Back to the movie "Fury Road", the pairing of Tom Cruise and Charlize Theron is full of gimmicks.

Although limited by the subject matter of the film, thanks to the strong box office appeal of the two superstars, the film grossed 7409 million US dollars in North America in its first week, which is a very good figure.

More importantly, the film has a very good reputation, and many media and online bloggers have given it positive reviews.

Gilbert Jr., who is currently filming "Avengers 2" in Europe, took time out to watch "Mad Max: Fury Road" in Europe and accepted an interview as soon as possible.

“The film’s real highlight is certainly not the story, but the literary drama that is so concise that it’s almost imperceptible is really enjoyable.

Car racing and action scenes run through the entire film. Even though you may feel a little tired at the end, your adrenaline levels will continue to surge.

The key word of "Mad Max: Fury Road" is crazy, and the entire film is made around this word.

Whether it is editing, character design, racing action design, actor performance, special effects or even art soundtrack, etc., there is a cult-like madness, which makes the film highly accomplished. "

Gilbert added: "I personally think this is a pretty good movie, the actors' performances are great, and it's worth going to the cinema to see it.

What worries me personally is that director George Miller has not been in good health.

I hope he stays healthy and we want to see more movies like this.”

George Miller was born in 1947 and is now 67 years old. But in fact, many directors can still have a second spring and create glory at the age of 70.

Steven Spielberg, who is one year older than George Miller, has also been continuously releasing new works in the past two years. In addition to serving as the producer of "Jurassic World", he is also working with Tom Hanks on "Bridge of Spies".

In addition, he accepted Disney's invitation to serve as the director of "The BFG".

Clint Eastwood, who was born in 1930, also brought his latest work "American Sniper" this year. The film has currently grossed more than 5 million US dollars worldwide.

It can be seen from this that as long as one maintains a strong creative experience, the profession of director can maintain a long career.

The main thing that restricts George Miller is that his health is not very good.

However, most directors start their careers in their thirties, and there are many who get their first directing opportunity in their thirties or even forties.

The only exception is Little Gilbert. If you didn't know about Little Gilbert's experience, who would have thought that the 44-year-old Little Gilbert is already an experienced director with 23 years of experience.

The age of 44 is considered the golden age for directors.

This is why, although many media outlets are promoting the idea that Gilbert Jr. is on the decline, not many people believe it. Age is an advantage.

Let’s take a look at the movie releases next year. With the official announcement of "Avengers: Age of Ultron", the rest of the movies have also been announced one after another.

Marvel Studios has already completed filming of "Ant-Man" and announced that it will be released on July 7. This movie is the finale of the second phase of the Marvel Universe.

At the same time, Marvel Studios also announced that several series will be launched on Disney Drama Channel and Xigua Video, including "Agent Carter" Season 1, "Daredevil" Season 1, "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Season 2, etc.

Marvel later announced several film plans and even announced that Spider-Man would return to Marvel movies.

Because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did not meet the expectations of Sony Columbia Pictures, Sony Columbia Pictures decided to cooperate with Marvel Pictures to develop a new Spider-Man movie and integrate him into the Marvel Universe. The opportunity for Spider-Man to return to the Marvel movie was Captain America 3: Civil War.

Kevin Feige once discussed the content of Captain America: Civil War with Gilbert Jr. At the beginning, Marvel actually planned not Civil War but The Society of Serpents.

The main storyline is that Captain America Steve Rogers tracks down his good friend Bucky, exploring how Bucky regains his sanity, faces his past crimes, and rebuilds their relationship.

The writers introduced a Hydra villain named Baron Zemo.

And designed a key prop Madbomb, the anger bomb, which originated from the comic "Captain America" ​​No. 193. It can make people in a specific area fall into a state of rage through sound waves, triggering a melee between ordinary people and superheroes.

The original script hopes to explore the ethical issues of civilians becoming enemies through Madbomb. For example, when ordinary people attack heroes because of out-of-control equipment, should Captain America take extreme measures?
However, this setting was considered too similar to the Angry Bomb plot in "Kingsman: The Secret Service", and Marvel executives were worried about being accused of plagiarism, so it was ultimately rejected.

Later, Kevin Feige discussed with the directors of "Captain America 2", the Russo brothers and Gilbert Jr., whether the content of Civil War could be brought to the big screen.

Kevin Feige believes that with Spider-Man's copyright returning to Marvel, this is an excellent opportunity to expand the worldview of the Marvel Universe. It is also the first time to tell the story of the impact of superheroes and drastic changes in the world on ordinary people at the film level.

For Gilbert Jr., the previous film "Captain America 3: Civil War" was generally a success and was verified.

So he certainly wouldn't choose something that hadn't been verified, and agreed to Kevin Feige's plan. After Ant-Man, the content of Captain America: Civil War was decided.

Of course, Marvel still needs to coordinate with the actors.

An interesting thing about this movie is that after it was released, it sparked a long-lasting discussion about who was right and who was wrong.

Supporters of Iron Man and supporters of Captain America fought each other fiercely, and the argument on this topic continued on the Internet until "Captain America 4" failed.

However, no matter how people argue, few say that "Captain America 3: Civil War" is a bad movie, so the film has also achieved huge success worldwide.

Controversy is actually a good thing, as long as the degree is controlled.

After "Captain America 3: Civil War", a series of new superheroes appeared, including "Doctor Strange", "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", Sony's "Spider-Man: Homecoming", "Thor 3: Ragnarok", "Black Panther" and other movies.

The announcement of this series of plans has made Marvel movie fans very excited.

However, some media and film practitioners have criticized that Marvel movies have completely destroyed the Hollywood ecosystem and led Hollywood onto an unhealthy path.

To this, Marvel and Disney just want to say: it’s all about money.

Seeing Marvel launching its own movie universe plan in a grand manner, Warner Bros. under the leadership of Kiri Ross was unwilling to relax and also announced a series of plans for the DC Universe.

Including movies such as "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", "Wonder Woman", and "Justice League".

However, the difficult thing for DC is that since Gilbert Jr. left, Kiri Ross completely denied Gilbert Jr.'s original plans for DC movies.

But she herself hadn't figured out how to make a DC movie, so Warner Bros. and DC were arguing over whether to make it, what to make, and which superheroes to make an appearance. (End of this chapter)
