Mad Max: Fury Road relationship between Max and Furiosa

Mad Max Fury Road is a story involving two people by the name of Max and Furiosa who are being held captive and trying to escape from Hamlet. Max is suffering from scandalous fortunes, but is learning from fortunes, while Furiosa has decided to oppose his problems by taking up arms against the leaders of Hamlet. The two characters cannot trust each other at first, but due to their circumstances they are forced to depend on each other. Love is humanized in the film, where much deeper love conventions are attacked. Max is a loner and a survivor who has been traumatized in a world where people see him as a bag of blood. Rather, Furiosa is hatching a plan to help five women who have been enslaved in Hamlet. Max doesn’t trust Furiosa and for most of the movie he points a gun at her.

In the midst of these desperate attempts to escape their pursuers, Max and Furiosa are forced to depend on each other. In many love stories, people fall in love because of the opportunities that circumstances provide. The alignment of the stars and personal chemistry makes this happen. Every step of the relationship between Max and Furiosa is dictated by their circumstances, where the only option left for them is to depend and rely on each other and trust each other to escape. In a critical scene, Furiosa asks Max his name but he refuses to tell her. In the end, Max finally tells Furiosa his name where there are important events throughout the movie. These moments come and go in the movie through apocalyptic chaos and alienation. Max and Furiosa form an alliance in which they try to fight off motorcycles that shoot at them. He leaves her to go on a mission that can be fatal, but fears that no one will find out if he dies on the mission. Max talks to Furiosa about a suicide mission when he says “you know hope is a mistake”. Max finally decides that hope is not a mistake and returned to Furiosa where he joins her and they plan to oppose the forces against her.

At the end of the movie, Max doesn’t stay with Furiosa but instead leaves and eventually disappears into the crowd. A modern viewer can resonate with this film in the sense that modern man is alienated from himself, from the world, and from his fellow men. We are all alone, with a deep sense of insecurity, guilt and anguish that are the result of a separation that cannot be overcome. As Max lost his identity in the initial moments, the man has also lost his identity and is overtaken by powerful forces that possess him. Like Furiosa, the man tries to find a community and all he finds is a desert.
