This idea of Furiosa’s to run away to this land fails and she decides they are just going to ride into the desert and hope for the best, which would have most likely gotten them killed. Because they have a female warrior as bad-ass as Furiosa I don’t see why it would have been inconceivable to have a group of female warriors escaping to go to the green land instead of breeders. Also, these other female characters could hardly pull their own weight. You can imagine the insecurity of the girls without model body types were feeling watching this movie. I get that the whole movie has a very small number of people in it, but my problem with this was that all 5 of these women were basically Victoria Secret models with a little dirt on their face. There are about 5 female characters other than Furiosa in the whole movie. For starters it was a good try, and merely stating you are trying to create a feminist movie is a good move, but they didn’t completely pull their weight. However, I have to live up to my Feminist Theory professor and appreciate the good things while critiquing the bad. I’ve heard a lot of talk about how Mad Max: Fury Road was such a great feminist movie, and I agree with the great, but not so much the Feminist.
