Function of place in Mad Max 2 by Georgre Miller 1981 (film) Movie Review

Function of place in worked up goop 2 by Georgre Miller 1981 (film) - Movie Review ExampleThe cinematography of Mad Max 2 makes very little use of interiors but instead invites the audience to a wide loose desert space, reminiscent of the blue skies, red sand and rugged canyons that were common in traditional Hesperians. The characters in their black leather or white canvas clothing move around this desolate space, and the notion that is given is deliberately edgy and harsh. The sun beats down on the settlers camp, and the bikers circle same marauding Indians, and all of the humans appear to be in a frontier between polish and a deadly wilderness. The way the camera approaches the action is very different from the predictable and safe western style, however. Car chases are filmed with the camera low to the ground, and the vehicles approaching at speed and this draws the audience reclaim into the danger. The main character played by Mel Gibson, is a drifter, neither one of the robbers, nor one of the homesteaders with their homely pigs and chickens. This posture does not symbolize the pioneers taming the wilderness, but rather the wilderness has the upper hand and the settlers are very often at its mercy. This film uses location to underline the destructiveness of industrialization and the precariousness of human survivors after an apocalyptic war.
