Everything GREAT About Mad Max: Fury Road! (Part 1)

[Music] oh rusty decaying logos with hints of chrome shining through even the v's look like exhaust pipes or maybe leaf springs and then the sound of a v8 revving i'd call those mad max style opening credits i was a cop a road warrior that's the quickest synopsis of the first two movies cop and road warrior are we to assume we're ignoring the third or is he also a tina anger or a child in danger or maybe town destroyer actually right is cool sort of explains the ending of that movie so they got all three you'll notice these crow noises throughout the entire mad max series and they never become any less unsettling i'll probably say my favorite thing about a dozen times throughout these videos yes i'm not kidding myself this is a two-parter but the color grade might be the first thing that drew me in this is what sand really looks like at some point your brain just accepts that it's really orange and it creates a hyper-stylized reality where anything is possible it also always gives me the sense that the sun is just potter and probably gives you worst cancer and a pretty solid introduction to our man this auditory cheat where the war boys vehicles aren't heard until they fly past the camera also adding a mythic feeling to max who seems to know they're coming just by instinct and the first chase is only two cuts and over since the stage was set for that hyper-stylized reality where anything is possible we now get confirmation that anything is possible even surviving this also an actual stunt driver did this so like helmets help but it is survivable but also since surviving in this scenario is the less favorable option the movie loses none of its sting we're like three minutes in here and already this movie has us hooked that first base note pounds in is the official start of the movie and you're vibrating in your seat because you know this is mad max but somehow elevated like it's aware of its legacy and that only kicks it in the guts in a way you never expected speaking of the other movies which i'll be doing a lot this isn't the first time max's hair has been cut while a kid collects it hair value clearly increases in the apocalypse apparently organic mechanic heard max's opening narration also love psychotic and muzzled as well as the full physical they needed to complete this information not to mention the setup that he's a universal donor for later on there's something so realistic and that max rarely has a plan beyond just running away and most of the time it turns out to be a pretty bad plan were you gonna slip through the greats champ i think it's actually less the cliff that startles him it's the green keep that image seared into your brain for later on as well and now you can finally see max's leg brace yes the leg brace that he started using in road warrior because in mad max bubba zanetti shot him in the leg decades long character continuity ha and those are ambulance doors oh boy this is uh this is one of those movies isn't it i'm never going to stop noticing details and when i watch this again in a year i'm going to be so mad that i miss that other tiny detail oh well anyway since organic mechanic was tattooing his blood type and whatnot it makes sense that the doors would be ambulance doors and again he's just trying stuff that really has no hope of working it sets the stage for the desperation that is fury road but oh man i'm not sure that's how witness works buddy another three minutes after i said the movie had started and we get the title card straight out of the 80s but even more metal like ragnarok's title treatment but angrier this war boys workout routine coolest steering wheel ever i mean they're all sweet looking skulls but this one is like an art piece with steel wire all wrapped around forming the skull villainy morton joe he's thought through every part of his persona he clearly has trouble breathing so he needs to wear this mask connected to fresh air and rather than just make it a regular mask which could look like weakness he added horse teeth and made a part of who he is he needs talc to keep his sores dry and rather than admit that the white is just his look that all his warboys have adopted even his ab armor that again protects his open wounds is adorned with all his medals he's turned all of his weaknesses into symbols of terror and strength although he's not original because he saw the white look from the lost tribe and even understands the importance of stage presence using mirrors as spotlights sometimes the film's commentary is so on the nose i think people missed it but since water futures are now being traded yeah don't get addicted to the thing you need to survive that forehead imperative grease really brings out the color in your eyes just some of the gold you'll find in my new book pick up lines from the wasteland super low angle pavement shot to build anticipation give us a sense of the speed we can expect and then it's one of the last times they'll actually be on pavement which is new for mad max i'll say i prefer sand to train tracks we're heading east i'll pass it down the line such a simple way to show how much power furiosa actually has even the other leaders respect and fear her he said moo goodness there's even hay on the ground for the milkers splendid is short for the splendid and herod his prego wife so of course she'd be the first he'd call out to this is what happens when you let women read about history they escape your prison of torture and force childbearing i love that the doof wagon is being lowered so we can only see the drums and the reveal of iota and his flaming guitar save for later why my deeds i honor him v8 by the way even though i know you didn't think the war boys were just really into vegetable juice the way they put their fingers on each hand together in a v shape is mimicking the four cylinders on each side of a v8 engine today is my day look at you if you can't stand up you can't do war maybe you can't do war but nux can always do war filling me up ah the classic mad max headbutt light flash i'm finally understanding why they call him slit which is the worst name ever while you're enjoying this 17 second tracking take showing off how real every single thing in frame is be reminded that the war boys took a note from humungous gang and here's our reveal of iota jamming out in front of all the amps i think i laughed out loud in theaters because this is so stupid