      ​@RandomNPC001 Herbert's original draft was just basically Lawrence of Arabia, which he was a huge fan of the story and myth around it and it was a massive influence on Dune. He realised it was basically just a copy of the story so he changed some parts of it.

      Also the way I interpreted the one at the end was that it was more of a metaphor. Him getting stabbed was the death of the person he was before killing Jamis, as the voices say in the vision that “for the quizach haderack to rise, Paul atreides must die” and “to take a life, you must give up your own.” In a way paul is a different person after killing Jamis, and the old Paul is dead.

    Some clarifications - Leto is the father of Jessica’s 2nd baby. She didn’t cheat. The blue eyes just come from exposure to spice. Paul sees possible futures not definite futures. He used the vision of himself dying to figure out how to win the fight. No one is time travelling. The Voice does not enable Paul to move gigantic objects with his mind. He still is not good enough to even influence a person properly yet. Ash is onto something about how menacing Paul looked in the visions of the future.

      Paul of course sees possible futures. But more than that, in Amtal, the fremen you kill lives through you. In the book, Paul come to 'inherit' this man's wife and property. Because of that, to see Paul getting stabbed or Paul stabbing him are the same thing.

      You guys are my favourite reactors. In fact, you are the reason I started watching reactions. Having said that this reaction was hard to watch. It was like seeing two people clowning whilst watching the Godfather. It was disappointing. Please, please, please rewatch this movie, preferably more than once, before seeing Dune part two. I read this book when I was 14. It is to science fiction what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. This is a very complex movie that requires 100% of your attention. Dune parts one and two is a SINGLE book. This isn't the best sci-fi movie of the year. Together parts one and two are the best fucking movie made in decades.
      HBO just released a prequel trailer for a Dune series focused on the Bene Gesserit. As it's a series and not a film I'm hoping Hannah will do the reactions on her channel. BTW, loving GoT and Stranger Things reactions.
      Oh yeah Ash, you missed a HUGE "symbolism." The bull's head. The old Duke, Leto's father, was killed by that bull while bull fighting it. They hung it up to remind them of death and hubris. They took it with them to Arrakkis. It symbolises the fact that Duke Leto's death is fated and inevitable.

    Paul basically killed himself by killing Jamis. In the books there's a part, Jamis's funeral. Jamis's friends say something good about him. Then everyone wants Paul to say something nice about Jamis. Paul starts to cry, everyone is in shock cause they don't waste their body liquids even for crying. They whisper in shock "Look, he is giving water to the dead". And Paul speaks with a shaken voice "Jamis was my friend. He taught me that there is a price for killing someone."
    Gosh I love that part! I wish they could show us that scene in the second movie.

      3) You need the right director who's style mirrors the style of the book. Villeneuve didn't know how to handle the internal dialogue/poker face nature of Dune because he's visually orientated. He wanted to make it entertaining to the lowest common denominator and part 2 is what we got in the end. An almost Marvelization/parody of the source material. And people still root for Paul Atreides which is hilarious because it's the one thing he didn't want to happen. Despite spoon feeding the audience "paul is bad paul is bad paul is bad"

    I think a misunderstanding is that Lady Jessica had Paul just as part of a plan. As the Reverend Mother said, she was told only to produce daughters. She in-fact only had Paul because she loved Duke Leto so much and knew he desperately wanted a son. It was only later that she realised he could possibly be the one and The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood began meddling. Jessica is seen as a disgrace to the order because she didn’t do as she was told. Then she starts pursing the fact that Paul might be the Kwisatz Haderach as a means of ensuring that he survives.
    Also she never allowed Leto to marry her despite him wanting to because she knew that if she remained his concubine it would put house Atreides in a more powerful position as other houses would think they could make an alliance through marriage. IMO she gets a bad rap but I honestly feel that she does her best out of love for Leto and Paul.

    A few very important things that the movie doesn’t explain that I’m sure others have pointed out in the comments but I’m gonna say anyways:
    1. The shields are standard for warriors. They can only be penetrated by slow movement (otherwise oxygen wouldn’t be able to pass through) that’s why they don’t use guns-they were forced to go back to swords in combat. It’s also why the needle and the bombs moved so slowly when they hit the shields.
    2. The gentleman who Hannah correctly described as a “human calculator” is a Mentat-they’re human calculators. There are NO computers in Dune. 10,000 years before the movie, there was a war between mankind and AI-Mankind won and all computing tech was banned. They had to train people to fulfill the role of computers.
    3. The spice works by giving people premonitions. That’s why they need it for interstellar travel. Using the kind of engine they use for hyperspace travel is VERY dangerous-it’s just as likely you’ll fly into a star or a planet as it is that you’ll get where you need to go. The guild navigators, a group that has a monopoly on space travel, use the spice to briefly see into the future to safely plot interstellar routes.

