I've been watching "Dune 2" for a month, and the majestic scenes of the overwhelming desert and the shocking music accessories often make me have endless memories and tears. I know that's where cinematographer Denis Villeneuve's great creative fascination comes to the screen of the original author Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel of the same name 50 years ago.
Let's talk about it again, this colorful sci-fi masterpiece that I like -
1. Paul's growth was impressive
Paul is played by Timothy Chalamet, known as Sweet Tea, whose natural noble royal blood is destined for his fate as a "child of destiny". He was naturally beautiful, sincere and brave. A handsome young man born into the royal family of Atreides, he never imagined that his powerful royal background would be wiped out by the combined army of Emperor Padishha and the Harkonans. In the midst of a frenzied sandstorm, and in anticipation, he assembles an army of giant insecticidal riders to take revenge on the Huck man and challenge the imperial family. He tamed the 400-meter-long behemoth hidden in the sand dunes - insecticide, and he drove the giant insecticide to calmly walk in the flying sand and rocks, invincible, and the spirit of heroism ran through Changhong. His growth was impressive in the face of adversity, with firmness, courage and swiftness. As a result, he also won the love of the Freman warrior Chini (Zendaya Coleman).
When the catastrophe of the death of the country came, Paul completed the transformation from a noble boy to a man, especially in the later period, after he drank the water of life and his eyes became the same blue pupils as those of the Fremen, he gained the ability to know the past and the future at the same time. After his mother became the Virgin, she helped him to advance to become the savior of the Fremen people, Lissan Algheb, and the prophet Adrak. Everything went according to this, gradually moving towards the throne of the emperor of the new empire.
2. Cheney's cuteness is not inconsistent
Cheni's position is that she is an ordinary female warrior for oppressed civilians. The distance between her and Paul's original class is huge, one is a common man and a wild girl, and the other is a noble and handsome prince with the emperor's order, and he can't fight together with eight poles. But Paul's family is suddenly wiped out, his father is killed, and he and his mother (Rebecca Ferguson) have to run away to find an opportunity to save the family's fate. They traveled to the planet of the Floran natives, and with the help of the precious spice resources of the planet Dune, the best weapons to control the forces and control the power, they launched a plan of revenge against their enemies, Harkonnam and the Padisha Empire.
Cheni's strong advocacy against oppression and freedom, she saw Paul's sincerity and sense of equality, and she fell in love with the prince charming in her heart. I wanted to run to freedom and enter the world of two people who were not controlled by others. But Paul became a savior step by step, getting farther and farther away from the ideal life in her heart, and she finally brushed her sleeves away, and she did not miss the life of an emperor.
This image is very cute, I am who I am, and I don't want the person I love to become the king of all. She saw with her own eyes that Paul despised Saddam IV, made him condescend, and proposed a marriage with the princess, and she was not happy, don't you love me?
Although Paul brilliantly confessed to her: I will love you forever, but I will choose her". The audience understands that loving you is obedient to my heart, and choosing her is the inevitable "savior". Men, career is always greater than love.
Cheni doesn't appreciate it, you choose her, and I leave in style. This medieval romance is coming to an end at this point, and Cheni's wild character will not be like in Chinese palace fighting dramas, staying in the palace to share her lover with other women, that is not her character, I praise her. The truth of love is not humble, such a personality woman in the era of cold weapons is admirable and unforgettable.
3. Top villain, you don't have to be too handsome
Fans who have watched "Dune 2" are praising Austin Butler's villain Petty Field, who is the nephew of Baron Harkonnen, who has the same stunts as Paul, and only one of them can ascend to the throne. As a result, the top masters of the pros and cons have a life-and-death contest.
Feide's appearance was terrible, his eyebrows and beard were all shaved, and he saw a pair of cold eyes, shining with an unstoppable fierce light. Compared with the black and white film used in the sword process, it is even more cold and murderous. Within a few rounds, Feld was stabbed by Paul's sword, there was no suspense, and the "savior" Paul was the chosen son, Adrak.
Unlike our previous life experience, this villain is so handsome that he will never be forgotten by the audience, and some say "the coolest villain in history". The casting of the director of "Dune 2" is really unique, which is embarrassing, and it seems that the "chosen son" is none other than Paul.
4. The story of the revenge of the prince never goes out of style
Some people say that "Dune 2" is an American version of the Prince's Revenge, and I completely agree. In Shakespeare's The Revenge of the Prince, desire produces sin, and sin leads to killing and death. The destruction of Paul's family, he and his mother set foot on the planet Dune to save the family from danger, and this ancient story of life and death is not telling the story of this ancient game of life and death.
The hand-to-hand combat in the ancient civilization, the swords, guns and crowds tactics in the era of cold weapons, and the artificial intelligence painting style under the framework of science fiction narratives are integrated on the big screen, creating a bizarre and magnificent dune planet melee. It is both ancient and strange, drenched with knives and guns, and flesh and blood, as if writing the majestic and arrogant seven characters of "nothing new under the sun". Large, the fate of the Dune Empire in the universe directed by Denis Villeneuve is in a fierce struggle.
There are many evils in the world, the planet is full of wolf smoke, desolation and loneliness, Zhou Zheng and vanity, conspiracy and killing, justice and revenge, under the cycle of religion, "Dune 2" staged the tragic epic drama of the vast and majestic sand dune planet.
Good looking, enjoyable.
