Mad Max first burst onto the scene in 1979 to tell a story about a dope Australian apocalypse. But 4 sequels later, we're still left in awe by director George Miller's coherent vision about power, life, and death - as seen in these films and also, incredibly, his children's movie, Babe. We'll explain all in this Wisecrack Edition on Mad Max: How To Reclaim Your Humanity - ft. Babe.

I still think Tom Hardy's Max is actually that ferrel kid from the last movie, he didn't have a name. But in deciding to stand for something he takes the name of the only hero he'd ever known, the man who stood for the same thing, Max.
@Stray7 4 жыл бұрын
That's one theory I've heard (though wasn't the feral kid from Road Warrior?). I've also heard the theory that the Mad Max films are about a mythological figure in the post-apocalyptic world, one who has stories told about them showing up and helping troubled people again and again but who might not have ever really existed -- the original film was the story told about Max shortly before or shortly after the societal collapse (when it still resembled the former world), and then The Road Warrior, Beyond Thunderdome, and Fury Road are all tales told by societies in the wasteland as a unifying origin myth.

@@Stray7 It seems more logical that The Individual called Max Wha(can never say his last name) was a real person.. who went through real tragedy. But he is dead, and has been for a long time. But splinters of his legacy (history) gets passed down through a selective lucky (unlucky) few, who feel obligated to stand up to The Chaos of The World. And call themselves Max. Needless to say, these individuals are also suffering from traumatic psychosis of some sort. But there has to be a physical link between all the name-barers. A journal mayhaps, with Max's family's pictures. In short he's pretty much The Dreaded Pirate Roberts of The Wasteland. 😅

This you know: the years travel fast, and time after time I done the tell. But this ain't onebody's tell. It's the tell of us all, and you've gotta listen and to 'member, 'cause what you hears today you gotta tell the newborn tomorrow. I's lookin' behind us now into history back. I sees those of us who got the luck and started the haul for home, and I 'members how it led us here and how we was heartful 'cause we seen what there once was. One look and we knewed we'd got it straight. Those what had gone before had the knowin' and the doin' of things beyond our reckonin' - even beyond our dreamin'. Time counts and keeps countin', and we knows now: finding the trick of what's been and lost ain't no easy ride, but that's our track. We gotta travel it, and there ain't nobody knows where it's gonna lead. Still in all, every night we does the tell so that we 'member who we was and where we came from. But most of all we 'members the man who finded us, him that came to salvage. And we lights the city, not just for him, but for all of him that are still out there. 'Cause we knows there'll come a night when they sees the distant light and they'll be comin' home. - Savannah Nix - Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985)

Also, Shirtless, scarf-wearing Fifi professing a need for heroes in dark times, as he cares for his plants, is one of my favorite scene from the franchise, and recontextualizes Max's journey.

if you think vegans don't contribute to modern necropolitics, you're an idiot. Vegans depend on a worldwide industrial food distribution system, which both directly and indirectly kills people while warming the planet and destroying the natural world. Unless they live in the tropics, that is. Necropolitics is the inevitable result of Capitalism gone out of control. You want to opt out of it? become a Mennonite or something. Otherwise, get off your high horse.

@@sophiejones7727 I never said we can opt out. You're right, necropolitics IS an inevitable result of capitalism, and I think the incentives for exploitation are there even in milquetoast capitalism. Some would say "There's no ethical consumption under capitalism", but I'd go as far as to say that whether ethical consumption is possible under any system remains to be seen. That said, not all systems and consumption equally bad. The problem with your attack is that you're wrong. An average western meat-based diet contributes to climate change much more than a plant-based one, because transport is actually a fairly small part of the carbon footprint of food. You only need to google "carbon footprint of diets". Also, you may have heard that South American rain forests are being cut down to grow soy. This is true, but almost all of that soy goes to feed American livestock. There are activist movements campaigning end it, but ~150 environmental activists are killed annually. Likewise, the burning of rain forests under Bolsanaro wasn't started by vegans. It wouldn't even make sense... If the goal is to save animal lives, burning rain forests would hardly be the logical path to take, wouldn't you agree? The funny thing is, I wasn't even trying to make a moralistic statement. Even when ignoring animal rights and environmental effects, it'd be really difficult to deny that as the animal industry is designed to kill billions of animals globally every year, it is one of the purest (if not THE purest) implementations of necropolitics in human history. And I did say that Cromwell walked away from that specific implementation, not that he walked away from all of them. Or that I have.
@joaovilaca1436 4 жыл бұрын
@@sophiejones7727 that's why people despise anti-capitalism. You're a shame to the movements that fight capitalism back. You're arrogant. You think you're so intelligent that you get drunk on the little knowledge you have that makes you feel authorized and capable to humiliate others. Grow up. You're just obnoxious. You're not smart. Go read some books on how to deal with people who does not have the same degree as knowledge as you or how to deal with people in general. And keep in mind that this was not even the case here.

As Gendo always says, Shinji can go away any time, he will use rey. And when Shinji refused to act as him intended, he activated the dummy plug. He also outright used Ritsuko and Ritsuko's mom. Gendo is a sick fuck. Rei is also a tool, a doll as Asuka nicknames her. She does what its told her to do without question or hesitation, but likewise the George miller's characters, she transcends this state when she kills herself to save Shinji from Armisael and when she gives Shinji control over Instrumentality. So yeah, there's a lot in common.

Perfectly prescient for the current predicament permeating our planet. You guys knocked it out of the park, again!

I love the philosophical stuff in here but the most mind blowing thing in here is how long I have loved the movie babe and never realized who the director was

Great video!! Just a little detail... although Miller worked in "Babe" as a writer and producer, it was directed by Chris Noonan. "Babe: Pig in the City" (the sequel) has been directed by George Miller.

George Miller made Happy Feet? Whoah, so that's why I love that movie and I thought it was Footloose for kids.

Great video! Another way that Fury Road demonstrates the mechanization of human bodies is the presence of the “Organic Mechanic” rather than simply a “Doctor” or “medic”.

Excellent video! Never thought of seeing Mad Max through Foucault's and Mbembe's lenses, and it actually completely changes my opinion of Fury Road as a dumb flick where a bunch of people drive somewhere just to turn around and drive back again. Thank you!
