Review Mad Max (1979): A solid introduction to the world and Mad Max!

genre: action, adventure, scifi, apocalypse






There seems to be a lot of debate about Mad Max and when it takes place. I always assumed it was in the early stages of the apocalypse. But apparently it's set before the apocalypse. Makes sense, since life does seem far more normal than in later parts. Therefore, the story in the original Mad Max might not seem that compelling compared to the rest of the franchise.

What is clear that gangs seem to rule to major annoyance of the normal people and the law who still try to uphold it as limited as they are. One of the member is police officer Max Rockatansky who has a certain and definitive way to deal with the thugs. When we are introduced to Max, he seems to be capable but normal. He actually is content with family life and thinking of quitting the job. Like in most films, this is when tragedy strikes. From that moment, Max is hell-bent on revenge. Mind you, it takes a bit for this to happen, since we do get to see some of the family life. But you will get to taste the determination Mad Max is famous for. 

Mad Max might be low on high octane action, I do think it offers a nice contrast of what the world was and what it's becoming. And what impact this has on people. One minute you can buy your food in the supermarket and the next you have to eat rat, dogs and maggots. Most important is that this film serves as an introduction to Max of who he was and what he will become.
