Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome - Captain Walker (2/2) [HD]

[@Ward413]

Finding this exact plane while playing the Mad Max game was a really cool treat. They even nailed the placement of the sand hills against the fuselage.

He knows if at least one. Bartertown. That's the place he knows still exists and it's his utopia as ironic as that might be. He couldn't have lived if Bartertown wasn't real.

Wow, just realized that face painted guy was the first war-boy? Looks just like them. Also I like that Max realized that place was the best for all of them, even himself, he was ready to live out his life there, I bet he went back after the end of the movie.

[@Wayoutthere]

This scene always brakes my heart. Time to grow up and face what's left kiddo's.

[@bjscorpio4041]

I have a similar experience with Beyond Thunderdome and The Empire Strikes Back. Watching these movies as a kid the second acts in these movies (Yoda training Luke and Max with the children) were my least favourite parts but watching them both as an adult they have become my favourite parts of these movies.

[@fredo1070]

Maurice Jarre's music is incredible.

[@ncwordman]

The interesting thing about Max is he was never quite the hero. And maybe that's because it was impossible to be a hero. He couldn't fly those kids home on that plane. It's so tragic.

[@piirakkaliisa8340]

Max Rockatansky and Frank Castle are maybe two best characters in movies when it comes to this kind of a characters. They are just...humans :D

[@christopherfoote4643]

He kept stymying the villain who isn't quit the villain either. This movie definitely isn't what a typical Hollywood production is. He isn't a hero because he isn't sure where home is either. He knows that Bartertown isn't it but they need to find a hero.

[@TonesOverthinksIt]

There is something to be said for post apocalyptic societies, even with a total loss of technology and knowledge, humans always find a way to create both from what little remains. Think about it, we know these kids are descendants of passengers from a downed airliner, we know they crashed because of the nuclear holocaust, we know that the captain organized a rescue party to go find help and never returned, and so over time that story became their mythology and their enture culture is centered around it. They found meaning and purpose in life on the promise that soneone will come back and take them home, even if they don't know where or what home is.

[@oneproudbrowncoat]

We never know for sure that there was a nuclear conflict. There's just mentions that could be interpreted that way, but it's speculation.

[@TonesOverthinksIt]

@oneproudbrowncoat I think the literal drawing of a mushroom cloud makes it clear. Though popular Mad Max Lore suggests that nuclear war happened between Mad Max and Road Warrior. The fuel shortage coupled with environmental disasters led to a lot of nations collapsing into anarchy and the few remaining governments fighting over what oil remained until it erupted into a nuclear conflict.

It would be intriguing to know what happened to the other kids who were left behind? Did Savannah return for them ?

[@z00mer]

It’s pretty implied that they went back after flying through Sydney and then started repopulating. At least that’s how I always took it.

It was implied that the lights of Sydney were kept on so that one day that the other kids and maybe even Max would find their way “home”. To me that would mean that Savannah wouldn’t or couldn’t get back on that rickety little plane to go get them.

As a kid i always wondered how that kid with the makeup climbed all the way up to the tail of the plane

[@paulc1665]

Shimmied up, with an extra strong grip, as a best guess.

[@christopherfoote4643]

That's an Easter egg. That's another reason this is such a special movie. Not everything is explained. That's a part of the appeal but he was also a part of the salvage. Maybe he was the reason it took flight. This was an iconic movie that I think really delves into the depths of what is impossible. The airplane that takes them aloft was a salvage plane piloted by a scavenger that initially tried to kill Mel Gibson.

[@christopherfoote4643]

The movie it fantastical. It might be reality or maybe an illusion. I don't think you really understand it. It's possible Mel Gibson died. He wasn't supposed to live. He might be living in a Dreamland. Tomorrow Land? Isn't real. So why should anything else be real? It's like two completely different movies. I'm not sure there is a simple explanation but it was a great movie.

"What's the plan?" "Plan. Plan. There's no plan". I have always wondered about the line "We've got the wind up our arse Captain let's go". Was it in the script or was it an impro provoked by the moment and maybe some chill weather. The dialogue was apparently dubbed in Americanese for US audiences.

[@shan4680]

It feels like to me that maybe it was something the actual flight crew said as the plane was crashing after being hit by heavy turbulence and the kids kept the phrase alive in some form of oral tradition they handed down.

