Is Mad Max a parody?

Would you consider "Mad Max" a parody of Australians? The only sane
person in the entire movie seemed to be Max's wife and look what
happpened to her.

I wonder if it had been made in the USA by Americans, with eery
gesture and syllable the same if Australians would have considered it
insulting.

When I first saw it I had already been to OZ several times, had
conversed well with what I thought were people with the thickest
Australian accents, but I needed to watch it with closed captions to
understand it.

Yes, indeed, just like Bridget Jones is a parody of English, and anything
Ronald Regan is in is a parody of the US. Only the Indians have it right,
they take the **** out of themselves before anyone else has time to.
