Okay, but those sister wives are what confuse me. But I felt like his Mad Max was a little… introverted. He’s crazy talented and not sore on the eyes either. Tom Hardy as Max, though the title character, was pretty much eye candy.

We only spend real time with two male characters in the film: Max, whose struggle with PTSD is one of the most honest portrayals of mental illness I’ve ever seen on film, and who seems perfectly happy to play backup to Furiosa’s commandership and Nux, whose transformation from mindless, frothing henchman to a helper who finds his beating heart through the kindness of freed slave Capable speaks deep truth about allyship and sacrificing our own privilege to pursue liberation for all.Ĭharlize Theron carried the weight of the film’s emotional journey, and managed to do so even though pretty much the whole entire film was a high speed car chase.

I want to watch the movie again and focus only on their experiences with and reactions to the horror unfolding around them, because there is immense texture within their stories. Instead of forming a chorus of interchangeable former sex slaves, they are five women with their own goals, struggles and connections to each other and other characters. Those women each embody their own strength and grace, overcoming fear and internalized misogyny to create a vision for a new life.
