'Mad Max: Fury Road' was released in 2015, five years ago. As one of the representative works of "Wasteland" culture, the author believes that this is an excellent sequel that has successfully restarted the series. While staying at home, friends who haven't seen it can watch it, even those who have seen it. , I believe that there will definitely be new harvests if you watch it again. Today, I want to talk to you about an impressive character in the film and my favorite character - "War Boy".
The war boy is named Nax and is played by Nicholas Hoult. The first time I saw this boy with pale skin and withered face, I actually refused in my heart. As one of the many "War Boys" under "Undying Old Joe", he is very thin and morbid, and even needs our protagonist Max to be continuously transfused as an artificial blood bag to survive. However, when he learned that "Old Joe" was going to chase the defected Commander Ferrosa, he still insisted on taking the blood bag with him. At this time, he is still eager to enter the so-called "Hall of Heroes" through the glory of battle, and is also full of crazy worship of "Undead Old Joe".
During the battle with the protagonist and his party in the sandstorm, when he found that he was about to be unable to stop the armed car of Ferosa and his party from leaving, he even took the practice of filling the car with gasoline and killing himself. Although he was stopped by the protagonist at the last moment, the madness of his inner belief can still be seen.
But then in the conflict between the protagonists Max and Ferosa's first meeting, he played very well. Recognize the situation in a very short period of time, and finally reverse the situation in an instant by cooperating with his own "blood bag".
Then, after being knocked to the ground by the protagonist, he slumped to the back of the car before the car was about to drive away, and took the opportunity to get into the carriage and attacked Ferrosa and his party unexpectedly. When he met the "Old Joe" who was chasing after him, he still declared to Old Joe that he would subdue the protagonist for the favor of Old Joe, but the last blow would be left to "Old Joe" to complete. It can be seen that our "War Boy" is not simply a simple-minded killing machine, but will still have calm thinking and skilled combat skills in various situations.
And his emotional breakdown came from when he witnessed the protagonist's team crushing one of Old Joe's "mothers" - a pregnant girl, when he realized that he could no longer fulfill his original promise, he collapsed. When the other mother, who we call "the red-haired girl" for now, saw him, we learned that his pain came from two tumors the size of a baby's fist on the side of his neck. Each tumor has a name.
It was only then that I realized that the reason why I was so mad about entering the "Hall of Heroes" was to get rid of the pain of the body in reality and to long for another voice. After all, he was just a boy in his twenties, a The "charismatic boy" who could have had a splendid life with his brain, strength, driving skills, and even just his handsome face, became a "war boy" because of illness and Lao Qiao's bewitchment, and Lao Qiao's subordinates must still be there. There are hundreds of thousands of children like this who are still in trouble. Well back to our protagonist. Fortunately, the red-haired mother gave him the maternal care he had never had before, or touched the love that was sprouting in his heart, making it reborn a sense of life. It turns out that life does not gain value only when it bursts with fire and steel! He was reborn! After that, he first proposed with his keen observation that he successfully cooperated with the protagonist to pull the vehicle out of the quagmire by connecting the hinges to the big tree.
Then, he bravely increased the power of the car in pulses by means of artificial injection, and skillfully solved the problem of the engine stalling. It is no exaggeration to say that his role was not inferior to the protagonist's critical moments. to anyone!
In the end, he blocked the entrance to the canyon at the cost of his own life at the last moment, preventing the pursuers from behind. Just as he expected, life sublimated in the raging fire and steel fragments. Although he may not enter the "Hall of Heroes", he will definitely be imprinted in the hearts of the red-haired girls and the protagonists forever, as well as thousands of In the hearts of viewers like me! Longing for your next life to have no more pain, my "war boy"!
