Film - Dune
It had been a month of no films and wasted membership, what with just ONE BIG FILM showing. So when this came out, I went.
Their cruelty to my people is all I’ve known
ring any bells on Earth, 2021?
Dune in a nutshell: fighting. Magic. Magic fighting. Fighting magic. Mystery girl. Sand dunes (obvs), all set against a magnificent cinematic backdrop with baddie characters borrowed from the Lord of the Rings museum.
What the heck? A weedy kid and heir to the land is actually going to be able to fight the baddies by the end of this admittedly long film?
A great man doesn’t seek to lead
ring any bells? Etc.
SPOILER All the way through, my thought was, if they have the power to manipulate people’s actions, why are they ever in danger? Unmemorable.
