The so-called extended version is actually another editing of the later TV show. There are two passages, which add up to nearly three hours. Because Lynch himself rejected several works, the director's name was Adam Smithee, a conventional code name. Bad movies are for sure, and it can't be said that Lynch doesn't have the right to edit, and fans just dump the pot to others. After all, imagined works can be infinitely perfect, but what we evaluate is the only reality. Lynch’s regret for losing the editing rights is that for movie fans, he has lost the opportunity to interpret Dune from Lynch’s original perspective—this opportunity to interpret great sci-fi works from the perspective of a great director, regardless of whether the final adaptation of the film itself is successful or not. Is precious.

Another feeling from watching movies is that the use of diverse actors in film production is not simply "political correctness", but something that must be seriously considered to produce great works that transcend the limitations of the times. People in the future look back at today's movies, just like people today look back at the sand dunes in 1984. When the magnificent universe in the text appears on the screen, the actor configuration of a pure Caucasian is extremely ridiculous. As a fantasy work facing the future, it has failed since the beginning of the portrayal of people. If future audiences cannot see themselves in today's works, why can today's works remain attractive in the future?

With lessons learned from the past, if someone still clings to the idea that the original work is Caucasian, and simply regards expanding the diversity of actors and characters as “political correctness” that caters to the current public opinion environment-such people are the ones who need to be the most in need. People inspired by good fantasy works. Fantasy is born to rebel against the past.

    The quality of the entire movie is actually average, the special effects were very good in those days, and the scenes were grand, and the standard was between the unfinished Star Wars sequels, but it has pitted a lot of film artists, so one star is deducted. To be honest, the level of this film is too much like those bad Hollywood commercials, so that I didn't realize that this thing is the work of David Lynch who made "Eraser Head" at all!

    Expensive and curious. Too much procrastination. Some heavy flavors are fun. But the line story is too fragmented. The Japanese love hahaha, revealing the aesthetic. The similarity to Star Wars is too high. Take a look at the original. The setting is full of weak in fact.
