- Quotes
Lady Jessica Atreides: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings obliteration. I will face my fear and I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past... I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
- Crazy creditsAt the start of the film, a Sardaukar priest chants "Dreams are messages from the deep" as a prologue as it is subtitled onscreen.
This movie visually is a masterpiece and you can sit, watch and be amazed, how they made it feel so incredibly real - even for the 155 minutes it runs. I only missed a bit of the "darkness" i felt in the Lynch-movie and they seemingly moved away from explicitly showing violence and gore overly. Baron Harkonnen e. G. feels more like a greedy, intelligent gangster boss then the schizophrenic sadist i remebered from the first movie. Anyways - the movie is actually the most interesting sci-fi flick i've seen in the last few years. With an incredible score, an immersive story, most impressive views of landscapes, mass battles and not to forget: the Shai-Hulud.
If you get the time: Go, see it - and share your own impressions. I'm definitely up to see the second movie, if it comes. Plus i will finally buy the original books to dive deeper into the dune universe.
Have fun!
