20 sats \ 2 replies \ @softglitter2d 11 Dec \ on: Which “Dune” do you like better and why? movies
Denis Villeneuve's Dune is evolution pure and simple. It's how you build something awesome from an awesome book. I do really like the 80s version but since I have to put sats in it, that's my answer.
Is it accurate? No, it's not. Do I care? No, because Denis didn't destroy the esence of Arrakis and the characters were beautifully composed in the movie. Yes, it's not like the book1 however, the artwork worth those little arrangements.

My take on comparing books to movies is that a movie will never do justice to the book. It cannot because they are two different media. A book is only limited by the imagination of the reader, whereas a movie must make everything visually knowable. I have liked all versions, so far. They are each focused differently, though.
What is 4/6 saga?

My bad. Frank wrote initially three books; Dune, Messiah and Children of Dune. Then three more: God Emperor, Heretics of Dune and finally Chapterhouse. Right now, I'm reading 4/6 intial saga which is God Emperor. Worth it.
