Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, The Last Stop in Yuma County

[@kingsleycy3450]

I normally agree with Adam on everything, but big disagree on Fury Road's music choice being poor. The bombastic score matches with the film's heightened reality. Being quiet and atmospheric is nice and all, but the film is more about the feeling than anything

[@coleokeeffe8048]

100%

[@Investigate-311]

Yup, to me this movie tries to evoke the feeling of something Epic (epic as in old mythology stories kind of epic and therefore somewhat unrealistic), the music really conveys that, I feel like if it had realistic sound mixing it wouldn't match the feelings that the movie is trying to portrait.

[@Thedoctorr5]

Absolutely agree. The music in sags was so lacklustre

[@Bort-hv2lt]

Yeah I feel like the music in Fury Road really adds a lot to the sense of adrenaline during the action scenes and it emphasizes the story and feelings of the characters as well. Another comment above already talked about the scene with Nux in the storm, but I also really enjoy the Brothers In Arms track during the scene with the bikers attacking the rig. It sounds very heroic and hopeful, because it's the first time we see Max actually working together with Furiosa and the wives.

[@axlpuff5017]

I've always thought the score drowning out the diegetic sound during the dust storm in Fury Road was a stylistic choice to convey how Nux finds a distorted beauty in chaos, destruction and imminent death. (On the count of being brainwashed from birth into being a suicidal pawn) that's why it does the same thing during his death scene. It may be a little hokey but it added to both scenes imo. And definitely made the dust storm more memorable than if they'd just gone with no music.

[@Donny_Golden]

HOLY FUCK THANK YOU My exact thoughts. Don’t know how Adum didn’t get that.

[@beagle626]

@@Donny_Golden his whole original review of fury road is full of things like this. i think he just has a very nitpicky way of watching movies sometimes which ironically leads to him missing a lot of the ways in which they can work thematically or visually. his criticism of the sound of the war rig in the dialogue scenes is even more asinine. a scene can evoke a certain mood or feeling without being literally accurate. that's what makes movies great.

[@awandererfromys1680]

And all Mad Max movies are essentially mythical retellings anyway. We see Max through the eyes of the people who met him long ago. These are the legends of the Wasteland; the exaggerated reality, the inconsistencies, that's just the narrator embellishing the story to excite the kids around the campfire.

[@SuperSecretAgentNein]

To me the fact that sometimes the vehicles are quiet enough for characters to have quiet conversations is a concession to the performances, which is a fine trade off. It’s why comic book movies spend so much time taking the masks off our heroes (especially in dramatically important bits)

[@NoConsistency]

I feel like it's more George Miller just believing his movie functions as a silent action movie. he has sad his favorite way to watch the movie is with the sound affects off and only music.

[@Meitti]

1:55 I think the music is basically there as a theme for Nux. He's a religious zealot who seeks glorious death in battle so the entire chase is like one mythical, epic event for him, the score builds up the moment he's watching his fellow warriors being sucked into the sky. You hear the same music playing when Immortan gives him his gun and at the end where he sacrifices himself. Nux is on the forefront every time that particular music plays.

[@beagle626]

yeah it's pretty obvious that's what the scene is going for. Nux is awestruck by it, which directly informs his immediate decision that this is the moment he wants to kill himself. idk how Adum watches movies to be honest. maybe he was too busy trying to figure out how loud the engine should be in that scene.

[@jAAbRON]

I would not have noticed that without you bringing it up. For me it was creating the stakes of the Wasteland as a greater antagonist than Immortan Joe: a god of desolation spitting in the face of the Citadel. In that way, I can see why more sound or more music would have worked, and it just came down to George Miller's vision.

[@beagle626]

@@jAAbRON i think what makes the movie great is that it can work both ways. but that scene was definitely meant to evoke a sense of beauty within the chaos, which for nux is a literally religious experience, which is matched by the score. there's a reason the car exploding almost looks like fireworks going off. it's noteworthy that even max seems caught up in the visual splendor of it in the scene. i think the score really nails it as a really emotionally cathartic moment in the movie, and without it the scene wouldn't have close to the same impact.

"Furiosa fixed every critique I had of Fury Road. 6/10." he gave fury road a 7 wat

[@Onyxiate]

I agree that he was more passionate about Furiosa, but I think he just had more issues with Furiosa than Mad Max. Fury Road was fun almost nonstop, took itself too serious at times, and the sound and music wasn’t mixed the best. Furiosa had better characters and didn’t have the issues that Fury Road had, but 2/5 of the movie was overwhelming and boring, it was way too long, and just wasn’t as fun a Fury Road. Furiosa tries a lot more than Fury Road, and although it does those things better than FR it does a lot more worse to a greater degree.

