    Mad Max Fury Road

    1. In the beginning I thought that it will be an action movie, based on violence and
    agressive driving, to be honest. But after a few minutes I realised that it is more than
    that. It is a movie about a totalitarian society where women are just objects. I really
    liked it because it shows the evolution of women and how they support each other to
    overcome their humiliating condition. I also enjoyed the moment when Max decided
    to help them. Even though he was not a woman, he did not feel the way they felt, used
    and denigrated, but they have a common reason to take down the totalitarism:
    revange. His PTHD made him realise that past mistakes cannot be repeated.
    2. Gender roles were represented in the movie by two same categories, but also
    distinguishing:On a hand, men and women were both worrios; the difference is that
    women were actual warriors, fighting for what they believed in, for freedom and for
    liberty of chosing, thinking and acting. They came up with a well-thought plan to
    escape from the totalitarian regime, while men were warriors in the barbarian sense of
    the word. They fought with their life for no reason, just because they were told so by
    the dictator. They died for nothing, they killed others without remorse. On an other
    hand, both women and men were slaves. Women were known slaves, everybody
    knew they were the state’s slaves, being used for their bodies and their ability to
    procreate, while men were unknown slaves. They didn’t know they were the dictator’s
    “,meat of cannon” (as it is said in the movie). Hey thought that if they die for fighting
    they will arrive in Vallhala, a place about it was thought that only brave men arrive.
    Only if they knew that it was not brave to kill and to be killed for no reason. Men
    were brainwashed by the dictator with the phrase ,,you are born, yopu die, you live
    again”. They looked alike like a crowd of sheep.
    3. The connection between Laura Mulvey’s essay and the movie is that the movie
    aproaches the concept Laura is talking about, more specific scopophilia. Freud said
    that he associates this concept with ,,one of the component instincts of sexuality
    which exist as drives quite independently of the erotogenic zones”. I connect this
    freudian quote to the scene where the dictator took a bottle of mom milk and give iti
    to his son and he said that it was “so good”. So physical parts excite instincts and
    pleasures. The objectifing of women is a “leitt-motif of erotic spectacle”. This movie
    is a perfect example of how patriarchal world can be distroyed by the unity of women
    and open-minded and eyed-open men.
