This was such a visceral, raw and deeply symbolic film! I knew it was going to be intense and chaotic based on the 'Thriller' and 'Action' tags but what I didn't expect was how powerful the storyline was. Survival. Freedom. Fighting to reclaim your voice in a world that strips it all away. It was a story about breaking toxic cycles, reclaiming what was stolen.Huge thank you to Maz for using his movie ticket to pick this one! What a way to close out this round of Movie Tickets. I seriously loved every single pick! Each one brought something different and special to the channel. It's been a pleasure watching all of them with you!

oh boy. *interrupts everything* let's in fact go.

One of my favorite films and an absolute masterpiece of action films. I know it by heart, and every time it keeps me in suspense and makes my heart beat faster. All accompanied by blood, sand, explosions, bullets, metal and madness. I love and adore it.

such a banger of an action movie 🥹, gritty and emotional, barely ever cheesy for how over the top everything else is.. extremely cool rewatch, actually that motivated me to finally watch the Furiosa movie :x I really don't have much to add, I just really enjoy that it has such a rich environment/props storytelling, the number of details and object that are repurposed in this post-apocalyptic world is actually funny to try to spot, and yes the mystery around much of the lore is very cool (now I have to admit I might miss a lot of it by having not seen the original ones.. but still.. ) thanks for sharing c: (btw since you spoke of rewatchability..I think? and I think there's a version of the movie that was released with a black and white colorimetry "remaster", that could be an interesting way to renew (maybe enrich) the experience c: )

The utterly deranged and bonkers world of Mad Max is somehow created and directed by the same guy behind the Happy Feet movies 🐧 This movie is a technical marvel though. George Miller chose his wife to edit the movie because she had never cut an action movie before and that if it were to be edited by "the usual kind of guys, it would look like every other action movie we see."⁠ She won the Oscar that year for editing. It also won for Sound Mixing and Sound Editing, as well as Costume Design, Hair & Makeup, and Production design.

Fun watch-along, great to see the mix of films. Definitely a favorite of mine as well.

Jumping into this movie and world for the first time is such a cool, awe inspiring experience. And I was blessed to see this one in theaters, and it was incredible. All the sounds and music pumping *loud* was just so good. So thank you so much for sharing your experience and allowing me to relive that 'first time' feeling again! Just for the action and sound design alone, this is an all time movie for me. It literally has its foot on the gas (pun intended lol) from the first minute and never lets go. But then beyond just that, there's also so much heart, emotion, and weight, even without a lot of dialogue. I love the comparison you made to Hellblade! This is the first time I've watched this movie ever since experiencing those games through you playthroughs, and I totally see the parallels. Love that as we gain more experiences, even movies that we've watched so many times can be seen through a new light This movie really is so over the top sometimes that you just can't help but laugh. Gas town, the bullet farm, the whole convoy chase situation leaving the front door of the Citadel open; it just doesn't take itself seriously at all and I love that. And most of all, our favorite, the guitarist LOL. In the theater, as soon as I saw the first scene with him in it, I just smiled and knew the wild ride I was about to be in for haha I think you'll like this little fun fact about the editing: The director didn't want this movie to just feel like any other action movie, so he gave all the footage to his wife to edit. She worked on it for two years to create this masterpiece and won the Oscar for best editing :) This movie really is so me haha, and embodies so much of what I love. Even down to Max's character. And it gave me a laugh that you already were calling out the reasons why I picked this one in the intro haha. So thanks again for the reaction! Was a great time watching this movie with you!

Wow! Been a minute since I’ve watched this one. Great reaction Kali! The details and mythology are really quite in depth in this film. Even though they don’t explain much of it, all the details really make this universe seem rich and three dimensional. Not just a two dimensional post apocalyptic world I was particularly fascinated with all the religious undertones and how Immortan Joe used it to control the Warboys. Even words like Citadel, took on a religious connotation And the action is just insane! And the way they filmed certain scenes at a slightly slower frame rate giving it a frenetic feel. And the sound design is awesome! Fun reaction!

Hey Kali I’m new to your Pat. But I’m a been a Yt subscriber for a while , this is my absolute favorite movie. I am a huge mad max nerd and I have seen every movie played the game and read the graphic novel of Fury road. If you have any questions about the lore of mad max I recommend the graphic novel and the game and the Furiosa movie. The old ones with Mel Gibson are good too. And about your last comment of Max being the support is the nail on the head for most of the movies. George Miller (the creator) has said that max is more like a placeholder for the audience. We are experiencing the world through max. This is true with the other movies except the first one, that one is about max and why he is the way he is. The game is also about max and goes into a lot of lore on what happened to the world. So if you want to watch more mad max I’m definitely down to do that, but I’m just glad you liked it.

Maz thank you SO much for this action-packed chaosy passion into the mix with your movie ticket! I can only imagine how absolutely electrifying this was to see in theatres. The sounds, the booms, the fire, the guitarist bahaha! He was pure chaotic brilliance! And you nailed exactly what made this movie hit so hard for me as well. It doesn't stop moving. But somehow it still manages to carve out deeper moments of humanity and heart. I'm so glad you felt the Hellblade comparison too!! I knew you would. There's a similar rhythm to the silence, stares and the feeling of surviving in a world that's stripped you of everything. Also that editing fact is incredible!!! What! Talk about a labor of love lol. No wonder why it feels so distinct and alive. That seriously makes me appreciate this film so much more. I saw someone else in the comments mention that there is a black and white edition of this one that was released and I would love to rewatch it that way! This film was so incredible and surprisingly deep. And I'm so glad that my first time watching helped take you back to those times too! I'm really grateful to have shared this ride (pun intended lol) with you!

I completely agree! The worldbuilding in this was so layered and I absolutely loved the mythology and religion within it. Even though the world is baren, sandy, and chaotic. It feels so lived in and real. Like this could actually be a possible future of madness. You can tell there's history, ritual, and belief systems baked into every detail. From the steering wheel shrine to the war paint. And you're so right that Joe essentially builds a cult of scarcity and survival. It's chilling, but so fascinating at the same time. So glad you enjoyed your rewatch with me! This movie was insane in the best ways.

Hey Dax! Welcome to the patreon side of things! 💛 I can totally see why you love this film so much! And I really appreciate you sharing your insight. Seeing Max as more of a vessel or witness honestly gave me a whole new perspective. That final moment with Furiosa seems even more powerful now with what you said in mind. I also didn't realize there is a graphic novel AND game!? That sounds like something I would love to explore. I'd be really excited to jump into more Mad Max films eventually as well after this first look. Mel Gibson?? Say less 👀🔥 Thanks again for hanging out for this one! Hopefully I can jump down the Mad Max rabbit hole again soon with more films!

I didn’t know that about the editing. That’s really cool. The editing in a generic action movie is not something I pay attention to but in this film it’s jarring in a way that fits the movie so well. She did a great job and that’s a well deserved Oscar!
