bonehandledknife:war-rig-ace:War Boys aren’t always boysThird from the left. Once you see the woman War Boy, you can’t unsee her. One of greatest things I enjoy about Fury Road is that even a woman can be a War Boy. And not only is she a War Boy, from her position on the car, it can be argued that she’s probably a Lancer, like Slit. Between her and Furiosa as Imperator, this says some interesting things about War Boy society, and seems to suggest that gender is a non-issue among War Boys. It says that competence and ability are a greater measure of a War Boy than their gender, which is completely reasonable in a post-apocalyptic world where survival is about ability and gender has little to do with that. It can be argued that perhaps War Boy society within itself is a meritocratic egalitarian society that cares little for race, class, or gender, and only is concerned with competence and ability. Of course, once the hierarchy of the Citadel becomes involved (Immortan Joe and his family/retinue) that reshapes the outlook. But if one breaks them into two major classes, War Boy society and the leadership, one starts seeing some interesting contrasts in terms of individuality and identity.On a side note, we’re pretty sure this War Boy is Charlize Theron’s stunt double, doubling once more as a War Boy. It did occur to us that perhaps this is a rather slender young man, but the build and the overalls are more suggestive of a woman, especially as Charlize Theron and her stunt double are both rather distinctive in build.primarybufferpanel!!!Fully willing to roll with the idea, but I know there were also a bunch of background dudes in dungarees. -- source link
