Building ‘The Electric State’: The Russo Brothers Share Their Vision
Electricity status It is Netflix’s latest big science fiction adventure movie. The film was adapted from the film premiered on the Ribbon on Friday Simon Stålenhagdystopian graphic novel. It brings viewers into an alternative version of 1994. In the context of a country, it is in a very different United States, still blending itself together after the civil war between robots and humans.
If this sounds bleak, it’s because the original theme is exactly that. Stålenhag’s story, like most of his works, is filled with beautiful images that make up for the sad narrative.
In electric state, Millie Bobby Brown Plays Michelle, a young woman who ventures into the apocalypse of Maw to find her missing brother. The remnants of robot war garbage make the mission feel impossible. Until she meets Keats (played by Chris Pratt) and his robot assistant Herman (Anthony Mackie). Together they face a group of strange characters and reconnect with her younger brother and perhaps human beings themselves.
If this sounds a bit schmaltzy, that’s it. This is the design. You will see that the tone of this version of Electric State (now the most expensive movie Netflix has made) is completely different from the tone based on the Beloved Book. This tone shift has been an incredible point for many critics. However, there is a clear reason for this change.
Just like a producer friend, what I want to say is Have a meeting. This is a collective decision made by the Russians with Stålenhag. In a Zoom conversation with Joe and Anthony Russo, I started our talk with this topic, which turned into a deep insight into the long process of bringing the electric state to life.

Millie Bobby Brown plays Michelle in Electric State on Netflix.
“What we like most about the state of electricity is the artwork and themes,” said Joe Russo. “But, as parents, the themes – these themes – are topics about technology and addiction to technology – for younger audiences, they are more addicted to technology than younger audiences.”
Accessibility is key. It’s not just the Russo brothers who feel that way.
He continued: “Simon Stålenhag also has children and agrees.” “So we came to this conclusion. You can tell a story in any tone and you can move in any direction. The joy of adapting is that you adapt it into a new form. So it is the purpose of shifting the tone: to attract a younger, wider audience.”
During the entire movie’s run time of more than 2 hours, two themes relapse: the disconnection of humans is due to the technology in our daily lives and the implementation of dopamine addiction that follows. explain Kendrick LamarRussia told young viewers to “turn off the TV.”
Chris Pratt is Keats and Millie Bobby Brown is Michelle’s electric status on Netflix.
But how do they determine the fact that they are communicating this message to reduce the fact that they have to view on the screen to reduce screen time?
“There are only a lot of ways to reach a wide audience,” said Joe Russo. “Whether it’s a movie screen, a TV screen or a mobile screen, I think they have both positive and negative. In many ways, you’re disconnecting from the world to watch a story. If at the same time, the story, and at the same time, attract attention to the overuse of narrative, this may be the way we intend to escape: In the fact that we realize ours, it’s our authenticity, and our further is our realization, and that’s our realization, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s our part, and that’s
It is worth pointing out that this is not an anti-technical promotional film. It’s too easy to go in this narrative direction. Anthony Russo agreed, saying, “The message of this movie is not, Don’t use technology. ”
He continued: “This movie is about our contradictory relationship with technology and the fact that there are positive aspects of technology; you can find real human connections in technology, but you can find the opposite.”
Chris Pratt’s Keats and Michelle of Millie Bobby Brown’s with robots Herman and Cosmo are in the electric state of Netflix.
He cited two examples from the film to support this claim: Keats’ true love relationship with his robots Herman and Michelle for the technology-liberating brothers.
I can’t discuss electric status without talking about charming visuals. It is safe to say that there are more robots in the movie than actual characters in the movie. Addressing such creative challenges means working relentlessly to ensure the look and feel of the technology. I will admit that the difference between actual effects and CGI is difficult. This is an achievement in itself.
So how much is digitalized, how much is it? I don’t have exact statistics. “Any time an actor interacts with a robot, we throw these robots,” said Anthony Russo. More specifically, they sent talented motion capture actors to play these robots.
“They are practical, completely limited actors, they trained for weeks and rehearsed for weeks and helped us develop these characters for weeks before hitting the scene,” he continued. “In terms of how they move, we have the performers playing these robots on the spot.”
The development of these unique robot characters has not stopped here.
“Many robots are expressed by famous actors,” said Anthony Russo. “We will show these actors the concept art we have for the characters, we will remove their sound performance, which we will use using the motion capture troupe.”
The finished product is here two years after post-production, during which more complex digital graphics are implemented. “It really took a long time for the post to make these things look real, like there,” Anthony Russo said. “There are a lot of layers, and it’s a promise of very real tactile seizure performance between the robot and the actor.”
Robot Apocalypse looks a little different in Netflix’s Electric State.
It has been nearly three years since Anthony and Joe Russo began shooting electric state. Throughout our speech, it’s easy to see how their connections to the subject and to each other stay connected with each other in their love of conveying their emotional love through the story. As Anthony Russo said, this is the connection he wants audiences to experience while watching movies.
“We think this could be a powerful form of human connection, and of course, it’s an important theme in the film,” said Anthony Russo. “How does it come together? How does it gather friends? How does family cross generations? Can it share common experiences for people and then engage with each other in terms of emotions or intellectual thought? The theme of the film is the idea that we want people to achieve from the experiences that people can gain from films in general.”
Anthony Russo laughed in the laughter of his brother, saying with a sincere smile: “It really puts us in the movie first.”
