I’m pretty sure it’s a directorial/authorial decision rather than something inherent in the world, given how the rest of the post also points out things attributable to storytelling choices rather than the world itself. I’m not sure that it was that the world didn’t have sexualization, as that the sexualization wasn’t what Miller wanted to promote. It also shows the director really respects and put thoughts to those characters, not just eye candies in an action movie.

You can say everyone is fair in this terrible way.Īnd for an story angle, I think by letting the characters in the movie not dropping any “sexy babes” comments onto the wives (despite how easily this “sex slaves as breeder” troop can be hella sexist), it really helps the audience not to focus on their sex appeal but on the fact that they are not treated as human, thus seeing them as human beings. There’s nothing “sexual” in it despite it’s all about survive and reproduce. It’s kind of like how we keep the cows for milk, oxes for steaks, and dogs to hunt. High commanders can have) male as cannon fodders with short life span, their value not more than dogs healthy captives and probably non-combatants as blood donor (Max was captured and forced to donate blood to the War Boys). Everybody else in the movie are objectified in the same, almost animal level kind of way: fertile female as breederĪnd milk producer (the scene is shot clearly not because “hoho male audience must love to see some big titties”, but to show mother milk is a precious nutrition source (which is true) only the The wives are reduced to objects for their “functions”, not because they are eye candies. Not in a way “Slave Leia” is sexualized in Star Wars anyway, which is obviously to please the male audience and the male villains. Take the wives as an example, they are called pretty and precious by Immortan Joe and the War Boys only because they are not only fertile but also have no developmental deficiency, which is a rare thing in that world, not because they are, well, sexy.Įven though the wives are kept as “sex” slaves, and rape were involved, but they are not “sexualized” both in the eyes of the audience and the movie characters. I think the director not only didn’t sexualize the female characters, he also set up an terrible yet interesting world where sexualization is probably too much a luxury to even exist. None of the people in this movie use a character’s gender as an insult. None of the people, including the villains, call Furiosa a “bitch” for all I can remember, which is a common thing for movie villains to say to a female protagonist.
