Dementus’s Color-Changing Cape Is the Key to Understanding Furiosa
Dementus’s cape changes colors as he descends into further villainy and as Furiosa rises to become the rarest of things: a true hero.
When Dementus’s men bring Furiosa (played at a young age by Alyla Browne) to his tent, he asks that they show his prisoner hospitality, and he eventually gives her a teddy bear that once belonged to a member of his own family. At this point, he seems like the lesser of two evils, and he delivers a big populist speech in which he promises the Citadel’s impoverished masses that he’ll share the wealth and rule with them, freeing them from Immortan Joe’s cruelty. So, instead of setting her sights on destruction or even fleeing to the paradise of her childhood home, Furiosa devotes herself to freeing women from Immortan Joe’s tyranny, as seen in the FuryRoad scenes we revisit at the end of this film.
