What I want to share today is the upcoming "Dune", the original "Dune" is a novel work, a must-read classic in the history of science fiction on the list of books that everyone must read in their lifetime.
Why?
Because "Dune" has been selected as one of the 100 books that Amazon must read in a lifetime, the National Public Television Science Fiction Fantasy Top 10 and many other honors, and won the title of outstanding science fiction novel of the twentieth century.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > how bumpy Dune was before it was published, and how hot it was after it was published</h1>
This work, which can be said to span half a century, was completed in eight years by the famous American writer Frank Herbert.
The first film, Dune, released in 1965, won the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award, known as the Oscars.
One thing that has to be mentioned about Dune is that Herbert was able to devote herself to his collaborative career thanks to his wife's full-time job as a department store advertising copywriter, and she was responsible for the family's livelihood throughout the sixties.
Dune was rejected by twenty-three publishers before publication, in part because of the thickness of the manuscript, Dune had two to three times the word count of other science fiction novels at the time, which meant that the printing cost would increase greatly at the time of publication, and the retail price would also increase.
Another important reason is that they are worried about the intricacies of the novel and the strange words that the author invented at the beginning.
They felt that this would slow down the pace of the story, and the reader would most likely not be able to see it after reading a hundred pages.
After several twists and turns, Dune was finally first published in hardcover by Hilton Books in 1965.
The final sales were not very good, but it caused an instant sensation in the science fiction world, and this Dune was hailed as one of the greatest science fiction novels of all time.
Subsequently, the author published the Savior of Dune in 1969, the son of Dune in 1976, the God Emperor of Dune in 1981, the infidel of Dune in 1984, and the temple Dune in 1985.
The whole series consists of 6 works with a huge world view.
As early as 1984 and 2000, it has been made into movies and albums, and has also been adapted into a number of computer games.
A 2000 strategy game called Dune Magic Castle, as the originator of this type of game, it was changed from the Dune series of novels.
Every year at the Comic Con, there are always a few middle school teenagers cosplaying in this book federman.
There are even condiment companies that openly sell condiments labeled with the spice Mei Lang Zhi in the book, and the sacred beast sandworm in the book has long become a classic image that various game comics compete to take and transform.
Herbert was an influential science fiction giant in the United States, a master alongside Asimov. His position in scientific literature is like Thatrkin's position in fantasy literature, and no one can shake it.
He is also a science fiction writer who popularizes ecology and systems thinking, and he teaches science fiction writers how to give ideas to science fiction.
Dune is not only a macroscopic backdrop, but also a political, religious, philosophical, historical, human evolution, ecological technology, and the interplay of complex human feelings, the fate of Paul's family, its planets, and the fate of its planetary natives.
How did "Dune", as a work with so many elements and a lot of honor bonuses, not change the film and television work? Let's talk about it
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > the same bumpy road to film and television in Dune</h1>
It has not been adapted into film and television, of course, it is indispensable to the magnificent setting of "Dune", which makes the difficulty of film and television change beyond other science fiction novels.
In 1971, film and television companies began to buy the rights to "Dune" and were preparing to adapt it, but jacob, the producer in charge of the project, suddenly died.
Then, in 1975, Zodon rofsky from Chile planned to adapt the work "Dune", and he gathered a lot of people like the famous painter Dalí Rolling Stone Orchestra lead singer Nick Gagar, the authoritative rock band Pinkflight, the designer H.R. and the French comic book master Giraud to create a team strengthening plan, which eventually failed due to budget problems.
And Jodulovsky has never given up on this film and television work. Unfortunately, reality forced him to finally give up, and in the end, he also made a documentary in 2013.
Of course today we will not look too closely at his affairs.
Dune then fell into the hands of alien Ridley Scott, but for some reason, Scott eventually left the crew to focus on Shooting Blade Runner.
Later, he invited the surrealist David Lynch and successfully built it and released it in 1984, but the final box office and word-of-mouth were unbearable.
And David Lynch also admitted that this film is the failure of his film career. In some versions, he also replaced his name with a pseudonym.
The film and television road of this novel is indeed not so smooth, and it has been made into miniseries and games since then, but it has not attracted many people too much.
Finally, in 2008 in the 21st century, Paramount Pictures bought the film rights to Dune and appointed Peter Berg of National Superman Hancock as director. Two years later, Petersburg announced its withdrawal from the remake program.
