Mad Max IV is a flawed masterpiece. Now I know it’s based offa the true story of what happened in Australia when their internet was cut off for a week and the Floridans took over but the narrative could include a little more dramatic story beats. A good example of this is when Furiousa learns about the green place, the amazing shot of the wind pushing the sand from under her feet is a quite literal version from the rug being pulled under her but the shot could simply go on for a bit longer so we could see the amazing performance and the true scale could really sink into the audience. A lot of people complain about the movie in terms of Mel Gibson being replaced by Tom Hardy or Furiosa being the main character. Sure this may be furiosa’s movie, but I’m all for it. The other thing is that that soundtrack is way too orchestral, don’t get me wrong it sounds great but goddamn a much more metal soundtrack would fit well into this movie where a practical effects guitar shoots fire. The final nitpick my fat ass could sniff out was the fact that this thing NEEDED an R-rating. If you’ve seen the movie you know what I’m talking about, just the entire character of Immortan Joe is begging for a mature content warning.

Chapter 1 (Zachary Edward Snyder)

The new “Army of Thieves” movie is a solid flick. It’s a prequel to Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” and while it isn’t directed by him, he does have a role in the script’s writing (Similar to Tarantino’s role in the production of “From Dusk Till Dawn”). Snyder’s a talented guy, if you look at Watchmen, 300 or Justice League, you find a flair for the visual and a passion to tell gritty stories. However, Snyder carries his flaws from previous films into this Cinematic Universe. Namely, his tendency to try and deconstruct characters who haven’t been properly fleshed out yet, this can be seen with Batman’s whole Jason Todd arc, Silk Spectre (kinda) and pretty much everyone in Army of the Dead. Given the fact that we meet the characters in the middle of their journey, it makes for a disjointed and unfulfilling experience. When Dieter first died in AOTD, I barely gave a fuck since he was played off as comic relief and I had zero clue about his arc and why he seemingly wanted to fuck a vault, but after watching AOT it’s fucking poetic, The Götterdämmerung was the spire on which Siegfried (Dieter) died.

Chapter 2 (Non Linear storytelling)

Therein lies the point, Non-Linear storytelling can be a huge boon in the writers side (Just think of pretty much any Tarantino movie), it helps invest the audience in putting the pieces of the narrative together and provides an amazing viewing experience when the pieces fall into place, but there’s a delicate balance which is easily disruptable, you don’t give the audience too much information and they’re simply not going to care (as can be seen in Batman v Superman with the Flash time travelling and the Knightmare). This is further doubled down in the case of cinematic universes because it’s all the more complexity within the story and a jumbled up timeline can affect the audience’s perception of the character arcs.

Chapter 3 (Wagner’s opera):

Wagner’s opera titled Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring Cycle)

is what is considered to be his life’s work and is openly acknowledged to be vital to the story. In his ring cycle , Wagner uses musical themes to create a world of gods, heroes, dwarves and giants and that’s what Snyder is doing but he is contrasting the mythical figures with misfits, criminals and the whole cast which he haven’t been properly acquainted with yet (with film opposed to music of course) . The opera is divided into four parts:

* Das Rheingold (The Rhinegold)

* Die Walküre (The Valkyrie)

* Siegfried (proper noun)

* Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods)

Army of thieves represents Siegfried, the story of dieter finding love and with the elven ring (the zombie apocalypse) being but a background to his journey. Army of the Dead represents the culmination of all the previous stories, the Götterdämmerung, the twilight of all the characters, their final stand before their untimely death. (Except Kate, fuck you Kate you got the nice pilot lady killed).

I’m not sure what Snyder has planned for the Valkyrie but I’m guessing it’s a story about confronting mortality or a fall from power (perhaps about Tanaka and the Government?). Das Rheingold however will be the final film to the cinematic universe, ironically it’s gonna be the start of the zombie apocalypse.

Chapter 4 (The genius between the lines):

Interesting fact about the ring cycle, when the first piece was written it was considered a mess, simply because Wagner had decided to compose each piece in an order backwards to the story, and when the pieces fell into place, what resulted was a masterpiece of music. That’s what Snyder’s doing, this is his Magnum Opus. Zack Snyder’s writing a fucking poetic zombie opera and I can say with full fucking confidence that when the Rheingold releases, it will be his finest work.

The average investor

By Ranveer Chadha

Hi! Welcome to my blog. Here I discuss the various shares I’ve bought, the profits and losses and what factors I took into account whilst making my investment. This may prove useful to up and coming investors who truly want to understand what to buy and when to sell.

Let’s start with one of the first shares I bought, Virgin Galactic Holdings (SPCE). Now, I had just gotten into this business and I was genuinely scared of losing any cash, meaning I went through an extremely strict vetting process when it came to buying a stock.

After an embarrassingly long amount of digging I came across this article. Now it might seem kinda long and confusing, so I’ll summarise it for you. Virgin Galactic holdings had been given the go ahead by the FAA to test a spaceflight launch scheduled for the 22nd of may for the purpose of opening the possibility of space flight for individuals and private researchers.

This was obviously a huge step in the direction of commercial space travel (in this case a mere space flight, similar to Jeff Bezos’s escapade but impressive nonetheless). More importantly however, it meant the stock price was going to skyrocket. I obviously had to buy quickly, otherwise I wouldn’t score nearly as much of a profit.

The launch was scheduled for 22nd May 2021 and I bought 10 shares on the 21st at $21 apiece. Some might say it was risky buying before the launch but I had done my research, taken a look at the preparations and the various tests they ran, ultimately I did enough digging to justify my purchase.

Within 2 hours of the market opening on 22nd, word of the successful launch had spread and the value per share had risen to $31. While many people (me included) would assume this to be the spike in value, the actual spike happened a few days later when all the latecomers started buying. Eventually the peak value of the SPCE stock after the launch was 56 dollars per share.

Now we come to the biggest point I have to make in this blog. A little thorn in any investors side called “seller’s remorse”. I, myself, had bought 10 shares at $21 and sold it at $31 thus netting a profit of $100 when I could’ve made $350. This may seem extremely trivial but most people buy stocks by the hundreds and thousands meaning even a single cent worth of profits increasing could mean hundreds of dollars worth of profits.

This is primarily the result of the most basic of human instincts, fear. All of a sudden when you see the graphs turn green and the line go up, a rush of adrenaline flows to your brain and any minor 2 cent slide downwards would get you to panic thinking you may lose whatever profits you could’ve made. Many people think that the true importance lies in what to buy. What most people forget is that every stock will rise and fall given enough time. In reality knowing when to sell is equally if not more vital.

Thanks for reading my blog.
