adaptation

I first watched this drama for Yimei. After reading it, I became very interested in the religious and political background of the novel. So I looked at the novel again.
The most important part of the book is not well presented in this episode. For example, premature babies, sororities, and the unity of church and state. The related settings of premature babies mentioned here are very interesting: if a person has all the memories of blood ancestors before he is born, how will he build his own personality in a crowded heart? And how can he avoid being corroded by the past? This problem is not an easy task for Alia, Ghanima, and leto. The novel describes the emotions and psychology of the three people in depth, and the expression in this aspect of the drama is far less than that of the novel. This has caused many people to fail to understand. . . Secondly, the existence of the sisterhood is also very thought-provoking. Feminism, the unity of church and state. But does the blind emphasis on genetic excellence mean real power? In addition, the novel also involves the harmony between man and nature, domination and opposition and other relationships. . In general, the depth of the novel makes the adaptation of the series difficult. The general situation is that the main point of the play lies in the beauty, sandworm, and desert style; the main point of the book lies in its thoughts. And this drama can only be considered a passing score. .

Children of Dune quotes

  • Leto: Alia's water. Take it into the desert and spread it upon the open sand in the midday sun. It is our way. Are you going back to Sietch Tabr?

    Stilgar: I wish to return to our old ways.

    Leto: The deserts dying, Stil.

    Stilgar: And the Freman too, I'm afraid.

    Leto: We're about to go through the crucible, but we'll come out the other side. We always arise from our own ashes. Everything returns later in its... changed form.

    Stilgar: [Leto hands Stil Pauls ring] Your grandfather's ring... and your father's.

    Leto: And now the Fremen's - to remind you of Muad'Dib. To remind you that all humans make mistakes, and that all leaders are but human.

  • Irulan: [obviously afraid as her stepchildren fly her near three large sandworms] Perhaps a slightly higher altitude would be advisable, Leto.

    Leto: Do you know, my father used to love being this close to the ground when he flew?

    Irulan: And you, of course, know this intuitively, don't you? Just like how you knew to fly it without any training.

    Leto: Don't forget your Bene Gesserit training, step-mother. Fear is the mind killer.

    Ghanima: I'm afraid she's about to let it pass through her.
