The film Heavy Metal FAKK, while a formula movie, is much different from its contemporaries and those with the same formula. The formula, in this case, being that of the story of revenge, and how one ordinary mortal rises to be a hero to avenge the ruthless death of her loved ones. Though this story has been told and retold many times over, there is one very different aspect in Heavy Metal FAKK that sets it apart other movies with the same formula. In this particular action movie, the hero is not a man, but a woman, yes, a woman named Julie. Usual films of this formula will have a male as its lead character and he will rise up to become the town or the family’s hero. Julie does the same, even though she is a girl, and her choice of weapon is the Heavy Metal FAKK Sword. This is not just one of your ordinary swords, as this very special weapon is used to acquire revenge on her family’s murderers. Sword collectors all over the world may be enamored with fantasy swords, but this particular sword is worth looking into, not for its magical qualities, but for the noble purpose it has been used for. Most importantly, it is a symbol of courage and the quest for justice that transcends gender boundaries. It is a symbol for a woman’s battle against tradition, and her bravery to rise up to a very special role that is normally undertaken by men.
