Game director Hideo Kojima has a line in his self-pen bio that says "70% of my body is made of film", but he has long been a sideline in film criticism. You can even buy a book that collected some of his many works, in which my favorite anecdote was his memories of seeing a taxi driver as a young man, after which he decided to dress like Travis Bickle: I wish I had a picture.

Kojima had written for many magazines in both Japan and the West: PCG Brand Director Tim Clark apparently always arrived well and poor on wordcount

But recently Kojima went directly to the public via Twitter and fortune-telling the tea leaves of how he posts is very fun: mainly because he knows something. If he admired it a bit, he liked it, but when Kojima starts to break down excessive punctuation and thematic jokes, he knows he's going to Gaga. A personal favorite is his Dune 2 Review:

"Even as a movie fan, I was starting to think it was time to start watching movies on my smartphone or tablet. But when I saw "Dune: Part 2", my hard thinking crumbled like sand! [...It captivates the aesthetics with the destruction of a spectacularly beautiful layer. The film is called "This is a movie!""And we provide the "spices" we need to live. This masterpiece of Dennis can become a "resistance" that significantly delays the spread of subscription services.

One of his cinephilia threads is his dedication to the work of George Miller, a broad director best known for Mad Max movies (that he also directed Babe and Happy Foot amuses and impresses me).1 Miller's latest film is Furiosa: The story of Mad Max, and guess who descended himself into the picture and loved what they saw to an absurd degree.  

"I witnessed Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," Kojima said. "This movie, which easily surpasses "MAD" and "FURY" in the past, is in its "MAX" (masterpiece)! Since I saw my first film when I was 16, George Miller has saved me, encouraged me, and changed my way of life many times. He is my God and the saga he says is my Bible.

This is clearly a high praise from those who seem to consider themselves demigod, but George Miller can say that Kojima is quite obsessed with one man Kojima previously called Miller "my most revered God" and "exhibited on the shelves of my "God" after he left himself to the limited edition Mad Max anthology. It will be.The Japanese director is excited to boyish to the oblique reference that Miller refers to him in the book, and the documentary about the struggle to make Mad Max: Fury Road is about Kojima "crying to see it at work."

"George Miller is my ultimate mentor," Kojima said of rotten tomatoes. "I went to the cinema to see Fury Road 17 times."I keep saying that he first met Miller right after he left Konami," he cheered me on in my darkest hour."The 60-year-old Kojima also observes that while there are older people in the game industry who are in producer roles, they feel "lonely" as creators and directors. It cheer me up."

There's definitely something to disarm about seeing a doomed figure like Kojima is basically obsessed with 1 of his idols. Almost inevitably Kojima was able to cast Miller in Death Stranding 2 (and the trailer that comes after one of the key characters in the Metal Gear Solid series is called Master Miller, posting a video of the director praising Natch). At the time of writing, Kojima is attending the premiere of Juliosa: The Mad Max Saga, and happily hugging George Miller on the red carpet.