Later, Paramount Films also announced that it had invited Piermorell, the director of Ali Films, to direct Dune, but abandoned the adaptation plan of the Dune film in 2013.
It wasn't until 2016 that the rights to Dune belonged to Legendary Film and Television, and then Invited Blade Runner 2049 director Benny Wernaff and Dune screenwriter Eric Cross, who won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay for Forrest Gump. I believe it leads to a more rhythmic storyline.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > where the plot of the movie "Dune" was adapted</h1>
This new Dune movie story is adapted from the first half of the dune novel in the novel series, which means that there will be a sequel after that, if the box office is good.
As a reader of the science fiction classic "Dune", he constantly pointed out that "Dune" is not like science fiction, some people say it is a fantasy novel, some people say it is a historical novel, and some people say that he is a medieval knight novel. In fact, "Dune" is indeed a complete science fiction novel, and it is an outstanding representative of soft science fiction.
What is soft science fiction? It is relatively hard science fiction, the laws of science and technology physics in the works are reduced. Frank Herbert added to science fiction the ecology of formal religion, philosophy, history, and human evolution, as well as desert ecology.
Before that, science fiction works were biased towards the technical level, and did not pay attention to the character building, storyline, and other mainstream literary factors.
In other words, previous science fiction novels were written about things, centered on things. Herbert writes about people, and people are the subjects, so "Dune" has a landmark significance in the history of science fiction literature.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" what is the story of Dune >? </h1>
The story of "Dune" is set in the distant future of human beings, human beings have long left the earth, and the scope of activities extends to the entire universe, but human beings seem to live in the Middle Ages, but human beings live on different planets with their families or surnames.
What created the future isolation of humanity was a 20-year-old Butler Jihad that took place before the Guild, a war between humans and artificial intelligence.
At that time, AI technology developed rapidly, not only with human thinking, but also became a necessity for human life. The human beings who have long relied on artificial intelligence are unable to resist, and they are occupied and enslaved by AI, and then humans restart their own evolutionary path to find their ability.
After a long and fierce battle, artificial intelligence was finally defeated, but after this battle, humans made two important decisions:
One is to ban all machines that are similar to human thought, including all forms of computer thinking machines and robots.
The second is the key skill points, compared with science and technology, human beings are more inclined to the development of spiritual power, and human beings have restored the system of Caiyi.
The elements are known to come from the rule of the Galactic Emperors of the House of Kronor. Under the emperor was the head of the major families. Each family has one or more planets on which they live, has its own armed forces, and stockpiles a certain number of nuclear bombs.
In the first part of Dune, Emperor Pattitsa rules the entire Starry Sky Empire by relying on the imperial system. Instead, there are two powerful forces:
Monopoly of the space transport industry, the space union with strong financial resources, and the relatively independent princes of the whole galaxy.
The most famous element in the world of Dune is spices, which are the most precious substances in the universe, a bit like the oil we have now.
Without spices, space navigation would be difficult. Spices are the most powerful hard currency in the entire universe. Taking spices can enhance certain functions of the human body to an incredible degree.
It is able to prolong lifespan and even gain predictable superpowers if taken in sufficient doses. Astronauts flying spaceships in space travel must inhale large amounts of spices in order to predict a safe flight path.
However, spices are also a medicine. As long as you take a small amount of spices, you will have a severe dependence and will not be able to leave the spices for the rest of your life.
1. Ferocious Spice Guardian Sandworm
A desert planet named Orax, also known as the play's name called Dunes, is rich in spices.
Therefore, the Desert Star is dominated by the people who dominate the lifeblood of the universe, and Dune has the local indigenous People Fehrmans, that is, the blue-eyed people who appear in the trailer. They drank too many spices, their eyes turned blue, and they were violently exploited by the Haknam family.
Author Frank Herbert created Ferraman in a unique Dune ecosystem that also includes details such as language, religion, culture, customs, and class.
Although spices are the most newly produced raw material in Erracus, it is a very difficult thing to mine. Like all legends that have dragons guarding the treasures, Spice has its guardian, Sandworm.
It is a huge cylindrical worm-like creature, extremely large, and can even exceed four hundred meters or more in length.
The mouth is about eighty meters in diameter and is filled with more than a thousand fangs.
