Going to see this for a second time tomorrow.
“Top Gun: Maverick”
Paramount Pictures
The film pointedly does not mention the “enemy” by name, and there’s been lots of stories in which journalists try to figure out what the rogue nation is. At what point was it decided that the enemy would not be named, and what do you think of stories that posit to know who it “really” is?
The answer is it’s Canada. [laughs] We didn’t want to make this a movie about geopolitics. It’s a competition film. It’s a film about friendship, about sacrifice. It’s a rite-of-passage story. It’s all those things. It’s not a movie about the current state of world events which, by the way, have changed so much from when we made the film. If we had even decided [a country when we made it], it probably would’ve been outdated. The idea was always to make the enemy faceless and nameless.
That’s why in designing this third act, I put it in a world that was not identifiable as, I think, any of the places people are guessing. I liked the idea of putting it in a snowy region, so we shot it in the Cascade Mountains of Washington state to also invert the “Top Gun” aesthetic, to get away from the San Diego sunsets and flip it on its head. To me, that was an exciting way to really change the feeling of the film and make it feel like we were somewhere far away. I know people look at the F-14 [enemy fighter jets] or the fifth-generation fighter jets or the landscape and try to piece it together, but it really is nowhere.

Saw it again last Sunday. Still help up well. Both times I saw were in Dolby format. I'm thinking of going with IMAX if I do decide to see it again.
I watched this that weekend it came out, it was good, but my god i hope these people aren't like this in real life.
