MM Beyond Thunderdome's last third

[Uncle Entity]

Think to Thunderdome's end.

Max wasn't the only one to re-approach to his human, forgotten side. EVERY individual and collective "entity" showed in the movie's first part (Bartertown) and second part (Crack) lived a transformation, an humanizing process in the fast-paced, epic and visionary third part.

Max changed. He became an hero, finally. The hero Fifi wanted.

Aunty changed. She saved Max in the end... she knew he was right.

Savannah and the kids matured, after Gekko and Finn McKoo's deaths.

Crack In The Earth wasn't "driven" by false idols anymore.

Master changed. Look at him in the end, when he "saluted" Max. He's now more human than the ego-maniac Lord he was before.

Pig-Killer became free. Wounded to death, but FREE.

Ironbar Bassey - as prototype of all the post-apocalyptic barbarians - just went "outsmarted" by the new future (Max and Company) and eventually found death. The Road Warrior era died with him, definitely.

Bartertown was no longer a viable hell. Underworld was been destroyed. It was the end for THAT vision.

HOME was born. The future.

In the end, everything came to full circle.

This is genius!

Uncle!

What a brilliant assessment!

It is the ultimate salvation epic (after we lay aside The Passion, of course)...
I adore the way you adore your Maxian legends. There is something about a ruffian hero that makes the hearts of women flutter. With Max, I don't think we would even demand he bathe before he ravage us!

Ta,
TBOT

Congratulations Uncle, once again you've taken what other people would consider a small detail, and turn it into a grand piece of symbolism. I totally agree with your interpretation of the full-circle idea. Well done!
As for Ruffian Heroes getting the girl, I also agree, it always seems in the movies you dont have to be polite, or well dressed to get women, just beat people up, and get beat up a bit yourself then... ultimate babe-magnet, Indiana Jones or Han Solo anyone?

Ahem, an example of the point...

Yea, that was a good assessment, for sure.

In the Road Warrior, there were good guys and bad, unlike BTD where it was every man for himself.

I did like the babe that the gyro captain got in the end.

Road Warrior, that is...

Thanks, people... Thank you very much.

I just love the whole "Ruffian Hero" theory so much

Any other smart observations here?
