At that time, Zuo led possibly the most powerful film team in history to write, plan and design the sci-fi epic "Dune". The team included the screenwriter who later became the soul of "Alien", the father of Alien, the famous painter Dali and even Austrian. Jason Wilson, such a masterpiece left five million dollars short of filming, and then it was just rejected and passed away. If this plan had not been made in the past, Star Wars would not be what it is now, the aliens and blade runners would cease to exist, the Matrix would be nowhere to be found, and the whole of Hollywood would be completely different from what it is now. And if this film was made, then the current Hollywood blockbuster system is likely to completely cease to exist. The film never started, but it changed the entire history of cinema. In the last part of the documentary, Director Sao roared at the camera: "Money is meaningless. Movies have their own heart, their own thinking, their own strength and ambition. I just want to make such a movie, why not?" After the roar He was caught in a grief about the injustice of the world, and I wanted to cry. The director has ambitions. He took such a small step away from the greatest sci-fi film in history that could change the world, but he was thrown into a trough. Everything no longer exists and can only be recalled with a sigh. But he was never defeated. Through the filming of this documentary, he revived the passion of his previous years, and he began to come back. The new film "Dancing Reality" was the slogan of his return. He put his own Dune concept book Leave it to future generations, leave this endless and profound treasure to this world, and move forward with great strides. "If something happens in life, you say yes; when things pass away, you say yes. We didn't make Dune, OK! So what? Dune exists in a dream world, but this dream changes the world!" In the end, the director left a message for us, "Why don't you have ambition? Have the greatest ambition possible, do you want to be immortal? Fight for immortality! Do you want to make the best movie? Go try it! If you fail, It doesn't matter, we need to try, do it!" 8.8 ★★★★☆ The Most Awesome Movie of the History of Cinema. Too Bad We are Never Going to See It...

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.
