How do shields work?

One of the main calls is the historical settings, as well as fictional stories based in historical environments, to give the book the opportunity to avoid ancient weapons boring of exciting weapons such as swords and knives. It is often an interesting and non -personal individual battle, while the sword battle forces the two people to wake up in each other’s faces. It is a much more cinematic method for two people to fight to death, Although weapons battles can also be cold as well.

While Frank Herbert put the events of “sand dunes” in the future (as in 20,000 years in the future), he still understands the attractiveness of the fighting scenes closely. This may be the reason that he reached an idea of ​​a very specific type of future shield, which has been honest with future feelings of property while explaining the need for some really wonderful swords.

They are called Holsman Shields. They are mobile devices that cover the body of their wearer completely. The shield protects its user from high -speed projectiles, but it also allows slow -moving traffic. The attractiveness of this is very clear. It keeps the user permanently protected from snipers and other distant attacks, while still allowing them to do basic things like the objects you hold or wear new clothes. Holtzmans does not make an invincible person, but at least they force any potential killers to try more dangerous ways to attack. If you are going to kill someone with his shield, you will approach it; No shooting from a distance is allowed.

The Denis Villeneuve 2021 movie is a very good job that proves how SHIELDS works. There is an early fighting scene between Paul (Timothy Chalite) and Jerney Halik (Josh Brolin) showing how shields affected the sword in this universe. Not only weapons are ineffective in this position, but the destruction of typical clumsy and swinging does not work completely either. In order to kill someone with the Holkitman Shield, you must get your sword blade near it and then slide slowly.

But although the shields may have forced the books (and their modifications) to adopt swords as a realistic way of war, I do not think that none of the main “David Lynch’s 1984 Organy” films have succeeded in making) the sword battles appear to be cold when you participate Shields. Shelds Holsmann of Velleov may seem more clear than CGI CGI formed in Lynch’s Sword Fight, but the result is that a lot of movement in his first movie “Dunes” is unhappy. Especially during the fall of the atrial house in the second half of the “sand dunes: the first part”, a lot of violence that should be brutally feels strange. Even with a better technology in his fingertips, Villeneuve could not make the shield battles look good. This may be the reason that “sand dunes: the second part” seem to get rid of them to a large extent.

However, even if the films are not able to make the shield battles look great as the readers of books might have hoped, shields still achieve the purpose of fun of justifying the reason for training any of these characters very well in the sword. They also represent the way to the exciting battle between Paul and Jams (Dune: Part One “, as well as The climatic fencing between Paul and Feyd-RAUTHA (Austin Bater) in “sand dunes: the second part”. Not only that, it also helps in providing some easy visual reduction to communicate that the character is militants; When Feyd-Rutha abolished the Holtzman shield before fighting a character in Harkonne Coliseum in “Dune: Part Tho”, the film tells us a lot about his specified brand of corruption without the need for Feyd to speak with a word.

In short, the shields in “Dune” not only protect their users from bullets and other projectiles, but also help to create characters values, and the violence is confirmed personally and directly as possible. It is strange that with All the things that the “Star Wars” took from the books of “Sand Dunes”By focusing on the sword -based fighting to their sudden proportions, it reveals that the privilege has never tried anything like “Dune” Saga Holtzman Shield. George Lucas may have known that he would not be able to withdraw these special effects as well.
