Location
The location of Mad Max is hot, desert type of place that looked like it had no life but just mountains of sand, with a golden orange landscape around it. It was a really dry wasteland that was in bright day light.
The location changes through out the first 20 mins of the movie from a dusty, abandon, bright and sandy desert to a dark room with many people doing multiple things to that one person. As Max escapes the gang members that are using him and branding him, by running away inside the hideout through dark tunnels , that had many doors which led to a place with pipes and water. A he keeps running he runs out of one of the doors into cliff where one man falls off. As you see in this scene there is green plants on top of the cliff which is a huge difference form what we see in the movie |
Mad mAX
Hair and make up
When we first see Max, we see him as a man with long messy hair and beard that looks like it hasn't been washed or maintained in ages. This would show Max only cares about important things and not about looks.The hair was dirty long and messy which looked like he has been away from civilization for a long time.
When Max is taken away in the next scene ,you cans ee that he is being used as if he was an object if some soort as they are shaving his long hair off his fac and his head and getting tattooed ( human branding , blood type eat..)

The men that was from the gang was waring the type of make up that made them look white ,pale and unhealthy that made them look unhuman like compared to mad max that had a tan, had hair and looked well.

Furiosa
Actions |
Furiosa's actions in the beginning shows the that she is the captain of the small group that she was handling.
She had stolen the girls from the leader , which was his prize breeders. She is a a very skilled woman that could multitask with driving and fighting and using the guns as she was avoiding traps and making plans whist going through the whole situation,making it look like she has done this before as her face expression looks calm. Her actions were making it look like as if she was the hero to the girls that she was protecting. Furious looks was if she was danger loving as she was willing to take risks and not scared of the whole outcome. Looks as if sh has been doing this for a long time. |
Furiosa dose not show any weakness even at tough times. When it came down to when mad Max had found them and asked the girls to break the chain she kept a very still face. But she closely examined mad max before doing a full on rugby tackle to show that she is committed on saving the girls and keeping them safe no matter what happens.By doing this she was doing a full on fight and try to blow Max's head off with a gun.
She try negotiating with mad max knowing that he can't away with the war rig as it is only works under her control and that proves that she has more power and skill as she has tricked out the vehicle . She also spits when ever she want which is not lady like. She has a very sophisticated sequence for the war rig showing that she is not only skill full and a great fighter but that she is very intelligent. Meaning that she is well planned at what she is doing. As she is fighting she wants the gun for protecting and for fighting off her enemies. When the get stuck and the gun had only three bullets Mad max try's being the hero and shoots at the car but misses twice and then Furiosa watches but mad max looks at her and gives her the gun,knowing that she is more skill full and better at these situations and that she is the hero and would solve the problem . This shows that they are both equal as they did before previously in the movie while working together. Furiosa has the guns and orders max not to move as she uses him as support for the gun and shots aiming straight into the light that they was using to locate Furiosa and the rest. As well as her fighting max she also helps him when his hand gets trapped showing that she still has emotions and cares about others. She also shows emotion to max when he goes into the dark toward the danger and when he comes back to see if he is okay as he risked him self to help the others. When furisoa is driving into a the dessert one of the wives see something and furious realises its something she remembers the tower in the middle of no where and there is a woman and knows how to handle the situation by shouting information. Pushes far to she her strength over things to show she is caring .But when she finds out that she went past the green place and its no longer a place her dreams are shattered and she walks away and screams and maybe questions on what she is going to do now. Knows more about fighting and can tell thats it wasn’t him bleeding but it was someone else’s blood She is also caring over mad max and his sleep and told him to rest as she looked much more tried than him. We get a back story of Furisoa and find out what has happened to her in the past and how she had been stolen and her mum had died with in three days and how she waited 7000 days to come back to the ‘green place’.This makes us feel sympathy over what has happened to her. we also get a flash back of mad max. Furious shows that she is protective over mad max even though she hasn’t known him that long.Protects him when fighting. Max helps furioa by giving her his blood just like he did with the war boy in the beginning of he movie this shows that he cares about furiosa by holding her and telling her everything will be alright.He is very careful over her as he was quite aggressive to her in the movie when they was fighting. |
Furious as short cut hair that looks almost bold giving her the boyish look that makes her look more scary and less feminine.
Her make up and costume made her look as if she was a tough warrior with the messy make up, showing us that she really don't care about keeping up with her appearance and maybe one reason why she had cut her hair that short. She has black paint that looks like oil grease on her forehead also making it out that she don't care about being clean. Also indicates its war paint. Compared to the other girls in the movie , the girls look innocent and pure as where as Furiosa looked tough.

