That’s a damn good point. There was something about that exchange I liked, and I couldn’t put my finger on it: I think you hit it. There was no special considerations given to the relation between the two characters in gender, just their positions.

You know what the best and most subtle bit of feminism in the movie is?

Forget that it’s a Mad Max film for a second: it is probably one of the best edited, well-crafted, brilliantly-placed, perfectly designed films I’ve ever seen. And what’s more, it worships show-don’t-tell: they establish more about characters with no dialogue than some tv shows can manage with multiple seasons.

Yes. He sends countless young men to their deaths in the name of a greater ideal, and then promises them a great reward after they’re gone.

Go see it. It’s the sort of movie that is so visually stunning you have to see it on the big screen.

but more than half of the 100 House members were not present for the opening prayer with some reportedly boycotting her remarks.

What a bunch of babies. Oh no! Someone out there doesn’t believe in your version of White Mostly Protestant Rich Bastard Jesus, better shit yourselves!
