This "tell", in my opinion, is one of the best and most memorable monologues and scenes in movie history. The language, the presentation, and the delivery by Helen Buday is so beautifully and skillfully executed, making it believable to the audience. Pretty damn incredible for a first movie role. It makes me wish for a Mad Max spin-off about "The Waiting Ones".
Sorry, I just found it cringe. Thunderdome jumped the shark considering Mad Max 1 was basically modern times but in collapse. 20 years later they are talking like they've been tribal for 100 years.
This is pretty Terrible and cring. the tell is just a television. They fashioned twigs and leaves to make a Television. It's no different than if someone held on to a conch she'll for speaking. Even shows like Rick and Morty, and Solior Opposites have made fun of the way they speak. "In the before fore times" and the "boomy bombs". I laugh at this scene.
This scene is great because it represents one half of the overall theme of this film. "Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome" shows both sides of human beings as a species, the good and the bad. On one hand, we have a great capacity for acquiring and preserving knowledge. "The Tell of Captain Walker" scene shows that in it's most ancient form; the spoken word. This scene also shows our species great strength of forming strong familial bonds through a tribal culture. "Barter Town" represents our species at it's worst, conniving and backstabbing, using our language and forged relationships to cheat and deceive. Clearly George Miller chose to show this dichotomy by having children represent "the good" and adults to represent "the bad", with Max square in the middle. BRILLIANT!
Im a big Starwars fan and right now i feel there is no "substance" in my beloved franchise and its got me down. Ive always loved the Mad Max movies though, i feel George Miller would be a excellent choice to write and direct a Starwars movie in the saga. Hes great at capturing gritty, dark and adventure feels (Mad Max 1&2), but also lighthearted, magical feels too especially with this third movie. And he can shoot action perfectly.
Unfortunately, with Mad Max Fury Road, George Miller seems to have gone the Star Wars no-substance route. Fury Road is a dazzling shiny penny with no meat to it, like the previous Mad Maxes had.
I'm trying to tie up a logical chronology of all Mad Max movies. Do you think it makes sense to assume that Beyond the Thunderdome takes place 13 years after the apocalypse? And Fury Road 20 (Being Max 42 or 43 in that movie)?
I like how the writers envisioned how kids who never learned to talk right would talk. They sort of got their own language, and they're history like the old and pagan tribes of old before writing, is oral-based.
It's a staple in my life! I can only yell "'Membah" when remembering....nobody really remembers or gets it....the lack of respect for Captain Walker is atrocious....don't get me started with Captain Ron!!
I dig how they mix up what they know and half remember to make a culture. The writers read up on anthropology for these scenes. It brings to mind "cargo cult" religions that started after WW2. See these Pacific Islanders got wrapped up in the war in the Pacific and didn't understand it. They just knew that they made a clear strip of land and magic birds from the sky would land and give them food and amazing things. For decades afterward they made air strips and airplanes made of wood and vines to call back the sky god's favor.
Some tribes even set fire to some huts when they saw a plane. The people in the plane landed & took mercy on them & gave them some new stuff, not knowing that they caused them to burn them. They rebuilt their huts and took the new tech & were happy. So the cycle continued. I don't have the book anymore so i can't tell you where that was exactly. But i recall reading about it.
Cried hard at this scene. Absolute genius. The beauty of the world through a child's eyes, the love and bonds of tribe, a story of tragedy. So much character in the setting and dialogue itself. Every inch of this set and scene oozes with thought and care.
This scene does a great job of encapsulating everything that's great about our species as a whole, whereas all of the Barter Town scenes show us at our worst.
If people think it's a plot hole that there are no adults, just imagine that Captain Walker took most of them along with them, but women stayed behind and might have died in childbirth, or other adults died young from the radiation of the poxyclipse. It's also possible that some of the teenagers are parents to a lot of the younger ones. One of the girls says that they're about to "pop any day now".
the main girls oldest son is the one that gets eaten by quick sand, the scene of her and him meeting is to show the divide of the oldest kids from the second generation and yes one girl is showing
In the book, it is told that the oldest of the waiting ones were no older than five when they were left alone, and all of the children present now are the kids of those surviving kids (the oldest teens and young adults) and their kids kids. The girl that's pregnant is said to be about 14
This scene could be silly if it was filmed by someone else but it manages to pull us into the absolute magic of it. I think the language used helps tremendously
I love to watch this. It gives their interpretation of things they're heard and seen but don't quite understand. It was fun to figure out the things they were talking about.
This is one one of my favorite parts of the movie. I'm almost moved to tears when they begin "the tell," by their sincerity and earnestness to keep the story pure and to not let time cause their history to fade away.
Something I love about the Mad Max movies is the continuity of Max. There is a scene where you see a close up of his eyes and one of them has the pupil dilated/damaged. I read somewhere that this was from the Interceptor car wreck in Road Warrior. Not only that, you can still see the leg brace around his injured leg. So much thought went into these movies.
they actually consulted a doctor, so a lot of the injuries could be accurately portrayed, actually I think the director used to be a doctor, i may be wrong but yeah all injuries are very realistically portrayed. Unlike pretty much every action movie ever.
