Starting point is 00:01:30 Thank you to Liquid IV for sponsoring this video. Let's do this properly, people. All right, Reject Nation. Finally did it. Mad Max Fury Road. I was concerned about a weird thing here. If you listen to us on Apple and Spotify, please rate this video.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And by the way, if you're the YouTube viewers, the one most people are watching from, we're going to start uploading exclusive audio just to there. So yeah, it's going to be more. more than just isolating our review section. And so it would be cool if you guys followed us there. It would be awesome. It's an extension of the channel of real rejects, as we all know it.
Starting point is 00:02:12 And as I was explaining at the top of this, went and baked out of my mind and at a bolt. And the other part is like it really affected my memory. I noticed. It's the reason I had to really dial it back and I'm getting way more into health. It just wanted to kind of improve my brain health in the past. a couple of years. And I thought like, oh, you know, I'm sure as I'm watching it,
Starting point is 00:02:35 maybe some stuff will come back to me. Nothing was coming back to me at all. There's literally not a thing. The only thing that came back to me were stuff I remember from trailers or other imagery that has stood by. Like, like the one, the one thing that really flashed to mind was when Furios got on her knees in the sand. Like, I didn't know what that was. I just watched the movie. I figure out what they said it several times. The place. the location they were trying to get to, uh, the entire time, her, her home. And that was like an image that I remembered. So to me, this did feel like a new experience of fresh taking. And it surprised me. Surprised me quite a bit. Because I went into this movie mainly just wanting to see the action
Starting point is 00:03:19 set pieces, mainly wanting to get, you know, the visceral, eclectic, you know, stunt work and cool camera angles and explosions, all the juice, all the things that people constantly talk about with this movie. And it delivered. And I'm excited to talk about this movie because it gave me more than that, quite a bit more that I did not imagine would actually be my takeaway with the film. Because while the imagery of some of these characters is quite iconic, I don't really hear about the character traits, you know, when it comes to a Morton Joe or Furiosa, Nux. Is this name? I think they kept saying the word Nucks for Nicholas Halt or even, or even Tom Hardy's performance, which I know has been a little bit debatable for some people, as Tom Hardy can be in certain
Starting point is 00:04:20 roles he ventures off into. But normally it's like the action and the aesthetics and and such. And then the fact that we're getting a Furiosa movie, I'm like, well, Furiosa must be something of an impactful character. And there's a little section in this movie that's like a few minutes long where she starts listing her backstory. And I'm going, okay, I guess it's going to be the Furiosa movie that we're going to see that. So I wanted to digest some of that information. But some of my takeaways came a little bit more in those forms. So to get it out of the way, I mean, it's not something to just get out of the way. one of the characters of this movie is the experience.
Starting point is 00:05:00 It's kind of a, it sounds like a cheat sheet or a cheat way to talk about it, you know, because it's so often, and I've said it myself when it comes to many big blockbuster films, is, yeah, you know, you could watch like big action set pieces. You could watch, you know, fight scenes and whatever, but then you get to a certain point where it just becomes kind of mind-numbing. You know, it loses affect.
Starting point is 00:05:25 It loses impact. And one of my weird concerns, especially with a camera, pointed at me, was going, what if people love this so much? What if I just start finding it a little bit repetitive? What if I just find it a little bit like monotonous, you know? Because, and my experience with the action sort of went like this on my emotional journey of like, wow, you know, a lot of expression in it. when i was uh you know when i was feeling it and then as i kept feeling it i suddenly just started getting more locked in and i was just immersed like by the time you get to the finale it's interesting because most of the most of the action scenes are all based around uh some type of vehicular chase
Starting point is 00:06:12 sequence with a variety of weapons and people on poles and flames and and all kinds of arsenal and hopping around cars and gunshots. It's a variety of weapons. And yet every set piece of when they got distinctly focused on action still felt like they offered something new to every one of them. By the time you get to the final one, I was just in there going like, this is impossible. Like, how could they possible?
Starting point is 00:06:45 I was so hooked into the story and wanting to see if this movie would be able to sell me. It's on my demanding audience. I wanted to see if this movie would sell me on whether or not I'm going to be able to buy into this one group of people and their one vehicle being able to take out everyone here. And it was constructed so well. Like this story within the action was constructed so well that I find my, I'm here. and I'm showing you guys like what I'm feeling internally, you know, where I could be blown away or shocked by something or just mesmerized. And then I was, I was gripped. And that grip of the action, which is, it's a rare, I would say kind of the same thing with the John Wick movies, where the one of the characters in the movies in the movie like this is is the action set pieces.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Is there a character in and of itself? Because there's so much emotion involved. It's not just, you know, a choreography. There's a lot that are playing on your senses. It's like a sensory experience. There are times where you can sort of feel the flames on you. Like, even if it's like it's the tingle of a subconscious hint of your imagination, getting kind of pulled into it, you know, it's not like a 40x experience or something.
