В защиту «Дюны» Вильнева

Сегодня я побуду адвокатом «Дюны» 2021-2024 годов выпуска и расскажу о том, что у Вильнёва, на мой взгляд, получилось хорошо. Увы, местами невозможно будет удержаться от сравнений с другими экранизациями Герберта и с самим романом-первоисточником, а где-то и от критики в их адрес; где-то придется оспорить расхожие аргументы критиков фильма, но такие моменты я постараюсь минимизировать: эта статья – в первую очередь похвала фильму, а не полемика. Ведь кино, так и не ставшее новым «Властелином колец» от космооперы, достойно хотя бы похвалы.

The classic [0] #Dune #BoardGame is a deep, intricate, highly evocative rendering of the story, in the form of a thrilling negotiation-and-betrayal game.

Best to set aside a whole afternoon to play. And, in 1980s game style, also be prepared for it to suddenly end early when someone sneaks a win.

Not in our case, though! There were some close calls, but the early attempts to win failed by a hair, leaving the field changed and ready for new schemes and machinations.

We played the full (“advanced”) rules, which was definitely the right choice: The designers have poured effort into enabling the lore and set pieces from the book, and the full rules are needed to get all that.

The second photo here captures a particularly climactic moment.

Two “Battle Plan” devices are laid in the foreground, determining the result of a battle in Habbanya Ridge sietch: the two battle leaders, Beast Rabban of the Harkonnen, and Chani of the Fremen, are revealed each to be a traitor in the service of the opponent! Both sides lose utterly: leaders and forces dead, the territory now unclaimed by either faction.

The game continued. (The Fremen won eventually, on turn 6.)

[0] The game was published by #AvalonHill in 1979, and ever since then has had a passionate fan base despite long being out of print. The re-release in 2019 by #GaleForceNine changes very little, and makes “classic Dune” available for everyone again.

An early-game photo of the classic Dune board game. The board, dominated by a map of the planet Arrakis, with territories in shades of dark red, brown, and yellow, is occupied by small tokens representing Spice and military forces. Standing cardboard screens hide secrets of each faction (three in view: Harkonnen, Fremen, Atreides). Many cards and token boxes are distributed about the large table.

Lately, I've been strolling around the #Kudamm area in #Berlin. It used to be the hot spot for cinemas (like the famous #Marmorhaus in the picture), but almost every one of them was shut down due to the rise of the #Cineplex theaters. Now Cineplex theaters are shutting down as well, due to the rise of streaming platforms. Or is it, because the quality of contemporary #cinema has become so low, it's just not worth seeing on the big screen? Latest exceptions: #Godzilla-1 #Dune 1&2 #Flow

The famous Marmorhaus used to be one of the many cinemas in the Kudamm area. Now it's a shop.
