@@tundrabanks3647 Makes you wonder if this post-apocalyptic world either practices genital mutilation often or if some kind of disease/ritual/torture/forced castration for eugenics purposes or something takes place a lot in the wasteland. If "genitals intact" is important enough to tattoo on someone's back, it has to be somewhat common to see "unintact genitals". God, this universe is so captivating.

Yeah, it is beautiful. We don't think about it much, or try not to, but on a miniature scale within lifetimes the world is created, experienced, and then lost. We're born into it, this is our world, and by the time we leave it the best we can do is just hope that what we leave behind will keep the world going. Every single living thing puts its all into its offspring in the exact same manner before their time comes to a close and they are lost to the world for good. It's amazing, beautiful, a touch sad.

It doesn’t have to be Christian. These stories, myths, and archetypes have permeated human culture long before Christianity or even Abrahamic faiths in general. It’s arguable that a large amount of these myths are so ancient that they have essentially become basic psychological building blocks of humanity’s understanding and relationship with their own lives.

My father raised me on mad max. He passed not long after Fury Road dropped and I’ll always remember his answer when my mother asked why didn’t Max stay at the citadel? or why did he help people when his only interest was initially his own survival? His response sticks with me, years later, and it sums up what Max is all about to me. “Max goes where he’s needed.” And that’s all he’s been from Road Warrior onward. The man with the skills you need at the time you need him.

His car provides his independence and bring forth his desire for solitude. Depriving him of it creates a necessity to interact with others and makes him immediately vulnerable. And right then and there you associate loss & concern for this character.

[@stevendurham9996]

@@shellymills8105 That's a great take, Shelly. I'd say spot on! I, just, like watching Mel kick ass with the blown V8. I think Max's losing His car in Fury Road, without the history of the car in the first two movies made it worse, for Me, in that regard. And turning Tom Hardy, one of the most bad-ass actors on earth: ("Lawless": Holy Shit, Batman!) into a bloodbag for The Toecutter, I mean (Guy with harem of earth goddesses), was indicative of a possible jealousy of stud-muffins on Miller's part. I bet Spielberg has these moments, every once in a while: "Damn that damnable Harrison, his charm, his rakish good looks, his Carpentry!" Just being silly.

[@shellymills8105]

Steven Durham Steven Durham nice! Love the carpentry ford pun ;) And yes I thought it was pretty interesting that within 2 minutes Max’s atypical co-star (his vehicle) was dragged away without much fuss and without much backstory on it. But then again miller steered away from his atypical everyone is aware of any schemes with joe’s crew helping furiousa in the beginning for quite a bit withOUT knowing what’s really going on with her endgame/ulterior motives. So yeah. He reinvigorated a lot of his normal tricks with a new twist but still kept this primal almost Nordic/Viking/warrior feel to the lesser males which was cool, them being the less informed rather than the ladies (again going against the grain) I’ll bet Spielberg and John Carpenter and even like Tim Burton talk about their “boy” lmao Tim - Dang how does Jonny make moody seem sincere and not emo?

@@shellymills8105 I used to know a gal who knew Spielberg and Harrison. I did some Carpentry for her. She was very appreciative of the work I did (She took Me out to dinner: really nice lady). When I mentioned that Harrison is a carpenter, She said: "A great carpenter, " if memory serves. So, my Spielberg line was based on research in the field: a Mexican restaurant in Toluca Lake, to be precise. Ahh: Margaritas and tequila shots, and completely above board and fun. A memory that makes me smile. She introduced Me to Steve Earle, too, on the Copperhead Road tour, quite a thrill for a young musician and actor. P.S.: Further silliness: I think the best person to narrate this answer is Humphrey Bogart, from The Maltese Falcon: "As for the Dame, I haven't seen Her since. I heard she got a big-time Producer job, working for the Mouse. None of My business, right now, but when the fanboys get their boy panties in a wad, I think about those Margaritas, and tell those punks that Lucas screwed up the writing in the first movie, and it's been action figures, ever since. " All The Best. PPS: I agree with Your assessment: Kurt Russell IS a Badass, forever, and, I might add, his wife, Goldie, is the cutest girl on planet earth: her daughter is pretty darned adorable, also. Meg Ryan gave it a darned good try, but she didn't have the stamina: Kurt and Goldie are, both, battle-scarred veterans in the war against the dumb.

[@IDHLEB]

Now that's how you write a strong female protagonist without unnecessary pandering.

[@kingcrimson4117]

Protagonist means main character max is the protagonist

[@maxwellschmidt235]

@Ben A did you even see the movies? Max is a character who wanders into other people's stories, playing a minor role in the history of post-historical australia. In a way, this was the most heroic portrayal of his character in the series.

[@maxwellschmidt235]

@Ben A go rewatch them all. First one is the only one that told the story of Max descending along with society around him. You're being willfully obtuse if you think Max is any less a main character in Fury Road than in Thunderdome or Road Warrior.

