‘Max Max Fury Road” & “On Your Feet” are polar opposites art forms not just for the stage they perform on but on their greatness and failures. “Max Max Fury Road” is a full coarse action film with unbelievable sets, special effects, plenty of continuous action but little character development while “On Your Feet” deals with complex characters but lacks the other characteristics from ” Mad Max Fury Road”. While “On Your Feet” and “Brooklyn” have much in common even though the stage is different “Mad Max Fury Road” goes down a totally different path. Art can go in totally different directions yet those who appreciate talent can still appreciate those different end zones.
MAD MAX FURY ROAD *** The sets, action, and special effects are spectacular but not enough to be deserving on an Oscar nomination which should consider character development as a key component. There might be a deeper meaning that I’m missing but with the fast pace of action it’s hard to absorb it.
