Strong female character

Rating: 6/10 (26 April 2016)

Having a female lead character in Mad Max Fury Road was excellent in the step forward of the portrayal of strong female characters in modern day films. The other female characters in the film were stereotypically passive, to the extreme where they were seen as objects being stolen, this regrettably pulls the film away from positive feminist side. But on the other hand, Furiosa's strong personality balances this out and makes the film an empowerment to female representation in films. She is strong physically and mentally, being a brave powerful woman. A con of the film will be that the name of the film is 'Mad Max', named after the secondary male character, it seems odd that the film would not contain Furiosa's name being the lead character. But alas, having Furiosa as the lead character is a step forward for female representations.
