In the redemption scene where Furiosa opens up to max about her childhood, the aspect of dialogue has been amazingly used by Miller to give more sympathy towards Furiosa from max and deepen their bond. “I was born there. I was taken as a child….stolen”. Furiosa says these words to answer maxs questions regarding her connection to the green place that they are seeking. These words from Furiosa seem to have a small impact on Max as we can see his facial features change to a small empathetic look. This scene also showed the audience that both Max and Furiosa are starting to be more comfortable around each other. This makes the audience feel more sympathetic towards Furiosa. This was a great use of dialogue as it not only builds Furiosas character even more, but also gets sympathy from the audience which makes the scene very relatable. Miller uses dialogue cleverly in correlation with character building as through dialogue we find out more about the characters past and their purpose to why they are on this mission. After Furiosa says the word redemption, the scene cuts to a low angle shot of Nux cuddling with the red haired wife. The words “I was taken as a child…...stolen” can be linked to today's world with child soldiers, child labour, and human trafficking being one of the most horrific, atrocious, and unpleasant things that are present. Just like Furiosa, most children in 3rd world countries are being taken away from their homes and being used as slaves without their will. Furiosas character can be linked to the children who are doing things against their will as with Furiosa, she was taken to be Immortan Joe's wife
During the same scene, music played a big part to make the scene a bit more personal between Max and Furiosa. This was an effective way to make the scene more interesting. An example of this is during the conversation between Max and Furiosa. Miller used a sort of soothing melody with a mix of classical violin to make the dialogues between Max and Furiosa more impactful. This inturn made the audience seem more interested in their conversation. The music put a melancholic tone on the scene which beautifully intertwined with the dialogue and made the scene feel really important to the storyline as it was the first time the group wasn’t being attacked or running away from anyone.
The beautiful way the scene was presented to the audience was to get their sympathy towards sympathy and to make the audience know that redemption is an important thing to Furiosa. This makes the audience feel really happy in the end when Furiosa takes charge of the Citadel and frees the wives from Immortan Joe's clutches. Lighting plays an important role in the scene as it works perfectly with music to set a soothing and calm tone to not only the ears but the eyes as well. This scene sort of worked as therapy for both characters as they were finally opening up to each other. As stated before, music worked really well with dialogue to make this scene have an impactful feel and work perfectly with the melancholic dialogue.
