Why does holywood shows cars and fire guitars when depicting apocalyptic climate change? - Lemmy.world

Dude, what? Have you ever watched Mad Max? Do you even know what it is about? lol
It has nothing to do with climate change, has no pro car message and is not even from Hollywood.
This is just ignorant.

has no pro car message

“violent car chases look fucking sick” is a pretty core part of mad max so it at least has a cars-are-cool message

Fury Road has a very strong theme of extractive/capitalist survival (represented by cars, gas, control of water etc) = bad, regenerative/communalist survival (represented by the mothers and plant life) = good. The action scenes are ofc designed to be cool but I think the broader environmental/social message is strong enough that the flame guitar doesn't drown it out.
