Mad Max

Mad Max

George Miller

To be honest I didn’t really like this film. I do credit as being one of the most influential films in Australia’s history. It placing Mel Gibson into the big time and gave George Miller the success he needed to be noted as a director. It helped people take notice of Australian film.

                                                                    

The film pushes the “mad car” movement in Australian film at the time into overdrive with its extreme stunts and visual action which are still amazing to watch, even with today’s remarkable CG work to contrast by.

 

I found it a bit long. I like to be heavily mentally engaged in film. This is just a personal attitude but it was very “action” for me almost as if the story had be placed around the stunts.
