One further possible detail of Max and Furiosa's bond is when he tells Furiosa that Angharad went under the wheels. I've always thought that the look he gives her combined with what he said was him subtly telling Furiosa "It doesn't matter if she's alive or dead. We can't stop to get her." And Furiosa understands because she too knows that if they go back for her, Joe will catch them and it'd all be for nothing.
Hitchcock believed that silent films were the purest form of film. Fully telling the story through the camera, which is why when visual storytelling is done well in film, like Fury Road, it’s that much more rewarding.
When 80% of movie is action of course you don't need that much of dialogue, it works for some type of movies for some dont that's the point of different genre
"Max goes from wanting to kill her" One really, really important element of characterization to keep in mind is that no, Max, in fact, didn't want to kill Furiosa, or anybody there, not even Nux. He just wanted to g e t a w a y. If he wanted to kill Furiosa he would have shot her instead of firing off warning shots, if he wanted to kill Nux he would have instead of popping him in the sternum, and so on and so forth. But your point overall still stands.
Yes, but I do think in that moment "they were wanting to kill each other" If Max had to, he absolutely would have killed everyone there, if it meant his survival. We are told this in the beginning, with his one sole goal.
@@lockekappa500 they were fully willing to kill each other but didn't want to if they could avoid it. It's the difference between desperate and irredeemable.
@@Neutral_Tired That's also partially wrong. Furiosa definitely would have killed him (she actually tried to shoot an empty shotgun) because he's just another man in the way of her/their freedom/redemption, and he was the one who actually had a choice and no reason to hold back with a loaded pistol but didn't do it while fighting for his freedom. What's interesting is that it is the same thing that drove her to kill him and him not to kill them: the bits of humanity left in them.
@@gmatsue84well said... the sequence takes the characters and us as the audience from self-preservation end survival instincts to cooperation via empathy. Very powerful
Thats the best use of "Show, don't tell" .. much like Vince gilligan did in Breaking Bad and specially Better Call Saul..no dialogue, only progress for 10 or more minutes... respect for the people who are patience enough to Invest in good story telling
This movie always brings tears to my eyes throughout the entire runtime because of how well-made it is. This script is so tight and understands payoff, and the editing is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Just like the world of Mad Max, this film wastes not.
It's kind of amazing how much chemistry Max and Furiosa have, considering Hardy and Theron hated each other and wanted nothing to do with each other all throughout filming.
@@sailormordred1335 I recall from snippets of interviews with the man that Hardy had no motivation or faith in this film and it's success. He had a generally bad time on set (as most did, a lot went poor in Fury Road's production) and was sure it would flop. It wasn't until he saw the final cut he changed his mind completely.
It's just a more dynamic form of story telling. I get that people want to make a post-apocalyptic myth/fable ( which I feel what Furiosa was trying to convey) using elements from Conan and even LOTR as inspirational beats. Mad Max is about the shreds and dregs of humanity with brief fleeting moments of redemption. Not Cinderlla.
Great video ! One crucial point you missed in the Anghara death scene is the fact that she slipped *because* Max shot her. The camera shows a close-up of the wounded leg, and then she slips. There was another important element of narrative story-telling through pictures that gives additional depth to the scene, since we know their passed conflict and Max's actions are the causes of this death. Remorse is added to grief, which goes further into the lone warrior trope, and maybe also explains why Max leaves after the end : despite his good will and finding his voice back with the team, he is still a cause of destruction.
now THIS is what equality looks like, don't show "men bad, women good" or "men strong, women weak", instead, show bonds between men and women outside of romance, show that we depends on one another and that we need each other in order to have hope
yes, I don't think men and women can ever be truly equal. We are so vastly different, we're so good at different things and bad at others. We need one another
@@bomapdich More like the word 'equal' is based on an understanding that we are different. Things can only be equal only when they are not the same. Overcoming that difference is the beauty of equality
I'm such a sucker for platonic relationships between men and women in films. It's so hardly ever utilized, but almost always so powerful when done well.
This video really helps me put to words all the ways Furiosa just didn’t live up to Fury Road as a movie. I know a lot of people have said they liked it but to me it just doesn’t feel like it carries the same ideas forward or even expands on them in a meaningful way.
Furiosa makes Fury Road all the more impactful. Watching Fury Road alone is like watching Return of the King without benefit of the first two films in that trilogy.
