The Splendid Angharad And Capable Be Like...

The Splendid Angharad and Capable be like...

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

So Mad Max: Fury Road and Snowpiercer are basically complementary post-apocalyptic films that share a lot of socio-political themes and complex characters. Don't believe me? Well...

There's the totally badass chief protagonist without a left forearm who wants to defeat the antagonist ruling over the oppressed (Curtis Everett and Imperator Furiosa).

There's the taciturn secondary protagonist who is also great but really lets the chief protagonist do all the cool shit (Max Rockatansky and Namgoong Minsoo).

There's the brutal antagonist who abuses a position of power to control the lower class and not to mention having a really hideous set of false teeth (Minister Mason and Immortan Joe).

There's the gung-ho and eager-to-please adorable younger sidekick who ends up dying for a good cause (Nux and Edgar).

There's also the supporting female character who's never portrayed in a sexualized manner, and who's a bit weird and eccentric and has a heightened sense of awareness that allows her to see things before other people (Yona Minsoo and The Dag).

Instead of rushing towards the skyline I wish that I could just be brave I must become a lion-hearted girl Ready for a fight Before I make the final sacrifice

While trying to click the Dashboard button on the menu bar, I accidentally clicked on the Explore button instead and I was rather pleased to see that on the recommended searches section, Tumblr is featuring top search terms that were Mad Max: Fury Road related. Doing it right, Tumblr, because this movie is FUCKING BOSS.

Oh, and that photo of a hot male model in the black tank top probably helped too, so yeah. >_<

NOW THIS IS HOW A FUCKING ACTION MOVIE ABUSING THE GODDAMN BLUE-AND-ORANGE CONTRAST PALETTE SHOULD LOOK LIKE OKAY?! ALL THE CINEMATIC LESSERS SHOULD BOW THE FUCK DOWN TO THE HYPER-SATURATED AND GORGEOUSLY VIVID COLORS OF MAD MAX: FURY ROAD

Step right up, chum, and watch the kid lay down a rubber road, ride to freedom!

OMFG THIS IS EVERYTHING

pandreaa made an excellent observation about Mad Max really being a family road trip.
