Mad Max link round-up: because my bookmarks bar won't tidy itself.
I've been gathering up links on Mad Max: Fury Road for the past couple of weeks, and I think it's time to actually post them!
Imperator Furiosa: The Hero We Need - David Mack talks about character functions and storytelling mechanics in an interesting way that has wider implications.
Mad Max: Fury Road is less radical than its b-movie influences - for the Guardian, Noah Berlatsky looks at women's prison exploitation movies and how their tropes have percolated down to Fury Road. (Actually, my biggest question about the approach to race in the movie is where it is set - I'd assumed Australia, and in that case you'd expect their world to be heir to the very specific history, and present, issues of racism there. Does anyone know more about this?)
Mad Max as Feminist Ally - a deliciously detailed personal response by Tansy Rayner Roberts.
Crone Wars: on the mythology of Fury Road at Lashes and Stars. I am SO into this Maid/Mother/Crone archetype in the movie and I'm really happy someone wrote about it!
Mad Max is a Feminist Playbook for Surviving Dystopia, by Laurie Penny is typically snappily written and made me go, "YES! YES! YES!"
Mad Max: Fury Road - Furiosa #1 - YOU GUYS, THERE IS A COMIC ABOUT FURIOSA. WHY DID I NOT THINK TO PICK THIS UP IN TOWN ON THURSDAY. WHY.
And last but by no means least, Elizabeth's Mad Max meta masterpost by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
