Fury Road up there with classics like The Thing in terms of all the delays etc making it much better. Some shyt you just gotta sit on and really plot out and plan. George Miller had mfers on and off in south african deserts for like 3 years shooting this shyt. He also had visuals in mind from the jump, iirc he storyboarded most of it before he even had a script and it shows. A lot of straight up visual storytelling instead of exposition. This was always his strong suit though if you go back to the first two movies but he basically perfected it with FR. A master honing his craft even at that age.

shyt reminds me of a letter Kurosawa sent to Bergman for his 70th birthday telling him a human being isn't really capable of creating "good works" until he reaches old age

:wow:

Also I try not to be one of those pratical > cgi guys but Fury Road shows you can really blend the two, and really push CGI in some great directions (that storm) but you gotta have a fukking vision. You can't just write it off and send that to some post fx studio.

Brehs, go to 17:50 of that video and tell me that ain't the craziest shyt ever. I mean, the guy being flung through the air is a specially crafted dummy but still just look at how fukking real it looks.:damn:
