Get to know me - Favorite Relationships (1/5) Tidus + Yuna

The film deals very heavily with sexual assault victims but on the broader level it’s about a society that ruthlessly objectifies and pillages people’s bodies with no concept of sexual/reproductive consent or bodily autonomy of any kind. Max is commodified for his O negative blood and forced onto a battlefield to serve as a muzzled IV bag (in a clever invention of the writing that effectively elevates the sense of injustice towards a non-consenting blood donor by making him also a humiliated hood ornament who could get badly injured at any moment). In the context of a film that charges forward in almost non-stop violence motivated by an insidious war of bodily control, the moment at the end when Furiosa is dying and Max is outright frantic to give her his blood might as well be tantamount to a love scene.

In fact it’s more effective than a love scene could have ever been, because the submission is entirely his. Some hope for a place of good humanity could have been represented by one of the women trusting Max or Nux with her body, but the scene we get feels less forced and more poignant for how unremarkable the event should be: it shows that every little violation does matter, by bittersweet contrast with how freely and kindly these things would be given in a world where more caring could thrive. The fact that Max loses all emotional control here–rushing to share his name with her, probably more vulnerable at that moment than the character has ever been in the entire franchise–only makes it a more powerful moment. After the events of FR he may very well never see Furiosa again, but the scene makes it hard to believe she didn’t affect some kind of change in him in what little time they fought together, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with finding their little journey romantic, in its own strange purgatorial way.
