. There’s an entire movie, “Jodorowsky’s Dune,” about how he never got to shoot his version.
Director Denis Villeneuve has chosen to adapt only the mechanical first half of the book into “Dune: Part 1,” a risky move as it requires Villeneuve to build some visual eccentricity of his own to push the story along. It’s a sci-fi movie on a big-ticket blockbuster scale akin to the lengthy two-part finale of Marvel’s “Avengers” movies, but here Villeneuve manages to make something that is grand in terms other than sheer length and plot complication.
At the center of all this is Chalamet’s Paul, a casting choice that confused me until I saw how huge and hostile Villeneuve had made everything and what a stark counterpoint he had in this skinny, doe-eyed, prettily unkempt actor. Paul has to grow into his role as leader of men, and Chalamet is callow and boyish; it’s hard to imagine him acquiring any of the gravitas that Isaac radiates as his father. Watching the film, I realized that this is Villeneuve's point.
Lynch’s “Dune” adaptation from 1984 is both unwatchably clunky in its pacing and a kind of surrealist almost-masterpiece. Lynch was given a huge budget , and Lynch fans may find it fascinating to watch what, exactly, an avant-garde director does with all that cash and a sci-fi novel. It’s a movie that both begs to be remade and one that sets the bar impossibly high.
THINK I watched it on HBO Max yesterday. It was too confusing for me. Visual affects were first rate.
THINK The movie drips with orientalism. You can try to hide the racism with music and cinematography, but the film is nothing more than a privileged westerner going to an exotic land to be the messiah for the indigenous people. A mix of Lawrence of Arabia and European Jesus Christ.
THINK Can’t wait!
THINK The NBC News compliments Bill Pulte because they think he does good, for the people who are in need. I've sent several emails, stating Bill Pulte $20,000 from me and my winnings. They have yet to make a correction. Being scammed hurts.
THINK Great review,sounds interesting.
