On a scale from 1 to 10, how much did you like Mad Max: Fury Road? We haven’t settled on a shared rate, but we’re definitely not giving it the highest. Heck, if you were to look at the box office figures you'd see why the fourth installment of the post-apocalyptic action film wasn’t quite satisfying for the producers either.
With a worldwide gross of about $375 million, the movie is not exactly the most popular film in town. Just think of Furious 7, who has uglier cars, yet is getting closer and closer to the $2 billion mark.
However, those who have seen George Miller’s pic, probably agree with us when we’re saying Fury Road is complex. From the preparation of the vehicles to the stunts and special effects, everything has been carefully conducted. It’s a great piece of artistry, and it shouldn’t go to waste, which is probably why this filmmaker has decided to add a little spice and pepper to it.
He turned the lights off, sort of speak, as in he cut all the colors off the entire film and turned it black & chrome. Sure, his idea was not original, considering it started with a thing the director himself said back in May. In a Question and Answer session with fellow director Edgar Wright, Miller stated:
“One thing I’ve noticed is that the default position for everyone is to de-saturate post-apocalyptic movies. There’re only two ways to go, make them black and white — the best version of this movie is black and white, but people reserve that for art movies now. The other version is to really go all-out on the color. The usual teal and orange thing? That’s all the colors we had to work with. The desert’s orange and the sky is teal, and we either could desaturate it, or crank it up, to differentiate the movie. Plus, it can get really tiring watching this dull, desaturated color, unless you go all the way out and make it black and white.”
We haven’t yet figured how the copyright works, in this case, but so far nobody asked for any infringements, so we thought to share it with you until somebody takes it down. The question left to answer is whether or not the apocalyptical vehicles look better in this nuance.
