'Dune (1984)' by Renato Casaro.

[emptyjunior]

It looks like with the movies taking off, everyone is on the Dune train now!! Which is very exciting, I’m glad a bunch of new people are discovering this media and reading the books, but can I recommend you the David Lynch, Dune (1984) movie.

First of all, if you are invested in the lore of the books and the deeper messaging of the story, you’re going to need to turn that part of your brain Off. If you love kick ass shit and are willing to be slightly tipsy while you watch and have a great goddamn afternoon, this is the flick for you.

Now first fun fact I’m going to share with you. David Lynch (twin peaks, eraserhead director, celebrated surrealist) turned down the opportunity to direct Return of the Jedi for this film. A film that was devastatingly slow to make, changed hands multiple times, had a pricy VFX budget of $40 million and then made barely $31 million, David Lynch turned down Star Wars to work on it. And he did this when he had never read the novel, and did not even like or engage with sci fi media. THAT’S how you know we’re really in for something.

Now this film has some big names in it! We’ve got a young Kyle MacLachlan who is rocking some Devastating outfits:

We’ve got Sir Patrick Stewert as our Gurney and Sting, lead singer of the police, playing the 15 year old Feyd Rautha! If you wanted to see a grown man, sprayed orange, basically naked playing a free wheeling maniac you are in for a treat! And another fun fact, David Lynch also did not know who these actors were, he made a mistake and thought Patrick Stewert was someone else and when Sting said he was in the police he assumed he was in an organization of lawmen.

Now these characters are familiar to you, but let me get into the unfamiliar. Lynch made some directorial executive decisions throughout this film, for I suppose the ease of the viewer? I mean an adaptation is supposed to adapt so he went let me change some stuff up👏👏👏.

Those who paid attention to Jessica’s backstory may know about the Weirding Way. This is a martial arts style created by the Bene Gesserit, and practiced by Paul. It is more than just a fighting style but also an important philosophical concept, like Aikido or how Kung Fu has foundations in Buddhism.

You may also be familiar with the quote “My name is a killing word.” This inner monologue of Paul’s refers to how his title Muad’dub will be used to spur a holy war. A simple name is what people will die and bleed for, it will be what they scream as they cut down enemies.

Dark! Intense! That’s Dune, anyways in the novel it’s easy to take your time exploring these concepts. Introducing the audience to the religious ramifications of a simple name and fighting practice and how these things can have rippling repercussions upon a society like the Freman.

Now David Lynch didn’t have time for that! He had the belief (that may be right🤷‍♂️!) That watching a bunch of people kick each other on top of a sand dune would be Lame😭😭

So he made the choice for his film that “My name is a killing word” was to be taken Absolutely Literally and invented a device where if the freman said the name Muad-dib, shit would explode.

If they said Paul’s name, they could Explode Stuff. Let it sink in how rad that is. Hell yeah man, hell yeah. Imagine me interpreting religious text that way, imagine if I made a bible movie and the moral I took from a parable is that when Jesus asked for food and everyone donated fish, I concluded that Jesus was a mutant who had fish powers and could immediately conjure fish with magic and gave him fish death rays that shot out of his hands.

So that’s what you can expect from this interpretation, the weirding way now means everyone has Lasers its rad as hell.

Some other incredible choices made! This is a spoiler, but in the novels and the new films you can see the Freman collecting every scrap of water they can. Dr Liet-Kynes, the planetologist, reveals to us it’s because they have a long, multiple generation spanding plan to fix the planet. By introducing this water back they hope to reset the ecosystem over centuries of work. The reason they have been unable to do this is because a green planet would obviously not have worms and sand who produce spice, the most coveted drug in the empire, so imperial and harkonnen forces have been stopping this from ever happening. They want to be free from oppression so that they can start to work on slowly fixing their world, a project that plays out in Paul’s adult life and has its own dramas and complexities.

In Dune 1984??? The moment, the Moment Paul lays out his cousin and throws the final punch, it begins to rain in Arrakis. As if they were all under a magical curse and were just waiting for a teenager to come fight another teenager and then the water will come back. It’s so good, it’s so funny.

Also Pugs! House Atreides official Pugs! Paul has pugs in his lap!!

This is honestly an adaptation choice that I really really like! Paul is the result of centuries of selective breeding, this practice is an artform to the Bene Gesserit and a skill that they monitor closely. It produces bizarre and sometimes terrifying results and is the reason for Paul’s existence.

I think having an animal that was also created through selective breeding, was engineered from a wolf into an animal that can hardly breathe is an incredible metaphor! A smart and identifiable symbol for the audience, I think it’s a slam dunk and the new movies should have done it to.

Anyways can not recommend this film enough.

-The body suits the bad guys wear are made out of real body bags, that actually had been used.

-David Lynch to this day hates it.

-The original cut was four hours.

-The cast and crew were sick the Entire shoot with something they called Montezuma's Revenge, which was probably just food poisoning, side effects from the constant smog because they shot the whole thing on backup generators, illness from the cockroach infestation and terrible morale.

-Frank Herbert saw it multiple times and said he absolutely loved it.

-When they ride the worms, sick rock jams play.

