Furiosa has a lot more lines than Max, and the film really revolves around her and the wives. This was an important film for women, because it broke the norm of a nearly all male front cast. The women were well developed and strong, and there wasn't a focus on the fact that Furiosa was a woman which humanized her. Furiosa is a rebel, with a shaven head and a prosthetic arm, fighting for freedom for her and the wives. Furiosa was not the only well developed women, all the wives had their own personalities as well. For example Capable played by Riley Keough, is the most compassionate, and free spirited. Cheedo played by Courtney Eaton is fragile, and scared of what's going on but perseveres. Dag played by Abbey Lee, throws insults around, is snarky and intuitive, and finally Toast the Knowing played by Zoe Kravitz, an intelligent, bold women tasked with inventory on guns and ammo. The wives are all very distinct looking each unique just like their personalities. This made the female characters feel more authentic and multi dimensional. In fact the wives had a very important role in the message of female empowerment, expressing the message that women are not objects for men, writing “we are not things” on the walls of their room after they escaped immortan joe.

The movie does not neglect dialog or emotion at all, it is one of the few action movies i've seen where I cried multiple times (even after watching it three times). Overall there is a good balance between the action, dialogue, and emotional scenes. Not to mention the points talked about earlier that made this movie
