Hope you enjoy my video on my favourite scene from Dune. The visual spectacle, sound and meaning of this scene is just perfect to me. But what do you guys think of the spice harvester sequence from Dune?
The moment Paul steps out of the thopter into the sand and kneels down to sift his hand through the spice was my single favourite moment out of the whole movie. I truly felt like I was in Paul's shoes for a second, just experiencing this alien world for the first time. And Hans Zimmer's score in the backgound **chef's kiss**
I loved it. I was in awe of the shot where the sandworm causes that first massive wave of sand to fly through the air, and makes the sand ripple like water. It's one of the most amazing depictions of fluid dynamics I've ever seen on film. Aside from the audio and visual spectacle, Oscar Isaac and Sharon Duncan-Brewster's performances in that scene were amazing. Sharon's facial expressions were especially great at establishing Dr. Kynes' internal conflict, discovering in that moment that Leto is actually a good man and that she likes him, but knowing that he's being set up for failure at the emperor's command and she's powerless to stop it. The film isn't a perfect adaptation of the book, but that scene is pretty much as close to perfection as I could have asked for.

And I was disapointed by the lack of suspension of a traitor. The housekeeper warned Jessica in Lynch's Dune and she did start lookimg at everyone in the immediate household. This is missing; there wasn't even a question of WHO could've betrayed them by Paul or Jesdica! The lack of emotions weakens the storyline
@@carolbriscoe9337 the doc knew that she would be killed but she was likely tortured or worse (thinking of the spider like human, might be some kind crazy surgery, treatment) and he wanted it to end
The Lynch version was a good Dave Lynch film. The mini-series did some brilliant things on a shoestring budget; like essentially making it an opera. But this version made me feel like I was watching Herbert's book.
I was surprised that they didn't have any sort of jet packs or wings in their armor or boots that they could activate to take long jumps or something that would help them get out of harms way faster specially with the technology they have achieved, it's hard to believe nobody though of that in their universe, great film though 🤷
I don’t know if it’s only this movie or the books in general but despite a few technologies it seems there aren’t that many futuristic tools as one could imagine.
That was an awesome scene but to me the most memorable is Duke Leto’s death. That whole sequence was haunting from realizing Dr. Yueh betrayal to his last breath.
Would have preferred if the movie told us before hand. And i wish they kept the scene where yueh gives the old OC bible to paul, it reveals more religion and philosophy which i wish they'd shown
The Stilltent holy war vision sequence is one of the most phenomenal works of cinema i have ever seen. Equal parts entrancing and terrifying. The terrible purpose.
My favorite scene by far is the stilltent. Paul's vision is so viscerally unsettling, and being able to experience his vision during his breakdown accompanied by the malevolent musical score made the scene so much more powerful, which is crucial as it's quite possibly the most important moment of foreshadowing in the film. I loved how that single shot of Paul and Chani gazing down over the sea of warriors made Paul look so cold and unemotional in contrast to the boy writhing from panic in the present. I love that I've seen this movie numerous times both in the theater and on TV, and the moment he screams "GET OFF ME" using the voice makes me jump every time regardless of the format. It's just...it's so good.
And the pure venom in his voice towards Jessica! Made me think that was why she was anxious to get Paul off world. The scene when she asks Stilgar about his possible connections to smugglers shows just how much Paul's momentary rejection of her hurt.
Had to disagree on that . Well David Lynch was equally passionate about Dune . The reason why Lynch's version of dune didn't work was because of the limited technology in that time !
Such an ignorant comment, total disregard of the fact Lynch disowns the movie because of how much meddling movie producers/studio did and was contractually obligated to still finish it.
I belive you got the location wrong. The desert shorts were filmed in Abu Dhabi (harvest scene) and the rocky desert shots (end of movie) were filmed in Jordan.
