Okay, here's the problem with the Dune (2021)...which I say as someone who had read the book and totally enjoyed the movie...It's really not made for people who've not read the book. It was made by a Dune fan, for Dune fans.

And this is why basically no characters ever actually get proper introductions in the movie? Because Villeneuve assumes that if you're watching the movie, you've read the book and therefore know exactly who Piter De Vries is and why we should hate him. But it's never actually explained.

Which is why I always warn people who want to just go into the movie blind, that they might not enjoy it as some because they are very much not the target audience. And it's like, you might still enjoy it. One doesn't have to be a target audience to appreciate something. However I do say, look, when you see the internet losing its fucking mind over something that you thought was "meh but pretty" you're not crazy.

In many ways, this movie is incredibly niche, but because of the cast, budget and release on streaming because of Covid a TON more people sat down and watched it. I think if the first one hadn't released on HBO, it would not have gained the insane amount of popularity. It would have stayed far more under the radar, and made more around what Blade Runner 2049 made. Instead it made roughly $406 million dollars and no one will stop talking about it.

Okay, this got way longer than I meant it to.

Anyway, this is a SUPER long way of saying, really glad you're reading the book and hope you enjoy it! Be warned the first 100ish pages are a little slow, but once it picks up it really picks up.

lmaoo thank you for the rant tbh i feel like i’m gonna need someone to discuss this with after i’m done with the first novel! i’m about a quarter through it now i think and i’m enjoying it thoroughly

i’m planning on rewatching the movies after, but bear in mind that’s mostly just so i can be a Better Hater™️ with the added knowledge of the source material. but we’ll see i suppose

rn im not particularly sold on the idea of the movie not explaining shit properly because it’s made for people who have read the book? i’ve never heard that excuse for any other adaptation, it just sounds like a skill issue on villeneuve’s part.. and if it was only meant for people who have read the book, then what is it adding..?

also i’m not sure if i would call the first 100 pages slow! it’s kind of the opposite? it’s a slow read for sure, but that’s because there’s too much happening, not too little - i had to reread every paragraph a few times before moving on

P.S. i am SO MAD about the character designs. dr yueh in particular. they did him so dirty

#fish rambles #also feel free to dm me about this lol
