The set-up
The trailer gives us several lines of text setting up the story: “45 years after the collapse, a young Furiosa is taken from her family. She will devote the rest of her life to finding her way home. This is her odyssey.” This is over a long continuous shot of a War Rig flanked by several motorcycles. We assume Furiosa is in the middle vehicle but this frame doesn’t quite make it seem like it’s her. Maybe she’s on one of the motorcycles?
Also, the focus on the phrase “This is her odyssey” certainly brings to mind Homer’s Odyssey, the story of a famed warrior heading home after an epic war. Sounds familiar.
