Mad Max Fury Road - Best Scene EVER

[harridmei]

The moment Cheedo announced that Joe is dead was when Nux realized that his "god" is truly a mere mortal, but he still chose to die to save his friends on his own volition.
That's a nice development.

his "witness me" from earlier compared to his final one....**mad respect bro**

[dourodd]

"Witness me" is one of the dopest things anyone can say before a courageous death

[typhooni]

"Witness me...." has much more impact whispered, then all the times it was shouted.

I love how there is ZERO exhibition in this movie.. It just takes you for the ride. Its becoming one of my favorites.

But are we going to talk about how bittersweet the death of Keeper of Seeds was? She kicked ass for the short time we had her, she was a good granny figure, and I hated the fact that she had to go. At least she died both peacefully, and knowing her legacy would live on.

Nux's death is legendary. Vallhalla is achieved to those worthy deemed by the Valkyries, the mythical warrior-women of Norse legend who witnessed battles and chose the worthy among the fallen to become Odin's Einherjars.

Beautiful poetry that both the War-Boys mythos of V-8 and the Vuvalini's teachings line up perfectly. The Vuvalini teach the act of taking in the fallen into their hearts, symbolically the role of the Valkyrie preserving and redeeming fallen warriors at the moment of witnessing or learning of their demise. War-boys scream "Witness me!" but it is only Nux who is witnessed, as Capable, Cheedo, and one of the Vuvalini observe his final act of heroism. Through Capable's gesture, he is preserved by their way and kept in their hearts in memories (at least Capable's).

In the end, Nux was the only one who achieved the Vallhalla he and his fellow warboys so desperately desired. But so beautifully: Nux's last words are not the reckless abandon of hopeless souls, surrendering their lives out of sheer desperation to leave their mark in a doomed world. Nux realized he had something to live for - saw the honest hope in the future, in spite of tumor-riddled condition. He did not shout or scream. His words were a broken, forlorn, miserable plea, full of grief and (understandable) fear. He knew what had to be done, and he knew that had gotten everything he would have wanted, but how he spoke those words strike as the perfect refutation of the cult of martyrdom and abandon that served as the thematic antagonist for the movie. Valhalla is something to be sought, yes - but living is so much more glorious.

To see Nux change from the broken, maniacally sucidal soul from the start of the film, and to see his final moments full of grief and sadness - is the prefect way to conclude his story and Fury Road's most pivotal themes.

A lot of people that criticize this movie don’t seem to see the big picture. I think this film is one that needs to be experienced more than just watched. Everything about this scene alone is part of what made this movie so phenomenal. Nux went from a delirious warboy with an infatuation with Immortan Joe to a hero within 2 hours and it didn’t feel rushed at all. The little detail about the seeds and going forward with life by going backwards and reevaluating the meaning of ‘home’ is just outstanding. Add the bad ass soundtrack and the outstanding acting and we have this iconic scene. This movie also managed to deliver an amazing social commentary on multiple real world issues and none of them seemed out of place or felt convoluted. Thank you George Miller for this film. Just wow

my favourite review of this movie was "it starts with an engine revving and doesn't stop until the lights come up in the theatre"

[PalmurcioWorld]

0:52 that seed moment always warms my heart. It's like The Dag promising her that in the middle of that ruthless, cruel wasteland something new is gonna be plant and grow and that woman's death be in vain. After all, they will grow up The Green Place with Many Mothers by themselves.

[MaxV]

This film is just so beautiful, can't stop watching it. It's pure cinema, pure emotion, pure honesty. It's just perfect, in every aspect.

[Volgrand]

At that moment, Nux found a real reason to die. He found true meaning, true appreciation, true care.

[Luna-Starfrost]

What hit me the most here, is that the big dude, one of the big villains, didn't die in a super epic death. He just "fell off the truck" in the most unspectacular way possible, the whole scene was about Nux' sacrifice instead. About him completing his arc and finally getting free from Joe's brain washing. Cried my eyes out there, I loved Nux.

[theodorickim]

1:00 Granny is smiling. She has died. But her spirit has never died.

[MrNiceGuy]

Junkie XL did such a phenomenal job with the score of his film. So much of the story was told through visuals, but the music really contributed to the emotional state of every scene

[acfan]

Best scene ever should include the entire film, it's a masterpiece. Love all the mad Max films

[Coelacanth]

Magnificent movie. It should've won Best Picture.

[Loispealz]

He was allowed passage to vallhalla, were the gods themselves bowed to his feat.

[misterkevinoh]

It breaks my heart because I think Nux for the first time in his life found something to live for, but knew that to keep it alive he had to die for it. We could analyze this to death, but at the end of the day none of us would be so bold to face death head on. May we all be witnesses to what sacrifice truly looks like.

[treshepherd]

Makes me cry when the dag takes the seeds and looks back at the old lady poor old lady 😞😢😢
