“Mad Max: Fury Road” in cinema – a film like a monster truck – Süddeutsche.de

Part one was good, part two founded the “Mad Max” feel, part three was especially Tina Turner. And part four – “Fury Road”? This hell convoy would simply crush the old movies under the wheels.

All Roadmovies shall be motorized. After all, they want to offer the audience a ride, crossing landscapes, interesting traveling companions glean along the way and arrive at the end somewhere. They are available in a wide variety of HP-classes and displacement sizes. “Mad Max: Fury Road”, which will be celebrating its world premiere in Cannes on Thursday and at the same time coming across the cinemas, is in this sense a monster truck, as it has not seen the world

” Mad Max: Fury Road “ battle on the streets of Wrath

Not new, a bit rusty, but upgraded and highly coiffed and reforged as if there was no tomorrow. In any giant truck is there again a Mercedes or VW-body welded on it. These shooting ranges and flamethrowers and defensive spines, armored shields and reaming blades and chains with grappling hook, ton extra tanks and nitro accelerator -. And because of the fun must not be neglected, even Lautspechertürme that could arrange all the guts in a new, open-air stadium

This hell convoy, once set in motion, would the old “Mad Max” movies, once the maximum cinematic engine power, simply crush under the wheels.

has always a right Trash myth

As astonished passenger one is pressed with motor roar in the cinema seat, while the images go incessantly on the gas. Now you have to say that “Mad Max” has always been a right trash myth. In the first part the end of the seventies it was still going on very modest. The young Mel Gibson had baby fat in the face, and as Mad Max, he was not really Mad . He worked as a relatively sane street cop and loved his wife and child – to his best buddy a motorcycle gang fell victim. After he quit the service. It was only when his loved ones were run over by the rockers, it mutated into the lawless avenger, and a aufgemotzer V8 Ford Falcon was the basement of his choice.

The real “Mad Max” feeling comes from the second part : The earth is without form and void, the technical Zivisation lies in ruins. The survivors have organized themselves into gangs and fighting with knives, killer boomerangs, crossbows and their few remaining balls to the few remaining gasoline. Mad Max is now the eternal baseless loner who can ally themselves only briefly with the righteous operators a do-it-yourself oil Refining – he has to continue, driven by the demons of the past. God knows where.

The final of this second part but established the thrill-ride that Hollywood now all these years has left no rest. Since Mad Max drives a heavily armed tank truck through the desert in order to break a siege and to bring the precious gasoline to a distant place where finally to wait peace. He followed drawing hordes of bandits in open hunting-vehicles, the scenic trails of dust in the desert. There ensues a fight at full speed, in which a vehicle exploded after another or under the wheels come while people of cars jump to cars and go on bonnets and tractor roofs in the melee.

That was completely unseen, then in 1981, and set new standards of motorized adrenaline rush at the cinema. The third part was then mainly due to the hairstyle of Tina Turner, which was pale mane every baboon with envy, and her song “We Do not Need Another Hero”. After it was over with “Mad Max”, while others took over the accelerator and continue through stepped – last the girls and boys from the “Fast and Furious” clique that break just all records precisely with their seventh part and in the eternal list

“Fast & amp; Furious 7″ at the movies Hollywood conquered death

Paul Walker lives – at least in the seventh part of the “Fast & amp; Furious” series. It achieved the digital tinkerers and the brothers of the actor. As the film ends for Walkers Alter Ego Brian? Filmkritik

George Miller but, that Australian doctor who then filmmaker and creator of “Mad Max” -Universums was, let all these years a certain feeling no peace – that this final tanker ride that he had since brought into the world, but somehow not the last word in cinematographic octane was. He tried to distract himself by making films with talking animals (“Babe: Pig”) and step dancing penguins (“Happy Feet”), which were also very nice then. But still he tried still to build the final monster truck of cinema. Shortly before his seventieth birthday the necessary funds and millions were finally together

So you can watch in wonder now, as the final tanker journey really starts already after fifteen minutes and then -. With short breaks to catch your breath – just Eisenhart up is pulled through to the end. It now lurk all bandits strains in wild desert landscape, which was filmed in Namibia. There are fleets crumbles of open and closed hunting vehicles. And tournaments dogfight fought on bonnets and tractor roofs.

Physically already halbverfault, at the wheel but still highly concentrated

Mad Max, the eternal loner by no unworthy played by the British Shooting Star Tom Hardy , joins forces with a group of very beautiful, dressed in rags transparent women. The escape from an evil, physically already half-rotten, at the wheel but still highly concentrated warlord who has either been pregnant or not pregnant wants. Guided and protected it from an armed warrior, gas is like no man, and willingly with axle grease lipstick times (Charlize Theron, shaved).

Granted, that sounds crazy. But it is precisely in this exuberant madness lies a beautiful, meaningful free surplus – for example in the idea that in a convoy of evil always four drummers and electric guitarist mitrasen that are connected to the rolling boxes tower and the Wild Hunt with live mock pig rock accompany. Therein lies at the end of a kind of rescue

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is a shameless battle of material, merciless Überbietungs- and overpowering cinema – but not so cool, not so listless by calculated as its current competitors.. In roar of its engines will sound and the laughter of a septuagenarian rascals who has once again stolen the end of his career a car. It was simply the largest truck in the world
