10 Reasons why you should go see Mad Max: Fury Road

redpendreaming:

1. Mad Max is the lead/franchise, but he doesn’t have many speaking lines. This is really Furiosa’s story that Max wanders into.

2. FURIOSA. She’s disabled and has some awesome prosthetics and no one comments on this or turns it into a “she succeeds in spite of her lack of limb” story. Literally she is the best.

3. SO MANY WOMEN. SO MANY SPEAKING ROLES FOR WOMEN.

4. The women literally declare “we are not things!”

5. They’re clearly escaping sex slavery but the movie doesn’t linger on that or sexualize the girls in light of that. All of the girls have different and unique reactions to their situation and it’s beautiful.

6. The movie also doesn’t make Max out to be the “oh you poor women escaping sex slavery let me take over your mission and take you to safety.” Nah bro. Furiosa leads this and lets everyone know who’s in charge. 

7. FLAME THROWING GUITAR 

8. IT’S LIKE A TWO AND A HALF HOUR LONG CAR CHASE

9. POST APOCALYPTIC WOMEN KICKING ASS

10. MRAS HATE IT.
