Sometimes, protecting one’s humanity is a much more fierce battle than fighting against a horde of savages. That’s what the story of Furiosa is about: resilience. You may have heard the phrase that we often carry the roots we are born with, and Furiosa is a living example of that gospel. Her birthplace, The Green Earth, a paradise amidst the wasteland, is a beacon of hope in itself. Unfortunately, it was plundered by the invasive snakes of Dementus. Yes, the entire opening scene of the film was nothing short of biblical. But, in a way, it defined Furiosa’s character as well. A weak Furiosa standing tall amid the savages and having a light of her own reflects her internal battle to not end up becoming like Dementus someday.
