Mild spoiler for Dune. A: I just watched part 1 of Dune. B: Oh, I heard it was good. It’s about a war, isn’t it? A: _(laughing)_ Well yes, but there must be a thousand films about a war… B: But it _is_ about a war. A: It is. That’s just not the _first_ thing that comes to mind to describe it. B: It’s definitely the film I’m thinking of. A: I didn’t think you’d want to watch it because it’s science fiction. B: It’s science fiction?! A: Yes… B: What film am _I_ thinking of?! ---

I hear there was sand on the beaches at Normandy. And in Vietnam (the helicopter attack in _Apocalypse Now_). And in Burma (_The Bridge on the River Kwai_). ---

Perhaps _this_ is the film they were thinking of. If so, I can see why they were suprised to be told it was a science fiction film about a war… ![image](https://discussion.tekeli.li/uploads/default/original/3X/8/7/87d313e955f7f1f3d8af16d9e8daa03b73d4eefd.jpeg) [Previous page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/actual-things-you-actually-said-or-heard-in-the-last-24-hours/2198.md?page=117) [Next page](https://discussion.tekeli.li/t/actual-things-you-actually-said-or-heard-in-the-last-24-hours/2198.md?page=119)
