In May 2015, director George Miller finally presented the viewer with the fourth film of the famous franchise about Max Rokatansky. The continuation of his adventures was released 30 years after the third part was shown.
The painting was welcomed by critics and awarded many awards. Among them, there are six Oscars. The protagonist and the laws of the post-apocalyptic world remained the same, and the actors of the movie “Mad Max” performing leading characters have changed for obvious reasons.
Tom hardy
The role of Max Rokatansky in the fourth film went to the British actor Tom Hardy. He is familiar to our viewers by the role of Eames in the movie "Beginning". Also, the actor could be remembered in the image of Bane - Batman's implacable enemy in the film "The Dark Knight: Revival of the Legend."
In the film "Survivor", he plays one of the leading and controversial roles - the hunter John Fitzgerald. According to Tom Hardy, the role of Max was not easy for him. Indeed, the previously starring actors of the movie “Mad Max” have long been associated with the story with the viewer.
Mel Gibson
Recall that in the three previous films of the famous franchise, the role of the main character Max Rokatansky was played by the inimitable Mel Gibson. According to the director, participation in the filming of a favorite actor did not give the franchise further development. A story about aging Max would have come out. Therefore, the fears of Tom Hardy were in vain. His work was highly praised by critics.
And the other image of the hero turned out to be very organic, as the story received a new round. The fact is that director George Miller planned to end the story of the glorious road warrior with the movie “Mad Max 3: Under the Dome of Thunder”. The idea of new adventures of Rokatanski has ripened for 30 years. The conditions of the game in a crazy world have changed, the protagonist has evolved. Now he will have to fight for humanity as a whole, and not just for food and fuel resources.
Charlize Theron
The famous Charlize Theron played the role of the military commander of the Citadel of the Groundwater Settlement, Furiosa. Her heroine does not need protection? unlike the characters shown in previous paintings of the Mad Max franchise. The film, the actors and heroes of which they play, continues the sad story of the world that has degraded after endless wars for fuel resources. But there is hope.
Furiosa’s mission is to bring young women from the harem of the stronghold dictator Immortal Joe to the free “Green Lands” to establish a new community. Max, due to circumstances, becomes a participant in this assignment. Hiding from their pursuers and participating in battles, the heroes manage to carry out the plan, but not in the way it was planned. The talented and Oscar-winning Charlize Theron is familiar to our viewers from many films, including: “Monster”, “Astronaut's Wife”, “Devil's Advocate”, “Mighty Joe Young”, “Eon Flax”, “Sweet November”.
Nicholas Holt
The role of Nax, a follower of Immortal Joe, who was sent to kill the rebellious Furios, and then became her faithful ally, was played by the English actor Nicholas Holt. Like other actors in the movie “Mad Max”, it has a rather interesting appearance and decoration. I must say that for the work of costumers and make-up artists, the film received one of six honestly deserved Oscars.
The role in this film is not the first work of the actor, which was highly praised by critics and the public. This young, but already popular artist was well remembered by the viewer for his main male role in the films Jack the Vanquisher of the Giants, Heat of Our Bodies, Equals. The audience also knows his work in the new version of the superhero trilogy X-Men, where he played the mutant Hank McCoy, nicknamed the Beast.
The film "Mad Max": actors, roles
The role of the main villain - Colonel Joe Moore, known as the Immortal Joe, was played by the Australian actor and director Hugh Kiyas-Bern. This is not his first work in the famous movie saga. In 1979, he was already busy in the movie Mad Max. Hugh then played the Ripper of the biker gang leader.
In the role of the Charming Ankhart, one of the wives of the dictator Immortal Joe, the famous supermodel Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley starred. Fans of the popular franchise about transformers, she is known for the main female role in the third part of the film "The Dark Side of the Moon."
In conclusion, I would like to wish everyone a pleasant viewing and enjoy the tricks, special effects, plot and characters that were brilliantly performed by the actors of the movie “Mad Max: Road of Fury”.
