What is your favorite action movie?
Die hard 3
this! and Aliens!
you dont mess with the zohan
Terminator 2
Probably furiosa
Never noticed the parallels between milk/breastfeeding and blood/ transfusions until you pointed it out. Damn good video.
Those are the raw resources at there disposal
yeah it's honestly a really interesting part of the story. I never really thought about it.
I remember Mark from Fatman on Batman pointing this out - such a good catch

I liked the part about how max gives his blood to her at the end showing men can also give life =)
Wow. Great analysis. I own this movie on Bluray and have watched it probably 20 times, last probably a month or two ago. I think I'll watch it again tonight because of this because I think it might be enhanced. Here's a like and subscribe.
I haven't seen a film analysis on Fury Road that has made me question how I myself viewed the film quite like this one. Your eye for symbolism is very impressive
Max regaining his humanity and his name. Didn’t notice this, but what a cool detail.
Drop the letterboxd please my glorious king 🙏🙏
are you gonna do furiosa next?
Damn this video esay was good.
One further possible detail of Max and Furiosa's bond is when he tells Furiosa that Angharad went under the wheels. I've always thought that the look he gives her combined with what he said was him subtly telling Furiosa "It doesn't matter if she's alive or dead. We can't stop to get her." And Furiosa understands because she too knows that if they go back for her, Joe will catch them and it'd all be for nothing.
Yes, also proves how good of an actor Tom Hardy is, he communicated it with just a side glance and a change in tone of his voice
She doesn’t actually go under the wheels in the scene, he 100% just said that to so the other wives stop demanding they go back.
@hoffjdod3276 yeah, but the rest of the truck fell on her. She wouldn't have survived regardless
absolutely. she wouldn't have had the belly if she really went under the wheels.
Yup. Definitely more a testament to George Miller though, as I hear that the actors flew pretty blind on most of the scenes. With very little context.
"Max goes from wanting to kill her" One really, really important element of characterization to keep in mind is that no, Max, in fact, didn't want to kill Furiosa, or anybody there, not even Nux. He just wanted to g e t a w a y. If he wanted to kill Furiosa he would have shot her instead of firing off warning shots, if he wanted to kill Nux he would have instead of popping him in the sternum, and so on and so forth. But your point overall still stands.
Yes, but I do think in that moment "they were wanting to kill each other" If Max had to, he absolutely would have killed everyone there, if it meant his survival. We are told this in the beginning, with his one sole goal.
You can also see a shift in Furiosa with the warning shots too. She is thinking "He didn't killed me, he can be reasond with"
@@lockekappa500 they were fully willing to kill each other but didn't want to if they could avoid it. It's the difference between desperate and irredeemable.
@@Neutral_Tired That's also partially wrong. Furiosa definitely would have killed him (she actually tried to shoot an empty shotgun) because he's just another man in the way of her/their freedom/redemption, and he was the one who actually had a choice and no reason to hold back with a loaded pistol but didn't do it while fighting for his freedom. What's interesting is that it is the same thing that drove her to kill him and him not to kill them: the bits of humanity left in them.
@@gmatsue84well said... the sequence takes the characters and us as the audience from self-preservation end survival instincts to cooperation via empathy. Very powerful
You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite film RUclipsrs. Incredible work
Thank you
@lancelloti. "Visual music" as Miller called it
Came here to post this. Left satisfied 🤪
This is the guy
Hitchcock believed that silent films were the purest form of film. Fully telling the story through the camera, which is why when visual storytelling is done well in film, like Fury Road, it’s that much more rewarding.
Yea I believe that, just look at silent comedy from Mr Bean or Charlie Chaplin.
When 80% of movie is action of course you don't need that much of dialogue, it works for some type of movies for some dont that's the point of different genre
Blade Runner 2049 is a good one
@@Lambeaudoors Amazing!
"They speak only when neccessary"
No wonder I love these films, they're practically me.
was that really necessary tho
@@brucewillis542 fire response cause thats like the one thing you would never say
I can see you as a milker also my dude 😅 spot on
@@cringedogelemoodon9597 thanks bro, I just travel the world speaking truths and solving mysteries.
aye therapy
Thats the best use of "Show, don't tell" .. much like Vince gilligan did in Breaking Bad and specially Better Call Saul..no dialogue, only progress for 10 or more minutes... respect for the people who are patience enough to Invest in good story telling
Bcs was mostly Peter Gould
When was show don't tell in those shows?
