The Emperor set up the battle. The Atriedies were becoming too popular, and the Harkonnens were too rich. The battle wiped out the Atriedes while using most of the Harkonens money
Currently reading the book, and it was said the entire battle for Arrakis , not just Arrakeen, was equivalent to around 50 years of spice harvesting.
Was a huge investment.
The Atreides military, as trained by Duncan and Gurney, was also as good if not better than the Sardaukar, so the emperor had a legitimate reason to think that they might overthrow him.
@@melanie62954Ironically if the emperor just married off Irulan to Leto, he would've been still the most powerful man in the Imperium but ofc he let his pride get the better of him.
@@gudhaxer41343 You know, it's funny. I just reread Dune a couple of weeks ago, and I hadn't realized before that Irulan is several years older than Paul. So yeah, you're right--she could have been a viable marriage to Leto!
You got this movie better than a lot of native English speakers! And you're exactly right about the spice--it's a drug, and when taken in large amounts it gives some people prescience, or the ability to see future outcomes. The space navigators use it to foresee routes for faster-than-light travel through "folded" space that avoid potential collisions. Safe space travel wouldn't be possible without it. Paul is particularly sensitive to the spice because of his heritage (the Bene Gesserit sisterhood's breeding program) and his training, so he is able to see many possible futures. That's why he ended up having to kill Jamis even though he foresaw a possible friendship with him. If Jamis had made a different choice, they would have been friends. And from a metaphorical angle, Jamis did "teach him the ways of the desert".
In the tent when he sees the vision of the war, he's horrified, not because he doesn't want to be special, but because he foresees a holy war based on people worshiping him as a messiah. So essentially, if he becomes this messiah figure, he might be responsible for the deaths of billions of people. Whether he can avoid that fate, you'll have to see in part 2! It's so good, and moves MUCH faster than part 1. This film is pretty much all set up.
Movies usually don't explain it correctly. Spice is NOT the fuel for interstellar travel. Dune universe got rid of supercomputers and AI thousands of years before the story and you can't calculate a trajectory without computers. So they use Spice to enhance their mental abilities enough to foresee the safe trajectories instead of calculating them. And so, unless they make new computers, Spice is the only way to make interstellar travel safe, thus the Imperium NEEDS Spice (not just for the elite's own needs)
Jamis said to Paul in his vision, "I will teach you the ways of the desert." And through that fight, and the amtal invocation, he did.
"I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health." (Frank Herbert, author of the "Dune")
The Game of Thrones and Star Wars franchises drew significant inspiration from Frank Herbert's 1965 novel, Dune.
That’s a misconception
@@KaleFGB How so?
@@MarkHWillson Dune wasn’t an inspiration for Star Wars or GoT…….
@@KaleFGB Ummm do you know what a tautology is?
What I'm looking for is something like a statement from the creators of SW and GoT explicitly saying Dune did not inspire them...
@@MarkHWillson ay yes, the rock solid argument of “they didn’t say they didn’t not do it your honour”. Just wasting both our time at this point
You guys did a great job keeping up with the story I'd say. I'm a native English speaker who read the book and still find the subtitles really helpful for the Dune world. There are just so many names and words to learn.
There's not that many new names and words, maybe like 10.
There were more new words for people in The Fast and Furious.
If I’m not mistaken, the Guild Navigators (which we’ve barely seen yet) who calculate the interstellar paths needs huge amounts of the spice to fold space, tripping major balls to plot a course. And the pillaging of Arrakis is allegorical to the treatment of the Middle East and its oil. I hope you enjoyed this, I saw part 2 and it was SO intense!
Yes, in this world in the past there was a war, the Butlerian Jihad, against AI and thinking machines, humans do what a super computer would be used for, and they use Spice for this, the Navigators Guild for space travel and the Mentats are human calculators
The folding of space its made by the holtzman engine of the ships, the navigators just calculate the path
Dune is based on the novel Dune by Frank Herbert, just like the 1984 version
The suit recycles all bodily waste products that contain humidity. So they don't drink just reclycled sweat. I will leave the rest to your imagination...
Arrakis is a harsh planet and the Fremen culture is built around the need to conserve water in order to survive (and in order to fulfill a long term project I will not elaborate on in order to avoid spoilers). That's why Stilgar's act of spitting on the table was not an insult but actually a sign of respect: he was donating his most precious possession to people he was building an alliance with.
About Paul being shocked and scared by his visions, it's not clear from the movie, but in the books it's stated that the religious crusade his followers will embark on will result in a war that will kill tens of billions of human beings across the whole galaxy. That's why in that scene he is freaking out: he is glimpsing into a future where he is responsible of causing unimaginable destruction and death.
