Max's face whe he was playing the music box: a smile - a glimp of nostalgia and memories of happiness which gradually is turning into horror and trauma. Not a single word, or visual flashback used. A subtle scene like this puts this version of Mad Max above and ahead of any other versions.

Exactly. Everyone remembers the tanker chase near the end and the other action scenes, but it's the haunting quality of it that puts it above the rest. The quiet moments are as brilliant and as important as the loud ones.

Seeing the new "Mad Max" Furiosa saddens me because it had tons of narration and zero subtlety. Fury Road and Road Warrior are the best because they like to show, not tell. Too bad Miller is neither willing or able to make one last epic Max adventure with Gibson to give the character a much deserved ending.