@@gutzz1519 the whole fly episode was a show dont tell on how walter is feeling through the fly
This isn't good story telling...
It's good story showing. ;-)
It's kind of amazing how much chemistry Max and Furiosa have, considering Hardy and Theron hated each other and wanted nothing to do with each other all throughout filming.
As the saying goes, the opposite of Love is not Hate, it's Apathy.
I did not know that. i guess you can call it darn good acting.
On a side note: Why did they hate each other?
@@wjzav1971I think it was reported that Charlize really dislike Tom’s unprofessional behavior like being 3 hours late to filming
Both very good actors.
@@sailormordred1335
I recall from snippets of interviews with the man that Hardy had no motivation or faith in this film and it's success.
He had a generally bad time on set (as most did, a lot went poor in Fury Road's production) and was sure it would flop.
It wasn't until he saw the final cut he changed his mind completely.
Apes together stronk 💪
Perfect video as a perfect end to my day! Thanks 🥰
Truly the greatest of apes
WHAT A WONDERFULLL DAAAAYY 🦍🦍🗣🔥🔥
@@blackirontarkus3997 * *violently nodding* *
I kind of think Furiosa saw a bit of Praetorian Jack in Max.
Yeah, that is definitely what Furiosa was going for. Praetorian Jack and Max are basically the same character.
I wondered of his significance but never drew the parallel. Though she didn’t seem romantically interested in Max.
@@morganbrown392 True about the romance, but they had the same type of synergy.
Amen. Was so sad that Furiosa and Jack could not ride away together in the sunset :(
@@morganbrown392 Do you think Furiosa and Jack were romantic? Im not sure how to take the scene where they clutch each other's heads. Since that is done platonically in her culture.
I will never get tired of watching "Fury Road" video essays. It's insane to see how many little moments of team work there are when all spelled out.
now THIS is what equality looks like, don't show "men bad, women good" or "men strong, women weak", instead, show bonds between men and women outside of romance, show that we depends on one another and that we need each other in order to have hope
yes, I don't think men and women can ever be truly equal. We are so vastly different, we're so good at different things and bad at others. We need one another
@@bomapdich More like the word 'equal' is based on an understanding that we are different. Things can only be equal only when they are not the same. Overcoming that difference is the beauty of equality
@@작업용-o9x 👍
I'm such a sucker for platonic relationships between men and women in films. It's so hardly ever utilized, but almost always so powerful when done well.
Beautiful comment. Ideal.
But women are competition now, not the reward.
OMG I saw this 10x in theaters, and have watched infinite critiques, but this is some serious translation of film as higher philosophy.
I had the LARGEST smile when the "soundtrack" was actually a warboy riding a truck packed full of speakers and a flamethrowing guitar.
I've been preaching visuals over dialogue to my acting students for years. Always happy to see new videos on the subject.
It's just a more dynamic form of story telling. I get that people want to make a post-apocalyptic myth/fable ( which I feel what Furiosa was trying to convey) using elements from Conan and even LOTR as inspirational beats. Mad Max is about the shreds and dregs of humanity with brief fleeting moments of redemption. Not Cinderlla.
If you want dialogue read a book, visuals is the main difference between books and films
This movie always brings tears to my eyes throughout the entire runtime because of how well-made it is. This script is so tight and understands payoff, and the editing is some of the best I’ve ever seen. Just like the world of Mad Max, this film wastes not.
Great video ! One crucial point you missed in the Anghara death scene is the fact that she slipped *because* Max shot her. The camera shows a close-up of the wounded leg, and then she slips. There was another important element of narrative story-telling through pictures that gives additional depth to the scene, since we know their passed conflict and Max's actions are the causes of this death. Remorse is added to grief, which goes further into the lone warrior trope, and maybe also explains why Max leaves after the end : despite his good will and finding his voice back with the team, he is still a cause of destruction.
Also thought about this. Angarhad dies because of Max, even if he didn't intend it. Another mistake that will keep haunting him.
I feel so sad, that people do not like furiosa. We won't be getting another mad max movie if it fails. I truly wish we had more desert movies like this.
I think the way forward isn't a feature film but a T.V. show. Retelling it from Mad Max 1 would be the smart play and expand on it. Call it Maintain Right.