over the top and somehow also the coolest and most perfectly fitting thing in this universe of course a morton joe goes into battle with the doof wagon and back to the color grade it's like there's blood in the flames they're so red nux has his name welded into his brake pedal a wide shot that cuts out all sound to give us a sense of geography and how far away morton joe's caravan is away from the war rig even the silence in this movie is gorgeous and useful samazi slang for you oh no last time i did this everyone was really mad but as far as i can tell fang it is similar to floret in context i assume it's like push on through as fast as possible and i love it question mark [Applause] and how about the sound design everything is over exaggerated and pops together with the constant center framing there's never any question about what you're supposed to be focusing on and george never misses a chance to smash a face into the camera and our first real slow-mo explosion on display we did have a slow-mo car flip and a slo-mo guy thrown from the car but this is the first explosion and it's a yup neat little throttle lock made out of a is that one of those foot measuring things did those have a name brannock device brannock device also teamwork again a super wide and high shot letting us know joe's war party is starting to catch up but not as fast as nux everything is filthy and even though the vehicles are mostly unique george still gives us these breathers to remind us where and who everyone is expert filmmaking now we learn why they call themselves so much of their lore is exposed in this quick scene they want to be chrome to enter valhalla and they need witnesses which again a perfect manipulation from a morton joe you can't just kill our enemies you can't just die killing our enemies you must be seen dying to kill our enemies he created a self-perpetuating religion that he doesn't even need to encourage much anymore i think i finally figured out that slit is just a dweeb everyone else witnessed morsov and his paying reverence but slit is nitpicking him with a mediocre like his mad marsoff stole his kill and i've always just thought this was slit celebrating in general but the more i think about it the more i realized he's actually trying to take credit for that dumb luck kill am i being too hard on young william striker what were we saying about that hyper-stylized reality where anything is possible why can't you stop poor guy faithful to the last can you say epic from just every conceivable angle the way the fire plays off the other worldly colorful flashing in the storm the same fire that's created under the warboy's car because furiosa gets just close enough to the funnel to push them in while knowing the war rig is heavy enough to stay on the ground not to mention this score [Music] the scores in previous mad max movies are fine they're 80s cheese mostly and let's just say that they're nothing at all like this junky xl put weight into this score from the first notes and now we've got an epic retirement piece for the exploded war boys and we get some storm consistency here the motorcycles are wiped out immediately since they're so lightweight and the operators are exposed the war rig is ginormous so it barely budges and even the war boy car holds on until furyosa forces it right into the funnel oh what a day what a lovely day a trailer line you thought was just quirky and cool but it's actually the entire warboy philosophy they want to die he sees his buddies die and is happy for them to die and be witnessed means you go to valhalla i mean it's also expert line delivery by nicholas holt why don't i stop you and then we can talk about witnessing stuff i have a theory about max's immortality and i'll get to that in part two but for now sand is pretty soft honestly if i had a nitpick there's really no surviving this crash in fact i'd say the one at the end that does kill nux is tamer than this one but if the main character not dying at the end of the first act ruins the movie for you fury road might not be your champ but look he's shocked his ears are ringing and morton joe is laughing at his brain what more do you want other than broken bones no skin and death but seriously if anyone can sell i'm tired of constantly being in crash is better he's definitely too old to play max anymore also watch out hank sandman's coming for you goodness pick a joke the win here is the way slow-mo and muted sounds are used to show that max isn't recovering because his iv line pushed air into his bloodstream once we hear the hiss of the air escaping he starts to feel better i wonder if that will come up later ah not the first time max has had a dud in his favorite double barrel shot off shotgun he immediately resorts to chewing knox's hand off to detach from him meaning they were right about the muzzle but even that can't stop never satisfied to let someone just bang on something miller's gotta turn it into music love it the whole backstory of the wives is explained in the comics in detail but this is such simple visual storytelling there's really no confusion at this point we've just briefly seen ang harid crawling out of the back so when max stumbles onto a bunch of supermodels all scantily clad and white literally bathing themselves his eyes refocus multiple times because he doesn't believe what he's seeing and we've seen what most people look like at the citadel so it's clear that they're special then we see the medieval chastity belt with joe's logo and that inherit is very pregnant the pieces are all easy to put together and no one said a word and if you remember the message they left joe earlier it's crystal clear you obviously isn't going to want the only warrior among them to come near him with bolt cutters that she can't operate without her mechanical arm anyway i think it's time max admitted that shotgun shells are just unreliable in the wasteland the speed ramping and missing frames always enhancing every set piece with something new and engaging poor knox immediately getting knocked unconscious again after just waking up is not good for your brain the simple tension of the gun barrel scraping against the tanker now that's some teamwork chambering that round by catching the front sight on his boot would get john wick all hot and bothered that look almost as if he's realized he's met his equal kill switches we know max has an affinity for booby trapping his falcon so it's rigged to blow in case it