The harvester rescue sequence (in addition to the sequence prior where the helicopters set out to observe the harvester and Dr. Kynes gives them exposition) is without a doubt the best 10 minute of the film for me. I watched the film three times in the theater mainly for that 10 minute. The scale of the desert vs the helicopters, Kynes's exposition, the moment where they see the worm, the anticipation, the tension, the reveal of the worm for the first time for the audience and for Paul, the disorientation due to spice, the devouring of the harvester, Kynes's prayer... Just flawless cinema. I'm 35 yo and seen all the science fiction out there, and I don't remember being so awe-inspired for a long, LONG time. I watched all of Villeneuve's films except for Polytechnique, and I can comfortably say that this whole harvester rescue sequence is by far my favorite Villeneuve moment. The whole film but specifically this sequence reminded me why we are all in love with the art of cinema in the first place.
Completely agree. It's when they're all talking in the thopter, just doing their jobs and you hear the controls and the sounds of the thopter. There's no music playing, it's just pure immersion
My favorite scene is one of the quieter ones. The first meeting with Stilgar is a masterpiece of subtlety. There's so much information packed into that short encounter. Every word and gesture defines the attitude and personality of each character. And the whole story is practically summarized in that brief conversation. To top it off is Javier Bardem's brilliant performance as Stilgar. As he stands before Leto, watch his eyes cut over to Paul. He's addressing the Duke, but his mind is on Paul the whole time.
For me that would’ve been a pretty good scene - had Jason Momoa not ruined it with his terrible acting 🙄 That whole line about exchanging water was delivered so poorly, I can’t believe they went with that take. I’m just glad he didn’t fuck up every other scene he was in
This is my favorite scene in the film. It's just incredible, and it seems to get better with every viewing. As a musician and arranger I especially appreciate the sound and music in this film. One thing I think really sells the scene is when Gurney and Paul stay on the landing ramp while the 'thopter rises and circles the worm. They could get in, but they're transfixed. I also love how it looks like the scene is over when they get back, but then we get right back into it with his vision about the knife. Fantastic. In the book and in '84, we hear Kynes think, "I like this duke." This isn't directly conveyed in this film, but it seems in this version she had that thought anyway, as evidenced by her willingness to ignore an Imperial order and report the events to the Lansraad.
I hate nitpicking and nitpickers, but two things didn't work for me on this scene. Stupid little things, but annoying if you want to consider this scene "perfect". First of all, the moon over Arrakis is supposed to be "wreaking havoc" on their comms, and yet all the comunications within the thopter, the harvester, the carry-all, and the spotters are cristal clear. No distortion, no noise, no static. Makes no sense. And second one, when the workers get on the thopters, they are all natives from Arrakis (kind of "middle eastern" looking, blue eyes...) and yet when they talk on the comms the voices have all perfect british accent... They should have had a strong accent like Jamis, the guy watering the palm trees or Stilgar. Again, small details, but felt strange in an otherwise so well thought and executed movie, considering Villeneuve is a perfectionist in other details (one example: when Paul is talking with Duncan about his vision of him dying, there are 19 dead Sardaukar lying on the ground, like in the book, etc).
I love particularly the shot where Paul was in a trance so deep, yet muttered 'I recognize your foot step old man' and then a jump cut of Gurney slapping his shoulder, shifting the tone of music immediately. Superb editing.
An unbelievably powerful, tense, dramatic and awe-inspiring scene. A master class in science fiction filmmaking, and a fitting homage to Frank Herbert's vision. We experience the sand, the spice and the worm for the first time, alongside Paul himself. The final shots with Paul and Gurney hanging onto the ramp as the great worm engulfs the harvester -- unforgettable.
My biggest critic of the movie (apart from some critical details that would have required a bit more explaining), is paradoxically the absolute perfection in every scene. It is a very dense, clockwork, almost claustrophobic movie. Not a single word is chitchat, not a single item is useless. Everything is a symbol or a plot device. Villeneuve has completely evacuated the mundane, and has embraced what we can call "imperial movie making". I would have liked to see a little more of everyday life. Does anyone has a hobby? What do they eat? What are ordinary people doing on Caladan? Is there a grand bazaar in the settlement on Arrakis? Why do streets, towns, entire planets feel empty?