Well , good , finally we can take a break from the " men bad , women good " trope
@@afroahmed3989 I don't think that's what Furiosa was going for. There was a man in that movie who took her up and mentored her when he quite literally could have left her in the desert. And she grew to love him.
Furioso was good but it did drag a little towards the middle/end. It just wasn't as good as Fury road, this is subjective of course.
@@wjzav1971 Well it wasn't in your face like fury road but it definitely was there.
Fury Road is a Masterpiece in every sense of the word. Just beautiful art.
I wonder is anyone else thinks that the sand storm scene in Mad Max is way better than the one in Dune.
Totally different.
Not even the same category.
One is pure spectacle.
The other is way more grounded (which is pretty funny considering the setting.)
@jonsimpson6240 Actually, I was a bit underwhelmed by the scene in the movie Dune because it's much more captivating in the book. There was an opportunity to create an epic scene with the panoramic shots that Villeneuve excels at, similar to the scene in Mad Max, but it was missed. The scene in Dune, not great, not terrible, just kinda "Mediocre!".
@@ankh_k fair enough. I thought it worked well with the tone the rest of the movie had.
In both cases.
My favourite commentary is that at no point did Max gets Mad. 😆
Masterpiece of a film. Still my number 1 to this day. This video reinforces that statement
A master class in how to properly do "show, don't tell." As opposed to, say, Rebel Moon.
I always got the impression that Splendid slipped on the blood from when Max shot her, and after that Max truly wanted to make sure the rest made it out safely. Whether it was guilt, a reminder of the others he’s lost or seeing clearly his path to redemption, Max is definitely different after she goes under the wheels. Could be over analyzing. Great video and great movie!
Wow, it's almost as if Film is a . . . A visual medium!
I'm being snarky, but you made a good video and it's baffling how many people seem to forget that simple fact.
Ana taylor joy stares in furiosa had more emotion than most dialog. One of my favorite bits from it
You just made we want to watch that movie again for something like the 6th time this movie is a masterpiece thank for reminding me
The funny part is that the movie really didn’t have a script. It had the lines needed to get the story across but the rest was partially up to the cast at the specific time.
This video really helps me put to words all the ways Furiosa just didn’t live up to Fury Road as a movie. I know a lot of people have said they liked it but to me it just doesn’t feel like it carries the same ideas forward or even expands on them in a meaningful way.
Furiosa makes Fury Road all the more impactful. Watching Fury Road alone is like watching Return of the King without benefit of the first two films in that trilogy.
Great video as always! 🙌🏻
One of my favourite moments is when he gives her the gun after coming back. No need for words!
Small error: When Max returns (with blood on him), he has killed the guys from the bullet farm - not war boys.
Film is an artform, and every art form is a device, used to tell a story through its medium. Film being a visual and auditory experience, anyone who is disciplined in the craft should be able to tell you something through showing, and not telling, all though exposition is also a valuable tool if used correctly. My favorite example of everything ive just spoken about is once upon a time in america. Theres so many introspective moments, where seemingly nothing is happening. Shots drone on with morricones regretful and somber score, de niro giving one of his best, but subdued performances, only using his eyes to convey feeling. 10/10 recommend this film to everyone. Not just for the performances and score, but the pacing, editing, themes, symbolism, etc...
Ahhh, how I adored that film, from my first viewing at age 11! Time to watch it again!😻
I rewatched madmax2 not long ago and I realised how well the characters were written in very few shots and fewer words... each second has its purpose...
You earned yourself a subscriber, Great work Mate.
Kill bill. The Matrix,300. Just watched this movie last week and now it's on my top 5
maybe its American to non stop yap in movies... though its like that in Indian movies too (to give a comparison) but they have 10-20minute long music videos inbetween.
Beautifully done video! I can’t even express why, but the way you illuminate these concepts from this amazing movie brought tears to my eyes more than once!
Thank you so much bro
Behind the first terminator, this is the best action movie ever.
One more thing to emphasize Furiosa and Max beginning to bond together and use teamwork, the epic soundtrack in the scene where they are fighting off the bikers is called...
"Brothers in Arms"
Because thats what they are now. They are Brothers in Arms.
To me Conan the Barbarian (the first one), Fury Road, Up and Wall-E belong in the same category as some if my facorite examples of the "show, don't tell" trope.
