fury road really said "you have to stop trying to go back to the past you idealized because it's gone, and it probably wasn't perfect in the first place, and what you build in the future won't be perfect either, but it will be worth it anyway because you build it with compassion" and i've never been the same since

THE KNIFE HOLDS THE PROSTHETIC IN PLACE, OH MY GOD
Wide awake because I can't stop thinking about how Furiosa saved Max from falling by catching him with her prosthetic arm, and because of the weight and her wound, she would have dropped him were the arm not a prosthesis strapped to her torso. And she didn't grab him by the leg, she caught him by the leg brace around his left knee, and the hold likely wouldn't have worked if not for the brace; later, Max saves her life.
The two most badass characters in what has been lauded as "one of the greatest action films ever made" only survive because of their mutual disabilities.

Started folding clothes while listening to this, then I had to stop and give it my full attention. This might be THE Mad Max video essay. We hit the Wizard of Oz, mythmaking, the role empowering women has on climate change and social stability, everything.

Treason, betrayal, an Imperator gone rogue. She took a lot of stuff from Immortan Joe. Breeders! His prize breeders. He wants them back. Not a hand laid on ‘em.

Hope
Life lay just under the surface, waiting patiently for rain.  Relief will soon be in bloom.

Thinking about how many reviewers at the time pointed out that Immortan Joe’s water distribution system wasn’t just inefficient, but bafflingly, illogically so.  More and more it becomes obvious that was always the point.
