Shown by Denis Villeneuve Hill (parts one and two) The Curse of the Movie was dreamed up and never filmed Alejandro Jodorowsky Already rarely implemented David Lynch It was solvable. It was, in essence, waiting for the moment to arrivent of technological maturity. Jodorowsky fell into the architect's trap: he began to dream, forgetting the unbearable weight of the budget. Lynch was mired in words: He shot an eight-hour version, which he later cut to five and the producer, Dino De LaurentiisCut off more than two.
Villeneuve's double birth (2021 and 2024) expresses wisdom. On the one hand, the Canadian director puts the message forward to suit the tastes of contemporary audiences. On the other hand – and now it does – it uses computational power to place the viewer in a universe that's fantastical and vivid.
As was the case with the first trilogy Star Wars (1977-1983), was designed as a very significant part of the intergalactic ecosystem Frank Herbert In the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, there is a clear gap between the future imagined in the 60s and the future a writer familiar with artificial intelligence. Blockchain or the Data fabricBut simply consumer electronics.
Because no one in civilization of 10,000 or so uses mobile phones, tablets, smart watches or augmented reality glasses who haven't seen these movies. Telepathy does not appear to have been a form of communication at the time, as the trait was restricted to female fraternities. Besse Gesserit And the hero of the story, Paul Atreides.

The content of the said message is not read on the screen or shown through the video call: it is delivered in a kind of metal cylinder.
The difference between international transport methods and local logistics is also significant. Of course, spaceships will multiply, and they will be much more amazing than that Star WarsLargely due to the enormous heredity Storyboard Moebius drew for Jodorowsky. But in Arrakis, the land of the Moorish freeman, a high-speed train of sandworms prevails, which only the natives have learned to tame and which cover impressive distances on their backs.
No less disturbing is the irony of military occupation in Dune. While the ships have all kinds of precision weapons and the noble house Atreides has a secret arsenal of over 60 nuclear weapons, battles on the ground are fought with swords. What general in his right mind would fight his troops armed with knives and daggers? To the techno-observer's surprise, this cutlery easily penetrates the soldiers' ultralight and mega-resistant armor.
Was Herbert a bad novelist? Absolutely. The beauty of science fiction of that period lies in the touch of romance and craftsmanship that still pulsates in its pages.
