5 Survival Lessons From ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’
Editor’s note: This story contains no spoilers.
The new Mad Max movie (Fury Road) takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where war lords and roving gangs control vast swaths of land, resources and people. Max is a loner who gets captured by one such war lord, and is forced to endure physical abuse while also suffering from his own inner demons.
Max is many things, but first and foremost he is a survivor. The movie is set in a desert world where water, gas, and food are scarce enough to be fought over, and between the harsh environment and endless rivals, the chances of survival are slim. But Max manages to endure, and can give us a few lessons along the way.
1. Be Wary of Strangers
The movie is fraught with this lesson. In a survival situation like Max’s, it is probably best to take a long look at anyone you meet. When push comes to shove, humans will go to great lengths to survive, and when society has crumbled, there is no telling what others are capable of.
However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t look out for others. Don’t use civilization’s downfall as an excuse to become a terrible person.