Its one of the things that make Dune so great. Paul can take a glimpse into what might become the future but he is unable to actually influence these events, its out of his control. His actions cause a djihad all across the known universe but there is nothing he can do to prevent it.
It annoys me that they simply don't notice these things, even when it's explained in text.
Lucky for you guys. You don't have to wait 3 years for part 2.
The spice is used to slow the aging process, that what they mean it gives health benefits
I LOVE DUNE. Thank you both so much for reacting to Part One!
If you're not interested in reading the book (which is amazing, btw), then I'd recommend a few videos on the story to fill in what was necessarily left out of the movie. Topics you might find interesting are the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats, the Spacing Guild, the life cycle of the worms and the source of spice, the water of life ceremony, there's just so much. It's a very complex and fascinating world.
The books are not amazing. They are alright
Seriously, y'all are more observant and really understand the details. Way better than other channels
I thought they missed a few things and misunderstood some things, but ok, "observant".
I think for watching Dune for the first time and not being familiar with it You guys have caught on to the story pretty good.
The original novels are a bunch of books and side encyclopedias that are between 450 to 600 pages each, it's no easy task to understand the subtile things, the "plans within plans". But what is the hardest thing is to know and be aware of the real world things that are the base on which Frank Herbert developed this future world. Multiple references to genetic memories, mutation, yoga, martial arts, religion... I can talk hours just about how the voice works in real life neurolinguistic programming and such things but I must say that Villeneuve did a great job being faithful to the novel and yet make a movie that anyone can watch without the benefit of reading the novel. It's always a pleasure to watch movies with you, you're lucky we are not neighbors 😂 Love you guys
Man after seeing the 2nd film this first one holds up incredibly well and adds so much to the whole story, especially seeing him afraid of the Holy War, and what's to come in his visions
The "plate" in the game made it possible to build an undamaged building. If you built buildings on bare rock, they'd only have half of their total damage points and you'd need to spend money to repair them.
Just wait for part 2
I feel this sentence of Paul's vision in the tent is key to the story: *"A war in my name! Fanatical legions worshipping at the shrine of my father's skull!"*
Keep this in mind when seeing part II and especially if they make a film from "Dune: Messiah" which is book two of the novels.
Best regards
Raoul G. Kunz
You two are going to LOVE Dune part 2. I highly recommend watching it in theaters. It’s awesome.
Kwisatz Haderach!😅 Perfect movie for you two.
I try to use subtitles all the time. Most action scenes in film are really loud, but when it cuts to a dialogue scene it's almost inaudible.
This movie was fantastic, and Part 2 was like the Empire Strikes Back of this generation.
You guys always do an excellent job, and always fun to waych😃
Dune is set 20000 years in the future, the calendar they use to say that it’s 10191 is based in AG years or After Guild, which started about 10000 years after the modern era
Paul is interesting because he's not a rags to riches story. The kid is rich and has the best training from the best men (idaho and Thanos) the best teachers, etc. So actually when his house is destroyed he's back to square one
My favorite reactors! It is SO much fun to watch with you! Thanks so much for letting us enjoy the movie with you, and may God bless you richly in every way!
I'm English and I put on subtitles as well, especially for a complex plot or characters.
Its funny you both mention Star Wars and Game of Thrones, the original novel of Dune (from 1965) was a MASSIVE inspiration to those stories!
Leto Atreides = Ned Stark - both super honourable and die early. Their stories are VERY similar when you look at them both..
Paul Atreides = Luke Skywalk - born on desert planet and heirs to great power
The Voice = The Force - the ability to control people with speaking
Emperor controlling everything in both Star Wars and Dune. SW took the sandworms from Dune.
These are just the more obvious inspirations but there's so more nuanced ones too.
The Dune novel is considered the most influential sci-fi novel for the amount of stories its inspired since it was written. Also, even for english native speakers some of this movie is hard to hear at times! Definitely good to have subs
Part 2 is AMAZING!! It's such a step up from an already great film. I've seen it twice at the cinemas already. Not sure when itll come out to watch at home but I hope you watch it as soon as its available!!