As soon as he grew, their skin was covered with roughness, the rock-like scales were orange-red, and the skin under the scales was much softer and could be easily injured.
According to the legend of the Fehrmans of the planet Erracus, there are still huge sandworms more than a kilometer underground, but it has not yet been confirmed, and the sandworms usually live very deep underground.
Moreover, without eyes and nose, they can feel their surroundings through the tactile cells distributed on the soft epidermis of the head and tail. They can sense the ground by the creep of the dust surface.
Accordingly, the local indigenous people used irregular steps to deceive the sandworms.
The Fairmans believed that sandworms ate sand. In fact, they eat microbes in the sand. They feed in the desert, like the blue whales on Earth, swallowing large amounts of sand and then digesting these microbes.
However, blue whales expel seawater from their bodies, while sandworms do not need to do so. Their powerful digestive system can even break down and digest inorganic substances. The hard outer scales on the surface of the body are composed of inorganic substances.
Water is very harmful to sandworms. If a certain amount of water is absorbed, the sandworm's body will become unstable and its physiological functions will stop. This is a very painful death process for sandworms.
In addition, water will make his body cells fuse. The liquid that flowed out of his body was a deadly thing called the water of life. The Water of Life was used by the Benigest Sisterhood to train their members, and only those who survive by drinking this poison are eligible to become Virgins.
2. A sisterhood of millennia of heritage
The Benekwester Sisterhood is a very important mystical organization on Dune. Cultivated, members of the organization
You can issue commands to manipulate others on a subconscious level, and you can plan your language, body, and expressions to quickly capture others in order to analyze whether they are lying.
The Supreme Leader of the Sorority, the Virgin Mary, will get the memories and consciousness of each Virgin by drinking the water of life, but this is not the most powerful, and their best part lies in their ability to control the body, not only to control every part of their body and even nerves, but also to control whether they can give birth to boys or girls.
In Dune's story, the Sisters begin a breeding program. For a long time, their goal was to produce a male member through meritocratic students, and to call this chosen person Kovižaki Hatnache.
He will be able to see everything in the past, present and even the future, and become the ruler of the universe.
Most sisters do not know who their parents are, and sisters may arrange for their members to marry close relatives to establish a genetic advantage.
The mother of the male protagonist in the story, who is the will of the Sorority, is organized to marry his father.
She must also give birth to a girl for the Duke, but when she later discovers that she is truly in love with the Duke, she disobeys the order and gives birth to the male protagonist Paul and disrupts the plan of the organization.
Jessica trained Paul with the sorities' lessons, hoping that one day, Paul would become the legendary Kwezaji Hatnaki.
3. The family lineage of the male protagonist Paul
The male protagonist's father is the powerful Duke of Leto Ertridi.
The home planet of the Ertridi family is a beautiful, watery planet on the planet Karadan, and the Emperor has always been a thorn in the duke's eye, so he pretends to accept control of the Erax galaxy.
But in fact, they want to use their old grudge, the hand of the Hakonam family, to eliminate future troubles. The Haknam family, another powerful family that originally ruled Dune, is considered a brutal ruler.
Discovering that his ruling planet has been taken over by the Reto family, he begins a conspiracy to regain Dune rule, while also planning to eliminate the Erridi family.
And our protagonist, Paul, is the heir to the Ertridi family. From childhood, he left his hometown with his family and moved to an unfamiliar itinerary with a harsh environment.
At the heart of Dune's story is an interstellar version of The Prince's Revenge, and our gifted teenage protagonist Paul is not a dish.
He was once trained by a general named Corney Hallek.
Kony Halek was a general of the family and one of Leto's right and left hands. He was a soldier and a bard. And in the movie, we're about to see him playing him as george brolin, whom we know.
In the trailer we can see the special energy shield they used, the same shield that appeared in the 1984 film. That look is very funny.
In "Dune", there are actually qiang cannons, and there are laser qiangs, but once the laser hits the shielding field, it will cause nuclear weapons. This shield must allow oxygen to pass through so as not to suffocate the wearer, so it can allow objects of a certain speed to pass through.
This is also why this universe, though with super-imaginative technology, in which people use almost exclusively cold weapons of this sword
Because this is how to break through the armor, this is because of the special properties of the shielding field. Let the battle scenes in Dune combine a sci-fi and a retro feel.
