#i missed ya

[sweepseven]

Saw Furiosa and am pretty surprised at how quickly I just...stopped thinking about it.

I knew comparing it to Fury Road would be a no-go because that movie is basically perfection and that just sets you up for disappointment. I went in thinking okay, it's a movie in its own right, let's fucking go.

And I just don't feel like I was treated as smart as I was by Fury Road. So many explanations where FR just let us figure shit out or be yanked along for the ride. So many names - why on earth do I need to know the names of every Dementus crony when only TWO of the five wives were called by their actual names in FR? And most importantly (spoilers from here on out): why didn't Joe care that his latest wife disappeared and then very conspicuously reappeared as a pseudo-war boy?? It just didn't feel thought through. I was really surprised by that.

The movie didn't seem able to decide if Furiosa was the title character around which things happened (like Max in FR) or if we were actually and actively following her story. Many times I thought the story might be more effective if we got more time with Joe, wasteland politics, and how she moved within that world. Every major story beat seemed to serve a broader sense of "and that's why this happened" rather than just. Telling a cohesive story.

I was psyched as fuck to see Max. But I also was wondering...should I expect to see Ace? Nux? And what purpose does Furiosa's "remember me" to Joe in FR even serve anymore? What does she want redemption for, if all she ever did was fight to survive and seek revenge? And I'm no fan of the comic, but it and FR did so much more to imply what happened to her as a wife than this movie did, to the point that it felt strange. Some elements of Furiosa seemed to actively undermine or cut short their impact in FR.

Even the war boys looked a little "Kirkland brand" - I know it's because it was an earlier time and in some ways less desperate resource-wise, but it wasn't that long before the events of FR. They didn't look lean to the point of alarming, nor worryingly sick. They kinda just looked like dudes having a wild time. And I gotta spare a moment to say how disappointing the reliance on CGI was. FR was a festival of practical effects and Furiosa was so distinctly not. I missed knowing for certain the world was real.

I dunno. I gotta see it again - I can't in good conscience say narrative flow was definitely an issue when FR's narrative flow feels like being yanked behind a war rig at first face. But the picking and choosing of details left me wanting, and not just because FR set such a high bar. Furiosa at times felt like ticking boxes and filling blanks, not telling a real story. After a nearly ten year wait, I'm bummed to come away feeling "that's what they went with?"

Samantha Béart: yeah so Karlach isn't like. A totally good person. She's certainly not evil, but she's definitely flawed. There is a dark side to her that she doesn't want you to know about, and not only has she done heinous things in the past, she's still fully capable of doing heinous things now. Her happy-go-lucky attitude is 1000% a trauma response and this woman absolutely NEEDS to go to therapy because her mental health? It's in shambles

People online: puppy :)
