In this world, this is exactly the opposite of what we do. He’s not the bullshitter that you might suspect he could be, because he says exactly what he wants.
Oh absolutely! He has to be that way because we’re in a scorched world where no one can really trust anyone else, and that’s what I love about him. He’s not trying to deceive them, he’s just out for number one (as well as Brenda), and that in itself is more trustworthy. I was thinking about it from the perspective of Thomas and the other young protagonists, and it seems almost refreshingly honest of Jorge to admit that he’s just in this for profit. realizes that this guy has something, and maybe he should try to help them achieve the same goal that deep down he a desire to achieve as well.
Especially when Brenda becomes compromised and gets sick and Thomas is there for her. I think Jorge, in the journey of Maze Runner, starts to figure that out. So for me it’s an analogy of how sometimes we need to listen to our children, or our young people, because sometimes they really are insightful because they’re not as jaded as we are. He’s looking for the freedom place and he starts to respect Thomas more and more because he sees that Thomas has a passion to lead these young Gladers to that same place. He’s not with WCKD, he’s not with the good or the bad but he’s looking… as we find out in the story… he’s looking for the good. “It’s an analogy of how sometimes we need to listen to our children, or our young people, because sometimes they really are insightful because they’re not as jaded as we are.” He says, “Look, where’d you come from, and where are you going, and how I can profit?” Because he’s going to use them to get what he needs to keep himself. I think that Jorge is suspect in the very beginning of these young people because he’s developed a safe haven for him and his people and his Brenda, his beloved Brenda, and I believe that he is someone who really means what he says. So here’s how I think Jorge fits in, because I have four girls who are right in this teenage young adult genre, who are those ages: nineteen down to eleven. And I have a daughter who’s fourteen who really loved the whole sequence of books. Wes Ball, who I really respected after my first meeting with him, who outlined the film for me, encouraged me to take a look at James Dashner’s books, which I then did. I wanted to play the bad guy in the film.
He does, and you know, it was interesting for me to get the role of Jorge.
How do think Jorge fits into that mold? He seems more in line with our heroes than most of the other adults in this movie. There was almost a paranoia about older people telling us what to do. I feel like there used to be a sense in a lot of fiction catering to younger people that adults needed to questioned. I think this movie helps that in many ways. I believe that that’s what they need to be empowered: to know that they have a voice. You know, young people, young adults, they’ve been seeing the movies that take you on the wild ride and the journey and certainly we’re that, but this movie encourages young people to stand up for themselves, to be their own men and women, and to question the establishment in many ways. Giancarlo Esposito: I think this stands out because it is not only entertainment but it’s a film that has some mythological imagery as well as storylines to it. [ Note: Some spoilers lie ahead.)
