#let’s just save each other and casually share a meaningful glance aka WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME
Seriously, his face right here is killing me. They’re in the middle of a fight and Max just did an insane flying tackle while running down a moving vehicle to save her, but then Furiosa brakes for him and he takes this moment to stare at her like he can’t believe it. (I’m really trying to come up with an explanation that doesn’t sound like it got filtered through my shipper goggles, but I can’t. He’s not noticing Toast is gone – the eyeline is all wrong – and it could just be a ‘we’re so fucked’ look, but he has to be visibly startled out of looking at her by a guy attacking over the cab roof.)
On reflection, it’s a lot like the look Max gives Furiosa when she offers him a fully loaded bike.
We’ve talked a lot about how Max and Furiosa come to trust each other over the movie, but when was the last time someone protected him like that?
good god the ‘non-shippy’ reading is even sappier than the shippy one it’s beautiful my reading is that they’re both SO CONCERNED like Holy hell you’re still all right and not quite able to believe it like did Furiosa actually expect her breaking trick to work? he had to grab the engine not to go flying off they’re desperately making up tricks to rescue each other at 60+ miles per hour and it’s wonderful (via mumblingsage)
Also noticed on this go around the way he’s holding his left hand, it’s still wrapped up from when the steering wheel got harpooned. I love the consistency in this movie, how damage carries over.
I love that confused look on Max’s face, “you braked. you braked for me. Why. why. you keep moving. you need to keep moving.”
you need to keep moving:
Bonus: The War Boy who stabbed Furiosa managed to more easily climb back onto the Rig because she was braking to save Max.
So I thought this morning, maybe I was just nightblogging. Maybe it’s not the sort of the same expression he had during the my name is max scene.
Oh god no my heart. It kinda is? Still that confused concerned whyyyyyy. Ugh Tom Hardy do you even realize what your face is doing jfc of course you do, and so does Sixel.
