![]() ![]() ![]() Even Slit gets his moments, if you look at it the right way.Then there's what Nux says before the "WITNESS ME!" moment, when he notices Morsov starting to get back up after seemingly dying a simple death. Given the War Boys are practically raised as brothers it becomes very clear that they do care about each other, Slit aside. The prelude to Morsov's death also counts as when the War Boys notice him chroming up they all start screaming his name, one even giving a Big "NO!" at the realization of what Morsov's about to do.Morsov shortly before his Heroic Sacrifice is saved by another War Boy on the War Rig from the charging Buzzard car as he and another War Boy are left on a vulnerable bike, by jumping onto the crane and swing around to grab Morsov by the hand and lift him up to the War Rig, even if that still left the other War Boy to die as there was no time.Except for Slit (who's mostly an asshole) the Warboys clearly work as a team- you can see them taking care to pull Nux safely onto the truck after he shows the wives' scarf, even though cutthroat villain logic says they should dump him for being a liability due to scrawniness/sickness.They may be brainwashed fundamentalist berserkers but they care about each other. Everyone but Slit cheers in reverence when Morsov manages to resolve to do just that. Although it's indicative of the self-destructive War Boy culture when Morsov is mortally wounded, Nux looks genuinely upset for his sake and encourages him to get up and go out in a blaze of glory.Some take this as confirmation that Nux actually did make it to Valhalla, his soul shiny and chrome. Making it better is the track playing during this scene.After an entire film of trying to be "witnessed" in the world of Joe and the War Boys, Nux finally gets his recognition in the new world he helped create. Capable "witnessing" Nux by clasping her outstretched hand and pulling it towards her heart-a gesture established earlier in the film as a mourning gesture of the Vuvalini.Towards the end as Nux prepares for his Heroic Sacrifice he looks straight at Capable and calmly says "Witness me," the shot makes it clear that she doesn't look away.In the end, he dies not as a subhuman savage, but as a man. As the coloring wears off throughout the film, however, and he shows emotions besides crazed rage and glee, we begin to see the human he was never allowed to become. When the film begins, Nux, and the rest of the War Boys, look like straight-up monsters, which is presumably just how they like it.Without waking her up, he gets it off of her onto his finger. While Capable is dozing off next to Nux, Nux notices a bug on her shoulder.Nux abruptly giving Capable a little kiss on the cheek.She shows neither fear nor hatred, but instead lies down to comfort him, effectively inducing his Heel–Face Turn with simple kindness. Capable finds Nux hiding in the back of the War Rig, suffering a Villainous BSoD brought on by his repeated failure to earn a glorious death.They form a rather cute couple of sorts done subtly without a lot of unnecessary dialogue. Generally speaking, the relationship that develops between Capable and Nux. ![]()
