Exactly! Like I fell hardcore in love with this movie,
actually, when it turned out the Green Place wasn't there anymore --
like you can't actually have a utopian oasis in the middle of
this world right now, and it was clearly a pretty heavily armed
utopian oasis when it existed.
(Oh god someone with a WAY higher tolerance for that kind of thing
really needs to read this movie against all those endless feminist
utopia/dystopia novels from the 80s. Like I'd do it myself but to be
honest Sherri S. Tepper make me want to, like, watch hardcore porn
while eating a live cow and firebombing a greenhouse from my SUV. But
you could get some useful mileage.)
And this is my feeling -- they are all, right away, going to have to
make a lot of decisions they and the audience are probably going to
find abhorrent in all directions (although probably in different
ways). And it's going to be bad for years, and, like,
legitimately it's possible that a Pax Furiosa might be the least worst
option for a while, depending, and everyone's going to lose faith a
bunch. And it's GREAT.
