I've read most of the classic science fiction and fantasy novels. However, due to the nature of the genre, it is often the last thing to do with visualization of science fiction and fantasy. Many fans wanted to do so, but it took a long time to do so. However, it took a long time for the classic to do so. It's probably harder to get a remake. Peter Jackson did a great job of making it, so it's more burdensome for him to make it again. The Ring was also dramatized a few days ago by some of the second generation's Threadleons, which failed. Most people don't even know that a drama has been produced.

In the case of science fiction, one of the works that fans most want to see is the Sprawl Trilogy. The first book, "The Neuromancer," is a true masterpiece that is said to have created the cyberpunk genre. As the original author Gibson released the last book, "The Mona Lisa Overdrive," in decades, the original author must have felt a lot of pressure as well. Given this situation, Neuromancer is overflowing with fan-made sketches and has never progressed beyond rumors that it will be produced.

A similar case is foundation. The scale is no joke, and the structure is not easy to make video, so no one was willing to touch it, but Apple started off curiously. If it weren't for the halo of the original, it would have been said to be a compelling work, but it couldn't get out of the shadow of the original. I understand that it doesn't have a good reputation.

Dune is a classic at the same level, but unlike other classics, visualizations have been attempted several times and movies and dramas have actually been made. Dune is not easy to film because it is so large that Frank Herbert spent his whole life and his son hired a writer to release a follow-up film even after the original author died. Director David Lynch, who gained fame in B-class movies, previously tried to make it into a movie. I understand that the movie did not have a bad reputation, but it is difficult to say that the original feeling was properly achieved.

Actually, I don't really appreciate it that much. Herbert Frank wrote a total of six Dune movies, and he died without completing them. But maybe because this is a work that has been written for a long time, it feels completely different from the fourth one. The problem is that to make the last three, especially the fifth and sixth, true to the story, you have to make it at least NC-17. Bené Geserit's "blood conservation" job, which is also in Part 2, gets weird when you go backwards, and becomes too important a subject. As you may have seen in Ringworld, sexual activity appears like that of Bonovo, and bed scenes appear often and important enough to compare with it.

Dune's previous trilogy is important, and it's a well-written science fiction, but what I thought while reading was that if we roughly mix orientalism with hippies' LSD culture, this kind of work would come out. Fremen is just an ethnic group in the Middle East, and Spice is a drug that openly shows hallucinations, and a large part of the novel is about hurling around in the hallucinations. I read the previous three episodes three times because there were so many fantasies that I couldn't tell where the story was.

When I heard this, I was looking forward to seeing Villeneuve make a video. The Heron University is the best choice for a director who can express a dreamy atmosphere. However, I was also worried if it could be sold as a commercial film if it was made into a video. In particular, I was curious about the videoization of the second part, as it appears intensively after the second part of the movie story - the second part of the novel.

What I thought after watching the movie was that Villeneuve understood the medium of film very accurately.

When I saw Part 1, I thought that Part 1 would be made into three parts. At the speed of Part 1, I thought it would be inevitable. However, the director made the movie by reducing the story of Part 2 much more than Part 1, and boldly showing the contents of the movie in fantasy. I was able to finish the original part in Part 2. Instead, the orientalist atmosphere and dreamlike feeling of the original were expressed through video, which overwhelms the audience in an extremely cinematic way. It was a very clever composition.

The details are quite different from the original, but it was also fun that the whole plot faithfully followed the original more than expected. On the way, there was a brief welcome from Elijah Atreides, which was Enya Taylorjo. Casting a leading actor in Elijah seems to mean that he will run up to three novels starring Elijah, but I wonder how he will express this, as there are many difficulties for minors to see.

Anyway, the second part of the novel will be finished in part 3, and the children of the third part of the novel will need parts 4 and 5, so there is a high possibility that Dune will end up with part 5. Of course, we have to see if it really is.

The problem is that the movie is a little long, but it doesn't feel like a long time. If possible, it would be better to watch it at the theater. Video is a video, but you have to go to the theater to properly feel the sound that supports it.
