Review of Mad Max (1979) by Joshua R — 20 Jun 2016

The first and the best in a series of movies Mad Max. Mad Max was the first Miller's movie, and he made a huge effort to film it because he had a problem with a lack of money. How much money was missing shows the fact that about 20% of the action scenes are not recorded according to plan, Mazda Bongo car destroyed in the opening scene of the movie belonged to the director Miller and only two main actors had jackets of real leather, while all the others were copies.

But that did not stop him to create a truly timeless classic. This futuristic movie, in which he managed to capture the special atmosphere of the raw and cruel world, is holding the Guinness record for most profitable movie.

Mad Max is a hell of a good ride, but what makes the movie special is also the story, that other Mad Max movies do not have.
