J. F. Roux
Roux thought that the act of artistic creation resides in the decisions that the artist makes about what to leave out from the represented world, so that a painting is the product of the artist’s considered choices about what forms and colours to emphasise. There are some early paintings at Langebaan of fishing boats and later, from a trip with Margot to Sicily, of dwellings. Roux was also commissioned on occasion to paint pictures of farm houses. But on the whole, his landscapes represent nature in all its timelessness, stripped of any trace of human intervention.
Nux (Mad Max character)
Nux — much like the rest of the War Boys — is inherently sick and on the brink of dying because of the environmental hazards. He has developed two deadly tumors on his neck whom he affectionately calls "Larry & Barry". Nux sees the Furiosas' escape as the perfect opportunity to prove his devotion to Immortan Joe and enter the afterlife in Valhalla. When the mission to intercept Imperator Furiosa and Joe's wives begins, Nux sees his colleague Slit collect a steering wheel. Nux takes the wheel from Slit along with his "blood bag" Max. Nux straps Max to the front of his vehicle and gives chase, nearly immolating himself before Max stops him.
The following morning when Nux awakes, Max is fighting Furiosa and her fugitives. Believing that Max seeks the promised reward, Nux helps him to break free. However, Max drives off with the women leaving Nux to sneak aboard Furiosa's War Rig. When he is discovered, he is berated as "fodder for an old man's war" and thrown off. Upon reuniting with the War Boys, Nux claims that he knows a way onto the War Rig and brandishes a scrap of white cloth from a woman's dress as proof. Joe gives Nux the task of shooting Furiosa in the head, but Nux fumbles on top of the war rig, which Joe calls "mediocre". A skirmish breaks out leading to the death of Joe's favourite wife Angharad which further compounds Nux's humiliation.
