“A couple of days ago, I saw a rig big enough to haul that tanker. You wanna get outta here? You talk to me.”
― Terry Hayes, The Original MAD MAX 1

“Rituals slow time; the names we give acts and the beliefs that undergird those acts contribute to a sense of order. Accepting an order produced by a power holderâ€� internalizing its assumptions about duty, honor, and justiceâ€� delivers a stable form of obedience. Power is thus most effective when it is invisible.”
― Matthew Meyer, Mad Max and Philosophy: Thinking Through the Wasteland

“[from 'Mad Max: Fury Road' review in 'We're Not Ugly People'] Miller has also remembered to make the film directly about things, not all subtext begging for explication. The scarcity of water, oil wars, the arms trade, and female emancipation jostle for space with the customized vehicles, coming in and out of focus with the blitz. But when it comes to political subtext, it must be acknowledged that Immortan Joe's demise was predictable from his water-distribution method. Pouring thousands of gallons of water on people's heads from a great height is not the best way to keep them pacified. Better to sell it to them in plastic bottles for ninety-nine cents each.”