@@morganbrown392 Do you think Furiosa and Jack were romantic? Im not sure how to take the scene where they clutch each other's heads. Since that is done platonically in her culture.
I always got the impression that Splendid slipped on the blood from when Max shot her, and after that Max truly wanted to make sure the rest made it out safely. Whether it was guilt, a reminder of the others he’s lost or seeing clearly his path to redemption, Max is definitely different after she goes under the wheels. Could be over analyzing. Great video and great movie!
Film is an artform, and every art form is a device, used to tell a story through its medium. Film being a visual and auditory experience, anyone who is disciplined in the craft should be able to tell you something through showing, and not telling, all though exposition is also a valuable tool if used correctly. My favorite example of everything ive just spoken about is once upon a time in america. Theres so many introspective moments, where seemingly nothing is happening. Shots drone on with morricones regretful and somber score, de niro giving one of his best, but subdued performances, only using his eyes to convey feeling. 10/10 recommend this film to everyone. Not just for the performances and score, but the pacing, editing, themes, symbolism, etc...
This was a really good analysis of both Fury Road and how subtext can add more weight to a scene than dialogue. If you keep making videos like this you'll be one of the biggest film analysts on UA-cam.
I feel so sad, that people do not like furiosa. We won't be getting another mad max movie if it fails. I truly wish we had more desert movies like this.
I think the way forward isn't a feature film but a T.V. show. Retelling it from Mad Max 1 would be the smart play and expand on it. Call it Maintain Right.
@@afroahmed3989 I don't think that's what Furiosa was going for. There was a man in that movie who took her up and mentored her when he quite literally could have left her in the desert. And she grew to love him.
I rewatched madmax2 not long ago and I realised how well the characters were written in very few shots and fewer words... each second has its purpose...
@jonsimpson6240 Actually, I was a bit underwhelmed by the scene in the movie Dune because it's much more captivating in the book. There was an opportunity to create an epic scene with the panoramic shots that Villeneuve excels at, similar to the scene in Mad Max, but it was missed. The scene in Dune, not great, not terrible, just kinda "Mediocre!".
Great video as always! 🙌🏻 One of my favourite moments is when he gives her the gun after coming back. No need for words! Small error: When Max returns (with blood on him), he has killed the guys from the bullet farm - not war boys.
The funny part is that the movie really didn’t have a script. It had the lines needed to get the story across but the rest was partially up to the cast at the specific time.
Beautifully done video! I can’t even express why, but the way you illuminate these concepts from this amazing movie brought tears to my eyes more than once!
Wow, it's almost as if Film is a . . . A visual medium! I'm being snarky, but you made a good video and it's baffling how many people seem to forget that simple fact.
Wow great video! I absolutely loved this film, it was amazing! From the focus on high quality sounds and music that drove the scenes to the dialogue or lack there of. I just was interested in it initially because I was liking a lot of Tom Hardy movies but I was absolutely blown away. Definitely one of my favorites if not my all time favorite!
When you put in details like this it rewards viewers who pay attention, while letting the more obvious beats and dialogue appeal to a general audience. That creates a lot of layers to the film, and makes it great for rewatching.
You made this video with the same principle as the movie you're covering. Not a moment wasted. The whole thing was fun and interesting to watch. Kickass job, man. Can't wait to see what you cover next.
I can't describe what about the editing and presentation of this video speaks to me so much, but it's genuinely outstanding. You completely reframed the way I saw this film in just about 12 minutes. Excellent work!
When I watched the movie I felt that there is more to it than I could initially notice on the first watch but I wasn't able to recognise all the subtleties. Thanks for the video! Videos like these really help to better understand movies
One more thing to emphasize Furiosa and Max beginning to bond together and use teamwork, the epic soundtrack in the scene where they are fighting off the bikers is called... "Brothers in Arms" Because thats what they are now. They are Brothers in Arms.
Your video moved me to tears, which sounds weird, but Mad Max is me and my husband's bonding movie. Before we were even married, he started taking me on movie dates to the theater but would never tell me details about what we were seeing, not even the title. I don't keep up with what's coming out, so it was always exciting going in completely in the dark. Anyway, Mad Max was the second movie he took me to see in that way, (Baby Driver being the first [which I won't even talk about how emotionally effected I am by that movie]) We fell in love with this film, and saw it three more times in theater, taking friends with us the third time! Thanks for your thoughtful commentary. You inspired a newfound love for this story in me! Subscribing. Also, I don't think you are reaching when you assume that the blood and mothers milk moment is symbolic.
