Cinephile No. 500 "Mad Max: Fury Road"

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

The plot to "Mad Max: Fury Road" was about as enthralling as a bomb ridden trip from Seattle to Tacoma and back again. I spent most of this movie in two separate states. The first had me asking myself over and over again, "What is happening?" The second was a state of wonder and awe. The movie is beautiful and the cinematography is Oscar worthy. The story is the ugly part. For two violent hours, we are forced to watch people drive to a point and then drive back to where they originated. No character explains why they are running. No villain explains why they are chasing. We are left to fill too many holes all the while trying to muster the strength to care. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
