Jodorowsky's Dune is not a movie, but a surreal legendary movie dream. Its dream is full of passion and imagination, but it is also destined to be unable to project into reality because of thinking that transcends the times. Dali, Orson Wilson, Pink Floyd, HR Giger... Which one is not a pioneer artist who has surpassed his own era, and these top figures in different fields are actually screwed together by an artistic dream, which will What a gorgeous dream it was, one couldn't help trembling.


I think that even if Jodorowsky's sand dunes are actually photographed, it will not necessarily change the world as Jodorowsky said, but it will definitely bloom a strange flower for the world. Jodorowsky is a very talented director. From "The Mole" to "Holy Mountain" and "Holy Blood", the bursting artistic imagination is mixed with rich metaphors, from the depth of thinking to the breadth of art , both conveyed his unique artistic concept to people. He could have used "Dune" to complete an attempt to hit the peak of art, but in fact it was also a big gamble. In the end, the reality was unwilling to bear the price of this failure. In Jodorowsky's eyes, the "expensive" price of the pen is not as good as dung. This is the choice of the slaves.


A true warrior dares to face the bleak life, Jodorowsky himself is an artist full of charisma, his magic can attract talented artists to follow him to create, to break the shackles of the rules, ambitious To conquer the world, his surging passion and uncontrollable imagination will not fade away with time. He is an artist worthy of respect now, just like he was forty years ago. a true warrior.


Although Jodorowsky's dune died, the dream of the dune is still alive. It does not project a real body, but no one dares to deny the existence of this dream. This dream is as real as Paul's body. Beating heart, vigorous blood, breathing imagination, glaring at the terrified slave hiding in the corner, clutching in his hand the clock that Jodorowsky kept losing in the sand.

    At the end of the day, movies are for businessmen, politicians, philosophers, conspirators, and dudes with extraordinary creative talent, not for pure artists. Pure artist wanting to do movies is what happened to Jodorowsky and his Dune.

    In fact, I like Jodorowsky's works in general, the style is quite avant-garde, and the sense of form is great, but I don't really like what he wants to express. So at first I was glad that his "Dune" failed, and I was glad that this work was not destroyed (unfortunately, it was later destroyed by Lynch... As a fan, it was unexpected...). But after watching this documentary, I was really shocked by the strong production team, and also admired Jodorowsky's extreme enthusiasm and boldness in his creation. Although I partially disagreed with his thoughts on completing the work, it still did not affect him. In my heart, I am a rare crazy artist in the film and television industry. Compared with his works, I love his passionate creative process more. It's a pity that this extremely large video art has no chance of being realized. As Hollywood, such a choice is also reasonable. Jodorowsky's visual language is too obscure for commercial films, although it may be a great Art, but it will never be a successful commercial film, it can only be said to be a regret of the times.

Jodorowsky's Dune quotes

  • Self - Actor - Dune: Can nobody understand Dali because myself, never understand my work. Never Dali understand one painting of Dali because Dali only create enigmas.

  • Alejandro Jodorowsky: I wanted Mick Jagger to play Feyd-Rautha, a character. How am I going to contact this person who is not going to be impressed that I have the great power to make a movie? He is in the peak of his fame, of his glory. How? And I was invited to an event in Paris. It was a big gathering of the Parisian bourgeoisie and at the other side of the room, a big room, I don't know, maybe 150 square meters, was Mick Jagger. I saw him from a distance and I think he saw me and I saw him walking, he started walking. He started walking between the people and I then realized that he was coming to me. He crossed the room and he stood in front of me. And I told him, "I want you for my movie." And he said only one word, "Yes."
