Warning: Spoiler alert. Fury Road is buzzing. Easily one of the best action films of the decade, or the action film of the decade, critics have been ringing up its “live stunt” merits, its ingenious action sequences, and its feminist core. But what exactly makes Fury Road so effective? To put it simply, it’s the writing. Yes, film writing is only part of the success, you have to actual film what you write, right? And act it, and so forth... Fury Road is a successful Film (with a capital F) because the writers do not pander to the groundlings. George Miller, Brendan McCarthy (known for comics and TV work), and Nico Lathouris (an actor/ TV writer who had a bit part in the original Mad Max ) craft a world without Basil Exposition. If you are prone to long bathroom breaks you just might miss an image crucial to the plot. Is this a groundbreaking filmmaking technique, to let the pictures do the talking? Hardly. Just one rarely used in Hollywood. Hollywood likes to scaffold
