DP/30: The Oral History Of Hollywood

9 жыл бұрын

George Miller has directed just 10 films in 36 years. Four are about Max Rockatansky. (Also, two Happy Feet, Twilight Zone, Lorenzo's Oil, Witches of Eastwick, Babe: Pig In The City) This time, 30 years since the last Max film, there is a new Max, a new kind of villain, and Max's first sidekick who (at least) is his equal. George discusses the new film, the new technology, the evolution of the choices of films he has made over these decades, and the low point of his Hollywood experience.
Shot in Los Angeles, May 2015

Too bad that almost a whole damned duo of back to back generations of idelogically hubristic, new filmmakers took absolutely no notes from George's ferocious brilliance. Probably because he is considered by the "useful" DEI idiots to be an "old, straight, white, male colonizer. However, a great master is an undeniable master. Bow down & give due homage.

I always said that some of these old timers are still better if not superior directors. I got to see Furious 7 and hated it. Fury Road had John Seale coming out of retirement to be DP for this movie. He's 72. George Miller is 70. Guy Norris, the stunt coordinator from the first mad max movies came back to do stunt coordination and second unit direction. All of them geezers, man. Lol. Awsome. I think Quinton Tarantino said that directors get worse with age. That might be true about him, but not Miller or guys like Scorsese

@borichamo 9 жыл бұрын

Definitely true! But for every great old director, you have those that "get worse with age" George Lucas is probably the most famous case, and some even argue that Spielberg's newest films were subpar (and I'd have to agree). But I guess it just goes to show you, no rule is absolute.

My faith in cinema has never really diminished, but my faith with action movies at the cinema had. Probably the last action movie I truly enjoyed was THE RAID 2 - anyway ------ George has raised the game. Can anything this year, or this decade from Hollywood come close to touching the magnificence of FURY ROAD??

He really reminds me of Martin Scorsese. A humble, informative man who loves what he does and does it better then most. Scorsese obviously has more acclaim because he has been around longer and has made over 20 films and George Miller has made 9. But what an impressive 9 films! Road Warrior and Fury Road are considered some of the best action films of all time and it is truly earned. I truly hope we see Mad Max: The Wasteland, soon.

George Miller seems very down to earth, and I'm so happy to be hearing such great things from this movie. Looks like he has hit one out of the park again....and that gives me hope for a few other directors that have been on a lukewarm/cold streak to have at least one more stunner come out. I'm more stoked to see this than the avengers sequel....but I'll probably go to see that too. ;)

Who are these people that count the number of shots in movies?

@gemreivews 9 жыл бұрын

Producers. Sometimes you can determine a cost by counting your shots and also making the list for what will go into that shot. I'm sure someone makes a list with a bill stapled to it. And from there the director and his film crew figure out what they can do without. The matrix script had a car chase sequence. Too expensive. So the chase was shot on foot. And they made a list. "Neo runs down sidewalk. Block a sidewalk with extras. Neo snatches a cell phone off yuppie. Hire extra. Get prop department to provide cell phone."

Furiosa is interesting because really she should have been a wife. Could it be that Immortan Joe didn't want her for a wife because of her missing hand? And then she survived by becoming a warrior, and then she was the only warrior who understood the wives and wanted to free them. Her handicap made her uniquely positioned to do something great. That'd be a marvelous message, wouldn't it?
