Amid the upcoming screening of "Mad Max: Furiosa" in Korea, directors George Miller and Bong Joon-ho achieved a "dream encounter." In Korea on the 14th, a special stage greeting was held to commemorate the screening of the movie "Mad Max: Furiosa." George Miller attended the event himself and shared his passion for the film with Bong Joon-ho. "I have heard a lot about Korea and I understand that the love of Korean audiences for movies is extraordinary," said director George Miller, starting the conversation. "The 'Mad Max: Furiosa' I just showed you is the only film I edited, but this is what I learned from director Bong Joon-ho," he said, sharing a special episode. On the other hand, director Bong Joon-ho, after watching "Mad Max: Furiosa," said, "There is no need to talk. Inviting the director to see such a scene is the most cinematic thing. I think this excitement is cinema itself," expressing his emotions. Director Bong Joon-ho further revealed that he is a passionate fan of the "Mad Max" series, saying, "I was completely fascinated by the unstoppable sense of speed and action in 'Mad Max 2,' so when I was shooting 'Snowpiercer,' that image was always in my head." "I don't think there is anyone who can express the energy of rampage as well as director George Miller," he praised. Unlike "Mad Max: Fury Road," which depicted a story of only three days, "Mad Max: Furiosa" covers 18 years from Furiosa's childhood. When asked how he differentiated the film, director George Miller explained, "To make the audience feel the passage of time, we used everything available (props and mechanisms). I made an effort to divide the important moments when the characters grow and the influences they receive from the world around them." He also explained his theory, saying, "As the conflicts gradually expand (due to the situation of depicting growth), they are connected to the story, and it is in these parts that the essence of the characters is revealed." Finally, director George Miller commented on his first visit to Korea, saying, "I visited for the first time, finished editing in the morning, and now I am meeting Bong Joon-ho, and it was very enjoyable to be able to talk like this in his home country of Korea. I will never forget today." "Mad Max: Furiosa" is a spin-off film depicting the young days of the female warrior Furiosa, who appeared in the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road." It is scheduled to be screened in Korea in May.
