DUNE 2021 movie-only quick review

[alnair_tair]

Went to watch Dune and liked it! It ended just when I was getting super super invested which… ouch, and it also has “issues” but it’s just so very pretty and epic and weird! Dunno if I’ll read the books just now or wait until we know if there’s gonna be or not a second part! But the film is recced! Although it was weird to hear everybody dubbed XD These days in my home I just watch subbed.

Also the toros everywhere just sent me and my friends into fits of laughter bc when you’re watching Dune in Spanish the only reaction is laugh. Atreides is greek but that aesthetic… And those moorish-mediterranean windows… I see you art department. I see you…

PD: I heard future installements should do away with the yikes of white saviourism to show it was a terrible idea actually? You already could see very well in the film the saviour thing is manuphactered by the Bene Gesserit(?)! The voice Paul hears in his vision/hallucination moments is suspiciously similar to that elder women of the star so like. And the visions aren’t necessarily true? More like symbolic things… But then Dunan died just as he saw it… Umm. Something fishy here…
