Steven Soderbergh / ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’: Don’t Understand How 100's Of People Aren't Dead

Steven Soderbergh Talks ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’: “I Don’t Understand How Hundreds Of People Aren’t Dead”
quote:
The ability to stage well is a skill and a talent that I value above almost everything else. And I say that because there are people who do it better than I’ll ever be able to do it after 40 years of active study. I just watched Mad Max: Fury Road again last week, and I tell you I couldn’t direct 30 seconds of that. I’d put a gun in my mouth. I don’t understand how [George Miller] does that, I really don’t, and it’s my job to understand it. I don’t understand two things: I don’t understand how they’re not still shooting that film and I don’t understand how hundreds of people aren’t dead.
I could almost see that’s kind of possible until the polecat sequence, and then I give up. We are talking about the ability in three dimensions to break a sequence into a series of shots in which no matter how fast you’re cutting you know where you are geographically. And each one is a real shot where a lot of things had to go right.

But he’s off the chart. I guarantee that the handful of people who are even in range of that, when they saw Fury Road, had blood squirting out of their eyes. The thing with George Miller, it’s not just that, he does everything really well. The scripts are great, the performances are great, the ideas are great. He’s exceptional. I met him once for about 30 seconds at the Directors Guild Awards in Los Angeles the year of Fury Road. But you don’t want to say that stuff to somebody’s face; it’s embarrassing.

It's a masterpiece. My wife and her sister are Hallmark Christmas movie year round type of women. They watched it with my brother-in-law and I. They didn't care for it at all, but couldn't turn away and admitted at the end that it was probably one of the most amazing movies they had ever seen for no reason other than the spectacle of it.
It's not quite, but almost literally a 2 hour long high speed action chase scene.

It's incredibly badass

It's amazing and the black and white version is equally amazing

It is awesome. As is said above, it really is almost one giant chase scene. It is wonderfully done. Enough story, performances are very very good, and amazing visuals. Gorgeous movie.

it's on FXX or SyFy now. saw it on there this week. what's crazy is that it's rated R, but they hardly had to edit anything out. no nudity or profanity and most of the gruesome deaths weren't onscreen or lingering.
it's an amazing spectacle of a movie. it's a little too much for me but assassin like execution.

Yes it is.
They could have just named this movie Heavy Metal.

This movie was mesmerizing in the Dolby Surround theater.
For some reason, I laughed every time the guy with the guitar came on the screen. It was so badass and out there that it was funny to me.

Its an absolute masterpiece, a perfect film that expressed its idea as well as humanly possible.

Sound designer Mark Mangini stated that he viewed the War Rig as an allegory for Moby-Dick with Immortan Joe playing the role of Captain Ahab. As such, the mechanical truck sounds were layered with whale calls to provide a more animal-like quality to the truck. When the tank is pierced with harpoons and milk sprays out, the sound of whale blow-holes were used. For the final destruction of the War Rig, the only sounds used were slowed down bear growls to symbolise the death of the truck as a living creature.

Miller recruited his wife, Margaret Sixel, to edit the film, as he felt she could make it stand out from other action films. Sixel had 480 hours of footage to edit; watching it took three months. The film contains about 2,700 cuts of its entire running length, which is equivalent to 22.5 cuts per minute compared to The Road Warrior's 1,200 cuts of its 90-minute running time equivalent to 13.33 cuts per minute. The frame rate was also manipulated. "Something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate," said Seale. "It'll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn't understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could. Or if it was too well understood, he'd shorten it or he'd speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense."

Inb4 people say it's a shallow movie and "liking dialogue driven movies" makes them sound sophisticated.
"I don't know what good cinema actually is but if there are long shots of silence it must be profound."

He would've strapped Firestorm and his flaming guitar to the front of a giant Batmobile.

What does black and white add to this film?
Seriously, I've heard people praise it and I have yet to catch the opportunity.
