changing gender roles” (quoted in Mahrdt 1) and, as society changes and opinions are altered, television shows adapt. However, the television show Mad Men is unique because it does not show life today, but the life of the 1960s. It shows what life was like for the women who lived during a time when the “feminine mystique” controlled society. While Mad Men may seem to be just another sexist show dominated by chauvinist men and submissive women, it is, in fact, a time piece. The creator for the series

The dynamic of gender roles within 1960s society is the most prominent issue within Mad Men. The show does not shy away from the conformity of the time. Behind the pristine hair and perfectly stylised clothes - the men are in control and the women are ultimately suppressed of any power. The Man Don Draper, the protagonist of the show, is emotionally isolated yet narcissistic, trapped in a suffocation of his own ego. Yet he seems to be the most liberal when it comes to serious female contribution

George Miller directs, and is similarly the director of the previous Mad Max trilogy. It’s a movie filled with excitement, explosion filled chase scenes, and gunfights. And yet, somewhere along the way, Mad Max: Fury Road manages to establish surprisingly deep characterization, intricate lore, and tells an impressively feminist tale of women
At first glance, Mad Men seems to be a mild television program about life in the glamorous advertising industry during the 1960’s. The astounding attention to detail in regards to costuming, set, and props can easily sweep the viewer away on a whirlwind ride to the land of nostalgia. It evokes a remembrance of simpler times that were uncomplicated by the ever mutating technologies of today. However, as the series progresses this tranquil façade is broken by the turbulent realities of the decade.

While I love car chases and explosions (and Tom Hardy) as much as the next person, that was all I thought the movie would have to offer. I was wrong. Mad Max may be the title character, but the real hero of the film is Imperator Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron. Furiosa is high up in the military ranks of the Citadel, a post-apocalyptic society lead by Immortan Joe. During
The film Mad Max Fury Road is set in a post apocalyptic world and has a cast of varied characters. One of the protagonists of the film is Max. His costume consists of rather practical clothing. He lives in a harsh environment and in a world where resources must be scarce thus he sticks to the basics. He wears a shirt, pants, jacket, scarf, and boots. These clothes are enough to cover him sufficiently from the sun and the sand. Naturally these clothes are also very worn and dirtied. The clothes were
trilogies of all time, Mad Max, appeared on screens between 1979 and 1985. Since then, Miller strayed from fast paced movies and produced documentaries and family-friendly movies like Happy Feet all until recently.