She has many different weapons and loads all over the inside of the war rig showing that she is well prepared and also tricked out the gear stick which is also a knife showing that she thought everything through.
They use the tree as a prop as they used it to help pull the war rig out. They also use a car door to shield themselves from being shot. |
preformace
The performance was really good from the actress Charlize Theron had made the character look as if she wasn't scared at all and as if she couldn't care which made her heroic that she was too busy doing things to care about little things such as appearance.
Also that by the actions from the actress made Furiosa tough by body lounge and facial expressions and by doing this it made it look like furiosa is not scare and that she is a tough girl and shows no mercy to anyone.

During all the commotion she keeps a straight face. But she still remained calm and controlled as she is the leader to help the girls.
Mad max sees her as a dangerous person as he can sense by the way she is dressed and her body language and facial expressions so he asks for the other girls.

Prefornace |
many mothers
preforance |
They shows tender and genteelness over the wives and furiosa.They get protective when they see the men showing that they don’t trust them and that may have had issues in the past with men.
They drive motorbikes down the sand dunes. They fight has if is it was their nature and as they have been doing this for a long time. They have fast relations for very old women they are the complete opposite to the wives as they are old and violent where as the wives are young and innocent. One of the many mothers has a bag of seeds and plants one when ever she can. This shows she is caring and that she is wise as she has seen things before they got destroyed. They move as a team as they are less of them. So they are protective over each other. They are very evil like as they make traps and leave one women look like she is in trouble and then can trap them by shooting them and closing in. |
costume ,har and make up |
Similar to Furiosa but they were dressed as men.They wore googled so you couldn’t see their eyes. They wore messy clothes that looked over worn and would be seen as rages.
Their hair was messy gray and wild to show they didn’t keep up with their appearance as they cared more at surviving. The make ump made them look more old and frail and that made them look delicate. |
* guns
*seeds *moterbike The guns and seeds make the mothers look couples as they are violent but still have a soft spot. There performance is also complex |

Its not men vs women but its more like the many mothers, the wives , Furiosa ,Mad max,and the war boy make as a team showing that they are not sexist.
To what extent does 'mad max :fury road' pass the test ,and does the film represent women positively?
In this movie the film is based on Furisoa than mad max , even though mad max is the tittle. Through out this movie it is about how Furisoa is helping the wives to escape to the place that furisoa once knew as the 'green land'. Furisoa is mostly shown as a strong independent woman that gets help when it is needed.
It does show some sort of sexism in the beginning when the man was in control to the women and uses them as objects but Furisoa changes it around as she is the opposite to what stereotypical woman would look like and does things that a woman would so such as being the leader and the hero to the wives.
One example to show that this movie is following the bechdel test is when one of the many mothers decides to talk to one of the wives about seeds and how they can change the future , the convocation was a detailed as they were talking about how they would farms and how things were and to the part when they were talking about the future.
Another scene would be when Furisoa is talking to the many wives on what had happened to her and when she decides to ask about where is the green land gone.
Furious is shown as the hero as she takes down Morton joe down (who is the most powerful person).She also didn't want max to walk away alone but wanted to add him to stop the way men are more superior than women in this movie as it looks as if only men have a saying or when the many wives didn't trust men , Furiosa is trying to break that as she is treating max as a equal.
