Hailed as "the world's hardest science fiction novel to remake", Dune finally landed on the mainland big screen on October 22 and became the highest scoring film of all the new hits at present.
However, according to a random interview by the Jimu News reporter in the theater, while most fans praised "Dune" as an aesthetic epic and a visual feast, some people were confused after the show, "What about the revenge of the prince? ”
Play with the sense of ambience
If you've ever been blown away by the spectacular sci-fi atmosphere created by "Arrival" and "Blade Runner 2049", then "Dune", also directed by Denise Villeneuve, must also be the "dish" that meets the aesthetics of your movie.
Many fans of the original book are obsessed with letting the audience understand the world view of "Dune" before going to the movie, after all, it is the top science fiction masterpiece that has won both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, and in the eyes of book fans, it is "the Lord of the Rings in the science fiction industry".
But considering that there are as many as 6 original books, the worldview created is extremely complex and grand, and fans only need to remember these points before watching "Dune": the movie story takes place ten thousand years later, human beings can freely travel between interstellar stars, and the major planets are unified under the management of the royal family; one of the planets is rich in "spices", rarer than contemporary oil, and those who get "spices" get the world, so the forces of all sides are foolish; the male protagonist Paul Erridi is from the nobility, is the legendary savior, and his father was assigned by the emperor to take over the "spices". But it was involved in the whirlpool of royal power.
Douban netizen "Xia Shu" gave "Dune" such an evaluation, "The photography and composition are really beautiful to the point of aphasia. This is a work that you will sincerely think, 'It's great that movies can be invented.' This sentence has been liked by thousands of netizens. The 150-minute "Dune" is as beautiful as wallpaper, every soundtrack is moving, and every special effect is the icing on the cake, providing the audience with the most advanced aesthetic and atmospheric film of the year in 2021. Some fans have used the phrase "Watching Dune now is like watching "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968" to describe the futuristic and artistic foresight of the film. Under the enthusiasm of these fans, "Dune" received a Douban score of 7.9 points, becoming the new film with the highest score on the current major theater schedules.
Some people feel lonely to watch
Just like many fans feel that "Arrival" is not as good as science fiction films, "Blade Runner 2049" is over-styled, and "Dune" is also disliked by some fans, and even gives a low score of one star and two stars. Combining the opinions of these fans, they think that "Dune" looks like an annual movie feast, but in fact it took 150 minutes to shoot a lonely film, "I originally thought it was to see the prince's revenge, but after watching it for 2 and a half hours, I told me: The story is about to start..."
Indeed, because the worldview of Dune is too complex, involving religion, philosophy, superstructure and other aspects, the film is not a strong plot advancement, but with the greatest patience and respect to reproduce part of the original setting. If the audience is expected to take the "20 minutes to fight a war, 30 minutes to die a wave" commercial film rhythm, it will indeed feel that the movie is too dull, slow, and even feel that after watching a 150-minute trailer, "Understand, the prince is revenge in "Dune 2" ..."
Fortunately, even if the audience is no longer satisfied with the narrative rhythm of "Dune", they should be satisfied with the "value ceiling" of the actors of the film. Every pore can stand the test of the big screen "sweet tea" Timothy Challemet, the temperament of the Swedish beauty Rebecca Ferguson, "X-Men" Oscar Isaac, "Guardians of the Galaxy" "Destroyer" Dave Batista, Spider-Man's "girlfriend" Zandaya, "Aquaman" Jason Momma who conquered the world by hormones, "Thanos" Josh Brolin, Asian male god Zhang Zhen... Buy a ticket for their faces, and it doesn't seem to be a loss.
