Science fiction coat, religious core

After watching this film, I felt trapped in a mysterious mood. That kind of cosmic religious story brings not only the grand mystery of the universe, but also the ancient and serious atmosphere of religion.

Although it is a science fiction film, I think it is essentially about religion—the religion of the future. How similar is the war in the film to the holy wars written in many religious stories! And many shots can see a religiously sacred and noble atmosphere deliberately created, and some shots are simply moved from the woodcut version of the Bible. The single color of the blockbuster is very surreal, mysterious and weird.

Dune quotes

  • Paul: Chani, all my images of the future are gone! I have to drink the Water of Life.

    Chani: No, Paul, please. I've seen the men who have tried. I've seen how they died.

    Paul: No! I'm dead to everyone unless I try to become what I may be. Only the Water of Life can free what will save us.

    Chani: Paul...

    Paul: I must drink the sacred water.

  • Paul: Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Your time has come! A storm is coming. Our storm! And when it arrives, it will shake the Universe. Emperor - we come for you! We come for you!
