From the Childhood Game 'Dune' to the Movie 'Dune': Immersed in a Grand Universe

When I was a child, there was a game I couldn't get enough of, spending countless hours in front of the computer. It was 'Dune'. Back then, I didn't know much English, but the game's world was so captivating that I was completely immersed in it. It was much later that I realized that 'Dune', which I simply thought of as a well-made game, actually had a tremendous history.

Last year, I watched the movie 'Dune' Part 1, and recently, I've also seen Part 2. Through the movies, I encountered 'Dune's vast world and fascinating characters, which led me to search for information about the original novel online. I was surprised to learn that 'Dune' is a landmark work in the SF fantasy genre, alongside 'The Lord of the Rings'.

The movie 'Dune' successfully captures the deep world-building of the original novel. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the vast desert planet 'Arrakis', boasting an overwhelming scale, and the individuality and conflicts of each character are also depicted in an intriguing way.

A particularly impressive aspect of the movie is the way it portrays the environment and ecosystem of 'Arrakis'. The giant sandworms, the harsh climate, and the diverse creatures that inhabit it all contribute to enriching the world of 'Dune'. Furthermore, the inner portrayals and growth processes of the main characters, including Paul Atreides, are delicately expressed, enabling viewers to become more deeply immersed in the narrative.

Completely absorbed in the world of 'Dune' through parts 1 and 2, I'm already filled with anticipation hearing that a 3rd part is in production.
The game 'Dune' that I enjoyed in my childhood is considered a classic in the real-time strategy genre. It gained immense popularity back then due to its innovative game system and graphics. Having first encountered the 'Dune' universe through the game, I've been captivated by its charm once again through the movies.

The original novel 'Dune' has been hailed as a masterpiece of the SF fantasy genre since its publication in 1965. The novel delves into an even more expansive world and complex characters than the movie, and it also explores philosophical and contemplative themes in depth.

Without spoilers, 'Dune' is a work that anyone who enjoys the SF fantasy genre should experience at least once. I hope you'll discover the allure of 'Dune' in various forms – through the game, the movie, and the original novel.

'Dune' is not just a simple SF fantasy work. It's a piece that contains profound insights into politics, the environment, religion, and human nature. As we delve deeper into the world of 'Dune', we are prompted to reconsider ourselves and the world we inhabit.
