'Dune' and the Environmental ODS

Denis Villeneuve has become the reference director of a science fiction that we could qualify as "adult" or "intellectual", without these adjectives having any pejorative component.He began his career in Canada and then moved to Hollywood and his last three films, authentically notable, have assigned the aforementioned genre of the science fiction, from three very different approaches.First was the arrival (The Arrival, 2016) the best film of him to date, where he proposed an encounter with aliens based on linguistic communication and how this can facilitate a new understanding of the world.Later he dared with Blade Runner 2049 (2017) to continue the mythical Ridley Scott movie, creating a film that, despite his ups and downs, is a spectacular film in its production design and very successful in the continuation of the great questions thatIt raises the story of Philip K. Dick that adapted Scott's tape.

A couple of weeks ago, the adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, where Villeneuve tells us the story of the Domerides House, and how they are responsible for the exploitation of the planet Arrakis for the extraction of the extraction of theEspecia Melange, a unique substance that constitutes one of the basic energy sources of the empire where the story takes place.

The story of the young Paul Domerides and his family is related in Dune in a superb way, interspersing intimate and reflection sequences with spectacular set-skirts of action shot with a specular planning and sense of rhythm.But what most attracts the attention of the film is the ability of its director to move to landscapes and environments in the future world masterfully designed from the artistic point of view and that respond to the idea of Herbert's novel.

The film covers only the first part of the aforementioned novel and we will have to wait to see its result at the box office to know whether the Canadian director may or may not roll the second part.And it would be an injustice that could not complete this complex, wonderful and attractive fresh of characters, noble lineages, battles and planets that make us remember at certain times of thrones, but that have their own idiosyncrasy and landscapes.

The mixture of politics, philosophy, religion and ecology that Dune narrates through the initiatory trip of the young Paul Domerides, a successwithout giving up the cinematographic show that at all times have screenwriters and director.

It is in the ecological aspect that poses the history of Dune where it links with the Sustainable Development objectives (SDGs) approved in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly in the known as 2030 Agenda. The plot that starts the film andwhich will constitute one of its main axes: the replacement of the Harkonnen house with the house in the exploitation of the planet Arrakis (imposing and desert scenario and the hometown of the tribe of the Fremen) where the melange spice is covered, is initially configured as a change where the family of the young protagonist intends an exploitation of the resources of the most rational, ecological and respectful planet with the native population of the planet than the one that had carried out their dark predecessors.

This exploitation of resources respectful of the environment and the environment is at the base of the environmental objectives of the SDGs among which we can cite the adoption of urgent measures to combat climate change and its effects, the conservation and sustainable use of theOceans, seas and marine resources, and the protection, restoration and promotion of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably managing forests, fighting desertification and braking the loss of biological diversity.
