8:26 I think you meant to say “…her own mortality.” Not “morality”. Awesome breakdown though, always appreciate these kinds of ‘movies explained’ videos. 😊
A Quiet Place Day One has just hit theatres and after checking out the film, I was surprised at how well this prequel worked. It works as it's own seperate take on the series during the invasion of the death angels, but it also connects to the other movies in a few brief ways too. What did you think of the latest Quiet Place movie?
I personally enjoyed the movie a bit more than i thought i would going into it. The scene where Eric acted as a magician onstage to make Sam smile for just a moment was really nice and it was the little looks they gave each other throughout the film that made it for me. Eric wanting to go grab meds for Sam, going to get her cat while being surrounded by aliens, and Sam being able to help keep him calm was so great. I wish Sam made it out at the end but in the end i thought it was solid movie. Saw in IMAX so i definitely wanna check it out in Dolby next time.
I thought the ending Stunk. It looked like " ok! go with your dumb girlfriend, I am taking the worm, you find your own ass home." that's how it clumsily that came off. Chani supposed to be a Fremen, not really afraid of war, and deeply into the Freemen religious beliefs and superstitions. When we hear her blaspheming and talking atheistic BS trash,, Her life would had been shorter by the book's standards, as she would had a Cyrsknife in the back and/or her throat would had been slit by one. She would have gone out as an apostate. none of it improved Hurberts Ideas, and it smell so much more like DEI, and Villeneuve has said he was head that way in a big way. Your point, about Directors, inevitably, having to adapt source books for the screen, thats not happening here. What I saw just dragged me out of the movie theater, kicking and screaming, back to 2024 USA. Say it brings Frank Herbert's idea to some kind of clarity is, a con job. We seen director before elevated by taking great works, GOT, to the screen and get pump up as if they wrote the great work themselves, as long as they stayed in the boundaries of the authors vision, people thought they were geniuses. And then we see director dashed on the rock, burnt at the stake, for not just adapting, but taking full license to change a story. This is my personal warning to Denis Villenuve, if you want to get high of your own farts fine, fart on dune ... Dune will end your Career.
I'm tottaly diggin Supes' look. I also love the casting choice for Lois Lane. She's the most attractive LL since Margot Kidder. I felt the last 2 weren't that impressive.
I am for the changes. I think Villenueve realized Messah is not objectively a great book. And he wanted to put these changes in to fix the setup for more if he or someone else is going to.
I’ve been pissed off with the way dune 2 ended. I’m a big dune fan. But I totally forgot Paul’s prophecy will still come true. He’ll probably win her back in the first 30 minutes of Messiah. I’m sure that movie will be at least 4 years before it happens. They are taking a break. They probably won’t do pre-production until 2025 with principal photography maybe not starting until the end of next year or 2026. Then editing, marketing, etc.