If you love electric guitar, lasers, worms and will forgive me for not including all the trigger warnings cause Yes this film will gross you out, then go watch this movie.

paid natal chart [and other chart] readings

♇ leo in the first house, entails that they're seen as people who are glamorous, talented and charismatic, as the first house communicates about an individual is seen by others around them. to have leo in the first house conveys the information that they are seen as people who are cheerful, glow-y and assertive, their leadership nature can either be seen as very charming or over-bearing; due to the fact that they can also be deemed to be people who are annoying, pompous and self-righteous.

♇ moving onto the topic of self-identity, natives with leo in the ascendant are likely to identify themselves with or as people who are the entertainers, it doesnt matter what they do, if they're cooking for someone, playing a game with someone, they'll feel an energy where they have to give it their all. aside from that they might identify themselves as people who are the "authority" which links back to why people might find them over-bearing due to their constant need to lead, it might not be for everyone though, it can sometimes be funny, especially with tyler the creator's cooking video where he and a co-star kept on speaking over each other.

♇ with the first house ruling the impression we make on others, for leo to be here insinuates that they give the impression that they are inspirational people, leo risings are one of the main least ascendant placements that are going to hide themselves, which gives people the influence and idea that they are bold people who are determined to express their needs, wants and emotions.

♇ they have the personality of people who are noble, generous and caring, there's others who'll deem those with the ascendant in leo to be people who are selfish, which they can be, but when you're in their circle, they're very doting and warmhearted. they're people who are sincere, enthusiastic and faithful, most of them always believe in something, it doesnt necessarily have to be a God, it can be having faith in themselves, their friends or their family. on the other hand, they can have the traits of being impatient, snobby and stuck-up, this'll normally happen with bad aspects. or them being like that because its in their nature.

♇ the sun is their planetary ruler, which causes them to shine no matter where they are, no matter how private they want to be, people always find a way to find interest them and continuously watch them. their presence is like the big elephant in the room which can overwhelm others and make insecure people dislike them because they cant handle the fact that someone is so influential, beautiful and bewitching. this causes many people to admire them, and find inspiration, much leo risings might find others copying them a lot, it could be style, attitude, manners or even a way of thinking.

♇ furthermore, the topic of appearance here displays the data that much leo risings have strong hair, or their hair is just really nice. most of them have fluffiness in it, and some of them might have greasy hair; orange-yellow under tone skin and a very strong stance. sometimes their chest are poking out, and have very muscle-y limbs, a strong posture, cat/feline eyes and flat noses, or noses that are positioned like a cat's.

♇ moreover, moving onto their personal ambition, leo risings could have the tendency of becoming someone who is greater than their current selves. they always like to elevate themselves, transform themselves into something greater. majority of them always like to be known and it is always likely to come easily for them, they can be the most known in their school, community they're in, family etc. they just always shine, however, in the end, their personal ambition is to normally make a name or something for themselves.

♇ on one hand, the first house bespeaks about the strengths and weaknesses of an individual, to have leo in the ascendant communicates the idea that their strength is them being noble, playful, courageous and energetic. whereas their weakness can be listed of them being patronising, over-dramatic, egotistical and mean.

♇ they're definitely natives who are not scared to project their personality, if they're confident they will show they're confident, if they're scared or upset, they will not be afraid to express that they are. they do not [or are least likely] going to hide whats going on, unless they have placements that imply of secretiveness. on the other hand, they will present themselves to be people who are vital, they're like that character in a franchise that cannot be perceived as useless because they always have a skill or information that is important for the story-line.

♇ furthermore, kins who have their rising in leo see the world as their stage, their fashion walk or a place they need to dominate. these attributes can cause them to become people who are somewhat self-entitled as they believe they deserve everything they come across and get upset when they cant have the specific outcome in the time they want. imagine the song "i want it all" by sharpay evans. [they need to understand they cant have a certain thing during the time they want it because they wont know how to handle it then.]

♇ additionally, the ascendant being the house of self-image indicates that they could be really interested about how people think about them where there can be other leo risings who don't care how people perceive them. leo belongs to the celestial planet the sun, so even if they do care about people's opinions about them or not, there'll still be people who would attempt to throw some comments/shade about them. however, when evolved, they'll understand that they are somewhat succeeding in life to have people continuously speak about them. when it comes to self-image, leo risings know what they're good at, or they're on the path of understanding the talents and skills they can portray to the world, they're people who cant wait to show what they can do, the type to skip the tutorial and just get into it.

♇ finishing with the impact they have on other people, evidently with leo in the first house, this can either go really good or it can go really bad. they could leave people feeling insecure about their skills because they feel like the leo in the first house native can do it better than them. furthermore, they could also make someone feel inspired, inspired to become a better version of themselves knowing that it can be reached. the impact leo ascendants can leave on other people is to feel seen, they can easily reach the heart of someone and can give them the light [as they are ruled by the sun] an individual has been searching for.

[theboywhocan11]

To learn patience in the Bene Gesserit Way, you must begin by recognizing the essential, raw instability of our universe. We call nature-meaning this totality in all of its manifestations-the Ultimate Non-Absolute. To free your vision and permit you to recognize this conditional nature's changing ways, you will hold your two hands at arm's length in front of you. Stare at your extended hands, first the palms and then the backs. Examine the fingers, front and back. Do it.
