Mad Max: Fury Road
by George Miller is nothing short of a spectacle. The wide screen
magic lasted quite long, but the epic scenes were spilled all over the movie.
Though the story is
as simple as Damsels in distress; the
visual appeal and scope of the
movie is the one I've been wanting to see for
quite a while now. There's
magic in the light that hits the silver screen, and few movies make
use of it. I remember crouching down like the
first audience of 'The Great Train Robbery'
during some parts of
the movie. The visuals were spell-bounding, yet not so overwhelming
to distract you
from the story.
It's
one big chase with artful sensibilities of Tim Burton and epic in
scale like that of Sergio Leone's films. There were very limited dialogue,
which was a blessing for I was watching in a local theater that
played a dubbed version. I felt like the movie should have ended a bit
earlier.
I
remember when I yelled to my friend beside me in the theater, “machan
Surreal da”. There were so many action sequences, yet never did I
feel lost in the mayhem. The 70 year old director has pulled of
such a feat and has gained millions of new fans to the franchise.
The
after effects of the movie is quite lasting, it has been more than
three days since I watched the movie. Still I remember the shock and awe I
had while the sandstorm sequence played. The lightening was made to
illuminate the scene in different tone, I felt like I was high on
shrooms watching this sequence.
