#MAD MAX GUITAR GUY HOW TO#
Mad max fury road guitar guy how to#Īt this point Miller was told by his design team that while they’d figured out how to make the prop shoot flames, they’d neglected to add strings or pickups so it couldn’t actually function, or be classified as a guitar. Miller told his design team to fix this and figure out a way to make the guitar functional and then to wire it up to the speakers on the Doof Wagon. Not wanting to piss off Miller further, the design team quickly added pickups and strings to the flame-hucking base they’d built and connected the whole thing to the wall of speakers on top of the truck. This allowed the guy who played the Doof Warrior, an Australian musician called iOTA, to actually play the instrument and shoot flames whenever the fuck he felt like while barrelling through the African desert atop the Doof Wagon. Although the sounds made by the guitar weren’t ever intended to be used in the final film, Miller felt it was important for iOTA as a musician to be able to hear the music he was playing while he recorded his scenes. Miller also wanted the audience watching at home to know that when they saw the Doof Warrior shredding his little war boy heart out on screen, they were watching an actual musician ass-fuck a real flame-shooting guitar as hard as they could.
#MAD MAX GUITAR GUY MOVIE#
Pictured: Acting.Īccording to iOTA, although the guitar worked, it admittedly sounded like shit, which he felt suited the movie since in-universe it was a cobbled together piece of crap being played by a blind guy strapped to a screaming hunk of metal travelling at 70 mph.I know Fury Road came out in 2015, but I just saw the movie yesterday for the first time. I really enjoyed the film - I feel like the main complaint about "no plot" is invalid because while George Miller certainly didn't spell everything out for the audience, he used subtle cues or more obvious ones (i.e.
"Who killed the world?") to give us context and provide much deeper meaning to the story.ĭespite all this, however, I still can't help but feel that Mad Max: Fury Road is just another action film. I felt that the imagery was fantastic, but I just didn't see anything else "great" about the movie. I thought Charlize Theron stood head and shoulders above the rest of the cast, and I honestly didn't care all that much about Tom Hardy's Max at all. While Furiosa had a pretty typical action story of trying to escape the villain and get revenge/freedom, Max just showed up out of nowhere, was attacked for no discernible reason other than that Joe is evil, and then switches allegiances/mindsets multiple times throughout the movie. By contrast, Nux similarly switches sides and has no real backstory but his obsession with Joe which subequently turned into a feeling of resentment once being discarded makes a whole lot more sense and is much more compelling. I know there's not a dense plot, but I felt I needed more hints or consistency to understand Max's character.Īdditionally, I really didn't like the whole bait-and-switch of the Green Place.
I kind of expected this place never existed, but to have the protagonists overcome incomprehensible odds to reach the Many Mothers only to have them say "we're all dead and the Green Place is gone" seemed a bit lazy to me. Just an excuse to extend the movie in my eyes.
