Showing Original Post only (View all)Mad Max enrages Men's Rights Activists who claim they are being duped into watching 'feminist [View all]
But Clarey (who hasn't actually seen the film yet) describes being mortified when discovering from critics, who hailed Therons performance and the well-rounded nature of her role in the film, that Fury Road was not your average action movie.
Charlize Theron kept showing up a lot in the trailers, while Tom Hardy (Mad Max) seemed to have cameo appearances. Theron sure talked a lot during the trailers while I dont think Ive heard one line from Hardy. And finally, Therons character barked orders to Mad Max. Nobody barks orders to Mad Max, an obviously distressed Clarey wrote.
He claims that he and other men are being duped by explosions, fire tornadoes and desert raiders into seeing what is guaranteed to be nothing more than feminist propaganda, while at the same time being insulted and tricked into viewing a piece of American culture ruined and rewritten right in front of their very eyes.
Upside: now my wife wants us to go see Mad Max.