Bernard Johnson Also the close up of his eyes was probably also, Max on the verge of tears, seeing those pictures of Sydney, the 747 & the walkers-before the apocalypse.
I love this movie. I love the blind faith they, as children have in "Captain Walker." Anyone who, as a child, had to make it on their own, will find this comforting. Mad Max, honestly, feels like the sort you know wouldn't let you down.
Believe it or not, it did land successfully for me once. ONCE! I’d be thrilled if someone dropped it on me one of these years. They’d instantly have my complete admiration and respect. We’re hanging out with the wrong people.
I loved this scene where they thought Mad Max was the second coming of Captain Walker, even down to having him drawn in a crucified pose carrying the children upon himself. It would only be around 19 years later that Mel Gibson would tackle the real Messiah being put on a cross on film.
I always thought of the Mad Max timeline in relation to the children that are depicted in the films. For instance the first film, "Mad Max", shows Max Rockatansky's son as a toddler. The next film,"The Road Warrior", shows a feral boy that's about 10-12 years old. The final film,"Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome", has Savannah Nix (star of this clip) as an adolescent that is now almost a fully grown adult.
Interesting theory. I'm being serious now, did you ever hear about Grease taking place in a dream or in heaven or a near death experience for Sandy and that she actually did die at the beginning as Danny was unable to save her from drowning. It totally fits, its awesome.
This is a brilliant depiction of how religious things get started. It's pretty easy to deduce the, uh... reality, on which THE TELL is based. But there are alterations. They've fit the extra details into the overall narrative (to wit, MRS. WALKER!!). Just effin' brilliant.
The adults were exposed to radiation longer then the children who were born probably years later. The parents lifespan would have been short. Judging by the age of the youngest children the last of the parents died out about 8-10 years earlier. Leaving only the children behind. The oldest children are about 17 which gives a ruff date on when the Walker plane evacuated whatever city they were in.
The Oasis is home to not only the Waiting Ones but what looks like a habitat to a plethora of fur and meat bearing animals, look at the abundance of pelt and leather clothing along with the water skins and feathers, although we don’t actually see any we’re led to assume these kids have access to a lost bastion of animal life
Anybody else see the complete despair? When the kids are all lined up on the outside of the crashed jet, you almost don't know whether to laugh or cry.
This is how the story of the tribal children of the once Nation of Australia settled down at a fertile oasis: Before the World War lll Captain Walker took over 300 orphaned children in a commercial jet plane and flew into the skies to seek refuge. Suddenly turbulence happen and the its wings broke apart. The plane crashed on the fertile oasis. Some of the children survived others died. As Captain Walker and his children settled down. Walker went out the desert to find survivors. He promised to return so he could take them to paradise of refuge called tomorrow - morrow land. Where there is sonic and video technology galore.
HighlyDedicated Think its a plot hole. If there are no parents, and the tell is past on from generation to generation, who are the parents of the 5 year old if only Savanah and the other guy are the oldest.
Jonathan Cotton long story short canon wise mad max 1 takes place 15 years into the future mad max 2 takes place 5 years later mad max 3 takes place 15 years later so like mad max 1 is 2030 mad max 2 is 2035 mad max 3 is 2050 between now and mad max 1 a bunch of skirmishes happen between iran and saudi etc, oil gets shut off from the middle east, then there is a small nuke exchange in the middle east. Society starts breaking down. then mad max 1 then after mad max 1 and 2 massive wars are breaking out between nations, people are starting to run out of food, society is almost all but gone, very few nations exist at all. people are now starting to run for safe areas. Then mad max 2 Then mad between mad max 2 and 3 the last remaining nations launch a massive war on each other. they complete ending of the world. The parents of these kids get on a plane because they knew the war was coming. Apparently they were in the air when this nuclear war happens so they go down. They wander around and find an oasis. They have a bunch of kids and get really bored and wander out probably around 7 or eight years before mad max shows up. Basically their parents are dead. but anyways nuclear war happens, nuclear winter, gasoline is as rare as gold all society collapses water is scarce and there are about 10,000 people left in australia. everyone is basically dead.
The dialogue style is from a 1980 science fiction novel titled Riddley Walker. The whole book is written in that language. Actually you can see a lot of bits of this movie in that book.
i think that these kids have been living here for generations. that as soon as one reaches maturity they venture into the wasteland and never return. thats how come theres so many little ones.
It's all in the intro for the Road Warrior. A nuclear war DID happen, brought on by greed of oil, carried on after the war by roving gangs. Watch them all and see how the policeman Max survives it all.
And the inspiration of Sorrows from Honest Hearts (imagine if Mad Max was an old survivalist who helped out the children in secret), Boomer's mural (think lost children as gun totting and explosive chucking and tech savvy tribe), and the now-cancelled Van Buren's Vault 29.
I believe that the captain knew that the strike was coming and got all the people he could on the plane and get out of there seconds before they was in the air it happen the bomb hit and the wind and sand flying around the wind was so strong cause the plane to go down so I'm thinking that they left the city seconds before the end and the captain knew that it was coming

