Women in Mad Max

The action scenes and rhythms have been praised by everyone, so let me say something else. This may be the best portrayal of female characters in all movies of the same type, with flesh and blood, sentiment and righteousness. George Miller's three views are too right. The group of girls headed by Angharad first appeared as an accessory to Immortan Joe. Provide breastfeeding and fertility. Male chauvinism in typical primitive society and feudal society. You see when they first appeared collectively, they were in good shape and some were pregnant, a direct manifestation of femininity. And Furiosa is a general, a female King Kong, which is almost indistinguishable among a group of men. Furiosa defected to go home. And the Angharad's defection was a struggle against individual slavery and an awakening of the self. Angharad was the first to persuade other women to escape. On the way, she protected Max with her body so that she sacrificed herself. Cheedo once wanted to give up after Angharad's death, saying "He will forgive us, and we can be his good girl again." Losing the spiritual leader and leader, there are reluctances and repetitions, but in the end it has persisted. The red-haired Capable is tender, lying down side by side and quietly listening to the heart of a War boy. She can make a War Boy, who is covered with fever and red blood, change his mind. Dag pretended to be attached in the return battle, but actually tried to stop Joe. Courage and strategy are extraordinary. Those old mothers, like the young Furiosa, are unfortunately forced into bloodthirsty fights and murders. But those boxes that hold seeds still allow green and life to continue. So you see, in a movie where the whole film relies on action scenes to drive the plot and has very few lines, it is full of fanatical, bloodthirsty men, and a movie flooded with male hormones. These female characteristics: nurturing, delicate, tough, repetitive The sympathy is all manifested. It is so rare that it is not overwhelmed by the dizzying action scenes, the steampunk scenes and the full-screen violence of ghosts and animals.