I grew up on this story and I just love your guys's reactions.Thank you so much❤🎉
The movies are based on a set of books that are really good reads. There was a tv mini series based on the books as well. Many did not like it, but I thought it was good. Yes the spice is a mind altering drug that allows the navigators to sort of bend space and time and make the long distance space travel possible. It's a lot to take in with a single viewing. I think you guys did a great job! Thanks for sharing it. 🙂
Great reaction!! 👍
There is so much lore. Amazing job adapting this
Awesome reaction of my favorite superhero movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Yeah, you need subtitles on or to get the right source to watch, I saw one reactor w/o them for this movie part 1and it didn't show what was said when the Fremen and Sardaukar were speaking their own language, which really should be translated & shown on screen. Glad it was there for you guys.
1:40 , Dune written by author Frank Herbert is set over 20,000 years into the future. An earlier story series called Foundation from a different writer Isaac Asimov is over 50,000 years into the future.
These two series from the 1950’s and 1960’s have greatly influenced many well known sci-fi franchises over the last 60 or so years. Star Trek and especially Star Wars were immensely influenced by Dune and Foundation.
Houses introduced so far are the Atredies, Harkonen, and Corino (Emporers house). Guildes: Spacing guild, Bene Geserit, Mentants (human calculators and colators), Imperial Conditioned Physicians (Dr Yueh).
Basically, the story is about how the 'hero principle' is a lie.
Yes, you got it. Many people wrongly thinks it's just about another "hero movie", specially here on UA-cam
There was a dune tv miniseries too.
I love the way you say that guys a good fighter that's Jason Momoa Aquaman and Gurney is Josh Brolin who played Thanos xx Rebecca Ferguson the mother is Ilsa from the Mission Impossible films xx The Duke is Oscar Isaacs who was the immortal in X Men Apocalypse and the Emperor is Stellan Skarsgard who played Eric Selvig in the Thor and Avenger films it has so many fabulous actors but if you get a chance watch the original it is amazing xx
there is so much lore in the Dune universe, you really need to read the books, of which there are several, to really appreciate the layers upon layers of story telling that Frank Herbert wrote.
The Dr. who was calling the worm but got stabbed in the back was going to ride it
Thew need the spice so they can travel thru hyperspace with out crashing into the stars.
Another thing about the spice is that once you become addicted to it (if your eyes become blue) you will die if you don't have any more.
Baron Harkonnen is professor Lambeau from Good Will Hunting
The emperor was behind the attack.
The Nose tube is to reclaim exhaled water from breathing.
there have been several games based off the book as well
How can the spice grow? An excellent question.
The biology of Arrakis was altered long ago ( perhaps by the ancestors of the Tleilaxu, biological engineers of the planet Bene Tleilax ), to make a designed living creature the primary predator. This ( 'Shai Hulud' or 'Old man' ), the smaller worms called 'little makers' which live deeper, eat and convert an biological matter they find.
The worms are chemical factories, which create several products: the 'spice melange', which in humans creates precognition, the ability to see the future, enabling navigators to avoid hazards in space flight.
It also extends life, and in large quantities causes physical mutations. The Third Stage Guild Navigators do not look remotely human any more.
The smaller worms can be drowned in water, which causes the bile of the sandworm to become 'the water of life', which enables the survivors ( it a deadly poison to drink ) to recall all of their earlier lives.
The third product is sand.
Arrakis was once green, and if Paul had not upset the plans, would have been green again one day. That's what the Kynes family were there fore, why the palm tree waterer mentioned an 'old dream', and why Chani's ( Kyne's daughter ) name is about a new spring.
I feel like spice is some kind of break down of sand. Maybe it's mixed with worm shit or something lol
This movie is big scale epic
Please watch this at least FIVE times before going to part 2!!! What can't you understand about things like "Spice is a powerful halucinogene used by navigators" and Paul's visions (he sees POSSIBLE future got damn it) etc etc??? Denis (pronounced as D-nee, French name) said several times in interviews that he put many hints and explanations to this movie to understand. Well Denis....obviously it wasn't enough, people still don't get what's going on 😕
Spice gives vision to navigators to avoid the rocks in space. In this movie he is a boy, only15. Worms are sand whales!
🔥🔥🔥
the relationship between imperial Sardaukar and Harkonens isn't adequately explored in any adaptation
You are a cute couple… I enjoyed this reaction
If you want to know what is happening, watch the 1984 version. It explains the cultures and is better adapted from the book. The special edition has some important info, too.
The 1984 version absolutely does not adapt the book better. That’s a straight up lie💀
All water even now has recycled sweat in it at this point.
Watch the 1984 movie, it "fleshes out" the movie much more. Visuals good but not great. Or you can read the book.
Complains about having to learn all these new weird names at the start of the film, but halfway through you’re using all the names perfectly 😂 Better than most reactors even.
