Think about the expectations.
Nine years ago, you released maybeone of the best films ever made.
And now, youre going back.

Not just to that world, butto that story and those specific characters.
His answer was fascinating.
you’re able to watch it below and read after that.
I hope so, Miller told io9 when asked if he lived up to expectations.
The truth is its really interesting to me.
Its one of the excitements.
One of the things that keeps me doing it is that.
You tell a story.
And you cant tell.
You cant predict it.
And I found thats always been the case.
Miller explains why peoples reactions to his films fascinate him.
And thats become not only How do we tell stories?
but Why we tell stories?
Why are we hardwired for stories?
And thats been something that still keeps me going in the process.
Then, in typical Miller fashion, he got even deeper, dipping into his incredible wealth of knowledge.
Basically, the Venn diagrams overlap to some degree, he continued.
So he made a comment.
If it was bad, it is my fault because Im the storyteller.
If it was good, it belongs to everybody.
Which is exactly why this point of the story is one of the most interesting parts of it.
I probably will only watch the film one or two times more with with paying audiences.
And then I want to see what people make of it, good or bad.
They will read according to their own worldview what the film gives them or what they take from it.
And basically that used to take up to 10 years.
On the first Mad Max it took me 10 years to see what it really meant to people.
And now thats accelerated.
So thats really interesting to me.
Hes waiting to hear.
