If you don't have an idea of Dune's worldview, you may only think that this is just another interstellar war type of science fiction movie.
In fact, "Dune" is a hugely informative holy scripture story, the scene is magnificent, looking at the stars, but also attaches great importance to the description of the spiritual level.
The film begins with a narration from the perspective of the Freimans, and the introduction to each novel begins with Princess Irolang, the daughter of the Emperor.
For me, who has read novels, in the process of watching movies, I have always been deeply afraid that the novels make up for the lack of narrative logic of the film plot, and constantly think about whether the film's trade-off for the original plot is appropriate.
It is very appropriate to leave the essence or too greedy to put too many things in, personally feel that the film is quite appropriate, but for the "Dune" worldview without concept of people may still be a little difficult, to brain supplement things are quite a lot, there are many things behind the logic may feel that there are too many blanks.
For example, the novel has a more detailed introduction to the effect and operation of the charm, and the connection with the vein of the Beni Jesser Reed Sisters, it is impossible to have so many pages to explain in the film, but I think that the film successfully creates and conveys the deterrent and mysteriousness of the charm through the clever combination of soundtrack, sound effects and picture rhythm, and maintains the religious, mystic and ritual sense of the dune world.
As a reader of the original book, it is highly recommended to watch the movie after reading the novel, which will have a complementary effect, and I think it can be said that the movie is very faithful to the original.
The elements of civilization, armament, and plot are appropriately selected and re-matched to form a work that conforms to the spirit of "Dune", but is not rigid and subject to specific scenes.
So I knew the general development from the beginning, but it was a lot of fun to watch the movie, especially to see the real flapper, and the fleet of Hacken and Yatridi, the planets of Caledan, the planets of Erlakos, the sandworms, the fat barons, and so on.
I think the mechanism of the flapper in the novel feels more like a bird, but in the movie, it is similar to the mechanism of the insect "Dragonfly", and there are some details of the ship, which makes me feel the meticulousness of the mechanical setting of the movie, and the distillation suit feels much more handsome than described in the novel.
I think the most amazing thing about the film for the reader of the novel is that it is already known that the world of Callerdan and Erracos is different, so when the film presents the different mirrors of the rain and desert scenes of the two worlds, it can not only instantly understand which world the character is currently in.
The impact of the two worlds on human beings is not narrated through words, but through various details, which is really a very meaningful detail.
If there is a pity about the film version, it is probably the choice to simplify many elements of the Beniget Cerred camp.
Jessica in the book can be said to be one of the strongest beings in the entire first episode, but in the movie, she only becomes a slightly panicked mother, many actions and words are too brainless, and the Virgin has also changed from an independent camp to the emperor's lackey, which is really a bit of a sense of influence on the balance of power in the dune world.
Yatridi is also a little weakened, this film also has little space to talk about the actuary, only to see the state of rolling eyes, and later did not continue to appear, but Duncan Edgar's role is very prominent, mostly by the actors of the waterwalker.
I think it is a pity that The feeling of Letcairns who crossed from science to faith and integrated different theories and civilizations of The Way did not fully present the feeling of the emperor in the film version, which is far more influential than the novel version.
The scene of this film is magnificent, the sound effect processing is stunning, not only the picture is very beautiful, the ear should also pay attention to listening to the intentions of the production team, savoring the vastness of the desert and the overwhelming presence of sandworms, which is a wonderful visual and auditory feast.
When I read the novel, I thought, if it is to be made into a movie, where is the most appropriate, the end of the film selection is similar to what I thought, it is the first fusion of Moadiba and the Fremmans, but there are many fewer Tsuenni and Paul, Stiga and Paul, Jessica and Stiga's rivalry scenes, of course, the next episode still has the opportunity to present these things.
The film is very appropriate for religious prophecies, messianic approaches and presentation processes, without too much deliberate length, and without excessive overlapping of realistic religious imagery, making people look forward to the appearance of other characters in the next episode.
The film's portrayal of the Satuka Legion is great, using the existing language Sanskrit to pray and using human blood to draw a pledge, which is really a success in arranging a deep cultural background for different ethnic groups.
Similarly, the way the carry-on barrier and close combat are presented is great, and it doesn't take much text explanation to let the audience understand the fighting culture inside the dunes.
I am very much looking forward to the second part of the movie, but how to plan to gradually visualize such a huge content, and not let the fans of commercial movies feel too vain.
In the dune world, it's quite a challenge, and other production companies can overcome this and give us more amazing work to watch.