This was a really good analysis of both Fury Road and how subtext can add more weight to a scene than dialogue. If you keep making videos like this you'll be one of the biggest film analysts on RUclips.
Thank you very much man, i will keep working :)
Have been watching since you had like 6k subs, and that was like a week ago amizing how fast you are growing. And you absolutely deserve it
Love this video and the break down of what i call "the invisable factor". A aspect of a film that makes a good film a great film with out being having a sign pointing at it. For me Alien has this with the opening, a slow build up of just the crew and the ship, nothing is happening for a long time in the film. The Thing does this as well long sequnces that the films world just exsits until the inciting incident happens. I used to thing that this was a feature of older films and story telling but i am so please that it happened again with Fury Road. I believe that while there will still be slop being made year after year, the fact the Fury Road was created well outside the era that people say was the best cinema, that somthing new and good will continu to be created.
Show don't tell used to be the standard for a great movie...fantastic analysis!
This was such a good movie. Not PG-13, so visually interesting with its color pallet and stunts, doesn’t heavily rely on dialogue/ exposition, fun throughout.
Amazing! I wonder what your take on Furiosa is (the movie), as it too had a ton of unspoken communication
Le Dernier Combat is a movie by Luc Besson, set in a post-apocalyptic world, which contains only two words of dialogue. It depicts a world where people have been rendered mute by some unknown incident. Higly recommended! :)
Wow great video! I absolutely loved this film, it was amazing! From the focus on high quality sounds and music that drove the scenes to the dialogue or lack there of. I just was interested in it initially because I was liking a lot of Tom Hardy movies but I was absolutely blown away. Definitely one of my favorites if not my all time favorite!
This was really dope. Thoughts on John Wick as a film lacking dialogue?
Another great video and one of my favorite films, liked and subscribed, great job
Been saying this for quite some time. Show! Don't tell! I haven't seen FURIOSA yet but something tells me its not gonna be as good as Fury Road
I don't think too much or too little dialogue makes or breaks or movie. The hateful eight was absolutely brilliant for example. It's just a case of whether or not you can pull off whatever you're doing
nor stupid jokes everytime the smallest serious moment like what MCU did, it really ruin films.
Max never wanted to kill Furiosa you got that part wrong. He goes out of his way to fire warning shots even after she tries to kill him.
I think it’s interesting that this essay vid came out right after Furiosa, which is like the exact opposite of Fury Road
Mad Max fury road: speak only when it's necessary
Furiosa: 🗣️🗣️🗣️
@@jonplaysgames412 this ☝️
Wow nice video! you should make another one video from the prequel movie
This video is so good. Thank you
Could watch analysis of this movie forever. Theres so much worldbuilding without words. Love your insights.
Film as an art medium is essentially non-verbal communication: communication through moving images. In it's purest form, every movie is silent.
i think Chris Hemsworth would have been a good max too
I can see some CinemaStix inspiration here, excited to see where this goes.
Max could have avoided some conflict with Furiosa initially by speaking a few sentences :D
:)
You don't really need words in a book...
A great video about a great movie!
a mad max movie without mad max is a bold move but they somehow made it work...
They didn't made it work, like at all.
@@tenchotenchev5606 they did. furiosa is rated quite decently.
@@Liza.Wharton By critics yes, they rate highly every new movie. It's not rated highly by the viewers. The only chance it might have worked out would have been if Furiosa was played by Charlize Theron and they kept the real life stunts like in fury road not using so much cheap CGI.
Dog it has amazing reviews by all viewers, as it should, it is absolutely incredible, what are you yapping about angwy guy @tenchotenchev5606
@@tenchotenchev5606 no the audience score on rotten is 90% on the audience side too. and also on imdb, most viewer reviews are positive and over 80%. so they made it work.
you said "they didn't like at all" which isn't true... like at all.
I noticed very cool little detail. First, there is a bag full of guns and bullets ("seeds of death"). It helps them to run away. But then they decide to go back the bag changed it content. Now its full of seeds. Not sure if its the same bag, but still.
Love me some George Miller - great breakdown dude!
Thanks bro! I truly appreciate those words coming from someone with such high-quality content like yours
On a recent flight to Iceland I forgot my headphones and did not want to pay for them. I deliberately chose this film to watch because I knew I could follow the plot without sound.