"Remember this?" - "MRS WALKER!"
lol gets me every time
... Me too!
Walkkkka!!!
"a gang called Turbulence" wow. This short speech is full of so much genius. Like others have said: lots of thought went into this movie.
This "tell", in my opinion, is one of the best and most memorable monologues and scenes in movie history. The language, the presentation, and the delivery by Helen Buday is so beautifully and skillfully executed, making it believable to the audience. Pretty damn incredible for a first movie role. It makes me wish for a Mad Max spin-off about "The Waiting Ones".
In undergrad for screenwriting course, I wrote a treatment for a Mad Max spinoff called "G. L. Walker" that covered the events described in the tell.
It’s brilliant! It’s so believable that language would become this, trying to grasp at ‘membered versions of past memories without books or computers.
Sorry, I just found it cringe. Thunderdome jumped the shark considering Mad Max 1 was basically modern times but in collapse. 20 years later they are talking like they've been tribal for 100 years.
This is pretty Terrible and cring. the tell is just a television. They fashioned twigs and leaves to make a Television. It's no different than if someone held on to a conch she'll for speaking. Even shows like Rick and Morty, and Solior Opposites have made fun of the way they speak. "In the before fore times" and the "boomy bombs". I laugh at this scene.
This and CP3O telling the Star Wars story to the Ewoks
*It is unpossible to make a movie this good anymore.*
_Evil can only copy, it cannot create._
I mean, Fury Road was pretty darn good by the same director and expanded it pretty well I think, and did tell the tell.
This scene is great because it represents one half of the overall theme of this film.