Starting point is 00:08:14 I know it sounds a little pretentious to say, but whatever. I'm sticking to it. You could feel it. And you're learning about these characters via through observation, via through body language, primarily. Now, that being said, sometimes I'll give a movie that compliment. And then I'll still be here going, but when there's not like actual obvious action going on,
Starting point is 00:08:39 how are those scenes working? And for the most part, I thought a lot of that was surprisingly really good. good. That was really great. There was, there was one plot line, which I'll probably dive into in a little bit, that took a while to grow on me when it came to the characters. I wasn't 100% feeling it, but, you know, the main ones, what they did with Furioso, what they did with Max. I thought was really interesting. I've seen Road Warrior a couple of times when I was younger. I don't have the most distinct memory of events. It's probably It's better than how I ever remember being baked out of my mind with Fury Road.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I could at least recall a couple of, you know, certain moments and scenes. But I see some differences here for sure between, it's like, you know, Mel Gibson's not like the coolest guy. They barely speaks in Road Warrior. I feel like, you know, Tom Hardy's is a little bit more unhinged. But so much about what makes the performances work between Charlize Theron and, and Tom Hardy, who apparently didn't get along on set, if I'm not mistaken, or had a blowout of sorts. I don't regularly recall what the behind-the-scenes facts were. What works so much for me was watching their relationship evolve and how they did so much of that trust via through
Starting point is 00:10:02 dialogue. And for a movie where there's subjects here that I'm not as educated on the subject, well, I'm like, I'm fair, like, I can follow along. I'm not, I feel like I, I'm Speaking on this is one of my strengths, I would personally say. But, you know, touching on themes of like authoritarianism, the patriarchy to a certain extent, obviously elements of, you know, resources, scarceity, environmentalism. You know, there's a lot of, actually, yeah, there's a shit ton of, if I'm not mistaken, like, other than Max. Every guy in this movie is a bad guy, right? Oh, my phone's playing a random wisecrack video about the clockwork orange. That's weird.
Starting point is 00:10:55 I've never seen a clockwork orange either. Must have hit some recommended page. But anyway, but yeah, so with these topics here, because like you have like a Morton Joe who totalitarian will be the word for it, rules society with this iron fist. and he's controlling resources and then, you know, the objectification of women as well, like literally keeps them locked in a chamber, you know, to breed the next warlords. And the fanaticism that takes place in this film as well and how to weaponize people's, weaponize ideologies, weaponized beliefs where people are willing to sacrifice themselves, like the women with the children, the milking, and then the guys.
Starting point is 00:11:44 eyes are just blood banks and even to a certain extent right the um i forget the name of whatever nucks the kind of character that he is but uh that objectifies them in a certain way with the whole like chrome thing in order to sell them on these bigger religious beliefs like there's there's this power here and there's women are you know fucking kicking in the door i'm going to save the goddamn day here and even though all the men are bad like the part of the part of the fun of the movie, to me, was watching the relationship of, of, because of watching Max and Furiosa bonding together of how they have to work together. And there's not much dialogue exchange between them. Furiosa talks more than, than he does. But it's, it's the
Starting point is 00:12:32 two of them working together in order to conquer, in order to save the day. And I like kind of the open-ended nature of, of them writing up. Like, it makes sense to me that Max wouldn't go with Furiosa in the end. There's been the redemption for him, obviously. There's been that redemption, but there's, I feel like it's a little bit more realistic that he's, he's not quite there yet as a person where he would still ascend with them to there. And leaving off on this note with Furiosa and all the women there, like, can they do any better
Starting point is 00:13:07 than what was there before? You'd imagine they would, as the, the women here are often portray, like, there's, There's such a strength that the women here have. At the same time, they do capture a softer, more empathetic quality than all the men in this movie. So I'd imagine that they would do a better job just simply to the ability to see humanity within human beings. But I still like how they have an open-endedness about it. And so watching elements that you can sort of, I would say find the spider web, sort of deconstruct where you can sort of pinpoint subjects of things that this movie could potentially be commentating on. Because like I've seen like Mad Max.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I've seen Road Warrior and then and then, but when I was a kid watching those, I wasn't like thinking about any of this shit. You know, I'm just like, cool, action, right? I actually thought the first Mad Max remember being a kid thinking of that shit was boring. I haven't given it another chance. The really low budget first one, the L. Gives him, but the road warrior of everything, it was pretty sweet.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I wonder, is that a common opinion? I feel like that'll probably be a common opinion. I'm not sure. But the, but with this one, it doesn't ever become a movie that's preaching via through dialogue at all. Everything is body language. Everything is action.
