Second viewing. Spoilers galore.
There has been an uncharacteristically high
number of people who have pulled me aside to talk about this movie. With both
positive and negative comments, George Miller has made a big splash. You don’t
hear these kind of passionate arguments, yay or nay, about Avengers 2. George
Miller has lit a fuse, and it’s exciting. The second viewing helped me notice a
lot more of the post-apocalyptic weirdness in the script. Many of the lines
made me crack up with delight. Describing anything tragic or unfortunate as,
“mediocre!” The warboys obsession with Valhalla and chrome. The slave drummers,
and the slave with the flaming guitar. The cancer. Those kinds of quirks are
forbidden by big studios. Which makes me think that Miller and company received
less studio interference than normal. Which is great. I hope this movie makes a
billion dollars.
