Mad Max - Fury Road review:
It was strange that in the midst of an environmental disaster and
resource wars everybody drives these gas guzzling vehicles. Oil was
obviously not in short supply. I suppose the pyrotechnics would have
been limited if everybody was on push bikes. Also, there were no
non-whites in the cast, as far as I could see under the dusty and pasty
faces. Was there any reason for this, apart from appealing to adolescent
white males who are into heavy metal culture? And there was no sex, no
nudity, no kissing. Just violence. The would-be censors might have to
revise the "sex & violence" meme. Plenty of body fluids though -
blood, spit, breast milk - but strangely enough, no semen. There was a
caesarian birth but the actual scene was not shown - I guess some things
were a step too far for its target audience! (The umbilical cord
twirling doctor was the obviously token gay character in the film).