9:27 This scene was more meaningful than I realized, Max's wounded hand helping Furiousa's prosthetic arm. Each of them have flaws individually, but together they could overcome the obstacle
Love this video and the break down of what i call "the invisable factor". A aspect of a film that makes a good film a great film with out being having a sign pointing at it. For me Alien has this with the opening, a slow build up of just the crew and the ship, nothing is happening for a long time in the film. The Thing does this as well long sequnces that the films world just exsits until the inciting incident happens. I used to thing that this was a feature of older films and story telling but i am so please that it happened again with Fury Road. I believe that while there will still be slop being made year after year, the fact the Fury Road was created well outside the era that people say was the best cinema, that somthing new and good will continu to be created.
This video was so incredibly well done! I actually remember wondering, after I left the theater, why I liked this movie so much even though it was primarily action and violence shots. I'm really a story guy and most action movies today just feel like thrill rides but I knew this one was different and I couldn't put my finger on why… You really captured it!
love to hear your take on prometheus involving the black goo/blood of the engineers and the white blood of the androids. that move was so full of symbolism and ive never seen anyone analzye it.
I have watched Mad Max: Fury Road in so many different situations. I have watched it at home, in a theater, on a plane, in black and white, AND while at a bar with a band playing while it was muted on a random tv. Every time, every different version, every different way of watching it it was a masterpiece.
I haven't seen a film analysis on Fury Road that has made me question how I myself viewed the film quite like this one. Your eye for symbolism is very impressive
I just realized how much depther there is to the movie. I'm glad Fury Road is still being discussed after almost a decade. Truly a piece of work. This movie is top 10 for me
Really well done video man, video essays on movies to me is an over saturated experience but your video was clean and to the point, keep up the great work!
Le Dernier Combat is a movie by Luc Besson, set in a post-apocalyptic world, which contains only two words of dialogue. It depicts a world where people have been rendered mute by some unknown incident. Higly recommended! :)
I noticed very cool little detail. First, there is a bag full of guns and bullets ("seeds of death"). It helps them to run away. But then they decide to go back the bag changed it content. Now its full of seeds. Not sure if its the same bag, but still.
This was such a good movie. Not PG-13, so visually interesting with its color pallet and stunts, doesn’t heavily rely on dialogue/ exposition, fun throughout.
There's even some narrative storytelling within the actual choreography of specific characters. Like how Max and Furiosa are opposites - he's impulsive, she's meticulous. He shoots from the hip and hits every time, but misses when he has to aim and shoot. Furiosa misses when shooting from the hip, but hits her mark every time she stops to aim. They cover each others weaknesses.
Wow. Great analysis. I own this movie on Bluray and have watched it probably 20 times, last probably a month or two ago. I think I'll watch it again tonight because of this because I think it might be enhanced. Here's a like and subscribe.
Love your work. And strongly disagree with max being only slightly affected at 10:00 or the seed of empathy being planted 10:25 . His main struggle is one against the overwhelming guilt and empathy he feels - the movie opens on this contrast between these inner demons and the hard outer shell that he's constructed to keep them contained. Other than that - thank you for this thought-provoking piece!
Angharad's death and Max's subsequent reaction always stands out to me because Max is, inadvertently, responsible for her death and I think he knows it. There's a reason that shot hitting her leg was given so much emphasis. Yes, the door breaks off, but only after she slips in the blood from the leg wound.
Love the video. This is something everyone involved in making film and series today should study. DON'T MAKE THEM TALK. This unfortunately counts also for Furiosa.
On a recent flight to Iceland I forgot my headphones and did not want to pay for them. I deliberately chose this film to watch because I knew I could follow the plot without sound. -
Hermano! Te sigo desde hace tiempo en tu canal elCarbon, y es increíble lo que has progresado, tus análisis son siempre garantía de calidad, gracias por sumar a nuestro aprecio por está obra de arte que es Fury Road
Something amazing I noticed was when the leader of the bullet farm goes blind and wears a blindfold to cover his severe eyes. He starts shouting he is justice and starts shooting randomly. I feel that scene symbolizes that justice is blind, and he will punish Furiosa and Max for what they did. Plus it looked badass as hell
I don't think too much or too little dialogue makes or breaks or movie. The hateful eight was absolutely brilliant for example. It's just a case of whether or not you can pull off whatever you're doing
Mr. Robot s4 e5 is my favorite example of this. The entire 45 minute episode has 2 lines of dialogue that come at the very beginning and end. Upon first watching it was so well done I didn't even notice for the first 20 minutes.
