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".

This and CP3O telling the Star Wars story to the Ewoks

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!

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I love the song in the background. Wish it were isolated.

Hahaha, Max is all: awww crap.......do I have to be the hero.....AGAIN?

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.

Every single culture has a flood story after the ice age and this scene sums it up for me

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