I will not say anything in regards to the plot, at risk of “spoilers,” but one thing I do not think is a spoiler but continues the world building is that everyone in the Dune universe is a descendant from our current world-It’s our extremely distant future. Atreides is meant to be pronounced like Pleiades, as that family are meant to be descended from our Mediterranean cultures, specifically the Greeks. The one thing that disappointed me was the removal of the obviously Arabic words, (ie. “jihad” gets replaced with “holy war”.)
The spice is often referred to as “the spice mélange,” and the cultures within the Dune universe are meant to be a mélange of our own cultures here on 20th century (now 21st) Earth. Often, that is represented in the diversity of language & the languages (I mean, it is a book after all.)
As an American, I can tell you that knowing more than one language is very much not common in many places, but the one place where people do have the time and resources to learn multiple languages, since as far back as history can recall, is in the homes of the wealthy and powerful families.
Only other thing to point out, there is no magic in the Dune universe and there are no aliens. Rather, a mastery of the human mind & body over dizzying amounts of time.
0:47 i don't know why so many people say 'DIE' instead of 'DAY' when pronouncing Zendaya's name 😂
The original 1984 Dune is a great watch also.
For anyone still hungry, there's a 2000 TV miniseries version that fans tend to appreciate. Very respectful of the book, and with its own unique style.
Hes supposed to be 15 in the books

❤❤❤❤
The novel, Dune, is often seen as un-filmable due to the amount of inner dialog for Paul Atreides and all that is going on in the story. There's some parallels to the addiction we have to petroleum (with the Spice as the stand-in) and its importance to the economy of the world, the religious aspects (the Zen-Sunni religion of the book, the desert peoples who become the Mujahedeen in Paul Atreides' violent revolution against the Imperial system, with the parallels to more radical elements of Sunni Islam), just so much stuff. You have the Atreides, drawing their lineage to Greek heroes from the Trojan War.
And then you have the Bene Gesserit, the Messiah/Lisan al-Ghaib/the Mahdi... what is fictional and made-up? Is Paul the Messiah... the Mahdi? Or is he only going to use this story as a means to an end?
It is a fantastic world for storytelling, and I think they did an okay job here. Not perfect, but still a neat spectacle.
Great reaction - the Bene Gesserit have breeding programs for humans, and they've spent centuries breeding towards a new level of superior human, the One, who can bridge space and time, and they've been spreading the legend of him as a messiah - they're very close to their goal, and Jessica was supposed to have a girl as another step, but instead she had a son, who has much of this potential; plus, she taught him the special skills only the Bene Gesserit know; plus, the spice has a special effect on Paul, unlocking more of his abilities
- the story looks at the political role of religions, and it keeps an interesting balance between the idea of this messiah as a fiction, used to manipulate populations, vs the prospect that Paul might really be a genuine messiah
- this is based on a 60s novel by Frank Herbert; he's very interested in human potential - in this civilization, computers are forbidden (because AI had grown too powerful and threatened humanity)
- the major powers include the Lansraad, made up of various different houses like the Atriedes and Harkonnen; the Bene Gesserit, a Sisterhood who manipulate from behind the scenes and work to manage humanity's future direction; the Spacing Guild, who manage interstellar transportation, using the Spice; and the Imperium, dominated by the Emperor
- Herbert himself wrote 6 novels, which fans view as canon; Herbert's son continued his father's series of novels, but those later novels are not as highly regarded - Frank Herbert's first 3 novels were adapted into a sci fi miniseries around 2000; the first book was also adapted in 1984 by David Lynch, in an ambitious movie that flopped, but now has a cult following;
there had been plans from the 1970s to adapt Dune, by the cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, and there's also a documentary about that project, which never materialized, but which nevertheless inspired many other projects, including Alien
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
You need to read the books! :)
✌️❤️❤️!...
It's a book from 1965. Really mind-blowing, even now. Five more books after it, all of them the best kind of crazy, but the first is self-contained. If you get into the books, avoid the franchise stuff by different authors, it's all terrible.
you should watch the 1984 version. In many ways i think it is better
This movie is ok but its really just a lead up to part 2 which is way better
Zendaya really got paid just to look pretty
This edit is a joke.
The original is way better I think.
there re so dumb to asking question every 10 secondes. focus on the movie god damit...
worst reaction ever for this movie
I have a harsh rule for Dune reaction channels. If you edit out the “who will our next oppressors be” followed by the Dune shot…then you think it’s more about you then the movie.
This movie is an insult to the author.
This movie was so fukn boring I couldn't even finish it so I'm here for the reaction to see how it ends lol.
