After watching this documentary, it feels like watching a feature film. When you see it, you will feel that it is some records of the various steps of preparing for the dune shooting. Although sometimes it feels a little boring, but there is a different feeling that supports me watching it, that is, when Jodorowsky pieced together the Dune team in his heart a little bit, I was deeply moved. Because as he said, he is looking for people who can communicate with them in the soul. They are not to accomplish one thing, but more to be united by a spiritual pursuit. They want to communicate with Jodorows Key together to create a great film, it will be trans-generational, unprecedented, arouse huge repercussions, and change the minds of a generation of extraordinary works.

My documentary is about Jodorowsky's creative spirit. For the sake of the dunes in his heart, he planned everything and sacrificed everything he had, but it finally stopped in the early stage of filming. It is a pity that the works that are ahead of the world are strangled in the cradle of the times...

The dune was cut like Paul's throat was cut. The process of filming also completes the interpretation of the dunes in a sense. From Jodorowsky, I also saw the courage to face setbacks. There is always a way to express my thoughts. Even if it does not really appear completely, everything he has created still changes and affects future generations.

extract:

"Something happens in life, you say yes, things pass, you say yes, I didn't make Dune! Yes, we didn't make it, so what? So what? Dune is like a dream Same, the dream that changed the world." While no one has actually seen Dune, you can always hear it in your ears.

Jodorowsky's Dune quotes

  • Alejandro Jodorowsky: I wanted to make a film that would give the people who took LSD at the time the hallucinations that you get with that drug, but without hallucinating. I did not want LSD to be taken, I wanted to fabricate the drug's effects. This film was going to change the public's perceptions.

  • Alejandro Jodorowsky: My ambition with Dune was tremendous. So, what I wanted was to create a prophet. I want to create a prophet... to change the young minds of all the world. For me, Dune will be the coming of a god. Artistical, cinematographical god. For me, it was not to make a picture. It was something deeper. I wanted to make something sacred, free, with new perspective. Open the mind! Because I feel, in that time, myself, inside a prison. My ego, my intellect, I want to open! And I start the fight to make Dune.
