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.
