(part 1 here)
60. Hardy selling the shit out of this moment and that quick montage of truly horrific images showing us just how hellish Max's dreams are
61. That thing Hardy does with his eyes. He does it in a lot of his roles, actually.
62. Theron so beautifully showing the hopefulness Furiosa feels in this moment.
63. I cannot remember the last time the idea of sisterhood got such a cinematic love letter. Furiosa is raised by women. Trained by women. Shaped by women. She is not like all those action heroines trained to fight by their dads.
64. Furiosa smiling as she remembers her tribe's customs.Theron infuses her with such childlike innocence here, it just breaks my heart
65. The frantic, sad violins mixed with the distant voices of women as Furiosa realizes that all hope is lost.
66. Miller and the cinematographer don't do what everyone else would - close up. It works so well giving us such an iconic image
67. The interactions between The Dag and one of the old women.
68. Hardy acting like this was The Office and looking straight at the camera.
69. They both go Kaboom
70. The camera slightly spinning around Max and Furiosa in this beautiful moment
71. Blink and you miss it, but right before the scene cuts, Max gives Furiosa the slightest smile.
72. Dag praying to whoever will listen.
73. Spitting gasoline.
74. The quietness with which this woman is dying and Dag rushing to her side.
75. That shot. I do not know how the hell they even did that.
76. Furiosa's desperation as Toast is taken...
77. ...and Immortan counting the wives.
78. The way Max looks at Furiosa here. It's like for the first time he realizes they may die and really takes in what it would mean.
79. Furiosa's blind fury as she sees Toast in the car.
80. The shot of Furiosa's hand trembling with pain.
81. Nux's genuine concern as he notices that Furiosa is wounded.
82. I can't even find the words to describe how I feel.
83. Another impossible shot.
84. Max keeping his eyes locked at Furiosa and fighting whomever he has to get to her because he knows she will fight until she is dead. This movie is absolutely a love story. But it's not boy meets girl story. It's soul meets soul story. As the final fight progresses Max only goal is to get to her, before she loses her life trying to get to Joe.
85. That guitarist just keeps on going.
86. The subtle slow-mo of Cheedo standing there with her hand outstretched.
87. Max getting to Furiosa just in time and pulling her in.
88. Toast spitting on Immortan's corpse
89. The film has such subtle moments of grace and kindness - among them Dag taking the woman's plants and saying goodbye to her just with her gesture and Capable witnessing Nux's death and slowly reaching her hand to him.
90. "Hi, hi", "I'm so sorry" - my heart breaks at the gentle way Max speaks to Furiosa.
91. If there was any justice Charlize Theron would win every single possible award for her performance here. There has been no moment more beautiful or more flawlessly acted in any movie in 2015 than Furiosa begging Max to take them home. Home, something she lost and is so desperate to find again.
92. The tenderness with which Max touches Furiosa. He treats her as if she was some sort of miracle.
93. The things Hardy does here...that nod he makes. It's like Max reassures himself that yes, he is a person and yes, his name is Max. Something he hasn't told a person in such a long time. But Furiosa is someone he wants to tell those things.
94. Max helping up Furiosa, the crowd chanting to let them up and Tom Holkenborg's gorgeous accompanying track.
95. That shot. The triumph among the ruins.
96. That beautiful image of Furiosa - also a call back to the way Max looked in Road Warrior.
97. I have wept tears at those nods. Miller originally wanted Max to stay with them in the Citadel but Hardy told him Max is not ready to stay just yet. So we got this ending - the finest I've seen in a long time, with Max and Furiosa understanding and respecting each other so completely.
98. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie end with a quote and this one was perfect.
