    Dude, what? Have you ever watched Mad Max? Do you even know what it is about? lol
    It has nothing to do with climate change, has no pro car message and is not even from Hollywood.
    This is just ignorant.

      I love the idea that someone in Hollywood okayed the idea of giving George Miller (who would have been like 70 at the time) $150 million and just sending him off into the desert to film two hours of complete lunacy, and it worked. The film like doubled its budget and won six oscars lol

      has no pro car message

      “violent car chases look fucking sick” is a pretty core part of mad max so it at least has a cars-are-cool message

        Fury Road has a very strong theme of extractive/capitalist survival (represented by cars, gas, control of water etc) = bad, regenerative/communalist survival (represented by the mothers and plant life) = good. The action scenes are ofc designed to be cool but I think the broader environmental/social message is strong enough that the flame guitar doesn’t drown it out.
