Dune (dir. by David Lynch)

I thought it was kinda boring a lot of the times, but it was still interesting to watch. Its weirdness was much further from being tiresome to watch than Eraserhead's was.

It did have some really awesome quotes though. That alone made the film worth the watch. I especially like this one:

"I'm dead to everyone unless I try to become what I may be." -Paul

I thought that quote was awesome, not sure if I can explain why... maybe just because to me, self-development has become such an important value, I am moved by any event where I see that people look to develop their own potential. I definitely seek that within myself. Also, the way he states it, it is both sure and unsure. He's dead to everyone, that's definitely a sure statement, unless "I try" to become "what I may be." Just very interesting, I really had to pause the movie and replay that part a few times to get the exact wording right because it seems very important. He's not sure what he will become yet he is sure that if he doesn't pursue it he is as good as dead. Just thinking it's really fucking lovely. And I don't know if I have any more words regarding the statement, other than the impact it has on me. It's like when I read a book and I also just have to pause after reading a good quote and my eyes just stare off into space in apparent stupidity because my brain is blank. I remain in that state for a while, not even thinking of the quote just sort of having been struck by it haha, it's a great experience actually, and it happened to me a BUNCH of times when reading 1984. I guess some might call that a 'mindfuck'... but anyway, with time I may be more able to understand this quote, and I guess I just hope not to forget it.