gets stolen booby trapped touch those tanks and hey the saw marks from earlier are still there huh the side view makes it clear that max's muzzle is actually a small garden rake of some kind that's where the round handle goes in furiosa casually giving away that there's a knife hidden in the gear shifter but only to us ah capable has max's old binoculars and ang hard has the gyro captain's telescope yes i realize i'm pronouncing her name differently every single time i'm coming to count the cost i always thought this was just capable being poetic but that's actually his thing he does it later on we are down 30 000 units of gasoline i've always loved the way the war rig takes off once max reconnects the hydraulic line like the camera can't keep up i'm sure you've always noticed nux coming up off the fifth wheel but did you see him in every wide shot slowly making his way to the front we're not to blame and who killed the world i get real subtle miller love you for it and another wide geography establishing shot showing us the three different war parties converging on our heroes and then revealing our next secondary antagonists the rock riders never a wasted second i mean seriously they had to have graded her eyes because they're usually a blue green and i literally don't even have a name for this color the grease looks almost dark teal and my book pickup lines from the waistline is currently on sale for a rabbit skin and two ounces of human hair you think this door painting creates a phantom limb sensation for furiosa so i can't say for sure if this is deliberate or not but in the prequel comic unherod says she wonders if furiosa used to be a wife and became an imperator after she served her purpose and her clothing has me wondering if joe didn't try to remove her femininity it's also possible that this is just how she likes to dress and it's practical i also wouldn't blame her for trying to separate herself from the appearance of being one of joe's wives 3 000 gallons of gasoline just like you asked i know gasoline is the preferred nomenclature now but i really have to question if it's all based on bruce spence's delivery in road warrior the smell of gasoline says some gasoline the embedded subtitles say gasoline but his accent is thick and don't y'all aussies say petrol anyway i like that it could just be a game of telephone through time i've read some confused takes on why furiosa decided to break the deal and a lot of decisions are made quickly so i can understand the confusion the biggest issue for the rock riders is not that they'd necessarily have to fight off three war parties but that there's no way this will be a secret deal anymore and immortan joe doesn't seem like the forgiving type you said a few vehicles in pursuit maybe she says earlier that i'm supposed to be alone so once anhara groans and the rock riders hear her she knows it's over i think variosa always knew this was the likely outcome i mentioned center framing an image focal point earlier there are a million videos talking about this and most of them use john seal's example which was for this scene where the cuts are really fast and everything pretty much stays center frame the idea here is that your eyes don't have to dart all over the screen to follow the action one thing i haven't seen talked about as much is what happens in this short scene the vast majority of the action still takes place in the center but your focus is shifted fluidly miller and seal pull your eyes from one side of the screen to the other left to right right to left left to right and right to center when it's done well you don't even notice the storm is a really good static example no matter where the action ends in a cut the next cuts focal point starts in the same position never noticed the produce before i tell ya one of my favorite things about max is that he's always on top of everything determining what's important in a split second he knew as soon as zanghar started making noise he needed to get in the driver's seat and was off the second furiosa yelled fool and not but a few minutes ago he was keeping all the guns away from furiosa but that time is gone and there's nothing to discuss no if you want to live i need a gun he already knows before she even sits down goofiest custom built tank you ever did see and it was truly custom built like irl this is another one of my favorite scenes that explicitly creates action center frame with each grenade explosion but still uses focal point shifting to make what could otherwise be a chaotic set piece intelligible together with the more optimistic score given the delight of furiosa and max working together the entire thing plays out like a symphony [Music] man if looks could kill it also fits into her comic backstory because her job was to protect the wives from rictus ah potential self-sacrifice to protect furiosa and the confirmation that the silver spray paint is just like so you can look like a car entering the afterlife again love that joe created this religious dogma that has a surface meaning but obviously convincing your cult followers to huff paint right before doing something crazy for you is win-win poor warboy oh brutal hey at least they learned from the last time one of them tried to cut the chain it takes teamwork resourcefulness although winning resourcefulness and mad max is like winning lens flare in a jj film what's left to be taken out and i'm just noticing that the stacks have some kind of cloth wrapped around them which i can only assume is to make them not so hot so they can be used when climbing around the outside yeah so angered's death is max's fault since she slipped on her own blood the fact that they don't blame him speaks to his importance to their escape and survival ha his mask's mouth is open that's terrible you really shouldn't cry your grease might run but have you noticed that she looks like she was on the verge of tears throughout most of the movie so far probably from the dust or maybe eye drops because of the dust and if i printed you a picture of this color could you mix me a gallon of paint for all of my walls pick up lines from the wasteland audiobook now available with every chrome spray can purchase that feels like a good spot to stop because this video is already so long and we're only at the one hour mark can we get fury road done in only two parts who knows hope you all love it as much as i do or if you didn't maybe will now next week part two you
