Big ol' Longo Part One: Introductions (Rough) (Patreon)
Content
Here's the rough cut of Part One of the next video, tentatively titled Bringing Back What's Stolen: Fury Road and the Avenging Feminine. It's an in-depth look at when and how women have historically been "allowed" to be violent in the movies, how many of the tropes of action movies are about soothing the ego of the presumed-male audience, and how Fury Road draws on some parts of these conventions while often flat-out rejecting them.
Be aware: This is much rougher than the previews y'all usually get. The audio is a mess, many of the clips may get changed, I don't have a lot of graphics done, there's no intro, a lot of the titles are stand-ins, and there are a number of planned script revisions that will improve the flow. Just... know that it will look and sound better in the final version.
I'll get you Part Two as soon as I can!
