   In the 2021 movie, all the sets look identical (larger than life, drab and brutalist), all the costumes look the same, the music is same-same throughout and grating after 10 minutes. Dune in 1984 creates this disorienting sense of truly being in a different world, a different universe, an unsettling an alien place.

   Was the 1984 version of Dune cheesy?

   • The 2021 version of Dune was easier to watch, but in 1984, the actors weren't considered cheesy at all. The 1984 version didn't focus on character development through inner thoughts as much as the 2021 version did, instead choosing to highlight the cinematography.

   Was '1984' based on a true story?

   • That is why one of the unproven rumors about “1984” — as explored in Dorian Lynskey’s “The Ministry of Truth,” a respectful and intelligent “biography” of a novel — is that the title was merely a transposition of its publication date, 1948. In other words, in Orwell’s eyes, “1984” was well already well-established four decades before it got here.
