So this was my absolute favourite moment in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Max can’t make the shot. Tries, fails, tries, fails, and there’s only one more bullet left.
No belittling, no defensiveness, no shaming from either of them. It’s just the best person for the job. He hands the rifle over to her, without discussion, to do what she’s good at in the critical moment, and does what he can to support her success – acts as a motionless prop for her shot.
Equals. Respecting each other’s skills. Relying on each other.
If this is madness we could do with a little more of it.