Starting point is 00:14:34 I'm not just talking about action scenes. the way they handle revelations of every sequence was part of my favorite moments of George Miller's direction here combined with this brilliant editing. I don't know who edited this movie, but my God, the edit, I'm acting like I wouldn't know. If someone said the editor's name, I wouldn't know. I barely know. Honestly, even when it comes to Martin Scorsese, who always works with the same fucking editor, that's what I know. I know she's the same editor and I am the asshole who never committed her name to memory. I'm terrible at remembering editor's names. I don't know who edited this movie,
Starting point is 00:15:12 but God damn is the editing phenomenal in this film. It has such a unique way of doing it because I don't know if they, how they, I'm like watching this and my brain is trying to piece together. Like, how the hell do you possibly construct this? Because I feel like I've been semi-conditioned over the past couple years with, you know, Oh, yeah, you fix it and you do previs and stuff with the choreography and or you, you shoot some shit on green screen and the VFX guys will fill in and while there's a lot of magic that can
Starting point is 00:15:45 happen there, while there's a lot of work that can happen there when you're seeing this, well, obviously there is, there has to be CGI involved with a lot of the, especially with elemental, elemental stuff, the sky, certain atmospheric touches, I mean, just downright to some explosions and bodies that are like flying in the camera, whatever, like, of course there has to be some CGI elements to there. At the same time, it feels so goddamn practical. And you could tell that there's so much stunt work and there's just so many moving parts that my brain starts to scratch itself thinking, as a person is completely sober right now,
Starting point is 00:16:23 it's like just like scratching itself going, wait, how do you, how do you like piece this together exactly? Because was there extra coverage and you're trying to figure out there? Because as much as you're like trying to shoot with in mind of how. You imagine to be edited, you have to fix a lot of this in the editing room. And it also can't feel the complaint that you have about like a Transformers movie or something or that taken three meme that they have where he's like jumping over the fence. And there's like 14, it's 17 cuts to it where you can't keep up. You can't keep up with it. And here you're able to follow all of it despite how much of a frenzy it is, despite how much of a frenzy it is, despite how.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Manic everything is all the time. And I love the choreography because there's so much smartness within each one of these characters in the fight scenes. Like with the Morton Joe, his ability to read people anticipate what every character's move is going to be, whether it be like, I can see them. No one knows what they're doing way out there. I know exactly where they're going to go or in the heat of the moment. No, I want to pull a gun on someone or anything. And he knows how to manipulate a, they show that he's more than just this intimidating presence with this scaring, breathing apparatus. He is actually a smart, calculated villain.
Starting point is 00:17:38 And it's kind of like that for a lot of the characters. A lot of the characters are really good at being able to read each other and anticipate each other's next moves, which makes the game of tops in these fight scenes so engaging to witness. Reject Nation, I am here to talk to you today about something that I value very much, and I hope you will learn to value it too. And if you already do, then I got an amazing recommendation for all of you.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Now, many of you guys have been so kind to notice that Sir Gregory over here has been getting a little bit of a better shape as a late in the past year or so. I mean, I'm just looking. Everybody loves the guy who flexes on camera. No one finds that annoying or like they're trying to get attention. I'm only doing it to make a point that I've been taking health and fitness quite serious, mainly because I really like to feel more energetic in a more natural way, helps me focus. I just feel better overall.
