MAD MAX FURY ROAD EXPLAINED MOVIE
MAD MAX FURY ROAD EXPLAINED SERIES

вЂњRobert, coming from you,вЂќ Miller said, вЂњIвЂ™m serious, if you want to know how I made it, you just look in the mirror and answer the question yourself.вЂќ I guess my question is how the hell did you make this? ItвЂ™s go-for-broke cinema, it feels real.вЂќ вЂњIвЂ™m an independent filmmaker here in Austin,вЂќ said Rodriguez, the director of films such as вЂњDesperadoвЂќ and вЂњSin City.вЂќ вЂњI was inspired by you, I grew up watching your movies. The footage featured various images from the film but focused on a particular scene involving Theron and Hardy.ДЄfter the second clip, the first question was asked by no less than local filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. Though it may also be shown at an upcoming event in Las Vegas, it wonвЂ™t be available online or released to theaters. The second clip, Miller said, was a trailer cut especially for the Austin event.

вЂњThe way we all thought about it, is next Wednesday, all the bad stuff we see in the news comes to pass, where we have economic collapse and oil wars, water wars and stuff we didnвЂ™t even see it coming and we jump 45 years into the future and in a sense we go back to a dark age without rule of law.вЂќ The three films exist in no real clear chronology, because they were always conceived as different films. ItвЂ™s not the same story.вЂќДЄsked to explain the chronology of the films, he explained, вЂњItвЂ™s sort of a revisit. вЂњItвЂ™s just recycling,вЂќ he said, laughing. The clip featured Tom Hardy as Max alongside Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult and Abbey Lee Kershaw, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Courtney Eaton, Riley Keough and Zoe Kravitz.ДЄfter the clip, Miller noted two similar touches from вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ (вЂњI swear this is true,вЂќ he said) that he had not recalled from the earlier film but are used in вЂњFury Road.вЂќ (At one point Miller noted the influence of the western вЂњShane.вЂќ)ДЄ clip of six to seven minutes from вЂњMad Max: Fury RoadвЂќ gave some sense of the style of the film, and keeping up with MillerвЂ™s comments, it seemed somehow both familiar and entirely new. It remains an essential template for contemporary action cinema, but it also works on the same dramatic terms as any classic settlers-under-siege Western.

As much as вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ is filled with wild and frenetic action, there is also something hypnotic in its pacing and portrayal of endless barren roadways and the relentless quest for fuel and freedom.

Having the film play on the same screen where one night before the modern car movie вЂњFurious 7вЂќ had premiered served to underline the distinctiveness of вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ in editing style and effects work. YouвЂ™re watching a very kind of bewildered man right now. вЂњAnd then comparing it in my head, kind of twisted in knots comparing it to what weвЂ™ve just done on вЂFury RoadвЂ™ and seeing that itвЂ™s so similar and so different at the same time.

вЂњI have to say I felt a lot of emotions, memories,вЂќ said Miller, 70, after the screening in a Q&A moderated by journalist Drew McWeeny. He happens upon a functioning oil refinery under siege by a band of marauders and is convinced/forced to help those stranded inside to drive an oil tanker out to safety. The film opens with a prologue explaining more or less the end of the world and then charges viewers into a post-apocalyptic wasteland where Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) wanders in search of fuel for his V-8 Interceptor to keep wandering. The film itself was spellbinding, having lost none of its power to startle and amaze. He noted that the screening would be of a new 35 mm print of вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ and that he would be sitting through to watch the film from beginning to end on the big screen for the first time in 32 years. Miller received a standing ovation when introduced before the South by Southwest show.

His upcoming вЂњMad Max: Fury Road,вЂќ the fourth in the series and the first in 30 years, opens May 15, and Miller treated the enthusiastic crowd to two brief selections of footage from the new movie. It was a mix of the old and the new Monday night as SXSW held a screening of the 1981 film вЂњThe Road WarriorвЂќ with director George Miller in attendance.