Woulda been cool to see Gurney play his instrument. This was my first experience of Dune so i cant say i missed it, but according to people its pretty popular and probably woulda given more of the effect u described
You say it's perfect and doesn't waste the viewers time and here you are complaining about it. Here is a movie set in the highest echelons of a galactic empire, with a protagonist on the brink of becoming a prophesied messiah and you want to see ... hobbies? It's obvious you don't know anything about focus in film-making or condensing a huge work, so please refrain from making further commentary that wastes our time.
They already split the book into two parts and it's still a long movie. Anything superfluous to the story would have probably ruined the pacing. I do agree it would have been nice to allow some time to let the scenes breath and soak everything in, but that would only really work in a miniseries. The set design, props and costumes already do an excellent job of establishing all the different cultures. I think there's enough world-building there for the audience to be able to fill in the rest of it with their imagination. And if a film leaves you wanting more, it's clearly done something right.
@@Seth_M-T Well I've enjoyed the movie for sure. It is magnificent. I've followed Villeneuve since his first movie. Since I live in Quebec it was easy to watch his movies on the big screen. Villeneuve has always been a little cold and distant in his filmmaking, trying to find the perfect angle, movement, colors, mood. The big exception is of course Polytechnique.
This scene is pretty much the only scene I can think back and think "damn that was good". Too bad the rest of the movie is... okey, and could need a directors cut imo.
I’m so glad none of those psychotic sjw writers got anywhere near this, you can tell this was made with a lot of love and respect towards the source material, and not a bastardized version of the story and characters. I just hope they don’t weed their way into part 2 - I know they’re pissed that a white male character was the lead in a blockbuster movie, nothing matters to them except their dumb, stupid ideology.
He has full control of the narratives , the pace and the the flow of this saga. I couldn't believe a sigler director would come out of the gates this strong. And here we are.. May he lay his vision unimpeded, as long as it will go. I" m excited.
yesss great video. this wast fav scene in the book and the moment where the story really hooked me. it’s a really descriptive, cinematic scene, and the 2021 film captures it amazingly. incredible scene
As a fan of the book since the 70s, I'd agree... if only the Gom Jabbar wasn't better. Charlotte Rampling just edges it, with help from the sound effects and Chalamet's face.
The gom jabbar scene blew the books versioun out of the water. I am talking the exact scene whete paul gets testes. In the book I always felt it was a little too short/not thorough enough. The movie outdid the book here, as well as in the first Worm scene this video talks about.
Instantly classic scene. One observation: The sand-worm that swallows the harvester appears double or triple the size of the one that goes face to face with Paul later. Is this just cinematic licence or are the worms meant to vary greatly in size?
If I remember correctly, the worms of the deep desert can get absolutely massive, and I think their size is directly correlated to age. The older they are, the larger they are.
Yeah. I can hardly think a moment in this new Dune movie that is actually “better”… only that is a lot more a “normal” film because Lynch’s version can be seen as being very weird at many places, but that can be seen as part of its charm too.
The impression of the worm is no better than the 84 version. The scale in the David Lynch film is just as pronounced. 2020 film is brilliantly done but so was the 84 version. If the 84 David Lynch film had been split in 2...........
Yep. I was disappointed by this Dune movie so I revisited the old film and it is so much better IMO even if it feels old. Clearly it has not good VFXs (that was probably even said in its time), but accepting that and the unusual “thought narration” and we have a better Dune film IMO.
Fascinating scene, very thought-provoking review. But have you got a breakdown of the docking scene in Interstellar? Would love to hear your take on it!
