Review and Explanation of the Ending of the 2021 DUNE Film
Many people say that watching the 2.5 hour film Dune makes you sleepy because the story is slow and there are lots of conversations, but I don't think that's the case after watching it yesterday after work.
For those of you who like films by director Denis Villeneuve, you can definitely understand this, such are his characteristics, such as when working on the films Blade Runner 2049, Arrival 2016 and my favorite, Sicario, which was broadcast in 2016.
Predicted to be a contender for the galaxy films Star Wars and Star Trek, it seems from the story side that Dune will be able to compete.
Rather than the exploitation of shootouts or chases in empty space, the intrigue of the struggle for power and politics is very strong in this remake film.
In general, Dune tells the story of how the empire suppressed a kingdom called Atreides, the ruler of a sea-mountain planet that was growing day by day and becoming a threat to the empire.
The way to do this is by giving power to power and getting the task of mining rare and expensive minerals called "spices" on a desert planet called Arrakis.
Previously, for 80 years, this colony was managed by another kingdom called Harkonnen, suddenly this change made Harkonnen not accept it and carried out a coup which was actually predicted by King Atreides.
Unfortunately, the struggle for power occurred with a drama of betrayal from within so that Atreides was not ready to fight with all his strength.
The crown prince, the future successor to King Atrides, named Paul, survived with his mother after successfully escaping from the enemy and meeting the Fremen tribe, native to the planet Arrakis.
The film ends just when the new story starts to get exciting and hot, Paul, who is also mentioned in the prediction of the Fremen tribe to become the leader of "Al Mahdi" or "Lisan Al Ghaib" is living his destiny towards becoming the next leader of the Atreides and Fremen with the aim of regaining power. taken by the Harkonnen and the tyrannical empire.
Hopefully the Dune film will be financially successful, so that the sequel Dune Chapter Two can be produced and answer the audience's curiosity regarding the continuation of Paul's struggle, even though we know this film is based on the best-selling science fiction novel by Frank Herbert.
The technological side displayed is also interesting, sophisticated, combining futuristic and ancient sides at the same time.
The Plot of the Film Dune Reminds the History of Colonization in Indonesia
While many people associate the film Dune with terms in Islam and the Middle East, after the film ended what came to my mind was the history of colonialism in Indonesia.
The planet Arrakis is like an archipelago with its wealth of spices. Countries came that initially wanted to trade, then wanted to rule and colonize, then a collective consciousness began to emerge to fight and fight for independence.
Arrakis as a planet and the Fremen as its local population could only be seen and exploited by the invaders who came and went, the empire, the Harkonnen and the Atreides.
Similar to the archipelago and Indonesia, which at least in historical records was colonized by 6 countries because of its spice and natural wealth.
1. Portuguese
Portugal became the first country to colonize the Indonesian archipelago. The Portuguese colonized Indonesia for approximately 86 years from 1509 to 1595.
2. Spain
Spain became the second country to colonize Indonesia. Spain collaborated with the Tidore kingdom under the guise of trading spices which were very abundant in Indonesia at that time.
Spain colonized Indonesia for quite a long time, namely from 1521 to 1962.
Overall, Dune is a drama film set in the future and space war, which is interesting and recommended to watch, so you don't get sleepy, stay enthusiastic and provide coffee.
3. Netherlands
The Dutch were the country that colonized Indonesia the longest, for almost 3 and a half centuries they controlled Indonesia. The Dutch began to colonize Indonesia from 1602 to 1942.
4. France
France became the 4th country to colonize Indonesia, but France did not take as long as the previous countries that colonized Indonesia. France only colonized Indonesia for 5 years, starting from 1806 to 1811.
5. England
England became the 5th country to colonize Indonesia after France left Indonesia. The British colonized Indonesia from 1811 to 1816.
6. Japan
Japan was the last country to colonize Indonesia. And the fastest was just three and a half years, namely 1942 to 1945.
However, even for a short time, Japan was the cruelest in colonizing Indonesia compared to the previous five countries.
