Dune (Denis Villeneuve, October 1, 2021) Movie • Page 69

this isn't a question but @spiffa0 said no questions!

 

It wasn’t a question. Like you said. What’s the problem?

now would be a good time for people who felt something to share what that was.

 

Totally agree. No judgement on those who loved it, but I watched it when it was first on HBO Max and I already remember nothing about it

 

Reported

 

Narc.

 

You know it

 

I think it helps reading the books/ knowing where this is going. Source material isn’t exactly full of action though.

 

Probably, context is always helpful. But the movie should be able to stand alone.

 

It’s why I wasn’t really a fan of this being “Part 1”

 

I really enjoyed the movie a lot, but I am a pretty big fan of the book, and for me, the book is all about the writing and how the story is told, not so much about the plot points that happen. I don't necessarily see any way around this, but the movie felt to me to be a fairly surface-level presentation of the plot points that happen, albeit in a grandly realized manner and with a stacked cast and technical perfection across all aspects of filmmaking.

I guess that's all just a long way of saying that I loved this movie and found it to be incredible, but I understand how it could end up leaving a movie viewer feeling cold.

I see some of it as a shortfall of the medium, as in a movie vs a book. One specific example is how when you present the story this way - and chop the story in half to boot! - it ends up really casting the white savior thing into the spotlight, whereas I feel like the book is using that trope in a purposeful manner and providing commentary on and criticism of it in a manner that it is almost impossible for a film to do, especially a modern, big budget, blockbuster film like this version of Dune is.

I do realize that they have another entire film to finish telling this story.

 

I've never read the book and I thought the movie was great. Just throwing that out there, in case you guys need to point to an example. Me. I'm your example.

 

won best score and best film editing

 

best sound also

 

show won’t start for another 15 minutes and dune has more of these awards than the last DV movie, damn

 

Production design brings them to 4 already

 

Really makes me mad they’re wasting so much of the show on these terrible monologues. Would’ve been nice to see them win them on the stage with the crew going up

 

Oh well the sound win just happened

 

Killing it

 

wow crushing it
