I used to not accept Hans Zimmer and various living composers until I saw Dune.

In 1968, 2001 Space Odyssey came out, and Kubrick jokingly joined the Blue Danube of the Strauss family and Also sprach Zarathustra of Richard Strauss. In 1977, the first Star Wars was released, which brought the entire film industry into commercialization, and created a new theme of space opera together with John Williams. It is obvious that there exists theme music for every important person and event, especially Darth Vader, which corresponds to the dominant motive in the opera. The dominant motive is the repetitive melody of one to two bars corresponding to each character. The band harmony and chants corresponding to the characters all indicate a certain character image.

Objectively speaking, as a mixer, he does lack the talent of conductor and composer to control the delicate emotions, making it difficult to create gorgeous or poignant themes such as Darth Vader themes and Hedwig themes. His creations on the Dune alone make people think about whether these sentences are merely functional or repetitive. However, Paul's theme is brought by the playing of tubular instruments in the movie and the shouting of vocals, as if it were Zimmer's attempt at the emotional part of mixing and synthesizing. An example of this part is Leaving Caladan in the original soundtrack. This style of music also appeared many times in subsequent key plots of Paul.

The accompaniment from the synthesizer began to have a certain emotional core, and its achievement and shock was no less than that of the movie's entry into the rare space opera movies since Star Wars. The emergence of religious colors in the movie, such as the soundtrack Premonition, on the other hand, also returns to the religious form of the early stage of classical music, I have to say that it is a clever way of soundtracking.

Every film critic will not be parsimonious for beautiful words. On the whole, I feel that it is on the same level as Star Wars. Compared with Space Odyssey, although there is a similar movie-watching experience, it still lacks a bit of detached imagination.

I live in China mainland, and I watched this movie in 2021. My roommate during my undergraduate study and I planned to go to Hong Kong to support the freedom movement and were proud of being members.

The COVID-19 is the biggest fig leaf for Communist bandits. Even if something big happened in Hong Kong, the domestic attention has been diverted. The population decline in the country and the deteriorating political environment have also been obscured by the national pride that the seemingly good isolation policy has brought about effective treatment of the epidemic. The banning of Apple Daily and the prohibition of demonstrations seem to sing hymns to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party. However, the environment in mainland China and Hong Kong is getting worse. Although we are a little desperate for the current freedom movement, we still hope that the Hong Kong freedom movement will succeed so that some of the sleeping mainlanders will wake up and realize that they are being oppressed by the Communist bandits.

Thanks to Netflix for the great documentary, and I wish glory to HK.
