Forget Matrix Reloaded and all that sh*t, that's the definitive philosophical action movie --- and the action is unbelievable, still after all this time! Beautiful and frightening. MMBT is the definitive masterpiece. Just noticed 1000 things I truly didn't catch the previous million of times I watched it. It seems Max said to Slake "thanks", and not "relax", when he caught the spear-gun! And hey, never known Slake said before the Tell "Savannah tumbled Walker" --- that's great, since they are actually placed in a CRACK where - from the Waiting Ones's point of view -people just use to roll into it... pretty genius! Strangely (or not?) this time I found the Chase Scene much more "climatic" than the Thunderdome Arena Fight. Both delivers thrills and excitement, great cinematography, vision, fire and passion! Another thing: did Aunty Entity say to Bartertown: "Find the Little Man... bring him back to me... ALIVE! And for those who TOKE him..." --- was it "toke" or "took"? To toke means to smoke or to engage... and that's pretty interesting.

Well, The Matrix pretty much rides on the waves of escapism, where knowledge is power—where being plugged is the true path to the ultimate utopia. But The Matrix’s substance isn’t riding on reality. And what about Mad Max? Well, all I can say is--Mad Max is reality!
The fact that the crux of Mad Max rides on something that truly exists or events that could really happen—doesn’t it make you a little fidgety about the whole thing? Hey, the reality that is Mad Max is a lot closer to reality than The Matrix could ever be—the sudden collapse of our oil reserves, the warring between societies (or tribes), and the rise of mobile, havoc-wreaking, highway gangs. Or maybe even a tyrannical witch like Aunty. Yes, it could all happen. And to me, that’s what makes Mad Max a lot more entertaining.
Oh and I’m pretty sure it was “took” and not “toke”, but it does add a little more ferocity to the whole she-bang.