Starting point is 00:18:33 And one thing I've really noticed that is very, very important to me is proper hydration. Sometimes you might just casually see me sipping on one of these, no big deal. But sometimes I don't want to just like fill my body up with so much water before getting on camera and getting some of that water bloat or whatever that might occur. And it's also important to get electrolytes after sweating a bunch because if there's one thing I notice is that after I exercise, do I feel a high from it? Absolutely. But if I don't replenish my body properly afterwards, I slowly. get drained. I feel more foggy-minded. I feel more fatigue. And that's why this is something I've already been using and I am so happy to be partnered with them. It is liquid IV. I've only got three
Starting point is 00:19:14 packets left. I need to order more. And what's so great about it is that after using these, I always feel way more refreshed. I feel like I feel more focused. Sometimes I might get a little bit of a head pain. It helps relieve a lot of that. And it's more than just working out. Sometimes you might just be really tired or have an exhaustive day. Like, for example, sometimes we're working all day. Then we got to shoot a show at midnight or something like that. And I need energy. I need to be live on camera. And I usually take a hydration formula. And liquid IV is a very, very reliable one. So while drinking water is, of course, very important, liquid IV can provide the same hydration as drinking two to three bottles of water. That's like efficient. They of course packed with a lot of essential
Starting point is 00:19:54 vitamins. They're vegan, soy free, gluten-free, dairy-free. You can customize the water amount to your taste. They have a lot of options. And the reason I love this one is because throughout the week, I usually have a no sugar added diet. And this one right here, it's sugar-free. So it's perfect for me. So yes, it's great for post-night recovery, traveling, maybe having a big night out after you know, so if you want to improve your endurance, you want to improve your overall well-being, you want to be hydrated. It is extremely important to vitality. So to boost your hydration and also boost support for the channel. We'd love to stay sponsored with these guys. Considering that we do use these products and we really voucher them and really do think you would benefit from them.
Starting point is 00:20:33 You can go to liquid iv.com and use promo code rejects. Once again, that's liquid ivy.com promo code rejects. Remember, it's not a real IV, but it sure feels like it. That's comedy gold. And the amount of assist that people will do, like it feels, you know what it feels like, it feels like they're improvising and there's, there's, such a natural flow with the way all of it's going down, I'm a big fan of choreography being nailed down right. And with a big part of choreography that's important is to not make
Starting point is 00:21:11 it feel like it's rehearsed. And for something like this, you've got to rehearse the shit out of this. And not one point does it feel rehearsed. You can feel, and a large part isn't due to the actor's performances as well. But the way they capture this really feels like people are improvising along the way in the character decision making. I was so impressed with it and beyond just practical offense stunts and that because that's usually what you hear, right? But there's so much more intricacies involved with what made it stand out so much. And to have it hyped up for so long and to take it in, I'm like, this is why.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Because on this is how this is how the shit hits you on a more subconscious emotional level beyond just, wow, it's pretty. It can hit you in these deeper ways because that is how you weave. Even though you're not getting like character exposition or shit like that, you are getting character emotionality via through what you are witnessing in these action moments. It's like the first half hour. You kind of learn some information about the world, motives about, okay, I'm Furiosa's leaving. Max, captured, Nux wants to get the Valhalla proof his way to a Morton Joe.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Morgan Joe wants these women back. You don't really know like too much. It's a very sparse information. It's a rather simple story when you think about it with just some, you know, complexities and the details is a latching on to a brand new world that they are building up here. But there's so much in there that gives you the nuance of emotions. And that is all in a large part to like Furiosa, which surprised the hell out of me with her.
Starting point is 00:22:44 The amount of hype around Furiosa, this is like, you know, the brutality, the brute, the strength that she exudes. I appreciate how still there was a softness in the way Charlize Theron spoke. And then Max is so damaged and he's so, So, like, Farrell, he's got these, like, very fast, like, Mel Gibson would have, especially he's got some weird tics and mannerisms when he talks, right? But Tom Hardy was something else.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Like, that was something else the way Tom Hardy was. Like, there was a certain way he talked that I just couldn't quite pinpointed. And at times, it was a little distracting with just how it sounded like he was speaking directly into the mic, like right here. Like, it was so clear where everyone else kind of sounded like a reasonable film movie distance. It would always sound like I could hear him in the booth. And there was a boom to it, which can be effective, but at times it would sort of audio-wise pull me out. But I still really enjoyed his performance. It's definitely more Furios' movie than Max's, but I still love the dovetail
Starting point is 00:23:44 of redemption and hope and survival and resilience that these characters bring together here. and I also really feel for, I've surprisingly felt for Nux. I was convinced they kill off Nicholas Holt early. And for Nux, the redemption art that he gets who sacrifices himself in the name of love instead of some false ideology was great. And I really feel like he submerged himself into that role.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Like I really like Nicholas Holt a lot. It's kind of funny because Nicholas Holt was in the menu with Anya Taylor Joyna, on Taylor, Joyce, Pony Furiosa. but Nicholas Holt I think is a great actor and this one he really embodies the character and I love
Starting point is 00:24:28 the just the craziness that he has here in a way that was still consistently believable excellent work actors all around pretty damn great I'll say though the part that I was having where I thought pacing-wise
Starting point is 00:24:46 things would get a little and it's not it's not most of the movie but There are times where I did have, like, while I think it's movies, like, the main thing I was crediting was the editing. Of course, I'll shout out, insanely great world building with the makeup effects. You know, you could just feel there was so much detail there, and they'd never, like, turn to them and explain what it is. Like, sometimes I'm just looking at other shit besides what's in the center of the frame,
Starting point is 00:25:10 I'm looking at other care, and like, wow, look at that, look at that, look at that, with, like, the makeup on them that just makes it all just feel more alive and more lived in. And of course, the costumes and the production sets, like everything from a filmmaking. This is filmmaking for an action movie. Like people often differentiate between what's a movie and what's a film. And I'm like, this is, this is both. Like, this is a film and it's an entertaining-ass movie at the same time. So it's a hundred percent, you know, just a film to me, right?