@@Onyxiate At the theater by act 4 i was like, counting the god damn minutes till it was over. Editors needed to actually edit the damn movie down, and it had really bad tonal issues imo, and I think it looks significantly worse than FR. The color grading was very saturated and rich, which coupled with the overuse of mid tier CGI, made the movie feel way more artificial than FR. It sold me on the world less. I don't think the schism between self serious villains like Joe and goofy older Mad Max type guys like Dementus is actually explored well at all. It just felt incongruent. In the first 2 acts, it feels like Dementus is a charismatic eccentric that could exist in a cult leader role. His oddities contrast deliberately with the grim subject matter. It stops being framed that way in the later parts imo.

People saying “we want Max back!” keep forgetting that the Mad Max movies never really focused on Max himself. As long as the movies are good, I don’t see the issue

[@LordPerrin]

Aside from the first, Max is more like a side character who wanders into the plot, helps, then fades back into the wastelands.

[@DerpASherpa117]

I have said the same thing. Barring the first film in which Max has a full character arc to earn the moniker "Mad", Max is more of a plot device than a proper character in every subsequent film of his throughout the years. He is the most important supporting character in his films as he drifts around the Wasteland helping people while haunted by the memories of the people he was unable to save. He shows up, helps a group of good Wastelanders from the local warlord, connects with the main Wastelander who needs his help (and who serves as the real protagonist of the film) defeats the big bad warlord and then leaves. Quite simple and it works. I really liked Furiosa even though I didn't find it as good as Fury Road. It was definitely too long but Hemsworth, Anya and Alyla do indeed carry the film with their performances. However, I found the special effects to be quite a bit more disappointing than Fury Road's, with a lot more emphasis on CGI that while not necessarily bad looking, is VERY noticeable whereas it was hidden a lot better in Fury Road where the practical effects really shined. Other than that I'd rate it an 8/10.

I’m curiosa about furiosa.

[@mocthezuma]

I loved it. I think it's better than Fury Road. It's not something I expect a lot of people to agree with me on, but I love the Mad Max world, and I really enjoyed how the new movie explored so much more of the world than any of the other movies. All the others are confined to a very limited amount of locations and settings, but this one is much more varied. I also agree with YMS about Chris Hemsworth. I remember how people used to complain about Fury Road being all about Furiosa, and not enough about Max. Those people are probably not even going to bother with this one, but they absolutely should, because Chris Hemsworth, as Dementus, is so entertaining. He's a much more interesting character than Immortan Joe, and Hemsworth does a great job in executing the role on film. I also think Anya Taylor-Joy does a great job. I like her better than Charlize Theron in the role. I've seen it twice in the theatres and I'm tempted to go again, because I know it might be the last time I get to see this world on the big screen. Hopefully we get another one, but as the movie isn't performing well, I'm worried.

[@bajscast]

@@mocthezuma I don't like it as much as Fury Road, but it's like, just a little below it in my opinion. The opening action sequence chase was amazing and really set the tone. I think Anya did fine, but I don't like her as much as Charlize Theron. Mostly she just looks too youthful to me, which is fine in the earlier parts but less good later.

I know that she cuts or gnaws off her arm, but she climbs a hill with her bike with Dementus hot behind her and the movie cuts to her walking through the desert (with a shot of maybe Max). There is nothing she could've done between the cut in order to escape Dementus...

[@Obscure128]

adum’s criticisms of Fury Road remind me of the Magic Xylophone gag from The Simpsons

[@cylondorado4582]

I get that fleshed out characters is a big one on the checklist, but I don't think it really hurt the vibe of the first one. I think that's like the train of thought that led people like Roger Ebert to say that The Thing could be thrown in the same bin as crappy slashers because it didn't have fleshed out characters with arcs. I think it was enough that they're simple, grounded characters with clear motivations in a movie with a good premise. And I think it's ok that it exists in the middle of the spectrum between something grounded like The Road, or something silly like Shoot 'em Up (one of my other favorite movies). I don't think it would have been better if nothing in it was supposed to be serious at all, but I also enjoyed how it was over the top. It's definitely interesting to hear Adam's persepective from a different angle though, since right after I watched it last week I watched the RLM review, and my opinions lined right up with Rich Even's, lol. He thought it wasn't quite as good as the first one, but Fury Road was in the running for his actual favorite movie. Which would still make Furiosa very good. So people like us would get a lot more out of the action scenes for their own sake without needing all that pesky attatchment. I think the world building just does a lot for me, like in the first one where the guy first spray paints his face and kamikazes himself while yelling, "WITNESS!", really stuck with me. Or like in the second one, where I thought the part where they intimidate Chris Hemsworth by having one of their guys kill themselves was worth the price of admission. And in the first one, Furiosa herself wasn't a super deep character that went through a lot of growth, but she's still one of my favorite characters in movies. I guess I feel like she just fits. Her only choicesin life are to be a badass, hang out at the bottom of that water spout with the poor people, or be one of Immortan Joe's wives. And even though there's a lot of heroes in movies, the idea of her doing something risky and heroic in the context of this bleak setting kind of makes it more impactful to me. Kind of like in Suicide Squad (one of my other favorite movies) where it seemed more heroic that they turned back to fight the monster after they had the option to just walk away with no consequences.

