    I have been thinking about how my appreciation for cars in movies is even more ironic than my appreciation for guns in movies Like irl I just do not have a gun and don't interact with guns, which is different from my relationship with driving, a part of my life I actively hate

        Adding to the irony, I'm pretty good at shooting in video games whereas my incompetence with driving an actual car seems to have translated to racing games wholesale I'm not even good at Mario Kart

        And yet cars in movies are such a thrilling experience I will take a good car chase over a fistfight, swordfight or gunfight any day Or a dogfight for that matter (planes and spaceships are cool but always feel more abstract and less visceral than driving on the ground)

        Partly that's because really good car chases are so much more difficult age expensive to film, or to fully fake with CGI The Fast and the Furious has lasted this long because they put the work in

        George Miller said his inspiration for the Mad Max franchise was working in an ER and seeing the horrible injuries teenage boys came in with from car wrecks Saying that Australia has car culture the way the US has gun culture, with a corresponding body count

        And Mad Max was born of this love/hate fascination he had with "hoon culture" (reckless stunt driving), which in Australia is very serious business (they specifically have "anti-hoon legislation", it's one of their big social ills)

        This feeling born specifically of living in a country with these huge empty expanses all around you, like the US or Australia And the automobile as your weapon against the void, your power to strike back against how small it makes you feel

        An expanse that demands to be filled, a gap that demands to be crossed, a silence the demands to be filled with the sound of a roaring engine The miracle of technology to make a hundred miles into an hour's travel

        It's one of my most stereotypically masculine interests but yeah I really feel that in my gut It's why I'll always go to bat for Mad Max as a franchise (and I think of Fury Road as essentially the perfect action movie)

        Cars are a beautiful work of engineering that I would be more than happy to never deal with again.