Leto's other right and left hand is Duncan Edward, played by Jason Momma. Proficient in swordsmanship and the art of war, he is basically the most powerful swordsman in the universe.
He considered himself a vassal of the Ertridian family and was entrusted by the Duke of Reto to meet with the Stilga Fremmans. He also protects Paul and the Ertridi family at all costs, and also has a crush on Ms. Jessica in the book.
In addition to the Duke's two right and left hands, in the background of the original Shakespeare story, there is an outstanding important figure with a diamond-shaped logo on the forehead for imperial pretreatment.
Imperial pretreatment is similar to an operation, which requires the removal of the desire to kill in the heart, like the extreme magnification of the good side of the human heart in order to save people for a lifetime, without violating their own patients.
The pre-treated people in the story tend to work as doctors, a profession that requires the complete trust of the employer, and they are only employed by wealthy families and groups, which is why the private doctors of the Erridi family are trusted by the family.
Dr. Yue, played by Chinese actor Zhang Zhen, is a character who has been pre-treated by empire.
4. Indigenous People of The Fremmans
The black tights worn by the Ferremans who come to the sand-filled Dune planet are called distillation suits, and their noses are equipped with a hose that looks like a respirator.
Because of the drought and heat of the planet Erracus, water has become a valuable resource here, which can not only dissipate heat, but also filter and recover the water lost by the human body. Stored in a bag, even walking in the desert all day will lose very little moisture.
The one who wore a well-functioning distillation suit, kept it well, could even dress himself and survive in the desert for weeks.
Another very important profession is that after the holy war, human beings have banned computer artificial robots because they are afraid that artificial intelligence will return.
But because of the need for computing and strong analytical skills, so began to specially train a kind of person, they can imitate the computer, exercise super memory and cognition, can also quickly screen a large amount of data, and make information processing analysis judgments, such people are called Menteit.
They were often the right-hand men of the aristocratic royal family. Many Mentets often take a tree root, a high-energy drink extracted from the tree root, called sharks.
Drinking it can boost brain power, but the drink also leaves a crimson mark on their mouths.
5. Gorm sting test
The first part of Dune can touch the passage of this test. The Madonna of the Sisterhood would use this thorn to force Paul to put his hand in the box, and could not take it out during the test, the needle was highly poisonous, and the box at the same time had the effect of stimulating and inducing nerves, making people feel extremely painful.
The protagonist will feel that the skin of the hand placed in the box is being burned and the muscles of the whole area are roasted. Although this box can cause great pain, it does not cause real physical damage. If he reflexively pulled his hand out because of pain, the gorm thorn would make him scream for his life.
The Sorority believes that this test can use consciousness to suppress this instinct to endure pain, and that successfully passing this test will become a big thing.
6. The Hakenam family
This family is the nemesis of the Etradi family, and the family responsible for dune and spice production long before the Etradi family.
Beast Laban was the nephew of Baron Feladimir. In the original works, the Baron preferred his other nephew, Federosa, and planned to give him the erax.
However, there is no news yet on Federer's cast, and it is possible that Villeneuve will merge Laban and Federer into one to simplify the role.
The planet inhabited by the Haknams was a heavily polluted planet, so the Haknams were not used to the sun, and in that era they had to wear special clothing to protect themselves, and their armor was more like a space suit.
Haknan were ruthless invaders and colonizers, but they were still limited by the environment.
In the trailer, they are pale, sick, bald, and wearing black dresses. In the trailer, we can see the dark black of the Haknan people's homeland. In the trailer, we can see the powerful and brutal Haknan army, and we can see that the Empire's Sadoka is the emperor's elite army. Dressed in light uniforms, they attacked the Etradi family with Haknans.
As the first part of the Dune series, due to the large number of characters in the book, the focus of the first film was not on introducing nobles and characters. Perhaps in the second film we can clearly see the role of imperial power behind the tragedy of the Ertrid family.
In this film, there are a number of best actors or Oscar-nominated Timothy Challemet as the film's main character, and Cynthia plays the film's heroine Tsuennie. Its supporting characters include Javier Balden, George Brolin, Oscar Isaac, Ribeka Ferguson, Lamplin, Batista and Jesson Momma, the sea king.
There are also more than one hundred and fifty soundtrack films nominated for more than ten Oscars by Hans Zimmer. Arguably the most anticipated movie to watch in 2021.
