Obsessed with the use of the sunset in this scene. In fairytales the stories end with our heroes living happily ever after and riding out into the sunset. I think the sunset here plays on that theme, both Lucy and Maximus have reached the goals they had at the start of the show: Lucy found her father and in a few scenes Maximus is about to become a knight of the brotherhood yet their original goals are the opposite of what they wanted. The images of rubble and destruction in front of the sunset reflect the broken state of our protagonist’s hopes and dreams and the destruction being lit by an idealistic symbol of a sunset shows how the dreams that our protagonists had were built on lies and reveals the corruption behind what they thought was everything. And yet within all that destruction they’ve found each other, two sides of the same coin. It’s just so cool I love fallout