I was getting nauseous from all the zoom ins. Didn’t like the first few chapters at all. I had no idea what was going on and couldn’t understand anything Jack Sparrow was saying.

1:45 Strangely enough, the trailer had sound effects but no music for this scene.

Stelvio Cipriani: the first part surname is pronounced like *chip* (microchip...) so *chip*-riani. *Ci* are almost always pronounced like that in Italian. The rest of the name was more or less ok.

Furiosa got me so excited for Mufasa: A Mad Max Saga. Can’t wait for December to get here!!

I thought the gun effects was terrible in furiosa, there was no recoil, also no mention of the bloated awkward pacing that movie had

[@Guille-mz7xf]

Nah the music in Fury Road is great I don't agree in that at all

[@beagle626]

dude criticizing the musical score during the sandstorm scene. also who cares about the consistency of the engine noise? those decisions are made for whatever services the scene, not out of some rigid desire to abide by how things are in real life. like yeah i’m sure those scenes of characters talking would have worked way better if there was a blaring engine running noise dominating the sound mix. how are you real lmao.

[@deusexmachina9776]

you clearly don't understand sound design and sound fixing. Adam does music and understands and cares about such aspects so do a lot of people like David Fincher which is why the Social Network's scenes in clubs had actors shouting over each other.

That criticism about the music in the Storm scene in Fury Road is probably the most visceral disagreement I've had with you in a very long time lmao. That scene legit makes me cry for some reason. I see that sequence as almost less about the things that are happening in front of you, and more like a tragic commentary on what the world had become at that point. A lot of Fury Road and Furiosa are more or less commentaries on the self-destructive cycles of patriarchy and capitalism continuing even after the world was destroyed. I've always seen Fury Road as a feminist movie for men, and I think Furiosa almost doubles down on that, while also expanding on the lore of the world.

[@AscentArt]

You're usually on point with your musical critique in film, but for Fury Road you're way off base.

[@whytheory3251]

2 and half hours of a young girl mad at one guy sums up this entire movie.

[@marcespinoza6068]

If you enjoy feeling awful and having that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach then I highly recommend "Last Stop in Yuma County". This is not me saying it wasnt a very well made movie because it was, just not the feeling I enjoy coming away from a movie with.

[@New_Perspective]

I agree with Adum on the music for fury road so much. Sometimes it's like the music is trying to tell you the CGI shit you're seeing IS TOTALLY EPIC. Man just make me feel that with textile things like impact sounds, the whirling raging winds, and the sand crunching under the tires. It would've been so much more effective. Maybe hearing a horde of screams as a car gets lifted into the tornado and then those screams being cut short would've added to the tension as like 10 people just literally bit the dust. Instead it just feels like an epic movie moment. One I know I hero will overcome. Its cool, but not impactful.

I saw this during a camping trip at a small local theater and really, really enjoyed it despite the long run time. Really sad people are skipping on it because "Max" isn't in it.

If big movies are still going to be 2.5 hours long for the foreseeable future, please bring back the concept of an intermission. My bladder can't take going to cinema anymore.

[@Pipubbles]

This comment section has a really strange energy for a review video. I kind of just watch these video for the nice commentary and so I can watch a movie without watching a super long movie. And watch it if I really enjoyed the concepts discussed, not necessarily only watching the “good movies” by Adam’s standards.

[@fongdimbulator]

Maybe i need to watch Furiosa again, because the overwhelming online concensus seems to be that it rocks. But when i saw the trailer i thought it looked like a cheap knockoff. And then when i watched it in the theatre, i thought the pacing, the effects, the dialogue and most of the non-returning characters and rigs were as mid as the trailer hinted, too. Maybe in a world without Fury Road it would have blown my dick off rather than being the diet coke experience in comparison.

