Society is still holding together and there is a framework of law. Compare that to the 1st Mad Max film where society is falling apart and the framework of law is crumbling into nothing.

Quote:Originally posted by Fremdfirma: Of course, IMHO the best post-apocalyptic is Nausica of the Valley of the Wind - just an awesome flick through and through, animated or not.
Wednesday, January 27, 2010 5:45 AM
Quote:The original, New World Pictures dub of Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind was Macekred so heavily that Hayao Miyazaki held off licensing his other films until someone approached him with a deal that stipulated no changes to the script or editing. This one is perhaps the most reviled C&P Translation of the 1980s, if only because the effects of the mauling of a work perceived by the Japanese as practically a national treasure are still felt in the industry; many Japanese companies still remember what happened to Nausicaa and are now incredibly paranoid themselves about any changes to their product in translation, even if it would help that product... When Miramax picked up Princess Mononoke, one of Studio Ghibli's producers didn't forget the previous disaster and reportedly sent the Miramax execs a katana with a note saying "No cuts."

Quote:Originally posted by jewelstaitefan: Since Dark Angel occurs AFTER the Apocalypse aka The Pulse, this would be known as "POST-Apocalypse" for those needing a refresher. Hence it would fit in the post-apocalypse genre.
Quote: By your logic, Planet of the Apes would not qualify because of the presence of law, society, order.

This conversation was initally about Dark Angel. Since you clearly didn't read it higher in the thread, I shall copy/paste it for you: Dark Angel isn't in the post-apocalypse genre. The world of that verse continues, albeit in an overwhelming economic depression. Society is still holding together and there is a framework of law. Compare that to the 1st Mad Max film where society is falling apart and the framework of law is crumbling into nothing.

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: I read it; I just don't agree with your assessment. Or, as you told Chris, your opinion is wrong.
Quote:And by the way, this conversation was ORIGINALLY about favorite post-apocalypse movies, NOT Dark Angel. You really should pay attention!

Quote:Originally posted by Kwicko: Ah - I mistook JSF's post on Dark Angel for one of Chris's posts. Not an unlikely occurrence, since when it comes to discussing Dark Angel, it usually IS Chris who's doing the discussing. Still, in the framework of post-apocalypse, I'd say DA qualifies. I sure LOOKS like about half the societal order is gone. And if all you need to disqualify something from apocalyptic is a loose framework of law and society, then even A Boy and His Dog would be disqualified. Hell, there were even SOME rules in the Mad Max trilogy... By the way, you jumping in with crap like "No. You're wrong" makes it look like you got your debating tactics from AuRaptor, so are you really sure you want to be impugning anyone else's? 'Cause if you want to go that route, I can already tell you you're wrong. Even if it IS just your opinion, it's still wrong. :) Mike Work is the curse of the Drinking Class. - Oscar Wilde
