Here’s what you need to know about the movie ‘Dune’.
the story of the movie

The events of the film begin in the distant future, specifically in the year 10191, and its hero is the brilliant, talented young man, Paul Atreides, who was born with a great destiny beyond his comprehension, and is required to travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure his future, his family and his people, while the forces are locked in The wicked struggle over the exclusive supply of the planet with the most precious resource in existence, a commodity capable of unleashing humanity’s greatest potential.

film director

“Dune” was directed by Denis Villeneuve, who previously made a sequel to the famous science fiction film from the eighties of the last century “Blade Runner” that premiered in 2017, starring Real Gosling, and won critical acclaim.
Cinematic re

“Dune” is based on the 1965 science fiction novel of the same name, written by Frank Herbert, and previously presented in 1984, as well as a television mini-series that aired in 2000.

 

It’s not about a savior in white.

The director of the film, Denis Villeneuve, confirmed that his new vision of the novel “Dune” does not deal with the story of a “savior in a white robe” and is not a glorification in it, as some critics believe, but rather a “criticism” of the doctrine of the “white savior”.
He explained in an interview with the “CinemaBlend” website: “This is not a celebration of a savior, but a criticism of the idea of ​​a savior and of someone who will come and tell another people how they are and what they should believe in,” It is not a condemnation, but a criticism, so this is the way I feel it relevant, and it can be considered contemporary.

Villeneuve’s defense of his new version of the movie “Dune” came in response to critics who believe that the protagonist of the novel, “Paul Atreides”, bears the trademark of the “white savior”, after he becomes the leader of a group called “Freemen”. The people of Freeman do not depend on “Paul”.
Venice Festival

“Dune” premiered last month during the Venice International Film Festival, and critics at the festival expected it to impress enthusiastic audiences, and might confuse others, as some of them expected it to compete for Oscars in cinematography and other artistic categories.

Critic Robbie Cullen of the Daily Telegraph called it “sci-fi at its most fascinating and unsettling”, while critic Zane Brooks of The Guardian praised the film as “blockbuster cinema at its stunning and dazzling best”.
