I hope Dune lives up to the hype. We could all do with some escapism,
But films are all so half hearted now. No matter the film, visual art direction is good and then the rest: the script, the acting is both generic and lacklustre. They're not even trying these days.
The idea of developing a character and struggling to come up with slowly evolving dialogue in scenes between characters is an anathema to these spoilt rich kids in the Film industry.
I watched the Dune lead, Chalamet, in The King recently and thought he was weak and effeminate and a bad actor but at least his voice work was good. Then I noticed his voice was being dubbed into the scenes that were too difficult for him.
It was visually stunning but a terrible film. Just bored and worn out and self-aware that the same film had been made 100 times over in the pastwith 100 times better results.
Braveheart this was not.
The Agincourt battle was done ten times better with "The Battle of the Bastards" in Game of Thrones. This one, at times, had people cuddling each other and rolling around on top of each other but no attempt to hit each other or make a fight look real. "Don't worry.. CGI will fix it! Don't worry.. the edit will clear it up!"
Bad Art inflicted upon us by Rich People.
Outlaw/King on Netflix with Chris Pine was the same. Washed out, tired, insipid. Chris Pine weighing all of 50kg as he saunters around in a nightgown/dress.
Just paint by numbers rubbish with contempt for the rest of us.
Its all so weak.
