      not so bad

      Recently, I watched the Villeneuve version of Dune first, and then watched the old version. It is said that the old version is quite thunderous, and some places are indeed a bit unfinished. But it is worth affirming that, from an artistic point of view, this movie is really amazing. Full of futuristic imagination. The whole movie is full of steampunk style. That bright color scheme is very bold. Orange hair and green clothes are all master collocations. Sensory stimulation...

      untitled

      The so-called extended version is actually another editing of the later TV show. There are two passages, which add up to nearly three hours. Because Lynch himself rejected several works, the director's name was Adam Smithee, a conventional code name. Bad movies are for sure, and it can't be said that Lynch doesn't have the right to edit, and fans just dump the pot to others. After all, imagined works can be infinitely perfect, but what we evaluate is the only reality. Lynch’s...

      The translation was first published in "Iris"

      Since the "Dune" team settled in, the Churubusco Studio in Mexico City has become different. First of all, the food in the small shop has changed. The original tortillas and hard coffee gave way to spinach pasta and fragrant cappuccino. This is one of the many intercontinental influences brought by...

      The 300-minute version is divided into five parts.
      Very patiently every part of the day, spend five days to finish reading.
      Although I can't help but want to watch it all in one go, I still patiently watch the episode and close it, and then slowly recall those scenes, events and characters in my mind, and the less clear parts become clear. stand up.
      In fact, it is a story of a child born without being blessed slowly discovering his own destiny and choosing to accept it...

      177min. The logic of the earth, the assembly line of events, so that the consciousness of the characters who should be the most brilliant is lost and absurd.

    Pre-shooting

    "Dune" was adapted from the novel of the same name published by Frank Herbert in 1965. The film preparation process was long and difficult, and the director candidates were changed several times. In 1971, Arthur P. Jacobs’ Apjac International film company decided to shoot the film. Because Jacobs was busy shooting other films such as the sequel to "Dream of the Apes", the filming plan of "Dune" was postponed. For a year. The script...

    Evaluation action

    However, the ending of "Dune" is a bit tragic, but director Frank Pavic didn't pay attention to rendering that seemingly unconvincing grief, but rather skillfully developed Zodulowski's memory map. In addition to the humor that comes with Zodulowski's style of acting, the documentary itself also fits with it in this respect. The photo of Hehe Zhile holding a wine glass suddenly appeared in front of you, making people laugh out of their...

    Movie quotes

    • Thufir Hawat: My lord?

      Duke Leto Atreides: Thufir, haven't you heard from Duncan Idaho yet?

      Thufir Hawat: No sire. I have, however, discovered what the city Freemen called out to Paul when we entered the city.

      Duke Leto Atreides: Mahdi... And Lisan al Ghaeeb. Yes.

      Thufir Hawat: It is a prophecy that a young leader will come to them with a Bene Gesserit mother. It follows the familiar messiah pattern.

      Duke Leto Atreides: But Mahdi?

      Thufir Hawat: Yes. It seems it is written that he will lead them to true freedom.

    • Reverend Mother Mohiam: Jessica you were told to bear only daughters to the Atreides.

      [Jessica ignores her, lost in thought]

      Reverend Mother Mohiam: Jessica!

      Lady Jessica: It meant so much to him.

      Reverend Mother Mohiam: You thought only of a Duke's desire for a son? Desires don't come into this. An Atreides daughter could have been wed to a Harkonnen heir and sealed the breech. We may lose both bloodlines now.

      Lady Jessica: I vowed never to regret my decision. I'll pay for all my own mistakes.

      Reverend Mother Mohiam: And your son will pay with you.

    • Reverend Mother Mohiam: We'll salvage what we can. But I can tell you, dear God, for the father, nothing.

      Lady Jessica: [inside her head] For the father, nothing?

      Reverend Mother Mohiam: Did you really think that you could bear the Kwisatz Haderach? The universe's super being? How dare you. My greatest student, and my greatest disappointment.

      [she notices Paul is not sleeping]

      Reverend Mother Mohiam: He's awake. He's listening to us. Good. Ready yourself young Paul Atreides. I want to see you in your mother's chambers in one quarter of an hour.

      Lady Jessica: Paul, this is very important.