[@maxwellschmidt235]

@Ben A you have proven nothing. If this is how you write your essays, you'll never graduate from eighth grade. You keep saying he was reduced, while the rest of us see him playing all the key symbolic roles, and probably having more agency in the result of the film than in any previous installment. In the original, he gets revenge, but the point is that he is reduced to an animal reacting to stimuli. By the time of Thunderdome, Tina Turner is playing him like a fiddle- to the point that the film is bookended by her singing "we don't need another hero", implying just how little he actually accomplishes in the span of the movie. We don't need a whole lot of exposition on Max's character. We needed to get to know Furiosa so that we could understand her importance to the story that Max had wandered into. It doesn't diminish Max to introduce a new character to whom he must impart the wisdom accumulated by decades of wandering the deserts. From the start, the Mad Max franchise has been about a roaming anti-hero surviving a world of toxic masculinity even as the world beats him down to its level. But even more, it's about that world struggling to advance by regaining balance between masulinity and femininity.

[@maxwellschmidt235]

@Ben A literally all you've referenced is your own point of view, so the existence of the greatest Mad Max movie is itself an ad hominem attack on you. And now you are committing the logical fallacy of assuming that an argument is wrong because it contains a fallacy. You still have not said anything of value towards your viewpoint.

Thay was great! All I can interpret, was that each of the war lords kind of represent the four horseman of the apocalypse, Immortan Joe is the disease apocalypse which explains his illness along with his children and his followers. The Fat one in charge of the Gas town represents the Famine and starvation, given that he is extremly fat means he hogs all the food and ration everyone else into starvation. So the leader of the Bullet farm is fire and destruction because he creates weapons.

The car is a symbol for the body, in the beginning the ego is driving the car with Christ strapped on to the front, reduced to a pretty face. Love your videos btw :)

[@youthnation1]

Ouch! How often that is the case. Thank you. :)

[@Tullerman]

:)

[@renel8964]

but why male models?

[@youthnation1]

I'm not following... Male models?

[@raphaeltrumpetsound835]

Matthew Scott Miller A reference to Zoolander. I don't get it either...reference humor is extremely hit or miss. I laughed only cause of my recollection of Derek Z's delivery of the question.

[@DocFeelGood4]

Rene Lopez those who lack the ability to acknowledge your greatness are at a loss.

[@FullTonMedia]

In Zoolander, Derek is talking to the villain, who has just finished an in-depth explanation of his scheme. Derek, the listener, is of course too dumb to understand a word he's saying, and simply repeats his question. This is symbolic of both the commenter's awe at your analytical skills, and their feeling that either they or others will not understand it. I think.

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

Full Ton Films it wasn't the villan. It was a former victim who escaped servitude to the evil fashion industry, who was explaining the whole evil plan.

A 10/10 analysis of one of my all time favorite movies. You deserve way more subs my friend. This is the finest action movie ever made. It's as close to perfect as any movie is gonna get. Hardy turned in one of my favorite performances ever not in spite of the lack of dialogue, but because of it.

[@zeksdeks9443]

Watched 3 of you uploads: Mad Max, Ex Machina and the one for Arrival. Thank you for your work. Subscribed.

[@ahmadsyed9714]

and here I was "ah yes car go vroom gun go boom"

[@tomashize]

this is a slice of the very best of KZbin. Superb bit of work!

[@calibrepersonaldevelopment]

Jihad is what Furiosa is doing, it means 'struggle' and I too have to do the same against injustice. I fled my ex across the Saudi desert with our daughters, I AM her, she is me.

[@SSky06]

Hey, I read this and wanted to say, from all the way on the other side of the world, congrats and I hope you're still safe and free out there.

[@videogamecin]

Jihad is what god/prophet Immortan Joe and his worshippers are doing (“I am your Redeemer! It is by my hand you will rise from the ashes of this world.”), conquering concubines and war booty to earn eternal Valhalla(paradise), dying as martyrs in battle and shouting WITNESS (shahada). Furiosa and the slavegirls and Max are unbelievers(kuffar) running from Joeʼs jihadi persecution and inquisition. Nux is an apostate(murtad) who joins the fugitives

[@Menyo]

You deserve more subs! These video's are great.

[@youthnation1]

Thanks! Please spread the word.

[@danielstreuli7563]

Dude,thank you for making my one of my favourite films even better. Amazing video.

[@matthew-jy5jp]

I love this channel Matt. Please make some more videos soon. Happy new year

[@bobpolo2964]

Where are your subscribers!!!

