Generate an informative conclusion for the given argumentative text. | PC is only detrimental to society if it is enforced with such authority that it completely ignores and prohibits the original intention of the notion of free speech. Depending on certain environments, political correctness is needed just to seem civil and rational. If such authority does come along and starts harshly enforcing, then we will be in trouble. | A civilised society requires some level of established political correctness, and a civil society is better than an uncivil one. |
Generate an informative conclusion for the given argumentative text. | Ostensibly, MMFR is post apocalypse Australia, but I consider this to be an almost irrelevant assertion that has little to no bearing on what the film depicts. The story is essentially in the vein of Hero myths only in a future sci fi milieu rather than a past fantasy milieu and is best understood in that context. I have several reasons 1 despite ostensible scarcity of water, guzzoline, and bullets, the society depicts that the warlords have plentiful supplies and merely control access and trade. Moreover, there is profligate waste of these resources. The Honest Trailers review of the movie points out that everyone wastes water, and the methods of distributing it make no sense. My view is that it doesn't have to, it's not even intended to make rational sense. 2 There is no identifiable geography that indicates the story takes place in the real world. There is no indication of how far in the future the story takes place, just as in past oriented myths there is no indication of how long ago were the labors of Hercules or the Aboriginal Dreamtime. 3 Ostensibly, the old model cars are the only ones still operational due to the collapse of the maintenance infrastructure that modern computerized cars depend on, but I don't buy it. It's one thing to have an obsolete gas guzzler, but after massively increasing the weight by fusing two or three additional gas guzzlers together, strapping on additional engines, turbochargers, etc, you'd be getting about six inches to the gallon, and that's before other absurdities such as spraying fuel directly into the air intakes and building flamethrowing guitars atop massive iron behemoths which serve no purpose except to provide thumping diegetic rock music to get your War Boyz pumped up. 4 The characters themselves seem to be mythic caricatures. Immortan Joe, The People Eater, and The Bullet farmer are overtly monstrous The latter is basically a blind half tank machine gun centaur by the end . They don't act like warlords managing armies and ruling kingdoms, they act like dragons who have had their hoards plundered by dwarves and hobbits. I think Joe's mask is designed to evoke an overtly dragon like aspect. Likewise, Joe's Wives are angelic creatures by post apocalyptic standards. Furiosa and Max are demigod heroes in comparison to the wretched state of Joe's serfs and the goblin like War Boyz. The naming conventions are also larger than life in addition to the warlords, names like The Splendid Angharad, Toast The Knowing, Cheedo The Fragile, The Organic Mechanic, Corpus Collossus, Rictus Erectus, The Valkyrie, and The Keeper of Seeds indicate that we're not dealing with ordinary people, we're dealing with mythic characters with specific attributes for their role in the story. gt This is a footnote from the moderators.
