Mad Max Fury Road: Exploitation Cinima

Film Review: Mad Max Fury Road

Mad Max Fury Road follows quit a few of the exploitation genres that are popular in exploitation cinema, I will hopefully go through them all and explain how they are shown in the movie.

Carsploitation

The movie has lots of scene with car chases and weirdly modded vehicles traveling in a convoy. This is a popular type of exploitation cinema appealing to people who are big fans of car and bike culture.

Sexploitation

The movie focuses around a group of women who are lightly dressed at the start of the movie, who are the wives of one of the rulers in the dystopian society. They are shown as a representation of ethereal beauty dressed in white, however in the narrative they are shown as child-birthing slave. In the majority of Pulp sexploitation movies the female storylines and motivations are often questionable however in mad max fury road they are seeking freedom from there husband, and not following his orders like in other Sexploitation cinema.

Violence

There is a huge amount of violence in the movie as it follows the ideas of exploitation cinema, where violent movies are enjoyed by teenagers representing the Teenage Rebel category of exploitation cinema. The Rebellious nature of the violence within the movie could be seen as the exploitation of the teenage ideas of rebellion.

Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death. Before the audience is told about marks plans on how to stay alive fighting the main problem he faces in the whole

Lion King : Archetypes

Film Review: Lion King Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey. Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film. Herald: Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost. The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa. Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators. Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie. Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main all
