To go to all these different climates and these different time zone and try and make a movie while you’re doing it and not get sick and stay fit and healthy and keep your energy up, to keep your mind switched on creatively and intellectually, all these things. No matter if you’re just going there on holiday. That was such a challenge, just for anyone. 10 different countries in six months, you know. Maybe the day I saw my schedule for that first time and I just saw exactly what this movie’s going to involve. I think just getting the movie, to tell you the truth. What was the moment you felt you crossed that line, where you were in new territory for yourself? So I feel quite privileged to have that experience and have it on this movie. I felt pretty privileged that I got to push myself as far as I did, and to really push myself for maybe the first time in my life to really do something, to have something that I feel like I accomplished and struggled through and got to the end of. I’ve never been so committed to something in my life. That commitment to the role and the movie, I certainly was 100% committed, 110% committed. A lot of them are based in chaos and abstract chaos, I guess, is the best word, craziness. There’s a contradiction in his tattoos and I guess that’s the kind of visual representation of the contradiction in himself and the contradiction in his upbringing and where he comes from, the path he’s on. Some of them are based in order and structure. I’m sure people with tattoos, some of them regret some of them and some of them love some of them, but with Utah it’s all been a part of his journey. I think he got a lot of them earlier in his life and they accumulated over time.įor him, it ties into his search for meaning, his search for who he is, his search for the path he’s going to go on which is what the whole movie is about: Johnny Utah finding himself, trying to figure out where he’s going to go in life, what his path in life is. I think the tattoos for Johnny Utah, it’s much like anything. Or, as Bodhi puts it: “We’re all gonna die.What do all of Johnny Utah’s tattoos mean and say? Whether you memorized the first “Point Break” or are completely new to these movies, it’s no mystery from early-on that things cannot end well for “The Bodhisattva.”īut like its predecessor, the 2015 film is more about the morally complex and adrenaline-saturated journey than the final resting place. “I can’t tell you why any one person does it, but for me, I want to evolve as a human being, see how far I can go,” Corliss said.īodhi takes that ethos and pushes it to the brink - and beyond. “Point Break” deals with some similar issues differently: Both the movie’s characters and the extreme athletes who perform their stunts are more than willing to risk their lives for a cause. Well, the tree called “Point Break” is dropping on Christmas - same as the NFL-medical-detective film “Concussion.” That movie portrays a league that, for decades, put lives on the line for the sake of entertainment while teetering between denial and reluctant acceptance of football’s life-altering consequences. It brings special meaning to a question Bodhi poses midway through the movie: “If a tree falls in the woods, and nobody is there to YouTube it, did it really happen?” But more often, their travails are performed among themselves or, at best, made into movies and videos that bypass Hollywood and are distributed straight to the niche audiences that care the most about this stuff. These extreme stars are no strangers to this kind of danger. We pushed the limits as far as we possibly could.” “But honestly, that wouldn’t respect those sports at all. “Sure, it would have been a hell of a lot easier to shoot these scenes on a green-screen stage in Atlanta,” director Ericson Core said. One portion of the filming triggered a Class 4 Avalanche. Corliss called it the most dangerous stunt that’s ever been filmed for a movie.īig mountain snowboarders Ralph Backstrom and Mike Basich joined De Le Rue in playing Bodhi, Johnny and the rest for their near-vertical trip down the Aiguille de la Grande in France. It took around 60 takes to produce a heart-pounding, five-minute scene of the movie’s philosophical antihero, Bodhi, and his wingsuit-wearing posse jumping off the Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps, dodging mountains and skimming just above valley floors on the way to a safe landing. The filmmakers traveled to four continents and spared no expense to shoot the action.
“It made you think that maybe you can earn a living doing something you love.” “For Generation Xers, that movie was an inspiration for us,” said wingsuit pilot Jeb Corliss, who helped with the remake.
