch it several times.
***** 5 stars out of 5 because that is the top give the Oscar to this guy!