-
Just watched Furiosa, I thought it was pretty good. Is that what inspired this video?
k
a shame about the sequel 🫥
I forgot all about Nux which is fucking insane because he’s easily my favorite character
This is the best 2010's film, and it has EVERYTHING. EVERY SINGLE THING people get angry about and cry about "muh woke!".
And I bet my ass that only the most absolute and profound idiot, even among conservatives will ever cry about it, and it's because it's te best fucking film of the 2010's by a big stretch, only being Godzila King of the Monsters one that rivals it, at least for me.
You know what's great too with "Fury Road" and "Furiosa". These movies don't suffer from the maerican "politically correct" and puritanism.
You just made me want to rewatch this. Made the mistake of watching this in the front row of imax. I was blind by the end of it.
For a franchise with so little dialogue, the Mad Max movies still have a lot of memorable/quotable lines.
"The Ayatollah of Rocknrolla!"
"Just walk away and there will be an end to the horror."
"Who run Bartertown?"
"Two men enter, one man leaves!"
"Bust a deal! Face the wheel!"
"Witness me!"
"Do not, my friends, become addicted to water!"
"Mediocre!"
I spent my whole filmmaking career in documentary fighting against dialog. The pull is so strong, on everyone involved, especially lay people, to begin and end with words. They begin by having a writer write a voice-over. Then they want to illustrate it with pictures, so they call in a filmmaker. It's funny now to see this replicated with Ai. What is Ai good at? Words! 😹100 years later - 50 years after Hitchcock - we're still doing radio with pictures
Yes you do always need dialogue in film, just not necessarily in every scene. In fact the dialogue in Fury Road is crucial. It's minimal dialogue (which has been true of Miller's films all along) but the dialogue still serves significant purposes. For example after the scene you show, how does Furiosa convince Max to let her drive? Later, how does Max convince Furiosa to turn around and attack the citadel? And so on.
This is something I found myself longing for recently. No One Will Save You blew my mind by delivering an incredible story while having practically no dialogue at all, the John Wick franchise can get a bit verbose at times but its heart is always in the storytelling through impeccable action, and I found myself deeply disappointed by Furiosa, especially as a prequel to Fury Road.
But I wanted it most after I saw the latest Monsterverse movie. The human elements of those movies have always been kind of awful but there aren't many that can rival them in terms of sheer spectacle and action. In my opinion, the parts of Godzilla x Kong that worked best were the long stretches without any human characters whatsoever, particularly the scenes with Kong and Suko, and I would love to see a Monsterverse movie that focuses *only* on the Titans.
I've been saying this about the movie PREY. The film was pretty good but I wish they chose not to speak in English. There was no need. For the little amount of dialogue in the film it would have been so much better hearing it in the native language. Honestly PREY would have benefited even more with out harsly any dialogue. Like the animated series Primal on adult swim. Perfect example. Thankfully there's a native language option on hulu dor PREY but the english lip moving kinda throws you off a little.
Your video moved me to tears, which sounds weird, but Mad Max is me and my husband's bonding movie. Before we were even married, he started taking me on movie dates to the theater but would never tell me details about what we were seeing, not even the title. I don't keep up with what's coming out, so it was always exciting going in completely in the dark.
Anyway, Mad Max was the second movie he took me to see in that way, (Baby Driver being the first [which I won't even talk about how emotionally effected I am by that movie]) We fell in love with this film, and saw it three more times in theater, taking friends with us the third time!
Thanks for your thoughtful commentary. You inspired a newfound love for this story in me! Subscribing.
Also, I don't think you are reaching when you assume that the blood and mothers milk moment is symbolic.
I mean, how can you not love mad Max's super aggressive snapping when he's trying to get somebody else to see what he's referring to? Honestly one of my favorite things in the film, it's so ridiculous but it makes so much sense 😂
Also, the part where Nux just quickly gives the woman a kiss on the cheek as he's about to go do something that he KNOWS will probably end in his death is so fucking beautiful. It's SUCH a cool scene in a desolate movie like this.
Giovanni Schiaparelli thought he saw canals on mars. Others followed. Later astronomers said "what canals?" because they saw none. It's always like this. People always like to affect that they see what isn't really there, because they think they get kudos from it.
This guy is like Schiaparelli, seeing what isn't there.
