Daily Dialogue — November 15, 2016

Furiosa: It’s me.

One of The Vuvalini embraces her. Others approach Furiosa.

Vuvalini: There’s something in the eyes. Perhaps it is Jo Bassa’s child.

Hugging Vuvalini: This is our Furiosa. How long has it been?

Furiosa: Seven thousand days. Plus the ones I don’t remember.

Vuvalini: Furiosa, what happened to your mother?

Furiosa: She died. On the third day.

The women all gesture as one to honor their fallen comrade.

— Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), written by George Miller and Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week: Bechdel Test suggested by Will King.

Trivia: The older actresses playing the Vuvalini did their own stunts.

Dialogue On Dialogue: This movie passes the Bechdel Test with flying colors and has been called a ‘feminist Western’. This scene is particularly powerful.
