The Powers of the Illuminati

 I've been watching so much movies recently. It's great to have television connection with free movies.


 

So, let us start with DUNE the movie. The original movie DUNE starring Kyle Maclachlan and Sean Young was the original. You know what I like in this movie when I watched it in 1984 in the big cinema? When I first watched this sci-fiction movie it was such a hit because all the great actors compiled in this epic. Actors such as Max Von Sydow (played Jesus Christ in the  Greatest Movie Ever Told), Patrick Stewart (Star Trek), STING (the famous singer), Virginia Madsen as the beautiful Princess Irulan and other great actors. They all were beautiful. It was indeed stunning! All of the actors/actress have blue eyes illuminating the screen. The Shadow women and the Baron were scary. Their costumes or body suit almost fit every scenes for every action. It is colorful. The lines for every script or every dialogue delivered is perfectly mastered that including the baby Alicia had an outstanding performance. The performance is superb and believable of what would be the future. It is a futuristic story so it was indeed almost like it's real but what is unbelievable are the spaceships used in the original movie is unbelievable. That's it. I like the original version.

Days ago, I happened to watch the second version starring Timothee Chalumet in his portrayal as Paul Atriedes - the only son of Duke Leto & Lady Jessica who was from the Bene Gesserit- Shadow Women who are born with powers of telekinesis, ESP, and superpowers beyond wildest expectation. The Reverend Mother of the BG was disappointed that Lady Jessica had considered to have a baby boy instead. This latest version is about the early years of raising Paul who was still a young boy, no baby Alicia in sight. Not too many viewers can understand the real story of this movie. In the original version the story was narrated by the beautiful Irulan (sorry not McGovern but Virginia Madsen) who is the daughter of Emperor Shaddam IV.

It was year 10191. There are three Kingdoms with 3 territorial leaderships. Duke Leto had his kingdom away from the Emperor Shaddam's lair and far, far away from Arrakis or DUNE which is "owned" by the Fremen. 

Duke Leto received a gift from the Emperor (cousin of Duke Leto) that he can have Arrakis in his possession so his family decided to visit Arrakis and had seen what that kingdom of desert planet looks like, its people and the grave threat of the giant sandworms. The royal family stayed for the night. Lady Jessica felt something weird will happen and that premonition had indeed happened that they cannot control because that plan was initiated by the deceiver and the Harkonnen surprise attack succeeded that night, a poisoned needle  paralyzed the Duke Leto and was taken by assailant to the Emperor's kingdom. While Paul & Lady Jessica were taken by Harkonnen soldiers by ultra-modern helicopter. Helicopter that looked like a giant dragonfly. Lady Jessica used her power of pitch and because she and Paul also had self-defense skills they were able to free themselves from the enemies. From all the deceptions by the Emperor, that giving Arrakis or Dune was just the beginning of his manipulative intention and greedy ambition to control the whole world and universe. What the obese baron or emperor used for bathing is a pool of bloody red warm BLOOD.

What is DUNE known for anyway? It is the only source of the spice melange which is known for to extend life and makes travel easier and convenient. The spice can make you stronger and powerful. What the giant sandworms purpose in the Arrakis? That you can find out in the second version or Part 2 of DUNE the movie.

And maybe the Part 2 can open the story of Baby Alicia with superpowers and the presence of Princess Irulan. Maybe Chani (Zandaya) has more screen presence instead of being in those dreams only. I hope the actors and actresses wear colorful costumes instead of boring beige, brown or black. Dull colors are so boring. In the truest sense: Black, brown, white are not considered colors. Add red colors and blue colors. Peach, mint, aqua, orange... green.
