Dune was good Beautifully shot film Shame Villeneuve sees Paul as a villain. I would have thought a Quebecois would identify with the separatists, but they hate religion
Ultimately a film from a director that doesn't believe in anything
But for current year? As good as it gets
This is why current year morality is a doldrums. Zero belief in the extraordinary individual.
Consensus based worldview can't allow it.
But man, is it pretty.
Reductive materialism and consensus based world view pervade all his movies, couldn't quite place it until now but it's true. No room for it.
The man is honestly hollow and boring
But his images are amazing
A shame he doesn't use them to say anything he really feels.
Reminder:
Dirk Willems (died 16 May 1569) was a Dutch martyred Anabaptist who is most famous for escaping from prison but then turning back to rescue his pursuer—who had fallen through thin ice while chasing Willems—to then be recaptured, tortured and killed for his beliefs.
Willems was executed in Asperen, and with a strong eastward wind blowing that day, the fire was driven away from the condemned's upper body, prolonging his torturous death. It was reported that the wind carried his screams of "O Lord; my God", etc., over seventy times.
The way you react to this story will tell you a lot about yourself and your faith.
