A Duke's son leads desert warriors against the galactic emperor and his father's evil nemesis when they assassinate his father and free their desert world from the emperor's rule. In the far future, a duke and his family are sent by the Emperor to a sand world from which comes a spice that is essential for interstellar travel. The move is designed to destroy the duke and his family, but his son escapes and seeks revenge as he uses the world's ecology as one of his weapons. O.K., I'll make it short: the movie… er… sucks. Why? Various reasons:<br/><br/><ul><li>The devastating altering to the book's true events (and ending). Turning a book to film is -I suppose- really difficult. A book this long must have been torture to its screenplay adapters.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The plain, unispiring and often boring character depiction.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The tiresome inner dialogue.</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The cheesy special effects (seriously… Star Wars sequels were being made at the time; they could have done it better).</li></ul><br/><br/><ul><li>The never quite-well-linked dialogues between character's (you often feel like two characters in the same room aren't talking to each other, or, change the subject too quickly).</li></ul><br/><br/> I have never been a David Lynch fan. Some of his movies are really senseless to me. But I really tried to give him a little bit of credit on this one.<br/><br/> Here, I thought he had a chance to do an epic story. He had all at his disposition, and yet he poured it down the drain and maid this movie so complex, so monotonous, so unnecessary plot-twisted that it confused the people who were excited to view this novel as a film, and disappointed those who discovered that there already was a movie made out of this book.<br/><br/> And to think George Lucas even considered handing Lynch one of his Star Wars episodes.<br/><br/> Frank Herbert must still be moving inside his coffin. ;-) There are movies that never stop to intrigue me and this one is one of those. I watched this movie for 20 times and found out I had to buy the special version on dvd. A must have.<br/><br/>I have read a lot of comments and I agree on most of them, but as time passed by I learned to appriciate Lynch.<br/><br/>Here is a classic discussion: the book, the film, the book, the film, I get really tired of it. When are people going to see movies as movies and not as books. Does anyone know the original story of King Arthur? There was no christianity in the time he existed. How many times has this wrongly being filmed and everyone is fond of the movies. Hmm. Not to mention Robin Hood. When are people to understand the meaning of: based on. For all its cumbersome scope (realized on a shimmeringly large scale by Lawrence of Arabia cinematographer Freddie Francis), the film remains an intensely personal epic, Lynch's uncommon emphasis on characters rather than effects lending his exposition a rather remarkable lucidity. Nowhere. It just does not exist. The closest we have to David Lynch's original vision is the theatrical release. Some people sometimes refer to the extended TV cut as the "director's cut" (and some even dare to offer copies of it in various auction sites under that label), but that couldn't be further removed from reality, as that version was rejected by Lynch to the point of deleting his name from the credits. A legal DVD of Dune: The Director's Cut exists, but that's for the 2000 Sci-Fi Channel miniseries, not this film.<br/><br/>However, the cast and crew of Lynch's Dune have confirmed that Lynch showed them an 'assembly cut' of the film shortly after principal photography wrapped. Although the film had yet to go through post-production, the reaction was very positive. This cut has not been seen since (as is the case with most assembly cuts).<br/><br/>There is also a fan version available, that attempts to get closer to both the novel and David Lynch's original vision: http://www.fanedit.org/ifdb/412-dune-the-alternative-edition-redux It's "Backyard" by Emmett Chapman, included on his album Parallel Galaxy. Chapman was also the creator of the instrument (known as the Chapman Stick) that Gurney plays, repainted and with an added lower part to represent the Baliset described by Frank Herbert in the original novel. Herbert was very complimentary towards the film, impressed that Lynch had managed to include so much from his novel in such a short time. He did, however, take a small issue with the portrayal of Paul as having become a literal god-figure at the end. Both versions contain footage that's missing in the other one, but the Theatrical Version lacks way more footage. Furthermore several scenes have been removed and reinserted afterwards in the TV Version, some of them are edited differently. But these differences aren't mentioned in this comparison because it would break the mold. David Lychn's version is the Theatrical Version btw. He wasn't involved in the TV Version and ordered that his name in the opening credits was going to be replaced by Alan Smithee . The main difference in the two versions is the fact that the TV Version has been split up to smaller episodes. As a result of that, the movie doesn't look like a motion picture anymore but like a big TV production. a5c7b9f00b the Cop and a Half: New Recruit full movie download in hindiRed: Part One full movie in hindi free downloadFast Five movie in hindi hd free downloadNaked Shadows in hindi 720pUniversal Soldier malayalam movie downloadUnrevealed: 3 Days in Hades movie in hindi free downloadWhiskey Cavalier full movie free downloadEpisode 1.7 malayalam movie downloadthe Episode 2.2 full movie in hindi free downloadEpisode 1.19 movie download in hd
