So, I saw Mad Max: Fury Road. It was great. It was epic. It was filled with ‘holy SHIT’ moments and you want to know the best part?
No ‘show me the tits!’ scenes. I sat through two hours of action packed-everything is on fire-rock music blasting-explosions every five minutes and did not once have to cringe my way through a character being stripped so we could see their ass or a random sex scene because the hero ‘needs’ to get laid at least once or women just there to be hot and be rescued. Consider at least half the cast is recently freed sex slaves this is freaking amazing. I know most of the sex slaves names, heck, I can even tell you some of their characteristics beyond ‘red head’ or ‘blond’. This movie treated them like people and made sitting through 100% percent funner.
That’s not even getting into how Max’s insanity is portrayed neither as a power-up similar to berserker fury or something he just needs to ‘get over’. He’s crazy. Everyone knows that he is crazy, but that does not mean he is not worthy of decency or respect.
Thanks Mad Max, for giving me a balls-to-the-walls action movie free of all the sexist, ableist, faux-philosophical speeches, bullshit I usually have to endure. See you on the Fury Road.