[@chrismsmalley2626]

I've been thinking of this? If these kids are Gen 2 and Gen 3 of the refugees that arrived there with Capt Walker? Someone had to have passed down the Tell of how airplane radios worked? How you call flight control or the tower for take off and landings etc. Or else where did the one kid with the Darth Vader chest piece and headset get the " Della Fox X-ray" bit? What was the rest of that info? And why isn't that remembered? Apparently they only do the Tell based on Television shortened because they can't read or write? Maybe a little but not enough to pass down information from generation to generation? I was just wondering what the flight call sign was for Capt Walkers plane? I'm sure it was a non authorized flight but then what was the planes tail numbers? Anybody have that info?

[@starkiller007]

Apparently Beyond Thunderdome takes place nearly 20 years after Road Warrior. Don't know how old Savannah and Slit/Slate are, but they look either 17, 18 or nineteen. Either way, they'd be the oldest. I think the Novelized version of BT is more detailed with this stuff.

[@Doggeslife]

Information gets lost over time. I'm retired, and I am amazed at how much common knowledge learned during my life is unknown today. Kinda sad actually.

[@kasegiyabu5030]

As humans can start breeding at 12/13-years-old, it's possible the youngest are third generation.

[@sandal_thong8631]

Someone was pretty lousy to leave all these kids alone and just go off into the desert (unless perhaps they knew they were dying like in _The Blue Lagoon?)_ But the parents couldn't stand being alone together in _Z for Zachariah_ (the book), so left their kid alone in the refuge. I just read that this part of the story was based on the books _The Lord of the Flies_ and _Riddley Walker._

[@chrismsmalley2626]

@@sandal_thong8631 before the crash landing Cap Walker probably ran out the fuel so the plane wouldn't explode in flames. He saw the oasis because he was below the cloud bank due to the bombs After the crash the adults led the children to the oasis. They salvaged what they could and planned on staying and living their lives out there. As supplies started to run out the adults decided to trek out into the Wasteland. They adults left but some adults had to stay behind ? Maybe they were hurt in the crash? The children learned the Tell and they were Gen 1s. Growing into their late teens and 20s they became pregnant with Gen 2s. Gen 1 taught Gen 2 the Tell, but in their own words? Roughly 25 years after the bombs fell Gen 2s gave birth to Gen 3. And they did the Tell but a lot of info was lost. This Gen 3 was had Savanna and Slate. Around 18 years later ( 40 years after the bombs fell) MM arrived at Barter Town, TD happened, spin the wheel led to Gulag Max was saved by scouts from the Oasis. But.... there is NO Way in Hell that scouts/scavengers etc didn't find the oasis in its 45 year existence? The Gens were children, couldn't defend themselves from scavengers, slavers, scouts etc in those 40 odd years? The Oasis is a Mulligan. The place or object that only exists to move the story forward, remove the kids in the oasis and have Max fall off the hinny near the oasis, recover, find food and weapons, prepare himself to go back to BT. The whole Capt Walker scene wasn't needed for BT to be a complete story. The narrator was doing the Tell way after BT happened. Was the Narrator Skrooloose? Or was the narrator, a Gen 4 child grown up and retelling the story to Gen 5 children? With Savanna being a Grandmother by the end of BT? It's a stretch but I had some freetime to brainwork this out, hope you don't think I've been slack??

[@webste03]

This scene is so powerful because it shatters the delusional concepts of modern religion. What if we had paradise and we ruined it? What if someone did come with the truth about the state if the world, but we already rejected his message because it didn't fit our subjective traditional narrative? There is no magical tomorrow land to fly to. He isn't G. L. Walker their savior. It's time to leave religion behind and grow up, which means coping with the state of the current world as it really is.

The interesting use of metaphor with teleplay has language used with the audience that depending on the cultural knowledge of word origin does the use have meaning. Knowledge and the audience has historical reference when entertainment and legal notices were involved with ticketing and consumer rights of investment that the audience has a choice with financial legal rights. Teleplay is one element of drama with the plot, stage scene and props, and thespian dramatic element. Orsen Wells an early pioneer of cinema was an author of historical anthology when dictionary and encyclopedia were involved with documentation as works citied that knowledge and audience could be involved. Library science in today's contemporary media is necessary with how the audience understands the message and communication intent. Royalty rights are a financial legal right that the use of property has confidential business information as inheritance and balance of debt repayment for costs involved with cinematography as recognized with copyright registration and the Motion Pictures Association of America. P.S. What did they serve on the flight as food? (Wind direction can be important depending on the context!)