What is your favorite action movie?
Die hard 3
this! and Aliens!

Probably furiosa
One further possible detail of Max and Furiosa's bond is when he tells Furiosa that Angharad went under the wheels. I've always thought that the look he gives her combined with what he said was him subtly telling Furiosa "It doesn't matter if she's alive or dead. We can't stop to get her." And Furiosa understands because she too knows that if they go back for her, Joe will catch them and it'd all be for nothing.
Yes, also proves how good of an actor Tom Hardy is, he communicated it with just a side glance and a change in tone of his voice
She doesn’t actually go under the wheels in the scene, he 100% just said that to so the other wives stop demanding they go back.
@hoffjdod3276 yeah, but the rest of the truck fell on her. She wouldn't have survived regardless
absolutely. she wouldn't have had the belly if she really went under the wheels.
Yup. Definitely more a testament to George Miller though, as I hear that the actors flew pretty blind on most of the scenes. With very little context.
Never noticed the parallels between milk/breastfeeding and blood/ transfusions until you pointed it out. Damn good video.
Those are the raw resources at there disposal
yeah it's honestly a really interesting part of the story. I never really thought about it.
I remember Mark from Fatman on Batman pointing this out - such a good catch

Also, I don't think you are reaching when you assume that the blood and mothers milk moment is symbolic.
9:27 This scene was more meaningful than I realized, Max's wounded hand helping Furiousa's prosthetic arm. Each of them have flaws individually, but together they could overcome the obstacle
Love this video and the break down of what i call "the invisable factor". A aspect of a film that makes a good film a great film with out being having a sign pointing at it. For me Alien has this with the opening, a slow build up of just the crew and the ship, nothing is happening for a long time in the film. The Thing does this as well long sequnces that the films world just exsits until the inciting incident happens. I used to thing that this was a feature of older films and story telling but i am so please that it happened again with Fury Road. I believe that while there will still be slop being made year after year, the fact the Fury Road was created well outside the era that people say was the best cinema, that somthing new and good will continu to be created.
This video was so incredibly well done! I actually remember wondering, after I left the theater, why I liked this movie so much even though it was primarily action and violence shots. I'm really a story guy and most action movies today just feel like thrill rides but I knew this one was different and I couldn't put my finger on why… You really captured it!
Thank you so much
Holy crap, I enjoyed the hidden layer of depth you went into for this film which makes it even better.
Another great video and one of my favorite films, liked and subscribed, great job
Behind the first terminator, this is the best action movie ever.
God, the canyon chase segment is easily my favorite movie scene ever. Absolute wall to wall adrenaline, the visuals, the music, it’s just so good.
love to hear your take on prometheus involving the black goo/blood of the engineers and the white blood of the androids.
that move was so full of symbolism and ive never seen anyone analzye it.
Wow nice video! you should make another one video from the prequel movie
Really great study on this film’s flawless use of the “show don’t tell” rule, good job!
I have watched Mad Max: Fury Road in so many different situations. I have watched it at home, in a theater, on a plane, in black and white, AND while at a bar with a band playing while it was muted on a random tv. Every time, every different version, every different way of watching it it was a masterpiece.
I haven't seen a film analysis on Fury Road that has made me question how I myself viewed the film quite like this one. Your eye for symbolism is very impressive
I just realized how much depther there is to the movie. I'm glad Fury Road is still being discussed after almost a decade. Truly a piece of work. This movie is top 10 for me
Really well done video man, video essays on movies to me is an over saturated experience but your video was clean and to the point, keep up the great work!
I just rewatched this last night.. It was like watching it for the first time I was glued to the screen.
This video is so good. Thank you
I started watching this video like 10 minutes ago, hit refresh, and the view count jumped up like 30k. congrats on the viral video
Le Dernier Combat is a movie by Luc Besson, set in a post-apocalyptic world, which contains only two words of dialogue. It depicts a world where people have been rendered mute by some unknown incident. Higly recommended! :)
thats why i luv the visual medium, you dont need anything else besides visuals and audio when done right.
