1. Did you like the movie? Why or why not?

Yes, I liked the movie. I watched this movie very funny. Actually, I see this movie a second time.
So I knew the summary and the ending. I like action movies, so I did not get bored watching the movie because of a lot of car action
and the shocking background of the situation after the nuclear war. Especially, the last action scenes of this movie was the most impressive.

I watched Mad Max Fury Road in the movie theather at AMC Timesquare, 2015. This movie is such a fantastic and fabulous movie. I always thinking of what happen after the end of world. Mad Max movie has so much imagination of what could be happen when earth is destroyed; deforestration and desertfication. The movie shows how the world developed to a place of human living nowhere. Human rights are disavantage to the ruler. How the world shape that change the cultures and humanity. This movie definitely a five star rating from my personal opinion, and I do recommend this movie to the people that have not watch yet.

3. How do you think women are represented in this movie?

In this movie, women are the symbol of peace and liberty. In the Citadel's society, women should be kept in the safe place to give birth for the dictator. However, they tried to escape and find a new place to live for themselves. Even though the green place was gone and they failed to find a new place, we can see them changing, and acting bravely to stay alive. At first they didn't have any power or strength to protect themselves, but later, they help max and furiousa. The biggest reason of the liberty of Citadel is the women who escaped. If they just stayed under dictator, or didn't come back at last, lots of people and workers in Citadel might have suffered more. In these reasons, The women in the 'Mad Max' was showing the strong femininity, which lead a society into peace.

Honestly I didn't like this movie. It was too noisy and disturbing. Also, I couldn't easily figure out what messages the director was trying to convey, and I could barely figure out what he wanted to say almost at the end of the movie. The overall dark background and continuous rock music have also played a role in reducing my interest in movies.

- Yes, I really liked it. Because it showed me unprecedented scene that I have never seen before!
Especially, the guitarist wearing red clothes has a strong impact during the whole movie.
Anyway, I was also surprised that this movie is the 3rd sequel of original MAD MAX movie.
