One of Joe’s most notable warriors is a powerful woman known as Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), who, as the film opens, is leading a convoy from Immortan Joe’s citadel to the oil refinery Gastown when she deviates off course. It turns out that Furiosa has kidnapped Joe’s “breeders,” the women he keeps prisoner in an effort to create a male heir. She’s taking them to “the green place,” to safety. Of course, Joe sends his men after Furiosa including Nux, to whom Max is still attached and the rest of “Mad Max: Fury Road” consists of one long sustained chase across the unforgiving desert. With the exception of one centerpiece of dialogue, the film takes place almost entirely on the move, speeding, chasing, bouncing, and exploding across Miller’s scorched landscape.

As a reflection of more desperate times, Miller has updated the needs of his future world from commodities like oil to pure survival. Max has been reimagined as a fighting, driving machine, a man who “finds his own way,” moving forward in an attempt to outrun his ghosts. Nux is a brainwashed goon, a man-creature who believes that he will die and be reborn after sacrificing himself for a trip to Valhalla. Max eventually steps into the role of the action hero, but, in one of his most daring moves, Miller gives the weight of the narrative to Furiosa, a woman who holds on to the only thing that could possibly give her hope in this violent world the next generation. Theron does arguably the best work of her career here, artfully conveying the drive in Furiosa’s soul in a way that fuels the entire film. She does more with a searing stare or clenched jaw than most actresses could with a page of dialogue. And one shouldn’t undervalue the empowerment message at the heart of this film Eve Ensler, author of “The Vagina Monologues” consulted with Miller on the script which suggests that women, as the creators of new life, will, inherently, always be the gender that holds hardest onto hope for the future. Furiosa looks at the insanity of the male leadership around her and decides enough is enough. When one of Furiosa’s wards goes into labor and still defends herself and her yet-to-be-born child (after being shot no less), it’s hard not to see “Fury Road” as an answer to the macho nonsense that so often defines the action genre.

Komentar:

            Perjuangan Furiosa untuk menyelamatkan para wanita sangatlah bagus dan penuh tantangan. Dalm filem itu mengajarkan kita untuk menyelesaikan masalah dengan berbagai tantangan yang sangat rumit. Perjuangan untuk mencapai Green Place adalah mustahil dilakukan jika tidak dengan nyawa sebagai taruhanya. Green Place yang dulunya merupakan tempat yang aman, nyaman, damai dan tentram sekarang menjadi usang dan sangat berbahaya. Cara cara penyelesaian dalam filem Mad Max Furry sangatlah menegangkan, untuk mencapai jalan keluar dimana Maut dan ancaman selalu datang silih berganti. Filem ini bagus, banyak sekali alur alur  cerita yang tidak bisa di tebak penuh tantangan dan motivasi. Cocok sekali di jadikan motivasi bagi orang yang berada dalam situasi yang rumit dengan jalan keluar yang rumit pula. Di ibaratkan Orang tua yang sudah berhutang banyak untuk membayar sekolah anaknya. Setelah anaknya lulus, anak tidak membantu membayar hutang sehingga orang tua harus memikirkan jalan keluar untuk bisa membayar hutang lagi.
