Mad Max With Its Visual Effects Worker
So I went and saw Mad Max a second time with one of its visual effects workers, and we had some pretty cool discussions about the movie. He also let me flip through a storyboard book he was given really fast and so here’s a list of a bunch of stuff he told me…
• Angharad’s scars are from self-harm
• The scenes were filmed in order of how they appear in the movie
• Rictus Erectus’ baby head necklace represents that he has the mind of a child
• Mother’s Milk is turned into cheese
• Someone cut off Furiosa’s arm so besides that she’s completely healthy
• Immortan Joe is the most powerful out of himself, Bullet Farmer, and People Eater
• The Bird People (the ones on stilts in the Green Place) eat crows
• Rictus is pretty much immune to pain
• Originally History Woman/Miss Giddy was going to be killed by Joe to symbolize that he doesn’t care about the past, only the present where he is powerful
• On the original story boards there was going to be a scene where the wives are sitting in the War Rig and singing to each other
• The flashes of Max’s daughter represent his fears trying to escape so that Max can accept himself
• When Max is watching everyone go across the salts and his daughter makes him hit his head, for a brief instant her face turns into the face of the guy who shoots Max
• Nux imprinted on Capable and loves her because she was the first person to show him true kindness. They have more of a strong platonic bond than a romantic bond
THIS IS SO AWESOME
