my favorite thing about this is that each of them is walking in a different direction, it’s like these girls are off to conquer the entire goddamn world
They’re gonna meet in the middle
In the middle they will find the avatar, master of all elements and the force:
all the reviews for atomic blonde are like “its an empty aesthetic film where charlize theron just dresses up in nice clothes, kicks the shit out of dudes, and has random sex scenes with women” as if that wasn’t my dream action movie
let charlize beat men up and bang ladies in the year of our lord 2k17
One of the things about Furiosa that I appreciate is she is never super nice and sweet and squishy inside to “make up” for her rough exterior. Yes, we see her in tender and vulnerable moments, especially with the Vuvalini, but she never does that thing that is often done with rough/hard/brutal characters (especially female characters), where we see them secretly being all warm and fuzzy because they’ve just put up a front to protect themselves. Furiosa has been hardened and burned in the fires and horrors of the wasteland, but she has become strong and tough throughout. Her survival instincts and strength don’t exist only to protect some squishy interior, they are who she is to her core.
It’s interesting you know, doing these press junkets and having people come up to you and say ‘Ah, strong women, strong women!’. It’s like, no, we’re just actually women in this movie. We had a filmmaker that understood that the truth is women are powerful enough, and that we don’t wanna be put on pedestals or be made super unnaturally strong and capable of doing things we are not capable of doing, but what we are capable of doing is really interesting.
yeah, this is like how people are calling the movie “feminist” when I call it “the bare goddamn minimum”
we shouldn’t have to be making a huge deal about Strong Women like portraying women as capable and interesting is so fucking strange and yet here we are
