"Old" follower (double meaning) and deep appreciator of "Like Stories of Old" but "new" to Patreon, so first post here. I completely share Tom's questioning about the lack of "need" for Furiosa both as (a) another film highlighting the hollowness of revenge fantasy as well as (b) a prequel for a character whom we know what happens to them. At the same time, as long time reader of Walter Chaw's film criticism (who can be very divisive and incisive as the same time), I am wondering how folks here might feel the following fits or does not fit with Tom's critique here: "Furiosa is a defining movie of our time...It’s a film obsessed with wars we start in deserts over oil and the short-sighted bellicosity of warlords supplying the artillery to perpetuate them. It’s about the oppression and brutalization of women. Most of all, it’s about the fragility of powerful men, the fights they start to mask their fear and inadequacy and the loud machines they make to disguise their humiliation. Furiosa paints a dire picture of our descent into fanaticism and genocide, of hoarded resources and the economic and environmental collapse our leaders have engineered. The greatest irony of this and other recent zeitgeist touchstones (Dune Part Two, Civil War, Oppenheimer, Godzilla Minus One) is how our most ambitious popular art, our desire to create precious things (still the best defense for our continued existence), is primarily dedicated to documenting what feels like our final years on a dying planet."
