skasion posted:Films absolutely can contain long dinner scenes full of banter. There are films that are mostly dinner banter scenes even. a poster above you has very astutely observed that the point of the dinner scene is to relate the thoughts and experiences of several characters through straight-up omniscient narration that puts their internal monologue on the page. is there a way to film it? probably so, with glances and cuts and framing, and it might even be an interesting exercise for a creative director/editor. but would it serve the overall narrative and pacing of a film adaptation of Dune? probably not. it's not a question of it being impossible either technically or within the context of the film industry and executive/upline money interests. i think (as others in this thread seem to, including the poster i just mentioned) that it is a matter of making choices that serve the medium. i understand the temptation to view that choice through the lens of cynicism, but my hunch is that cutting the dinner scene -- much like cutting Tom Bombadil from FotR -- was a sound, medium-appropriate editorial choice. if you think Fellowship whiffed on the source material for ditching Bombadil, or that a Dune adaptation can't work without the dinner scene, then i think you're missing the forest for the trees. it's probably safe to assume that you love Dune, and want a good and definitive film version. i do too; especially whereas the last two attempts at filming it came across as kind of flat and goofy to me, in no small part because they seemed to try too hard to transliterate the novel 1:1 to the screen rather than truly adapting it for a visual storytelling medium. so, while i understand the motivation behind your cynicism here, i think it's peculiarly myopic and a little bit elitist to take the position that "audiences are dumb and profit motive exists, and that's why this movie doesn't capture every page of the book" rather than "this is a different medium, but let's see how well this adaptation captures the message."

Give me a fuckin extended cut, Denis. honestly that word is so charged and so alienating for a huge chunk of US moviegoers that i'm not at all surprised at its omission, but i hope it gets into Part 2 once this one gets the hooks in (which it will) (and also Part 2 is happening, cynics be damned, global box office is already within $40 million of the Part 1 budget, let's fuckin gooooo) e; $26 million to break-even yesssss get it the heebie-gbs fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Oct 20, 2021 |

Randal posted:I would have liked one internal monologue, when Paul was tested. Think it would have been effective if we heard him reciting the litany against fear and didn't cut outside of the room i honestly thought that jessica saying it outside the room and paul starting to mouth it slightly, then steeling himself against the test, was a really nice touch for real though: they did it. they made Dune. the movie is Dune. go see it if you love the book. go see it if you love worldbuilding. go see it if you love movies in general. just make sure to see it on the biggest screen you can find. there are parts of this that are filmed at such angles and in such aspects as to make you feel dwarfed by the image, and allowing the size of the screen to reinforce it left me in awe several times they nailed it. kull wahad

rndmnmbr posted:Just please, please tell me they did the Baron justice, that he's not just that floating fat man. can confirm. spoiler only as to the general characterization and how the baron is handled visually: his feet skim the ground and other surfaces when he moves, and there is a great effect when his suspensors activate. he floats directly upwards at times, but the dragging and skimming when he moves makes him feel at once otherworldly and anchored. he is played as wholly malicious. Stryder posted:Also, the sardaukar were awesome but it bugged me that they weren't disguised as Harkonnen during the attack. Like wasn't that THE ENTIRE POINT that they needed to be disguised so none of the Landsraad knew the Emperor was involved? Minor quibbles, though. So awesome. I think they played up the lack of communication, and the inability of anyone to escape the planet, well enough that this plot point was dropped without any real loss to the narrative, and for a film audience i imagine it made the emperor's gamut much easier to understand. bankrupt the harkonnens, kill the atreides, and the emperor remains on top. grateful that i saw this with someone who has never read Dune and has never seen any previous adaptations. they loved it, and picked up on every bit of nuance, including the fact that paul is exploiting the messianic myth, that the myth was planted by the bene gesserit, and that paul (and i quote) "is probably not going to do the kind of good they think he will." i stand by my earlier comment that anyone who doesn't like this movie is an idiot or a contrarian or both. it's stunning. it tells the story in a nuanced and interesting way. it captures the spirit of the novel, but adapts it beautifully to the visual medium. calling it a visual feast would be a hackneyed understatement; it is a visual spice orgy

DebonaireD posted:The date palm scene is to show that although water is vital to life, there are things even more important than keeping individuals alive, like keeping alive the dreams of a people. Theres a bit in the book where Kynes remembers the Fremen asking how long her project of changing the face of Arrakis will take, and she says hundreds of years, expecting them to wail in anguish, but they're just like, yeah ok. some other folks have commented with examples of this type of preemption, but this is the first one i've seen that made everyone in an IMAX screening shut up and focus. it was comical...everyone heard the weird voice, stared at the blank screen, then down at the subtitle, and then just sat in eerie silence through the prologue. great mood-setter

Jewmanji posted:It goes deeper than usage of the word Jihad. It extends to the casting, score, the rest of the conlag. I agree it would be borderline malfeasance for the studio to put “jihad” in there, but it’s much harder to justify all the other issues that wouldn’t cause a stir with anyone. but really if you wanted to get american audiences in particular to be like "wait a sec" about Paul then peppering that term into the script would probably get you there and also result in theater shootings, but i digress also: it should be pronounced "connie" and paul should be bobby hill. i am not accepting criticism at this time the heebie-gbs fucked around with this message at 21:59 on Jul 3, 2023 |