[@vazilin4ik]

well hes got +1 in the face of me

[@bray0427]

In canada

[@Whaddayamean13]

The real genius of this film was its incredible world building without talking down to you through cringey exposition. We know everything about the world and the main characters through plot and action alone. The dialogue is just the icing on the cake, and still there’s quite a handful of memorable lines and conversations. It’s what drives me crazy about Nolan-he can’t seem to communicate anything without dialogue

[@RohitPant04]

The youth today can learn so much from this movie! The relationships and the spirits of the charecters have so much to give!

[@andresfelipeod6819]

one theory : this Max, is the Feral Kid from the 2nd movie, he takes the name of his Role adult model many years ago.

[@kairyan1016]

Dude I was so unprepared for Max and Nux's mother but man is it my new favorite way to watch this film

[@jaanc8047]

After watching your decoding of the symbols, my instant reaction is, Jesus Christ!

[@youthnation1]

lol!

[@chucklehead2000]

Instant sub. I wrote my thesis on the Feral Kid. You know your shiz, My dude.

[@turtlesinthesky5480]

These videos are great! Your channel deserves a lot more exposure!

[@youthnation1]

Thanks! Spread the word.

[@SoUncivilized414]

Just discovered your channel. And what an introduction.

[@guillemiami]

Best analysis ever on FR.

[@Iambored-yay]

Why can’t I put two and two together like this video? What you’ve described here makes complete sense.

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Rudolph Cunningham 🤣 no, it’s just a millennial who likes the sound of his own voice ! It has no deep meaning, it’s just a fun movie

[@xyaeiounn]

My favorite part of all four films is where the hunted man finds a reason to turn around and go straight through the barbarians. He just finds deeper and broader reasons with each story; vengeance, survival, social change and finally transcendental values in this final epic.

[@eldergroan]

OMG this adds a ton of depth to an already amazing film!

[@The_truth_is_in_the_dream]

This movie analysis just earned yourself a subscriber. Wonderful content .

[@PigMan161]

This was such a fast pace and great analysis. My god what a great video

[@mikevanroy9356]

I hope George Miller sees this and says "No, that's not what I meant at all. I just wanted a kickass movie with engines, explosions and music."

[@koammudo43]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Cleapatr]

You should do The Shape of water... it's full of Greek mythology references

[@Ladyday8508]

I already love the movie. And your analysis made me love it more. Great video, so insightful!

[@youthnation1]

Thanks, Shayne! I loved it too. Watched it a half dozen times before I started pulling on a few symbolic threads in the film. I was just as surprised by what I found. :)

[@wadeguidry6675]

Me too!

[@deathtomichaelknagge4397]

Mind blown. Subscribed. This logos movement is going to change the world. 500k views. I had no idea

[@pedromarymichelparks5345]

Wow... Another EXCELLENT analysis... Very interesting!

[@blangblang3hunna591]

Wow !! that was an incredible breakdown of a perfect movie; well done!!!

[@youthnation1]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cresTXTreme]

You are good with the knowledge and comprehension.You can make your video more interesting with some added visuals of the historical references as well as better narration with some catchy voice and certainly increase your timestamp coz i wanted to just be with your video atleast more than 10 mins coz it was so interesting.Not many people do this awesome kind of work so if you can step up a bit then you would be having millions of views.

[@TenThumbsProductions]

Epic video. A question for you Made Flesh, you say it is the apocalypse and point out all these connection to the Bible. Are movies like this written with that much intention? Are all these things by designs or se they things you see in the movie?

[@GordonGartrell27]

TenThumbs Productions My thoughts on your question: I think some films definitely are meant to have the parallels and symbolism, but of those that don’t but still have Gospel/biblical elements, I believe it’s because any attempt to tell truth in story (even if done distortedly) is a participation in/echoing of the Truth even if the storyteller doesn’t know.

[@saltydog9321]

i think it's just that there's a few archetypal stories, there's only a few real stories, that go way back, so you can probably work them into an interpretation of almost any other stories. Like the hero's journey. something like that, to put it very simply

[@joeplavin]

@@saltydog9321 agree with that. Also because the bible has been thought on for millennia, people have come up with enough interpretations of it to fit any narrative.

[@jaywils1078]

Bro just said max “filled furiosa” without cracking up

[@diverbrent]

wow, that was a great review! Thanks for this post!

[@Stephen7764.]

And there was I thinking I couldn't like this movie more.

[@joshjohnson3347]

"Shlanger" seems like a play on the German word for snake, "Schlange".

[@youthnation1]

Indeed it does! :)

[@Tsuuuuper]

Schlong??

[@dannylerch]

Schlanger is an Australian slang term for dick

[@hopeseekr]

ALL OF YOU VIDEOS ARE AMAZING!!!!

[@youthnation1]

Thank you, hopeseekr!

[@oldschooltakingyaback]

Brings me to tears every time I see this... One of the greatest summations of a movie ever produced.

[@loganzacharydonald]

Well done man, well done. This is one of my favorite films. I love your interpretation and how you support it with text.
