Dune.
Turning the Bene Gesserit power of Voice into some weird gun was fucking stupid.
Edit to add: first film adaptation from the 80s. The latest movies have been good.
I assume you mean the 1984 version?
Yes.
Don't actually remember that scene, refresh my memory please?
In the book, the power of voice was him singing.
I mean, how was it different in the movie? As I recall it was still a vocal thing. They could have done a better job explaining where it came from but I don't remember it being egregiously different.
Voice is not a weapon like a gun or knife. Voice commands people. It's like speed hypnosis/mind control achieved through voice manipulation.
Like I said, I don't really remember instances in the movie of the voice being used in a way inconsistent with that description. I'm not arguing, I'm asking for examples to jog my memory.
Oh, the confusion might be from there being at least 3 different versions of Dune in cinema. I am talking about the first adaptation from 1984.
Ah ok. That's the only version I haven't seen, hence my confusion.
I haven't read the book or seen the movie and I got away with it lmao
As a Dune lover, I have a soft spot for the 1980s version. The thing I tell people before watching is, "this isn't Dune, this is a fever dream David Lynch had about the idea of Dune."
That's a really good description.
Yeah, the 80s version took a lot of liberties, most of which didn't work out. The ending specifically.
But I still like the visuals and the music and the actors more than the new movies. Yeah, I know the new ones have crazy CG visuals, but the set designs from the 80s version were just more....unique in my opinion. That made the world feel more interesting. And I liked the 80s Baron way more than the new Baron, despite really respecting Stellan Skarsgard. Kenneth McMillan played a really psychotic Baron.
and the rain at the end
Ugh yeah
