10 Christian Perspectives On 2015's Movies

10. Mad Max: Fury Road - "Better Than Exodus!"

“It is striking how much biblical imagery is in this movie,” claimed one viewer. “In way, it’s a better Exodus movie than the “Exodus” movie (which didn’t strike me as anything spectacular). You have water from the rock, the freeing of slaves, the search for a Promised Land, you have Pharaoh’s chariots updated to a post-apocalyptic vision.”

Claiming the movie is about “a struggle between those who seek something to believe in and those who follow a false god”, the viewer claims director George Miller took inspiration from Isaiah 35:1: “The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.”

Other viewers were more impressed by Miller’s “bold portrait of Biblical feminism.” Like Esther, Furiosa is “merely a possession until the serpent is crushed and she is enthroned….women must be empowered, but women can only be empowered by faithful men.”
