3. It's The Best-Directed Movie Of The Year
None of Fury Roads achievement in visual FX, acting, production design, and editing would be possible without George Millers direction. Millers devotion to the film, and the pains he took to get it to the big screen, illustrate how personal a project Fury Road really was. Back in the early 2000s, Miller developed Fury Road by making over 3,500 storyboards that laid out the movie in its entirety. Fury Road originally started filming in 2003 until safety issues halted production. Despite this setback, Miller persevered. In 2011, production began again on a 7 month shoot that had to undergo reshoots in 2013. Miller finally delivered his masterpiece in 2015. Fury Road contains almost the same amount of shots as Millers original storyboards, showing that Miller stayed true to his vision despite all the production hiccups. This level of dedication to the filmmaking craft is almost unparalleled. Miller used every trick in the book to make Fury Road a standout picture. His vision seeped into every element of Fury Roads production from the costumes to the editing. Hes already won a number of awards for Best Director; its now the Oscars' turn to reward Miller for his impressive, singular directorial achievement.
