Dune
 

How is this? Can I have some reviews and/or comparisons.

you mean the Lynch version ?

Buff, the problem with this film was that RH Giger and Jodorowski wasted a lot of money but they didn't had flm anythin' so Dino de Laurentis fired Jodorowski and get Lynch as director. When Lynch re-starts to work on the film, the producers didn't give him all the budget that he needs, and Lynch couldn't make the film as he wanted (a lot of material was cut, he filmed over 4 hours but the final cut was around 177 min.) When Lynch talks about Dune he always said that was a traumatic experience, and he ever fells like the film is incompleted.

still one of Lynch's best movies...Lost Highway better...I sure like Dune much better than the quasi Mulholland Drive....Wild at heart is pretty good too

I can't say the shame, isn't bad but it could be much better.

Otherwise I think that Blue velvet is the best film of D. Lynch

Yessir.

i loved Dune.

I was one of the few who had read the series and still liked the movie.


a lot of people who didnt read the books didnt like the movie because they didnt understand it. (it would have required listening to the dialogue and narration - something most people dont bother with - its just a distraction between the car crashes.

It's very interesting visually, but the actual script runs a tad to the ludicrous. I love the book, it's one of my favorites and it seems like they tried way too hard to shove in as many references to the book as they could. Most time I tend to feel cheated when the movie doesn't follow the original manuscript close enough but there were sections of the Dune movie that made me giggle because they were so silly. Like all of the character's have lengthy internal dialogues in the middle of just about every scene in the movie......annoying as hell.

I still love the David Lynch version of Dune.

I don't think the script was that silly, he took a very detailed book and made it into a 2 hour movie while still trying to let the viewer know what was going on...I think it would have been impossible otherwise. Every action by the characters in dune was due to some personal and political force that extended back generations in some cases and there was no way he could have conveyed that in the time he had with 2 way dialog. I think it would have been all over the place if he had tried that.

I understand how large the scope of the book was and I really do appreciate that it's a difficult task when you have so much material to translate, but it's the way they went about doing it that irritated me so much. I couldn't get into the writing. But I still own the movie so I didn't dislike it too much....
