I watched this with my husband at home after months of hearing hype about it. We have no prior experience with Mad Max anything, except knowledge of the general style vibe that has permeated the culture. We laughed in astonishment and confusion for most of the movie, and at the end wondered what the fuck. We have always meant to revisit it, but never gotten around to it.
I would love to drink of your Mad Max koolaid. Help my autistic brain understand what the fuck I watched and why everyone continues to be so fucking stoked about it?
I know they did a lot of practical effects in a way that is basically unheard of anymore, and that's the one tiny part of the reverence that I understand and share. I am dying to get in on the rest of it. Would any of you like to just go the fuck off about it or is there a blog post I should read?
Did you not think the movie was good? My wife and I were in the same boat as you when we saw it and we loved it.
