The documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune", with a dense and passionate tone, leads the audience to trace back a masterpiece from the idea to the prototype to the The process from the semi-finished product to the premature death is not without emotion.
Jodorowsky is probably a talented and maverick director. After his several works "The Mole" and "Holy Mountain" that subverted the inherent thinking concept of human beings were well received, in the early 1970s, He began to work ambitiously to bring the sci-fi classic "Dune" to the screen.
Probably born with the factors of innovation and innovation in his blood, Jodorowsky conceived an extremely grand dream from the very beginning, and it was like a gamble that he wanted to put this dream into practice. As an imaginative, daring to use talented rookie producers, charismatic to recruit a group of big names (such as Dali, Orson Wilson, Mick Jagger, etc.) The director of the card, Jodorowsky, who needs a large amount of production funds, can't escape the fate of hitting the wall everywhere in the Hollywood financiers seeking profits.
Looking back at those passionate creative ideas and whimsical ideas back then, it is indeed full of bizarre and changeable imaginations that surpassed that era. The philosophical and artistic appeal to the film has risen to an unprecedented height, but such an unprecedented blockbuster film died prematurely after two years of preparation and a lot of budget. Reflecting on the reasons for its premature death from a modern perspective, it is probably due to the overly advanced consciousness, wild horse-like ambition and huge production costs that made the capital side feel out of control, and then discouraged, so it seems that such a movie could have created a peak of a sci-fi kingdom. The work was "naturally" shelved by the Hollywood bosses who put their interests first.
Although Jodorowsky's "Dune" died prematurely, the character setting, setting and even the shooting concept made by the film crew for this work were distributed to you through the book by Jodorowsky at that time. The golden master's heavy "Dune" planning book has been circulated in today's light and shadow science fiction world. The audience has found those familiar "remains" in many films, from "Alien" to "Prometheus", almost Every important sci-fi themed work has been nourished in the well-illustrated "Dune" planning book, and its vitality has grown under the unfulfilled and powerful soul. In this sense, the stillborn Jodorov Skye's "Dune" has transcended its form, continuing its value in the form of a soul, which is exactly the same as the spiritual power achieved after the death of Paul's throat-cut hero in "Dune".