This is why the new movie, Furiosa, was so cringe to me: Characters over-explaining themselves to the point of becoming cartoonish. It felt like they undid all the realism and grounding they built up in fury road and made it like a Marvel movie. Dementus was cringe.
Angharad's death and Max's subsequent reaction always stands out to me because Max is, inadvertently, responsible for her death and I think he knows it. There's a reason that shot hitting her leg was given so much emphasis. Yes, the door breaks off, but only after she slips in the blood from the leg wound.
It really does pain me when a franchise with this much potiental can not or will not market it's self consistently and hurts it's self. Furiosa( and other stories) would've been more better recieved in the form of a supplementary t.v. show Mad Max - Warlords of The Wastelands. Every season you pick a character and follow thier story and flesh them out properly. The stories can be overlap to and be used to weave in and out of the Canon source material organically. You can even have a pre-apocaloyse police drama with a hot-head raw recruit young Max pressed into service of the MFP. Call it Mad Max - Maintain Right.
Something I feel you missed is that Angharad only dies because of Max. If he hadn’t grazed her leg, she wouldn’t have slipped and fell to her death. And Max never has to say it. But just in his expressions and his mannerisms you know he feels guilty over it. You know he feels responsible for it. You’re right about Angharad’s death being what plants the empathy seed in his skullmeat, but it’s because *it’s his fault.*
Really well done video man, video essays on movies to me is an over saturated experience but your video was clean and to the point, keep up the great work!
You also don’t “need” a good set design, actors, music, anything really. But if you want to make a *good* movie, you should probably have some good aspects of them all. Dialogue included.
The first time I watched Fury Road, I was left with mixed feelings. Because the spectacle was outstanding, but I was genuinely confused about what I’d just watched story-wise. Many of the characters enter in the middle of their own stories and exit seemingly at random. Overarching plot lines intersect the main story and then drift off into the desert without warning. It wasn’t until I’d rewatched it a few times that I began to pick up on all the subtle details and realize that this wasn’t just a simple “A to B” story, but rather a snapshot of a post-apocalyptic world told through a single, almost random adventure in a feudal society. There are whole stories that NEVER get fleshed out in this movie because they weren’t the main point; the POINT was to use their colliding narratives in this one moment to show us what the world is like in this setting.
The best part is that the story itself is amazingly cohesive despite being rather random and having a lot of unfinished character arcs intersecting it. I think this was an incredibly bold narrative decision that the team chose to take and they really hit a home run with it. It also helped that they leaned very heavily on real props for the majority of the scenes, making the entire thing feel way more grounded in spite of the ridiculous nature of most of the contraptions and locations involved.
Genius movie, one hell of a good ride, and definitely worth rewatching.
I just realized how much depther there is to the movie. I'm glad Fury Road is still being discussed after almost a decade. Truly a piece of work. This movie is top 10 for me
Many people, including actors and filmmakers, deaf people and all the people in marketing, know, that nonverbal language and subliminal messages are the most powerful language we have. The language that is so universal, not only humans speak like that. Every animal reads us.
Everybody who reads body language knows that this is a constant. Everybody talks that way all the time. No matter if you know it or not, it only stops in death.
I'm not surprised that films that work and play with that are so successful. They literally speak to us on a deeper level and cut all the nonsensical chatter. It's so relieving.
And there is another aspect. Abracadabra. Meaning: With my word I create the world. If that is true, and I don't doubt that, we all create the world we live in while we speak. And I'm not surprised that the world is the way it is today. We literally talked it into being. With lies, with hatespeach, we curse each other all the time. In every sense of this phrase.
There is a reason why the most iconic characters, especially the ones that represent fury, or wrath, rarely talk.
Speak nice or don't speak at all.
A post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie (over used concept) has no reason to be this good lol people love to dick ride Interstellar but this movie has just as majestic if not more cinematography, just as complex if not more of symbolisms, definitely 100% superior custom design, and a masterful plot that uplift and praises both men and women and spread anti-war and climate-friendly message without being out in your face… this is one hell of a movie and deserves more respect
I think this is a big reason I didn't like Furiosa as much apart from the fact that we were inundated with a lot of CGI. There was too much dialogue, too much exposition. Especially the monologuing towards the end where Furiosa is watching Dementus speak until he no longer has anything to say. Which was poignant in itself but had me checking my watch.
Show, not tell
