Film title: Mad Max
Director: George Miller
Date released: 12 April 1979
List three adjectives that describe this film
Thrilling Suspenseful Inspiring
What is the film about? (Write at least three sentences)
The movie follows Max a young Australian police officer, who is trying to end a vicious
biker gang’s tyranny. The bikers show no mercy as they viciously attack innocent people driving
along the highway. Murder, gang-rape, and severe mutilation are just some of the crimes that the
gang members are notorious for. Their infamous behavior made them a deity of horror whom
only the brave and heroic could defeat.
What was good about the film?
The thrilling movie had very few dull points and was simply filled with exciting scenes
and heroic acts. In an age where good role models are so scarce Mad Max is a breath of fresh air
due to its ample amounts of quality characters. Mad Max moves beyond the typical action movie
by incorporating hidden messages which stress the importance of bravery and family.
Would you recommend the film? Why or why not?
I felt that the film set many good examples in what a hero really is which is scarce in
modern times. When looking beyond some of the more gruesome scenes one can really see the
hidden messages that the director and cast were able to present. Overall I felt that the film was
worthwhile because it was not only exciting but provided a great insight into Australian culture
and cinematography.
