i have no issue with longer form narratives, and in fact i am probably more likely to enjoy creating those forms of story telling than the feature film narrative of the 90min to 2hrs benchmarks.
but considering Dune (2021) is not alone in this sort of vague or passive protagonist, i am curious if it is accidental or intentional. Nolan is capable of traditional narrative. DV has also seem to like subjects who are somewhat helpless. Hitchcock had a similar interest in the characters of Jimmy Stewart.
i find ancient literature has no such narrative rules that we adhere to these days, in particular modern western story telling rules.
part of the oddity of the push for “experience Dune in theaters” as if it is some last refuge for feature film making, meanwhile being only half a story, to me is somewhat hilarious.
