Isn't this...
...the contemporary equivalent of Waterworld? I mean, c'mon guys, a girl with a tattoo on her body which leads all the way to Dryl...ehm...the promised land?
shareIt would be a fair comparison if that plot point wasn't largely dropped after (Or rather, within) the first act and just became about Furiosa surviving the world and showing the surrounding events that led to Fury Road.
I'm not even sure why Furiosa tattooed a map on her arm since she didn't need it and it never really factors into the rest of the movie. I guess just for a brief moment where Jack can notice it and give them an excuse to attempt to elope somewhere?
I think they were dangling a red herring for that being how she loses her arm? IDK big waste of time. Like the dozen other abandoned story threads in the movie. I mean losing the arm sort of closed the door of hope of ever getting home. But give me a break, she tattooed herself and stared at the thing every day, she has that map memorized anyhow.
shareI think it adds to the sense of despair and hopelessness. Here's this thing that she had that was her way back home. One thing that she had along with the seed from before she was abducted. Then Dementus took that from her too. Just another in a long string of things.
