I can’t get enough of this movie; I can seriously watch it every day. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a movie that makes me feel like that. Watched it for the first time Sunday night, then half of it Monday and the second half last night (Have a three month old, so I can’t watch late at night anymore, and unfortunately, I no longer work from home…as Khev attested to in a prior post, working from home is awesome, LOL).
Some random, stream of consciousness thoughts:
-Great score, but I particularly like the music during the chase scene after the War Rig makes it beyond the pass and are dealing with the motorcycle riders (Buzzards?) as well as Immorten Joe. Music is absolutely perfect during that scene, detailing the highs and lows of the scene/
-The fact that there are no “HERO” moments in this movie, in the respect that Max doesn’t take charge and handle everything. Interaction between Max and Furiosa is fantastic as they are defending the War Rig, and I love how Max gives up the rifle (grudgingly, it seems, but he realizes that she’s a better shot) when they only have the one bullet left.
-I understand that it makes sense from a narrative, and “less is more” point of view, but I would have LOVED to see the scene where Max took down the Bullet Farmer and his lackeys armed with only a Kuri knife, gasoline canister, and a few mines/explosives.
I’m going to try and get/start a third viewing tonight.
