I Still Haven’t Recovered From This Iconic, Unforgettable Moment in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’
Though the actors famously detested one another on set, Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron's characters in Mad Max: Fury Road share a memorable scene.
As Mad Max: Fury Road turns ten, its legacy is untouchable. The film's magic is in how perfectly its production design—on every level—supports a stellar cast, most of all its central pair, Max (Tom Hardy) and Furiosa (Charlize Theron). I count myself lucky to have been alive for the theatrical run and to have seen it multiple times in theaters. I'm blessed to know that if a sandstorm looks cool enough, feels high-stakes enough, and is projected onto an enormous screen, it can make me cry at how beautiful and awful it is. (Thanks in no small part to Junkie XL’s score). But for me, the greatest moment in the film isn't the convoy chase or the second canyon run or any feat of action. It's the blood transfusion scene; for in Mad Max’s brutal dystopia, exchanging names and blood is damn near a wedding.
