Sample Book Insights:

#1 In September 2012, the movie Mad Max: Fury Road was filming in the Namib Desert. It was behind schedule and over budget, and its lead, Tom Hardy, often failed to show up to set. Warner Bros. head Jeff Robinov threatened to shut down the film early, and eventually Miller was forced to choose between the chase scene or the beginning and end of the film.

#2 Miller’s film is a masterpiece, and it is subversive in the way it tackles up-to-date issues like environmental collapse, female empowerment, and resource hoarding by the rich.

#3 Mad Max: Fury Road is a movie that should not exist. It’s the fourth film in a long-running franchise, yet it was hailed by critics as one of the most original movies ever made. It’s a big-studio action movie, yet it was nominated for Best Picture and won several Oscars.

#4 Miller’s film is a engine of pure cinema. It is surreal, over-the-top, and full of action. It makes you feel more alive just watching it, and it has never gone away as I’ve watched it over and over again.