I always loved Hans Zimmer. A movie without his music isnt a movie. That said, my favorite scene (much as I love the Harvester scene) is the one between Leto and Paul on Caladan about leadership and being called to greatness as well as choices. It was a great bit of foreshadowing for the rest of the movies in the series, presuming it goes that far to "God Emperor of Dune."
two problems with the scene: - when they’re surveying the site, Leto says “is that a _worm?”_ rather than “is _that_ a worm?” as they were already talking about worms, the emphasis shouldn’t have been on “worm.” - when they land, Leto then says “put seven men each in my ships, now.” while not explicitly incorrect, it is an odd phrasing… why not say “put seven men in each of my ships, now”?
I don’t agree with your first point, the way he asks sounds quite natural to me. Also Leto does say in the film, “Put seven men each in my ships now.” Official subtitles also confirm.
Blatantly incorrect. Emphasis on "Worm" conveys disbelief, shock at the idea of a worm showing up at that moment and the realization of what they're up against, in contrast with the tiny creatures we call worms in everyday life. Emphasis on "That" would betray a near certainty, questioning the obvious, and would make the question borderline rhetorical. You can be a certrain director would make the above decision in a heatbeat.
@@Fyre0 - if anything, the phrasing and emphasis in the movie expresses concern, rather than shock. in the conversation they were having, “that” (being the wormsign) was the novel concept, and not “worm.” something like _”THAT_ is a worm?” would also make more sense, expressing shock, but maybe sounding a little dumb. the conversation in the thopter about worms and spice harvesting just seemed too brief. it may seem like petty nitpicks, but I just happen to notice strange dialogue in movies often. everything else about the movie was so meticulously curated, so little things like this stick out even more.
Gurney wasn't wearing a mask either but he doesn't have to deal with the visions, so..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Gurney wasn't wearing a mask and the spice didn't affect him. It happened to Paul only because he's a product of the Bene Gesserit breeding program which enables him to see visions and the spice opened up those visions in him. I don't think you understood the movie
@@DG-gx4sg I def see that all this scene is essentially built on the fact that Paul didn't wear his mask, even tho we're told before this sequence that Arrakis' atmosphere is dangerous and you have to wear a mask and stillsuits . Makes little sense
Fan boys determined to turn this into the infatuation they had with star wars,, suppose we all need to something to believe in,,,, even if its a delusion

The entire film is perfect, it literally doesn't get any better than this.
It could have been a lot better though. Specially for those who don’t particularly cared about Dune entering to watch the film.

I don’t know if it’s only this movie or the books in general but despite a few technologies it seems there aren’t that many futuristic tools as one could imagine.
Sicario, also by Denis, had a perfect scene near the beginning as well: The border crossing scene.
I agree.
My favorite scene from Sicario is when Alejandro kills the Drug dealer's family! So shocking and powerful! 👍🏼
That was absolutely intense.
Sprinkles of spice, and then his sense of awareness (already high because his bene gesserit training) is turned up to another level, amazing scene.
That was an awesome scene but to me the most memorable is Duke Leto’s death. That whole sequence was haunting from realizing Dr. Yueh betrayal to his last breath.

Hans Zimmer literally cannot miss this was insane
A film, at its purest, is a story told primarily with images.
One of my favourite scenes is the arrival of the herald of the change. Very great introduction to the universe of Dune.
Here's the difference between Villeneuve and Lynch. One does it as simply a job and the other did it because it was his life passion.
Had to disagree on that . Well David Lynch was equally passionate about Dune . The reason why Lynch's version of dune didn't work was because of the limited technology in that time !
@@SinghKushalOmprakash not to mention studio meddling

@@SinghKushalOmprakash I disagree, sure he wanted to tell a good story that didn't turn out well, but Denis passion for dune shows much more.

The disembarkation of House Atreides on Arrakis is the most perfect sequence in this film.
Every frame is perfect.
This is a great scene, but my favorite scene is the ship captivity scene. The color and swelling emotion is perfect.