    My cousin gave me the book Dune to read, I think in 1972. The book was THICK! He gave me a ‘rule of thumb’, an abbreviated idea to put certain things into perspective. The Imperial troops, the Sardaukar, lived in a brutal and savage planet that created an army of super soldiers who had no concept of defeat or retreat. Their psyche and their world were turned upside down when they encountered the Fremen of Arrakis. The Fremen lived in a more brutal and more savage world than that of the Sardaukar. Even a Fremen child was a match for a fully trained Sardaukar. It wasn’t that simple, but that is what my cousin told me to prepare me for Dune. NOTHING could prepare me for Dune! Lasers are not used because of personal shields. Lasers hitting shields result in a ‘nuclear’ explosion. So every one uses knives and swords instead. Because of their own version of war against Skynet, no droids or computers are allowed.

    The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood trains females to control every muscle fiber, every nerve, every organ. They learn to notice minutiae in other people (the twitch of an eyelid, the tiny momentary pursing of the lips, a tremor in the hands, a droplet of sweat on the brow) to know when someone is lying, telling the truth, trying to manipulate you, etc. This is why they are Truthsayers. They don’t train males, which is why the Reverend Mother was angry with Jessica training him. Paul has also been trained as a Mentat, the human computers. He is the whole package.
    Baron Harkonnen is a human (there are only humans) but is so immensely obese that he needs to use suspensor technology to levitate around. Gurney Halleck says the Harkonnens “aren’t human, they’re brutal” as a figure of speech, everyone is human. He bathes in the black goo to heal from the poison gas attack.
    Voice is a Bene Gesserit skill that requires using exactly the right pitch, tone, volume, emphasis to make other people obey automatically without thinking. They can’t do that to sandworms because there’s no pitch and tone that a worm can hear.
    You cannot use lasers around shields. They both use subatomic technology and if you hit a shield with a lasgun it causes a subatomic explosion on both ends which would destroy both parties and everyone nearby. Imperial Law states that if you use atomics on a human population, the Emperor will destroy your entire planet.

The emperor has quite some military assets, but the Sardaukar are known throughout the galaxy as the best fighters, the strongest army, only rivaled by the most elite Atreides and, later, surpassed by the Fremen Fedaykin (the elite caste of the "Sand People"). However, the fight of Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) here is actually very acurate if not even underpowered, because Duncan Idaho is a swordmaster. This is basically Dune's Jedi Masters. Swordmasters are no ordinary soldiers or fighters. Only powerful noble houses could afford to have one (or at best a few) swordmaster of the highest ranks and Duncan Idaho was considered to be one of the best swordmasters that ever existed.

    And please pay attention. Keep your eyes on the movie when you're talking and try not to talk so much when the characters are talking. They''re often giving you info you need to know.

The blue eyes is because of spice, as mentioned at the start, we also see paul with those blue eyes in his visions. The Fremen believe in the lisan-al gaieb, which is the same thing as the bene gesserit's kwisatz haderach.

      They keep talking like crazy all the freaking time, so of course they’re missing so much information that is given to them so clearly in the movie.

    The reason why they use swords and spears is because of the shield technology. The shields are so strong that bullets deflect off. Lasers actually cause nuclear explosions when they hit a shield, therefore lasers are impractical and rarely used.
    Therefore you have to get in close, get under the shield with a blade.

    the visions of Jamis stabbing Paul was a visual representation of how by killing Jamis, he killed himself.
    reiterating the “To take a life is to take your own.”
    that’s also why in the visions Jamis also tells him that he will show him the ways of the desert.
    That’s exactly what he did.

    If you feel like it's not a stand alone movie, it's because the movie part 1 is half of the 1st book story, part 2 is the other half. There is so much world building that they need to prepare you for and they did cut out from the book. So glad you loved it and can't wait to see part 2!!!

    AS I see it, Paul's visions of him being killed are metaphorical instead of being literal. The person that Paul is, the innocent child, must die and be replaced with his adult self. Him killing for the first time destroys his innocence, kills it, and he is not the same person afterward. He is someone new.

      Also in the book he is cherished by the fremen for his fighting prowes and his mother directly goes harsh at him telling him not to be happy about killing another humam being. She doesnt want him to become a monster who likes killing. So down the line he becomes worse than all human dictators combined, but he doesnt like it, so good work mom.😂

      A voice says "Paul Atreides must die for Kwizats Haaderach to rise." The voice later says "When you take a life, you take your own." Paul Atreides died when he killed Jamis, and The One was born

    Also the Baron has a Swedish accent.
    Also in Fremen tradition to waste any of your bodys moisture is seen as borderline sacrilege. So to offer your bodys moisture in greeting is a sign of the highest respect.
