Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

Mad Max With Its Visual Effects Worker

lunokii:

So I went and saw Mad Max a second time with one of its visual effects workers, and we had some pretty cool discussions about the movie. He also let me flip through a storyboard book he was given really fast and so here’s a list of a bunch of stuff he told me…

• Angharad’s scars are from self-harm

• The scenes were filmed in order of how they appear in the movie

• Rictus Erectus’ baby head necklace represents that he has the mind of a child

• Mother’s Milk is turned into cheese

• Someone cut off Furiosa’s arm so besides that she’s completely healthy

• Immortan Joe is the most powerful out of himself, Bullet Farmer, and People Eater

• The Bird People (the ones on stilts in the Green Place) eat crows

• Rictus is pretty much immune to pain

• Originally History Woman/Miss Giddy was going to be killed by Joe to symbolize that he doesn’t care about the past, only the present where he is powerful

• On the original story boards there was going to be a scene where the wives are sitting in the War Rig and singing to each other

• The flashes of Max’s daughter represent his fears trying to escape so that Max can accept himself

• When Max is watching everyone go across the salts and his daughter makes him hit his head, for a brief instant her face turns into the face of the guy who shoots Max

• Nux imprinted on Capable and loves her because she was the first person to show him true kindness. They have more of a strong platonic bond than a romantic bond

THIS IS SO AWESOME

*shrieking*

Having trolled some of the AO3 Fury Road tag, I’ve learned something interesting.

I am AGGRRESSIVELY here for everything involving Max and Furiosa.

I like them best as Epic Lifelong Drift-Compatible Postapocalypse Badass Bros.  They are the BroTP to end all BroTPs.  But hey.

Aromantic casual sex buddies who snark and spar?  I’m down, let’s go, I’m so down with that shit.

Asexual partners who drive around and sleep next to each other because it makes them feel safe?  Give it to me.

Soul mates in every way, sexual, romantic, practical, all of the above, who cobble together a slapdash system for running the Citadel and work through their issues?  Hell yeah, hELL FUCKING YEAH.

Long-suffering pseudo-parents to the Wives (who ship it like FedEx) and the War Boys (who worship both of their badassery in a much more healthy way than they worshipped Joe)?  I AM READY.

Witness me becoming absolute trash.

In maybe, MAYBE, eight hours, this post has gotten more notes than anything I’ve ever posted.  Scratch that, possibly more notes than EVERYTHING I’ve ever posted, put together.

What the fuck do I even do with that.

caladblog:

and how she’s the only woman in the citadel we see who doesn’t directly belong to joe

and wondering how she got to be in that position

and wondering: what if it was something like what happened to max in the beginning of the movie (spoilers under the cut)

the inevitable post about imperator furiosa’s robot arm

*points loudly at blog title*

gonna put this under a cut so none of my followers get spoiled/are forced to look at my inappropriately intense scientific interest

lierdumoa:

Furiosa isn’t the female action hero we’re used to. Furiosa doesn’t have a dad who was taught her boxing or five brothers who taught her how to fix cars. Furiosa wasn’t a tomboy growing up, who preferred to play with the boys. Furiosa isn’t avenging the murder of her husband/brother/father or hunting down a rapist.

Furiosa comes from a community of women. She was raised by women. She works her way up through enemy ranks until she’s in a position to  rescue women. Furiosa is here for women, she is here with women, and she is here because of women. Her rage, her ruthlessness, her courage – these are all things she learned from women, and from being a woman.
