Well, in all fairness, you don't really SEE the baby getting killed, but the implication is upsetting and I belive that's the idea.

What makes it worse is that Max was an idiot for leaving his precious family to go run around barefoot in the woods instead of defending the farm

Of course it is. In so many ways that is the point of the movie.

It's a very brutal and upsetting scene.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

The first time I saw that scene when I was a little girl, it ****ed me up. And ever since then, it is the only scene in this movie burned into my memory. Whenever I think of this movie, that scene replays in my mind.
Well that, and the time Max spent with his family at home.

Of course it's upsetting. It's supposed to be.
Just because I'm not on THEIR side, doesn't mean I'm on YOURS.

Ah, I see.
Thanx.

Uncultured, coarse white trash.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

And what does "Bogan" mean?

Sprogs is common, but is more of a Bogan term.

By "you" I meant Australians.

I call them breeder spawn.
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

I thought that was his name until I saw you use it as Australian slang.
Do you say "tyke" or "imp" down there?

Ridiculous! She would have been better off hiding the kid in the house. They referred to him as Sprog….
Norman! What did you put in my tea?

Yeah, running straight down the road instead of off to the side and trying to hide somewhere?
Great idea!
Or try to hide somewhere back on the homestead after driving the car behind the house making them think she took off in it.

Stupid f<>k breeders are their own worst enemy and make it worse for the rest of the world and not just other humans.
While the scenario in the film was quite well executed, it was also stupid in terms of the actions the characters portrayed.

^This
I don't give a damn that dumb breeder bitch and her little **** were killed.
Serves them right for breeding!

Noif she is so retarded that she runs in the middle of the road and not out on in the field she had it comingand why even take the babyif she left the baby in the car it would have made it and btwwhy even leave the farm.she got them locked up and only one way outif they stayed with that rifle pointed at the door, none of them would have had the balls to open the door and max could have come back to the farm and everyone would have been aliveher and that old hag was so stupid or the scriptwriter more like it that they deserved to be killed
~If the realistic details fails, the movie fails~

Arguably you 'see' more dead baby in Fury Road than in this movie.

Would've happened if she told Max that some rapey dudes were farking with her when he was at the gas station

Yeah, so, duh! How else should such a thing be conveyed!? ???
And as another poster noted: You didn't see the baby and mother, Max's wife, killedit's certainly implied and NOT shown that you could've seen it. So that makes your post even more pointless. Well thanks so much for that, so highly intelligent on your behalf, oh yes!

Most disturbing part to me was the fact that she was still running down the road, still trying to escape despite how utterly futile her efforts were. Something about was really saddening.

so, pep_88, you're a burnt out shell of a man, then? like max is in MM2?

I didn't find it upsetting.
