Hideo Kojima Is All Praise for George Miller’s Work on Furiosa
Japanese video game designer, Hideo Kojima, is a hardcore movie and literature fan and hence has expressed his thoughts about George Miller’s 2024 action movie. George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga hit the theatres last month. The film features Chris Hemsworth, Anya Taylor-Joy, Tom Burke, Charlee Fraser, and many other exceptional actors.
However, according to Kojima, what’s most exceptional about the movie is the one sitting on the director’s chair. Kojima recently shared a tweet on his X account, mentioning a chase scene which he considers to be a directional masterpiece.
Kojima revealed how Miller made a bike chasing scene a roller coaster of emotions. Kojima even referred to Miller as ‘God George’ for how he manipulated the audience’s emotions multiple times.

Miller directed the bike chase scene in a way that threw the audience into a loop of emotions. No doubt Kojima wrote such a descriptive tweet out of excitement.
Why Is The Bike Chase Scene So Exciting In Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga?
Kojima tweeted that the scene where young Furiosa was being chased by the bikers, created a roller coaster of emotions for the viewers. The scene sees Furiosa running through a desert while a biker is chasing her. This scene itself is enough to make the audience anxious. Just when the anxiety kicks in, the biker falls over and everyone believes that Furiosa is safe now.
Right when the relief kicks in, another biker pops out of the blue and starts chasing her again. This again makes the audience dismayed. Kojima states that this is absolute brilliance from Miller as with a single shot and with no dialogue, he managed to manipulate everyone’s emotions. This is not the first time Kojima has expressed his love for the movie. Here are some of the things he has had to say about the movie so far:
Kojima is evidently quite impressed with the movie and considers Miller a genius. Even so, his interest in the movie can be misunderstood as marketing since it is not doing too well in terms of box office collection. Whatever it is that has gotten the video game creator so invested in this movie is working and might favor it positively.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is in theatres.
