Watch Mad Max: Fury Road 2015 HD online

Mad Max: Fury Road 2015 An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of the planet, in a desert scene where humankind is broken, and everybody is bemused fighting to the essentials of life. Within this world exist just two rebels.

Action that never stops, decent commie themes, very original story, and amazing effects. I guess they didn’t need to make the main protagonist a white dude, otherwise it’s the one film I can watch again and again.

Am I allowed to post links pirate sites or is that banned??

    The first time I watched Fury Road I was on acid and didn’t know anything about it beforehand. It was such a profound experience that my whole perspective on media changed. The shitty part is that filming it was hell for everyone involved b/c of extensive use of practical vehicles (they actually built almost every car in the movie) and working in the middle of a literal desert for the whole process. So when people complain about the trailer for the Furiosa film having “too much CGI” it just seems silly. Miller correctly decided not to put everyone through that shit again and if the stories are anything to go by, that’s easily the correct choice. Plus it still looks pretty good, I will get ungodly high and go see it opening night with my friends bakunin-immortan

    I watched this with my husband at home after months of hearing hype about it. We have no prior experience with Mad Max anything, except knowledge of the general style vibe that has permeated the culture. We laughed in astonishment and confusion for most of the movie, and at the end wondered what the fuck. We have always meant to revisit it, but never gotten around to it.

    I would love to drink of your Mad Max koolaid. Help my autistic brain understand what the fuck I watched and why everyone continues to be so fucking stoked about it?

    I know they did a lot of practical effects in a way that is basically unheard of anymore, and that’s the one tiny part of the reverence that I understand and share. I am dying to get in on the rest of it. Would any of you like to just go the fuck off about it or is there a blog post I should read?

      it’s cool. it rules. it fuckin slaps. explosions, racing, overthrowing a reactionary tyrant. the real journey is the friends we made along the way (also seizing the means of water)

    Max is more a point of view character than a hero per se. It’s really Furiosa’s story, he has an arc but he’s more there to witness their struggle than to upstage anyone. In my opinion at least.

      I think that’s been the case since Road Warrior. He really just wants to be left alone, but happens to stumble across other people’s stories from time to time. When he helps out, it’s usually the bare minimum to keep himself alive and to get back to being alone as quickly as possible. Like you say, as a story device he’s just our eyes into their world.

        Apparently George has described Max as not really being a person, but rather a folk hero character whose tales are told around campfires. “this is the story about the time Mad Max went to Bartertown, where he met Masterblaster and helped him escape Aunty Entity.” “This is the story about the time Mad Max met Furiosa, the great Imperator, and how he helped her overthrow the warlord Immortan Joe.” Like he’s the frame narrative, the perspective character a bard uses to introduce the real story. /