[@RedMoonSolitary]

Sorry for your loss, Adam. ❤

[@AnoNymous-dh2sv]

So true about the music at 1:50. You have a massive storm with perfect graphics and sound and action. You don't need deafening orchestra music.

[@JakeRayTM]

I thoroughly enjoyed Furiosa, for some of the same reasons Adum liked it. It was also the best theatre experience I've had in years, with the other audience members being as silent and immersed in the movie as I was. I'd give it a 7/10, but 9/10 theatre experience.

[@bilboswaggens2975]

Fury road was amazing. I haven’t seen furiosa yet because I’ll wait for it in streaming. Thats probably 80% of people out there too. Half the reason it flopped probably

[@talcono4476]

Really surprised Adum didn't bring up how in Furiosa a whole giant war was described to the audience in a voiceover and we barely saw any of it. I immediately thought this would be the biggest point of disappointment for anyone watching this movie but nobody is bringing it up. Also kinda thought the ending monologue was a little cloying and didn't quite land.

[@wickedhyperstyler]

im with you on both points. was looking forward to the war, however i was also kind of relieved about its omission, since i was already kind of fatigued by then.

[@Jescribano1]

Man I normally align with Adams taste but I really didn't like furiosa. I felt like the CGI was too noticeable for me to get immersed. I didn't really like any characters other than Chris Hemsworth... It just felt flat and I was bored 😴

[@MaikKellerhals]

I'm not on your side with the music... I loved the epicness of MM: FR.

[@jamesblair2713]

Fury Road and Furiosa are stories told visually first and foremost, and the sound design is meant to follow the intended effects of the stylized visuals rather than be realistic. As an example, there are a number of shots that are silent until a vehicle appears from out of frame, and the sound of the vehicle is only audible while the vehicle is onscreen as to not spoil its appearance before it shows up. If that’s too distracting for you, that’s obviously fine, but I think that can help explain some of the sound choices. Plus, I think the characters would have to yell over the engine for literally the entire movie, and it would get very grating.

[@SomeHomesickAlien]

[@IcyScythe]

Crazy that YMS is the one who sold me on Furiosa but you did. I disliked Fury Road b/c it had no character moments to speak of/felt like one long chase scene. I probably would have skipped this otherwise but I LOVED it.

[@Necrow_Productions]

The first chapter was not well shot. wtf are you on Adum, like Srsly? Did you not see the obvious green screens all over the place for the first two acts?!?!

Anger Max Furious Lady needs to be an actual movie

[@Investigate-311]

01:05 Interesting, the movie to me has a lot of mythology-like environment and themes (Valhalla, imperators, people acting and being worshipped as if they were gods, lots of Norse mythology references, etc.) so the choice of not using realistic sound volumes seems very fitting, the people in this world are portraited as heroes and Villans from old legends and not as real people (to an extent) so if the music and sound mixing were realistic we would not be able to lost ourselves on some of the scenes, I'll be asking myself, why does Max have premonitions? how did max survive the crash in the sandstorm? Why do they waste gasoline and resources on the guitar guy? Why does the citadel is so far up from the ground in what it seems to be a flat desert? Why does it seem like Max has infinite blood? All of these questions went away as soon as I saw the guy with the guitar, my inmediate thought was "this movie is supposed to be an Epic tale like the ones from old times but with cars and bullets instead of horses and swords", sure is grounded in reality but a no point does it try to be super realistic, most of the answers to the questions that I mentioned before have a simple answer when you think about it in that way and the answer is "because it looks cool" and this movie was definitely trying to do that and not concern itself with that much realism, so the audio not being realistic while talking inside the vehicle seems logical, we are listening to the characters and anything else is just not important, the lines in those scenes would not have worked if they were screaming while talking.

[@lutek1]

Just saw Yuma. It was without a doubt the most wasted 30 hours (it felt llike it) of my life in movies. The pacing is absolutely atrocious, it's fucking terrible. Haven't been so bored ever since watching the excruciatingly horrendous first 33 minutes of There will be blood. (Never watched any more than that, I'd rather stick needles in my eyes). And I rewatched Hatefull Eight the other day, just for comparison. (Also, Leone is one of my favorite directors) There is pacing, and there is the complete opposite. This was not simply terrible. This was fancy terrible. This was terrible with raisins. (D.Parker)

[@lutek1]

I think something worth mentioning about Last Stop In Yuma County is when the cop is conversing with the elderly couple early on, he mentions he lived in Waco TX and the woman says her grandson just moved there to sing and play guitar at Mount Carmel, which is clearly a reference to David Koresh.