I noticed very cool little detail. First, there is a bag full of guns and bullets ("seeds of death"). It helps them to run away. But then they decide to go back the bag changed it content. Now its full of seeds. Not sure if its the same bag, but still.
Love me some George Miller - great breakdown dude!
Thanks bro! I truly appreciate those words coming from someone with such high-quality content like yours
STRAIGHT UP FIRE, INSIGHTFUL AND WELL PUT TOGETHER! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THIS!
Oh hey, another reason to rewatch Fury road. Thank you for that. That sort of thing is always welcome.
This was such a good movie. Not PG-13, so visually interesting with its color pallet and stunts, doesn’t heavily rely on dialogue/ exposition, fun throughout.
What a great analysis. Loads of details I missed but my brain didn't, because the film felt so immersive and convincing.
I don't know how you do it, but my brain loves everything about this video
Amazing! I wonder what your take on Furiosa is (the movie), as it too had a ton of unspoken communication
This was excellent analysis, and really gave words to a lot of things I felt watching the movie. Really wonderful job, homie. Thanks for making this!
There's even some narrative storytelling within the actual choreography of specific characters. Like how Max and Furiosa are opposites - he's impulsive, she's meticulous. He shoots from the hip and hits every time, but misses when he has to aim and shoot. Furiosa misses when shooting from the hip, but hits her mark every time she stops to aim. They cover each others weaknesses.
Wow. Great analysis. I own this movie on Bluray and have watched it probably 20 times, last probably a month or two ago. I think I'll watch it again tonight because of this because I think it might be enhanced. Here's a like and subscribe.
Love your work. And strongly disagree with max being only slightly affected at 10:00 or the seed of empathy being planted 10:25 . His main struggle is one against the overwhelming guilt and empathy he feels - the movie opens on this contrast between these inner demons and the hard outer shell that he's constructed to keep them contained. Other than that - thank you for this thought-provoking piece!
Angharad's death and Max's subsequent reaction always stands out to me because Max is, inadvertently, responsible for her death and I think he knows it. There's a reason that shot hitting her leg was given so much emphasis. Yes, the door breaks off, but only after she slips in the blood from the leg wound.
Both this video and film being studied are easily one of the best ever made
Thank you
Great content and production value. Subbed.
Max regaining his humanity and his name. Didn’t notice this, but what a cool detail.
Love the video. This is something everyone involved in making film and series today should study. DON'T MAKE THEM TALK. This unfortunately counts also for Furiosa.
I genuinely enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it.
These are my type of movies, when action speaks louder than words
Holy crap. This was so well done, I got chills a couple times. Great job!
thank you :) glad you enjoyed it
On a recent flight to Iceland I forgot my headphones and did not want to pay for them. I deliberately chose this film to watch because I knew I could follow the plot without sound.

You make movies look really good mate
This was really dope. Thoughts on John Wick as a film lacking dialogue?
Dude . Love your breakdowns. Subbed.
I feel like this film uses the essence of film making of showing and not telling to its fullest which is why its such a good *film*
Hermano! Te sigo desde hace tiempo en tu canal elCarbon, y es increíble lo que has progresado, tus análisis son siempre garantía de calidad, gracias por sumar a nuestro aprecio por está obra de arte que es Fury Road
Amazing job with this video. I’ll definitely be staying tuned for future content from this channel.
Something i noticed was that for the entire fight, when they first met, Max never actually tried to kill any of them
Just watched Furiosa and loved it! Fury Road is my favorite action film and Furiosa was an incredible precursor!
Something amazing I noticed was when the leader of the bullet farm goes blind and wears a blindfold to cover his severe eyes. He starts shouting he is justice and starts shooting randomly. I feel that scene symbolizes that justice is blind, and he will punish Furiosa and Max for what they did. Plus it looked badass as hell
I love this film! Great storytelling. Thank you for your video essay.
I don't think too much or too little dialogue makes or breaks or movie. The hateful eight was absolutely brilliant for example. It's just a case of whether or not you can pull off whatever you're doing
Mr. Robot s4 e5 is my favorite example of this. The entire 45 minute episode has 2 lines of dialogue that come at the very beginning and end. Upon first watching it was so well done I didn't even notice for the first 20 minutes.
I can see some CinemaStix inspiration here, excited to see where this goes.