Starting point is 00:25:40 But the relationship that Nux was forming with Redhead Girl who looked familiar. I don't know. I just wasn't really feeling it. like I got it. I get why it was there. It served the purpose of Nux's character arc and his whole story there. And I was like, I'm getting the intention here. I'm understanding why it's in the movie. And I like the idea of it. But there was just something about it where I just wasn't connecting emotionally to that. And sometimes with the pacing of the movie, I was getting a little hung. I got to be honest. I should have eaten before. I'm still pretty
Starting point is 00:26:17 I was getting a little hungry and, uh, you try to ignore it when you're watching and, but I found myself, um, at times, it's towards maybe past the hour mark. So I don't really want to say that because I, I was just suddenly get really sucked back into the, the drama of just character interactions and wondering what people were going to do. And I was, I really loved the, the back and forth between Tom Hardy and Furiosa. The way, the way how they just start. off completely untrustworthy towards each other and then build trust over time. And they had that first action scene when they were both riding in the front of the car and they were shooting at people together. I'm like, man, it's so great watching them work together. And the trust that just
Starting point is 00:27:01 keeps growing stronger and stronger to the point where he can hand her the sniper rifle and they don't even have to say anything to each other. She doesn't have to ask for it in any way. He just kind of knows they can feel it out. And I thought that's such credit to their performances. And to me, that character development just saying so loud him finding a chance at redemption and hope by via helping her and the rest of the women out was so strong to me uh i guess that was just the one little thing that actually yeah i thought i'd be had more than i just uh yeah i guess that's it yeah yeah that's it thought i had more today about that no that was the one thing i just kind of in click with everything else was excellent and the music the music is junkie xl right
Starting point is 00:27:45 I watched this on HBO Max or just Max and does that thing where if there's no after credits and it just goes to a small box. But I was like past the hour mark of the movie. I was going, wait a minute. I believe I remember, I remember like, you know, when you're like looking up shit. You're like this junkie XL. I believe this is junkie XL. It's junkie XL. Fantastic music to fit the heavy metalness of this world that still feels like attractive.
Starting point is 00:28:13 It's like, you know, there's a lot of people who just hate heavy metal. music. So it's not heavy metal music. There's something that feels like apocalyptic, barbaric metal still, very tribal and operatic. I loved it. I thought it was so great. It was amazing music with a lot of dread heavy moments. Yeah, it was orchestrated so well. And surprise ending with them coming back around, I did not, I was the last thing I would have predicted. Them going back to take the Citadel. Never would have thought that. And it's just like, what a surprise of a story that is to have this like bookend of that, of escaping to now returning to take over when that was never really the objective. But the objective is not to just like, I want to take the Citadel because
Starting point is 00:29:01 of the Citadel. But it's why the resources they have to offer is, is why. And the sharing in the community. So yeah, I thought this was an amazing film. I get why it's been high for so long and it's more than just cool action. And it's mainly what I just hear. So it's mainly the talking points I made to say. That's what I thought it was only going to be. But I found this way more enriching than I initially expected going in. But I throw the question of all of you. What did you guys think of Mad Max Furrier Road? Do you like it just for the action? You'll have What do you think about the characters? Do you want to just see a proper follow-up with Max?
Starting point is 00:29:44 Give Tom Hardy another go at this role. We're aren't they supposed to do a sequel, like Mad Max Wasteland? I believe that was one of the original intentions. It's funny with George Miller because he takes, like, long extended breaks between them, but then you see what he produces out of it. And you're like, no, take your time because you are a maestro conducting quite the opera here. So take your time.
Starting point is 00:30:07 and as long as it becomes a beautiful finished project like how you do, then yeah, take your time because it's masterclass filmmaking at its finest and especially to be both enriching and and so precise and composed, but also entertaining as hell.
