The Unconventional Career of Director George Miller

[@FrameVoyager]

What is your favorite George Miller film?

[@JJBrosEntertainment]

Mad Max: Fury Road:) just watched it for the first time recently! Can't wait to watch Furiosa! (Idk if I spelled that correctly)

[@FrameVoyager]

Mad Max was great! I liked Furiosa a lot as well. Sad it might be the last Mad Max film we get

[@Vlogger23]

Fury Road but Road Warrior definitely a close second

[@producedbypodcast]

Mad Max! 🌵

[@amy_yoshikawa]

Furiosa is my only George Miller favorite movie. I love what he did with the story.

[@Mauidemigod249]

One of the greatest directors ever, Furiosa is his another masterpiece! Amazing movie

[@Tracequaza]

how does this only have 7k views, that quote about how mad max 2 was inspired by international perspectives of the first film is incredibly inspiring and I'd never heard it before, thank you!

[@Cotygeek]

Lorenzo's Oil is actually a really important movie to my family because my youngest son has the disease depicted in it, ALD. The good news is that treatment has improved exponentially since that movie came out to where boys with ALD, if treated soon enough, have a real chance at a normal life.

The actresses who played the Immortan Joe's wives deserves so much appreciation for their acting. Given that the majority of them were models and Mad Max Fury Road were their big break in the film industry (especially the woman who played Cheedo, Fury Road was her film debut), they did such a phenomenal job. So happy that George Miller didn't used them just for a pretty face image, he actually gave them cool characters to work with. I just love how random Miller's casting choices often are 😅

[@CINEMARTYR]

Furiosa was just so damn good, such a shame about the box office.

[@DKD76]

Nobody asked for a furiosa movie Nobody cares about furiosa spinoff People wanted a mad max movie

[@javiercortes814]

I have watched Happy Feet over 50 times lmao. I was obsessed with it when I was kid. It felt so different to other animated movies made for children.

[@producedbypodcast]

The fact he did Mad Max and Happy Feet is mind blowing 😆Very talented director though, the world of Mad Max is stunning. I just wish Furiosa met higher box office success. 🍿Amazing video as always, John! 🎬

[@cindytartt4048]

I love this director. In 1995, when I was stuck in a Brisbane hospital, he just walked in! Turned out it was actually my new doctor, a gastroenterologist called Francis Crimmins (now retired). A true doppelgänger. You see, I had no idea Miller studied medicine. 😀

[@ericg1100]

George miller is crazy- but all geniuses are. Mad max 1+2 and fury road are absolutely amazing. Even his failures are grand. But mad max one and road warrior in particular, are INCREDIBLE especially for the time they were made; the stunts alone are insane.

[@Rick-l6e]

Second or third row in the front at the drive inn movie, just pass the playground (wife said WE ARE BRINGING THE KIDS)as the commercials were starting so was the orange barrel. With the kids in their pj's and pillows and blankets we all settled in to what was going to be a unique journey. While the wife hid her eyes behind her hands the kids fell asleep because it was way pass their bedtime and I just sat there amazed at what I was watching. As I remember it was about midnight before the movie was over (The first one was something silly about cowboys and dinosaurs) (Double Feature) Anyway, the movie has been imprinted into memory because George Miller is a Genius. Just for anyone who read this and did not understand "Orange Barrel" was at the time the go to hit of acid

[@ericg1100]

@@Rick-l6e i am lucky enough to have a drive in close to my house now, i was able to see Furiosa there. Awesome experience

Great vid. Thanks for taking the time to shina a light on Miller, he's a true artist.

[@RaphaelRemington6969]

Mr Voyager your videos are so well done

[@KingOfMadCows]

Babe still has the best talking animal effect. No other movie has topped it. The "live action" Lion King cost like $200 million to make and the talking animals in it look soulless and emotionless compared to Babe.

[@FrameVoyager]

Honestly I had no idea until making this video how crazy it was 👀

[@Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast]

Lorenzos Oil is George Miller's masterpiece, next to Fury Road. Please everyone go watch it.

[@Absolynth]

I would like to be a storyteller like him some day.

[@MB832]

Can I get a count on how many times you used a quote that was in Blood, Sweat and Chrome?

[@FrameVoyager]

Hmmm... I don't think we sourced from that. Mostly a lot of interviews and articles that we are referencing from. Not surprising there are similar quotes though, you usually see a lot of repeated lines because of how often they tell the same story over and over

[@James-qt6mb]

great video

[@Alanx_ai]

Great video. Miller is a genius filmmaker. Not many can claim to essentially invent an entire genre. Many conclude Furiosa would have worked better creatively if Miller decided to continue with Mad Max as the protagonist. I share the opinion that Mad Max always worked with forward momentum not backstory, and core fans wanted to see Mad Max, not being shoved Furiosa's backstory. Creatively that didn't work for many fans and it was a reason the film underperformed.

[@magical571]

i mean, many of the critics of fury road complained at the lack of backstory. But one could say, cater to your fans not your haters. Though in the end all that really matters is, for the creators involved, to be making the film they really wanted to. at least in my eyes. i would never ask for a certain product if it's not really what the creator wanted.

[@EyesOfByes]

I'm saving up for a 115" inch tv when GTA VI comes out, plus gonna watch Fury Road and Furiosa on that thing

[@mickael486]

it's odd how some of your best videos don't get more views. Do you have a Facebook page?

[@FrameVoyager]

Honestly, this one got released a little late. I try and get these out around when films release and the directors are trending.

[@iamkubrick]

Why didn’t you go into his experience with the Twilight Zone movie? His segment is considered its only saving grace. What happened in that film and his business partner also dying in a helicopter crash the same year had a massive impact on him. With his name ( along with Spielberg ) also being dragged through legal and newspaper scrutiny.

[@FrameVoyager]

Yeah, we're doing another video on that whole film 😅 It's kind of a weird film tbh, meant to mention it but forgot to add that to the script.

[@josiahnsonsproductions8735]

Love it

[@randyscottslavin]

Wow The Witches of Eastwick!

[@jahpunk7092]

Hmmmm.... this video is missing any mention of George Miller's contribution to The Twilight Zone Movie (1983). Most reviews of it cite his segment to be the best of the 4. And those of us who are interested in "genre" films like horror we champion it. Kinda a big flaw in otherwise a well-researched biography video. Oh and Mad Max Beyond THunderdome wasn't solely directed by Miller---and it may show in the end work. Simple adjustments to this video's narrative would make it more...excellent..

[@FrameVoyager]

We thought about talking through the "Twilight Zone film" but since it was kind of a multi director segment film and the controversy around the death of the actor and children we are working on for another video, decided to not delve into that section. I meant to mention it at least in the video, but forgot to add that in. My bad!

[@theroebuck123456789]

Evil Dead and Mad Max are one of those films to me whose making of is far more interesting than the final product

[@Rick-l6e]

no matter how old i get i will always think that a little female nudity can go a long way at the box office, not porn but a there is always room for some beautiful women. Watch Reindeer Games with Charlize Theron, good movie but Charlize naked in the pool made it a GREAT MOVIE!
