Dune
Over the past year or two I've rediscovered a real love for the science fiction genre. No deep cuts or anything but I've tried my best to read and watch some noteworthy stuff. 'Rediscovered' because after my nerdy parents were finished shoving Star Wars down my throat, I got tired of consuming things that for me, were struggling to hold a candle to the galaxy far far away.
After tonight's rewatch of Dune, I can confidently say that it is the most impressive piece of modern science fiction storytelling I've encountered so far. 462
I've yet to come across a story where the world and politics are explained slowly and subtly, to the audience's advantage. The visuals, especially the symmetrical composition and negative space use is oh so satisfying and beautiful. Such fun casting choices, definitely forgot about some faces that show up here.
Dune-pilled two weeks before I see Dune Part 2 is crazy. Lucky me. 723