I'm trying to tie up a logical chronology of all Mad Max movies.
Do you think it makes sense to assume that Beyond the Thunderdome takes place 13 years after the apocalypse?
And Fury Road 20 (Being Max 42 or 43 in that movie)?
TOTALLY !
But it's pretty much stolen from Russel Hoban's Riddley Walker.
Hey, at least they have a 16:9 widescreen HD stick to tell the tale. Other tribes probably still only have standard definition 4:3 sticks...
LOL. Perfect comment.
😅🤣😂This deserves waaay more thumbs up!!
A good thing there was not a flew epidemic or the audio would be shit.
I like how the writers envisioned how kids who never learned to talk right would talk. They sort of got their own language, and they're history like the old and pagan tribes of old before writing, is oral-based.
yeah, they managed to keep it together and not let their world degenerate into a Lord of the Flies scene
tomorrow "moron" land refers to the world we live these days right? LOL :(
I think the dialect is great too, but I don't think these kids "never learned to talk right." A people in isolation simply develop their own dialect.
you like how the writers used common sense?

One of my favorite scenes from any movie ever
Brilliant.
0:31 "I'm lookin' behind us now, across the count of time and down the long haul into history back". In Devon, they just say "backalong".
I always wondered if it was "long haul" or "long hall"
In the spirit of Walker I thought "long haul" though "hall" has much to recommend it.
Sounds like "haul" to me the way she says the vowel.
This scene could be silly if it was filmed by someone else but it manages to pull us into the absolute magic of it. I think the language used helps tremendously

Surprising amount of negativity in the comments for this, for me this scene is wonderful!
I know, right? This is a terrific movie....favorite one from the Mad Max franchise.... :D
It's the Internet. They're idiots.
This scene is so beautiful and so disturbing. So sad.
Great Scene!! Fantastic dialog!! Love the way they speak!!
This scene represents how we, as a species, survived the Ice Age.
TruthFoot Yes...”WE”. They are OUR ancestors. Or are you of Neanderthal descent?
I love this movie. I love the blind faith they, as children have in "Captain Walker." Anyone who, as a child, had to make it on their own, will find this comforting. Mad Max, honestly, feels like the sort you know wouldn't let you down.
Max is a savior despite he wanted to isolate himself from humanity.
I wish, just once, someone would get it when I say, "Memba dis!?"
Believe it or not, it did land successfully for me once. ONCE!
I’d be thrilled if someone dropped it on me one of these years. They’d instantly have my complete admiration and respect.
We’re hanging out with the wrong people.
I loved this scene where they thought Mad Max was the second coming of Captain Walker, even down to having him drawn in a crucified pose carrying the children upon himself. It would only be around 19 years later that Mel Gibson would tackle the real Messiah being put on a cross on film.
It's 2024, and the vinyl record it's all still relevant. Frightening amazing.
Mrs Walker never fails to crack me up
When I watch the movie I can't help shouting "MRS WALKER!!" along with them. Lol
The stuff with the Crack of the Earth people and Captain Walker is actually a tribute to Russell Hoban's sci fi masterpiece novel, Riddley Walker.
Amazing Novel.

This is how the story of the tribal children of the once Nation of Australia settled down at a fertile oasis:
Before the World War lll Captain Walker took over 300 orphaned children in a commercial jet plane and flew into the skies to seek refuge. Suddenly turbulence happen and the its wings broke apart. The plane crashed on the fertile oasis. Some of the children survived others died. As Captain Walker and his children settled down. Walker went out the desert to find survivors. He promised to return so he could take them to paradise of refuge called tomorrow - morrow land. Where there is sonic and video technology galore.
So this is where the member berries originated.
Nathan Forester I don't get it. I haven't watched South Park since October. Can you explain?
The recent season of South Park had a superfruit known as 'member berries' that made people nostalgic and messed with their minds.
Nathan Forester I know that but what does that have to do with this movie?
Well in the movie they say 'member' instead of remember. So that's where they got their name from.
This scene has been stuck in my head since I was a kid
There's a commercial that's been playing where a lady asks "Remember this?" and I IMMEDIATELY say "CAPTAIN WALKER...MRS WALKER!"
Even the script was lyrical and of course Tina Turner was fantastic!!
Pure movie magic.
Poetic.
As a kid, I thought this was normal australian behavior.
This is a really good movie! :D
I love the song in the background. Wish it were isolated.
The origin of the southpark member berry joke.

between now and mad max 1 a bunch of skirmishes happen between iran and saudi etc, oil gets shut off from the middle east, then there is a small nuke exchange in the middle east. Society starts breaking down.
then mad max 1
then after mad max 1 and 2 massive wars are breaking out between nations, people are starting to run out of food, society is almost all but gone, very few nations exist at all. people are now starting to run for safe areas.
Then mad max 2
Then mad between mad max 2 and 3 the last remaining nations launch a massive war on each other. they complete ending of the world.

how POWERFUL!---(the danglings trinkets representing tv nobs)
I need a prequel
Memba' this?
Ooh, I member.

Any time anybody ever says "remember this" I remember this, what when Savanah had Her Time with the Tell.
And the inspiration of Sorrows from Honest Hearts (imagine if Mad Max was an old survivalist who helped out the children in secret), Boomer's mural (think lost children as gun totting and explosive chucking and tech savvy tribe), and the now-cancelled Van Buren's Vault 29.
I think Randall Dean Clarke is inspired partly by Mad Max but being a military man instead of a former cop
V V V V VIDEO!!!

So badass.
Haunting scene. Is Max a prophesised Messiah, is it a weird coincidence, or are these kids totally looney tunes (whassup doc)?
I believe that the captain knew that the strike was coming and got all the people he could on the plane and get out of there seconds before they was in the air it happen the bomb hit and the wind and sand flying around the wind was so strong cause the plane to go down so I'm thinking that they left the city seconds before the end and the captain knew that it was coming
The picture of Walker with the kids on his shoulders looks like something by Beat Takeshi.
oh yeah, I member!
