Mad Max is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller and revised by Miller and Byron Kennedy over the original script by James McCausland. The film stars Mel Gibson, who was unknown at the time. Its narrative based on the traditional western genre, Mad Max tells a story of breakdown of society, love and revenge. It became a top-grossing Australian film and has been credited for further opening up the global market to Australian New Wave films. --Wiki

The final scene in Mad Max communicates the cost that society must levy on the individual if it is to function smoothly. Max stands over Johnny the Boy. Johnny is handcuffed by the ankle to a wrecked car. Max sets up a symbolic test for Johnny, which will gauge the sincerity of Johnny’s protest that the crimes committed weren’t his fault. Max sets up the car’s dripping fuel into a time bomb that will explode shortly.

As he hands over a saw Max explains to Johnny that it will take him ten minutes to saw through the handcuffs, but only five to saw through his ankle. This gruesome test is symbolic for Johnny’s inclusion into society; he must amputate himself â€" remove his ability to function as an individual â€" to survive. Max offers him death or mutilation. Lawful society requires the individual to sacrifice their ability to function in isolation and Max sets up the symbolic test to examine if Johnny is able to submit to domination.

Max himself doesn’t survive this symbolic test unfazed; as the film ends we are given a symbolic image. The camera speeds along the white line in the middle of a road, Max is symbolically on the edge between two opposite lanes; Max is situated between madness and sanity, law and criminality. -- http://ardfilmjournal.wordpress.com/

this is one movie that made me feel bad for days on end after watching.  the dystopia that the movie represents is just too bereft of spirituality, just the thought of it being possible can give nightmares.

The Mad Max star spouted a now infamous anti-Jewish tirade when he drunkenly claimed Jews were responsible 'for all the wars in the world', after he was arrested in Malibu for drunk-driving.

Meanwhile, there are claims from some surrounding Miss Grigorieva that she was left angry and bemused during their three-year relationship by his refusal to live with her and their daughter, preferring to remain alone in his Malibu compound while she has been living 15 miles away in another of his properties in the Los Angeles suburb of Sherman Oaks.

After a series of rows about money, Gibson called off a planned Christmas Day wedding and is said to have bowed to pressure from friends who have long considered his fiercely ambitious new lover to be a gold-digger.

According to sources in the U.S., the dark-haired Oksana, who has dated a string of older, rich men, refused point-blank to sign a pre-nuptial agreement offered to her by Gibson which would have paid her $5 million (£3.25 million) a year for ten years should their planned marriage fail.

Party time: The legendary Hollywood actor's eye for pretty
girls was a source [domestic] of conflict

During the height of his fame in the early 1990s, the long-suffering Robyn [Gibson's wife, now his ex] threatened to leave the heart-throb if he did not join Alcoholics Anonymous.

She also persuaded him to check into rehab and rediscover his once-staunch Catholic faith.

Later he admitted he had reached 'the height of spiritual bankruptcy' and had contemplated suicide, and it had been former dental nurse Robyn who had saved him from himself.

But the marriage was blighted by regular claims of his taste for a succession of beautiful women.

And if sources close to Miss Grigorieva  -  who met the star on the set of his 2008 movie Edge Of Darkness  -  are to believed, it is a habit that Gibson has remained unable to kick.

Earlier this week, he was hit by allegations from a Polish actress who says that she had a three-month affair with Gibson last year during the time of Lucia's birth.

After the alleged affair fizzled out, 26-year-old Violet Kowal claims  -  rightly or wrongly  -  that the actor rang her and yelled: 'Listen, you bitch, do you know who this is? Don't f*** with me or I'll make you suffer.'

A chastened Gibson, meanwhile, is said to have spent the weekend deep in prayer with his personal confessor, Catholic priest Father Clement Procopio.

'It's hit Mel very badly,' an LA casting director, who has known Gibson for 20 years, told me this week.

'The knives are out for him.  He just about escaped with his career when he blurted out that stuff about Jews, but this could really finish him.'

If that turns out to be the case, the troubled and deeply unpleasant Gibson will have only himself to blame.
