some random observations about Mad Max: Fury Road
- The People Eater’s missing nose could be a sign of syphilis (the guy is just riddled with symbolic diseases)
- The milking mothers either have some really creepy baby dolls they’re staring at to increase their milk production or like actual mummified babies. I assume babies they’ve lost? :(
- We never see where Toast got the music box from–it’s playing in the night scene with the Vuvalini and then she has it in the war rig on the drive back–so it could totally be something Max had and gave to her. Maybe as a goodbye? It’s probably just meant to be a general reference to the Road Warrior, but I do love the idea that Max is either the feral boy from that movie or (since that doesn’t quite fit with the ending narration) maybe he’s someone who heard stories about Max Rockatansky from the Great Northern Tribe after he passed into myth.
- The blood transfusion kit Max has at the end isn’t the one that’s connecting him and Nux at the beginning. (Nux cuts the tube when he cuts the chain with the bolt cutters.) Instead, it’s a new one on the tactical vest Max picks up along with other supplies from the Bullet Farmer. That says to me that he made a conscious choice to pick it up and keep it on him in case someone got injured. Max was already ready to give blood midway through the movie and turn his universe donor status into a strength and a choice.
THat last one!
oh god but can you imagine that?
His rummaging through the things like, “Bullets. Bullets. Bullets, powder, guns? Guns! Wheel, gotta get the wheel. What else— boot, should take a boot.”
And then just this long long stare at the blood transfusion kit.
A flash of Glory, bleeding out in his arms. Where are you Max?
And then he stuffs it into his bag and tries not to think too hard.
