Furiosa's past and present

After the second brush, I still couldn't bear the excitement and wrote the first film review in my life.

There have been a lot of professional opinions published on the context and overall evaluation of the film. I just want to talk about the role of Furiosa.

Furiosa in the film is bold, resolute, and persistent. As the only female imperator under Immortan Joe's, she can drive the War rig to help old Joe grab oil, which shows that she is very respected. But what we are discussing is not the equal society as it is now, but a doomsday wasteland where a woman is seriously materialized for the purpose of giving birth. How Furiosa achieved this status is actually a process of very careful thought and fear.

We know that she and her mother were stolen from the green space since she was a child, and her mother died on the third day. I am afraid she was tortured and abused to death. Furiosa may be left with her life because of her young age (in order to keep her childbearing years?) Until Max arrives, she can only struggle to live in this weak and predatory society, and the loss of her left hand is probably the smallest price she has to pay. As a woman, she is still a pretty woman. She has not been reduced to the fertility machine of old Joe. I am afraid that she has already lost her fertility. Not to mention the difficulties that everyone can imagine, there will be many sufferings. Presumably this is why she has to give everything and save a few girls.

In the rare love scenes, Max asked her why she did this, and Furiosa replied for redemption. That's right, she has gone through the cycle of killing and being killed, tortured and tortured over the years, and her hands were forced to be covered with blood. Her only purpose was to survive, and to climb to the apex of power could she go home. When Max first subdued Furiosa, he shot and warned her around the head a few times, and did not choose to kill her. Because Max still has options. And Furiosa probably doesn't even have the right to choose, and is forced to do things that violate the rules every day, kill and kill, and wear a cold-blooded mask to survive. It's not difficult to be a bad person, but it is difficult to pretend to be a bad person for a lifetime if you are a good person.

In the final decisive battle, Furiosa held the heart of dying together and shouted angrily to old Joe: Remember me! This is her total catharsis of more than 7,000 days of pain and torture. This is the real God of War Furiosa! !
