All the gangs and the chases were so off the chain.

I don't know breh. I was looking forward to seeing the flick at first, but that feminism sh!t is a bit of a turn-off. I'm not an avid movie-goer, might check out at the most two films a year. This year it was looking like Mad Max, and the NWA biopic. Still, I hate seeing films politicized. I was under the impression that the feminists lauding the film simply saw things in the film that they could relate to, and that would have been fine with me. We all from time to time see something in a film that resonates with our belief system. Then I read he consulted the woman from the Vagine Monologues, and now Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron are saying it's a feminism film in more words or less. Multiple and credible reviews are calling it a feminist film. Don't get me wrong, I think MRA dudes are corny in the same way that feminists are, even though both sides occassionally make points that I can ride with. Still, unless a movie is explicately political or social minded in nature, then I don't want to be preached to subversely. I'm probably not going to see it, and it's not that I'm boycotting it, but if it is a feminist film, it's not for me. I'll pass. And just like all the other films I missed througout the years, it will be less than a memory to me in the very near future. Still, I do have to salute the producers for what appears to be a proper reboot of a franchise. Looks like Hollywood got it right this time, minus the feminism bull sh!t.

It's not any more of a feminist movie than Terminator 2 or Aliens is unless you really want to make an issue out of women not being depicted as weak cowards. It's definitely not political with it, in fact I can only name one scene that feels like it had a bit of a feminist push to it when Max fails at something twice in a row and Furiosa kinda barges in to take over for him and nails it in one shot. That's it.

Lol, those MRA dudes sound like white people complaining about movies with blacks in positions of power. you gotta be a real bytchmade muthafukka to be intimidated by an alpha female

 

[Drew Wonder]

if I'm not mistaken, those are the same dudes who blamed Elliot Roger going on a killing spree on women. So f%ck their opinions on anything

 

[Drew Wonder]

Anyway, I'm tryna convince my girl to see this with me. Looks like I can use the female empowerment angle

A+ response

Did you check the old ladies and imperator furiosa when Max wasn't around. Yes, he helped motivate them to turn back around, but the idea that he guided all of their moves is ridiculous.

I think people are really just blowing this out of proportion. The movies just depicts women who aren't waiting around for a savior, and who are a product of their environment, which means they have some nerve and skills necessary to survive. It's not like Charlize's character dominates over every man in the movie. In other words, calm your t*ts, and go check it out.

I didn't say he guided all of their moves just at the climax. It was more so making them realize that "160 days of riding into sea sands" or whatever it was, was a pending mistake.

I think it will be interesting to see how the next films unfold.

Well, I agree with all of that

That's it.

I thought about that too breh, looking back at Aliens and T2, and other female characters throughout the years like Xena, the girl from the second Riddikk, and others that are slipping my mind right now, etc.. Any of those, I can understand a feminist relating to, and all of those are female characters that I can rock with. I don't recall any of those characters being associated with feminism, yet, I can understand if feminists would identify with them and that would be ok with me. Sh!t I wouldn't have a choice but to be ok with it anyway. Free country. My beef is, with this, beyond simply identifying with it, it's coming off like it is in fact a propaganda piece. From the director, to the consultant, the actors, actresses, critics, Hollywood in general, etc., the whole thing comes off like a conspiracy or elaborate(not to sound like a nut) agenda with multiple participants from various backgrounds. Considering Hollywood style liberalism, it's not a stretch.

Even the premise, with Furiosa rescuing the harem, reminds me of how some arrogant and condescending feminists see themselves as being the savior for females even if those same females don't realize or acknowledge the benefits they've gained as a result of feminism. For the past couple of years since 3rd wave feminism has become the latest fad, it's noteworthy when someone states how/why they're not a feminist, the feminists swoop in like vultures to not only educate them, but to shame them. It's like their own little twisted version of saving the damsel in distress. In some cases they even seek to appropriate women and men for the cause using the argument that if you agree with the textbook definition of feminism, than obviously you're a feminist. Admittedly, if no mention of feminism was ever brought up since this film's buzz picked up, I would have never associated it with feminism. Now since it's a topic, it's almost like the film is tainted to me. I see feminism in the film where it shouldn't be obvious. Almost how feminists see sexism where it's not obvious or even non-existant. Anyways, I'll pass on it.

"Men's rights activists" no such thing. Cac males have everything they want

bruh I see your point, but if you're gonna call out Mad Max for having an agenda, then I hope you call out just about every major studio action/comedy film that's ever been made. the whole damsel in distress or "magical quirky girl who teaches a guy how to understand himself" character has been in just about every comedy and action film. every director has an agenda, whether they're blatant about it or not. the audience is free to interpret it however they wish. that's what makes it art, good or bad. there's no such thing as a completely objective movie. but, you did say you don't really watch movies like that and considering your stance, I completely understand why
