The Australian director Geroge Miller, head of the “Mad Max” series, has come to the Festival of San Sebastian to pick up the Fipresci Award given for lifetime achievement Film.
We had the opportunity to speak with him the past, present and future of his career.
was surprised that a man of 70 years has more pulse action a young man …
I still consider myself a young man. We had a very good team, including specialists. But it is a film that goes against the laws of physics, everything is real, people, cars or soil is real. And we were going to shoot in Australia, where I live in Sydney, but it rained for the first time in 50 years and what was a desert became a flower meadow. So we waited until it dried and not dried, so we went to Namibia, Africa, where it never rains. And the hardest to shoot the film, part was every day for 130 days with specialists, and were very large scenes. There was a lot of anxiety that someone will get hurt. He had to watch everything we did, but luckily there was no injured person.
(George Miller with Charlize Theron on the set of” Mad Max: Fury Road “)
How has combined the part live action with CGI?
It’s the story itself that tells you how you should do it, so if there was a physical effect and we could do, as men with poles in the car, because we wanted it to be real. I enjoyed the digital part with Babe and Happy Feet, which are completely digital, but if we could shoot without a computer and real way, we did real. Of course, we could not do the sandstorm in the same way, so you had to use the most appropriate tool to execute that plan. I was interested to see that we could do, though it was physically tiring. I am very curious about the process and that’s what attracted me to the film, which is still not part of my job. When I started working was a doctor, he enjoyed being a doctor, but when I made my first film at a time when making a film was very difficult hooked me so much and my curiosity led me to this race.
How the scene of action is perfect wheel?
Good question. Number one, you have to play with the cliché, take what is normally seen and find a way to make it interesting. Number two, work with very good people who are willing to prepare. Number three being open to the possibilities open to you while you do it. You can change the weather, be dust, be prepared to possibilities despite your preparation. And number four, think hard where you want the camera and think the transition from one plane to another. You’re like a composer with the music and make progressions. All action movies are music to me. We tried to compose a musical number. The camera is the most important, if the camera is not in the right place to capture him is a waste of time.
Do you think it is starting to delegitimize the CGI for more spectacular productions?
I think the CGI has meant that people have lost the sense of I believe it. There are people like Guillermo del Toro, almost everything you do is with puppets. This does not mean that the CGI does not help. You can tie people to not fall, you can do things you did not, but you have to do something that is real. The human brain has the ability to detect what is real and what is not effectively. So I checked with animation. In almost everything we see, with the budget and so on, that people try to go further and do things in real action.
It is of the few directors of action that has a feminist message, treats women differently why?
First, as I’ve said it before anything you want to do action has to be real to be a cliché but having something different. And then you have to leave history. In this film the conflict and struggle there is the five lives that are escaping from a man who wants to reproduce them. It was not money or drugs or a bomb that would destroy the world, it is a human conflict and they need a hero. And I could not be a man, because if there would be women like a man stealing another man, then had to be female. Thus, in the structure of the story it came out that the figure had to be female, did not want to put heroin in the middle, but out naturally.
In 1985, when he made Mad Max : Beyond Thunderdome, the future was a little more apocalyptic now
In the first, oddly enough, I wanted to tell the story of a cop who had lost? his family and ended up becoming a kind of avenging angel. But the original story was set in the modern world, but the budget was so small we could not afford to have no extras on the street, no buildings or locations in a city so we rolled on empty roads and abandoned buildings because it was much cheaper. Then we started saying “in a few years” and that is how emerged that the post apocalyptic movie. It was accidental. In the second we saw the potential it had this world and we were excited with the idea. We realized that we had accidentally entered the collective subconscious. And he was the warrior salesman looking for a meaning to life, as in the old western. And by the time we got to this film the background has changed, for instance, in 2005 I was in India and was where I first heard the term “water wars” and in Kashmir were fighting basically by the water control.
(George Miller and Tom Hardy)
How works a reality filmmaker to him different expressions to the film itself?
It is very interesting. Because I believe that all stories are allegorical, and this more than most. And the interesting thing about this film it took to make is that when we write the film in 1990 and 2000, the Warboy were based on the Japanese kamikazes of World War II. In the film they are named, and then came September 11 and had a new number of suicide bombers. Another issue is the chastity belt is something I saw in Venezia. It is a very interesting symbol that Max is just a blood bag as in Kosovo, abducted people to have a particular type of blood. Then you’re picking up interesting things through history and give them back. Then, the audience, interprets as his view of the world. And that’s the nature of metaphor or allegory. That’s for me, perhaps to another is different. The interesting thing is that the patterns are repeated throughout history, over and over again. And for example go to the palace of Kyoto, where the emperor was, and buy the same structure used to protect the powerful. The interesting thing is that we move forward in time, but become like a medieval era.
What recording format you feel most comfortable?
never worked with a large IMAX camera, but with this film the large chambers were not in the vehicle. I like the smaller digital cameras because you can put anywhere and break (laughs), because they cost you almost nothing. 3D love. Trying to create three-dimensional spaces although we record in 2D. We are always moving the camera in and out of the screen. Even in the first Mad Max, where you have very small angles with the camera, all looking closer to the target to create the feeling of 3D. The short answer is that anything that keeps you immersed in the movie is what I like. When I go to the movies I like to sit and absorbed by the screen.
Will it take to shoot the Justice League could never do?
The problem is that I have other films that I do. One of the problems of my age (laughs) is that I have many films to shoot and little time to do them. And I want to make a small film with no special effects and no specialists, I have several movies but do not know what will be next.
How the world has changed since the first movie Mad Max?
One of the more interesting when things make this movie. Not only has technology changed, has not only changed the world, but the way we behave as cinema audiences has changed. Now we read the language much faster. Now there is a blockbuster double planes than there were in the 80. Everything we read faster. We learn to read images rather than the written word, and is a language that has only 100 years. From the first Mad Max is a very big evolution as we read the language. There is a kind of monoculture in the world. For example, I was in a village near Somalia and women were covered with the burqa and as time passed and they got used to us, I shook and worn under shirts Madonna.
