I love it. In this particular instance, I admire that you can be so separated from it that you can analyze it critically. I think my brain has always loved the story of Dune so much, and I've seen all the adaptations like you have, that it finds difficulty separating out what appeared in one adaptation and is lacking in another. In other words, I believe I've lost objectivity. Now that you have pointed it out, I think that the feeling I have regarding Villeneuve's adaptation is also boredom. At first, I thought maybe I was missing things from Lynch's version. But maybe not. It seems odd with all of the things that happened that I should feel bored, and I'm not sure why I feel that way. Perhaps it is that I felt no attachment to the characters. You are right that a lot of the characters were just minor things. Anyway, great review.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658526372996117205.post-20781279569357323172021-11-01T11:26:45.825-07:002021-11-01T11:26:45.825-07:00I have to admit, I have no interest in seeing Dune...I have to admit, I have no interest in seeing Dune. I did read the book once, and that was enough for me. I don't really understand the culture around it, so I usually just nod along when it's mentioned.J E Oneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780097298061829471noreply@blogger.com
