The movie "Dune 2" has made a lot of adaptations compared to the original book.
The most adaptation is the role of Cheni.
In the novel, Cheney's identity is more complicated, she is not a purebred Freman, but a half-breed.
Her father is Dr. Leet Keynes, an Imperial planetary ecologist, who has a deep affection for Arrakis and the Freymans, and is very local.
Rett married the sister of Stilg, one of the leaders of the Fremen, and gave birth to Cheni.
After the film adaptation, Dr. Leet Keynes is transformed into a woman, and there is no mention of her relationship with Cheney, and Cheney's setting is changed to a purebred Feleman.
In the novel, the character of Cheney is more like Paul's vassal, she is Paul's lover, has always supported and loved Paul, and has never disagreed with political views.
After consuming a large amount of spices, Paul gained the ability to foresee, and in foresight met Cheney, his future love.
With the destruction of the Atreides family, Paul and his mother Jessica enter the desert and are sheltered by Stilger. It was then that Paul met Cheney for the first time and was convinced that she was his true daughter.
A flame of love ignited between them, and Cheney soon gave birth to Paul's first son, but the child was killed in a struggle between the emperor and the Fremen.
Cheni was heartbroken by the loss of her son, and Paul promised her that they would have more children in the future.
Even though Paul soon announced that he would marry Princess Ilelang, he also promised Cheney that in the future Ilelang would not have any of his children and would not receive any of his warmth.
Cheney was willing to be a concubine for Paul, bent on giving birth to a child for Paul, and prayed for a son from the Lord of the Desert, but in fact, the queen secretly gave her birth control pills, and later Cheney died after giving birth to twins.
After the film adaptation, the female character of Cheni has become richer and more three-dimensional.
She is no longer a tool for Paul's lover, concubine, and fertility machine, but a woman who truly has an independent personality equal to Paul.
When Cheney first met Paul, he was actually dismissive of the boy, not believing him to be a Lissan al-Ghebe or a savior.
Interestingly, Paul himself did not believe in it at that time, he did not want to be a savior, but seriously became a Feleman warrior, surviving in the desert and fighting side by side with the Fremen.
Cheney was purely attracted by Paul's bravery, and his attitude changed from disdain at the beginning to admiration and affection.
When their love developed, the values of the two people were basically the same.
Paul saw in foresight Cheney's death, which would have led to such consequences if he had traveled south, so Paul initially refused to go south.
But under the constant call of the force of fate, Paul had to go south and drink the water of life.
If before he drank the water of life, Paul saw only fragments, after that he could see more and more completely.
Countless consciousnesses entered his consciousness, countless images, the past, the future, unfolded in his consciousness, and Paul gained a higher level of foreknowledge and inherited his destiny.
Paul changed.
But Cheni hasn't changed. She was the one in that crowd to stay awake throughout.
Even though Paul was her lover, she was nervous and trembling when she learned that Paul was dead, and she was devastated, mistaking him for death.
But as soon as she realized that Paul was just deliberately following the prophecy and taking the rumors spread by the Beni Jesserit sisters here in real time, Cheney became enraged and slapped Paul hard and left.
In the ensuing battle, Cheney did Paul's bidding, but as she told Mrs. Jessica, as a member of the death squad, she was fighting for her people, not for Paul.
When Mrs. Jessica campaigned for Paul, and the Fremen saw Paul as their savior, Cheney was the only one who stood on his side.
If Cheney is a tool man and a love brain in the novel, then Cheney in the movie is a female character who maintains independence and sobriety, and can mentally compete with Paul.
Director Villeneuve's adaptation of the character of Cheni can be described as very successful.
First, such an adaptation makes the character of Cheni richer, more complex and three-dimensional, and also makes the plot more tense and increases the conflict between the characters.
Second, if you copy the original book to create the character of Cheney, she is a love brain, willing to be a concubine for Paul, and does everything possible to give birth to a child for Paul regardless of life or death.
On the contrary, after the adaptation, when he saw Paul promise her that he would love her forever, and at the same time turn around and announce that he would marry the princess, Cheney's expression was too complicated, containing too many emotions, disbelief, disappointment, and anger.
While everyone shouted shouts of their god, Cheney went out alone and came to the desert to summon the sandworms.
What will happen to the character of Cheni?
This can only wait to be revealed in the third installment of Dune. However, after this adaptation, Cheney's setting of being Paul's concubine should have changed, what will she do next? Is it possible to divide a small group of independent armed forces that do not blindly believe in Paul, but belong to the Felemen themselves, and fight against Paul?
After such an adaptation, Cheney's character has become more exciting and variable, which makes people look forward to the next plot development.
Moreover, it has injected a spirit of independence that cannot be ignored into the development of the overall situation, and it is more likely to develop into a force that cannot be ignored.
If there is no Cheney, the overall image of women in the movie is flat, and even Mrs. Jessica, who has a very heavy role and role, is just an important tool woman to promote Paul's ascension.
But with Cheney, the portrayal of women in the "Dune" film series is suddenly much more colorful, and in the course of this grand and unstoppable historical process, Cheney is a precious retrograde, she jumps into this vast history, and becomes a variable.
