History of Feminism

We enjoyed it a lot. I guess it depends how one looks at it whether you think it's feminist or not. I saw it as being female-centric and the feminist theme of agency over one's self/control of one's life is woven in between the chases and fight scenes, so maybe one not looking or paying attention would miss it.

Things I liked: the mutual respect between Max and Furiosa; the wives fight right alongside Furiosa, so they are taking part in their escape; the women are portrayed realistically, whether they're the young sex slaves/wives/brood stock, older and battle-hardened warrior, older still motorcycle riding white-haired and wrinkled Mothers--their ages and roles mesh with the film's message and each woman wanting control of her own life; everyone has something at stake. There are long chase scenes, sure, and violence, and iffy dialogue. It's a Mad Max movie.