There is no scene in this movie that doesn't have layers. Watch it again and again and you will see.
My favourite scene from Dune is Arrival at Arakis !!

If I remember correctly, the worms of the deep desert can get absolutely massive, and I think their size is directly correlated to age. The older they are, the larger they are.
TY, well done.
Awesome video!
This scene is Epic
I liked Lynchs version better.
Yeah. I can hardly think a moment in this new Dune movie that is actually “better”… only that is a lot more a “normal” film because Lynch’s version can be seen as being very weird at many places, but that can be seen as part of its charm too.
The impression of the worm is no better than the 84 version. The scale in the David Lynch film is just as pronounced. 2020 film is brilliantly done but so was the 84 version. If the 84 David Lynch film had been split in 2...........
Yep. I was disappointed by this Dune movie so I revisited the old film and it is so much better IMO even if it feels old. Clearly it has not good VFXs (that was probably even said in its time), but accepting that and the unusual “thought narration” and we have a better Dune film IMO.
Fascinating scene, very thought-provoking review. But have you got a breakdown of the docking scene in Interstellar? Would love to hear your take on it!
I always loved Hans Zimmer. A movie without his music isnt a movie. That said, my favorite scene (much as I love the Harvester scene) is the one between Leto and Paul on Caladan about leadership and being called to greatness as well as choices. It was a great bit of foreshadowing for the rest of the movies in the series, presuming it goes that far to "God Emperor of Dune."
two problems with the scene:
- when they’re surveying the site, Leto says “is that a _worm?”_ rather than “is _that_ a worm?” as they were already talking about worms, the emphasis shouldn’t have been on “worm.”
- when they land, Leto then says “put seven men each in my ships, now.” while not explicitly incorrect, it is an odd phrasing… why not say “put seven men in each of my ships, now”?
I don’t agree with your first point, the way he asks sounds quite natural to me. Also Leto does say in the film, “Put seven men each in my ships now.” Official subtitles also confirm.
Good lord I've never seen such nitpick before .
You sir win for today , bravo
Blatantly incorrect. Emphasis on "Worm" conveys disbelief, shock at the idea of a worm showing up at that moment and the realization of what they're up against, in contrast with the tiny creatures we call worms in everyday life. Emphasis on "That" would betray a near certainty, questioning the obvious, and would make the question borderline rhetorical. You can be a certrain director would make the above decision in a heatbeat.
@@Fyre0 - if anything, the phrasing and emphasis in the movie expresses concern, rather than shock. in the conversation they were having, “that” (being the wormsign) was the novel concept, and not “worm.” something like _”THAT_ is a worm?” would also make more sense, expressing shock, but maybe sounding a little dumb.
the conversation in the thopter about worms and spice harvesting just seemed too brief. it may seem like petty nitpicks, but I just happen to notice strange dialogue in movies often. everything else about the movie was so meticulously curated, so little things like this stick out even more.
Why are you acting like an English teacher to a COMPLETED movie, which you're not involved with in any way?
I think it's also pretty forced tho , because essentially all this happens because Paul didn't wear his mask .
A little dumb if you ask me 🥴
Gurney wasn't wearing a mask either but he doesn't have to deal with the visions, so..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Gurney wasn't wearing a mask and the spice didn't affect him. It happened to Paul only because he's a product of the Bene Gesserit breeding program which enables him to see visions and the spice opened up those visions in him. I don't think you understood the movie
@@DG-gx4sg Agreed
@@DG-gx4sg I def see that all this scene is essentially built on the fact that Paul didn't wear his mask, even tho we're told before this sequence that Arrakis' atmosphere is dangerous and you have to wear a mask and stillsuits . Makes little sense
@@Fyre0 then what's the point of the mask again ?
Fan boys determined to turn this into the infatuation they had with star wars,, suppose we all need to something to believe in,,,, even if its a delusion
