"What is the purpose of life? It is to create a soul for yourself.
For me film is an art, not an industry.
It's looking for the human soul, and like pictorial literature and poetry, cinema is just that for me.
I wanted to make a movie, and when I watched it, it was like psychedelics. It's psychedelic like taking drugs, but it's not a hallucination. I don't want everyone to take drugs and want to create the effect of taking drugs. This film will change the public's perception.
My ambitions for Dune are big, so I want to create a prophecy, I want to create a prophecy, and change the minds of all young people around the world.
To me Dune is like a god, the god of art and cinema. For me it's not just special effects, it's a deeper art, I want to make films that are sacred, free and fresh.
Freed my mind because at the time I felt like I was in prison, my self-awareness and intelligence were shackled and I wanted to break free. "
