The pleasure of the crowd вЂ“ and hence the film audience too вЂ“ finds a commentary in the most recent film, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. The brush stroke sketches of character read like cartoon panels the films take us through impressionistic sequences where we ourselves are taken for a ride.Д®ach of the films is very beautiful to look at, from the orange landscapes of Broken Hill in The Road Warrior (1981) to the white Coober Pedy desert in Beyond Thunderdome (1985). We watch them now nostalgically as the last actions of a pre-digital filmmaking landscape sputtering gasoline onto the screen.

In the chase scenes of all the movies, we find the driver Max sensorially matched by the cinematic mechanics. The first truck chase from Mad Max 2: Road Warrior (1981). In all of the films, there are large passages of time with almost no, or else very limited, dialogue. The reduction of story into pure sight feels modern. Perhaps like the latest вЂњ cinema of attractionsвЂќ we are constantly exposed to today вЂ“ think online imagery, moving gifs, YouTube and vines вЂ“ the trilogyвЂ™s heavy focus on pure movement and sensorial tension in place of complex narrative has worked in its favour.ДЄfter the first film, Max doesnвЂ™t go so far as think about the possibility for further romantic attachment, so focused is he on mere survival.

Enduring appealДЄs I watched the films again recently on crisp Blu-Ray transfer, it was clear that despite the eraвЂ™s kitsch style markers such as high ponytails, saxophones, punk mohawks and mullets, all three of the films have aged remarkably well, certainly a lot better than the romantically-infused Crocodile Dundee (1986-2001) series, AustraliaвЂ™s other high-concept success story of the 1980s. DonвЂ™t forget that the fresh-faced Gibson also starred in Peter WeirвЂ™s Gallipoli in 1981, a representation that, culturally, fed back into Mad Max and quite blatantly into considerations of national identity and character. In local contexts heвЂ™s an expression of the taciturn вЂњbush legendвЂќ hero, or the Anzac legend. It is easy enough to see why Mel GibsonвЂ™s Max on his legendary suicidal missions serves as a cipher for both the international hard-boiled hero and for the American Western hero. Much has been written on the way that the Mad Max movies managed to blend high-concept mythic and epic narrative with daggy snatches of local humour and down-to-earth dialogue to appeal to both national Australian and overseas audiences.

Next week, after a 30-year hiatus, the series soon will be joined by a fourth film вЂ“ Mad Max: Fury Road. Perhaps it doesnвЂ™t really describe a manвЂ™s name so much as it pronounces a quality or a value, even of the style of the films themselves. Hence the вЂњmadnessвЂќ and insanity that is attached to his name. The character Max вЂ“ played by Mel Gibson in the original Mad Max trilogy (1979-1985) вЂ“ literally pushes to this penultimate limit, almost to the brink of annihilation. The philosopher Gilles Deleuze once reflected on how the alcoholic drinker is actually always on the look-out for the second-last or вЂњpenultimate drinkвЂќ rather than the final drink that will lead to unconsciousness or obliteration. Beyond this sublime tipping point lies the post-pleasure principle the death drive the burnt-out car at the bottom of the rocky cliff. The term вЂњreaching the maxвЂќ means to reach the top end or the final limit of something it means to lie on the precise threshold between the possible and the impossible.
