Cinematic Doctrine's Dune Episode
Jerry Dugan from the Beyond the Rut Podcast joins Melvin and Shirleon in discussing Denis Villeneuve's latest film, Dune: Part Two! Jerry and Shirleon share insight into the original Frank Herbert novel, how Villeneuve's two films handle adapting such complex material, and the tragedy of Paul Atreides.
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 42-minutes roleplaying as Imagineers building a Dune-themed section of Disney World's Hollywood Studios. One person creates a ride, one person explains why it's successful, and one person explains why it's either a risk to human life or an outright failure! (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Since Jerry's previous appearance on Cinematic Doctrine (Avatar: The Way of Water) he's been going strong on his podcast and has published a book! (Episode mentioned in discussion here)
- It's unanimous: the gang loves Dune: Part Two!
- Melvin, "[Seeing Dune: Part Two] is why you fall in love with movies."
- Melvin hasn't read the book, so he asks Jerry and Shirleon about the differences between Villeneuve's interpretation and the source material.
- Dune (2021) has an ethereal, philosophical exploration of how frightening and daunting the concept of possibility is as a conscience being. Meanwhile, Dune: Part Two feels primarily a tale of grand, epic proportion.
- Shirleon reads a section of the book to assert the tragic loneliness of Muad'Dib.
- Getting into how broad, deep, and positively complicated the literature of Dune can get.
- Thoughts on where a sequel is headed, as both an adaption and an interpretation of its source material.
