Third viewing.
The last movie I saw three times in
the theater is Casino Royale, so "Fury Road" is special. One of the topics that
keeps coming up is that this movie is secretly a piece of feminism. “We are not
things,” the breeders declare, as they try and escape. One of them cuts off a
brutal looking chastity belt. Uttering two simple lines, you can easily
conclude that Imperator Furiosa was one of those breeders; a sex slave who
found a new job as a warrior when she reached a certain age. In this movie,
women represent all things good. And they free the world from the tyranny of
man. And Max helps out a little, but only when needed. Is it a piece of
feminism? Ask yourself that after you tune into Jurassic World and watch Bryce
Dallas Howard run through the jungle in high heels.
