listening to Villeneuve's responses it's easy to see why the Film is, artistically, such a resounding success. Aswell as his deep rooted understanding and communication of the complex themes, he also understands the need to avoid crushing the audience with exposition and found ways to build a world which, while both achingly beautiful and entertaining, is also historically deep and rich should you begin scratching away at the surface.
Looks like you were pronouncing it as though he was of Spanish heritage, can't blame you for that! I, too, had a hard time getting a hang of the French pronunciation as I've only ever learned English and Spanish.
As a fan of the OG movie I watched this one at home and enjoyed. Went and seen it in 3D on the last day it was available in the theater and loved it. 3D blu ray in the US please.
Nous les français nous avons un avantage, c'est que l'accent Français de Timothée que nous entendons is priceless and sooooo sexy . French people have an avantage because we heard the french accent of timothée, and god, I swear to you, this the hotter thing i have ever heard as a french woman.🙃 He speaks very well maybe a lof of pratice on the vocabulary and it will perfect. He makes no fault on the conjuguaison of the verbe wich is very incredibible, because this is the most diffucult part in french, it's the proof he grows up in France and used to speak. I love him for a multude of reasons, this guy is so magnetic and talented .
Love to Oscar Isaac being nervous.. he's cute...& Why are people leaving so early ? That's rude.. all the actors are still there.. shouldn't they clap first & wait for the actors to leave..
@@beccymay701 Yes, apparently he gives himself 97% for his French speaking ability (not 100% because he occasionally has trouble remembering if a noun is masculine or feminine, which I have trouble with when speaking French as well, so I can relate).
I will say that English is a common language and more people understand it. Personally I did not like they changed to French, because they restricted access to part of the interview to a wider audience, not fair in my opinion.
@@gabrielesabbatino2460 They had headphones on stage for the translator. And there are subtitles on this clip, but oddly only for the English language (they're absent when he speaks French), that's where the mistake woul lie! Subtitles should be available in all languages (at least for the "major" ones). Having subtitles in English only, and only when they speak in English, is quite s****d. With todays technology, it should be possible, even more than a couple of decades ago when most journalists at any international press conference had access to translators (and headphones). IMHO, it was more respectful of people in recognizing that not every one is of a same singular culture, more respectful of the diversity of our World.
@@weasley2o13 I don't agree with your judgemental perception. Read my other post on this thread to know why, which is another judgement replying to yours
This is a literal translation, so it should sound something like this: "The language, for starters, having fun on set, but frankly, to have a communication channel that is particular to us, it... it was comforting, but... but then I have to say... how to put it... the level of seriousness (sic) with Denis' approach with the material that, often in sci fi movies or adaptations, we try to add so much elements and so much "interesting things", so I was under the impression that Denis wanted the opposite. That the environment was "true" and that the characters and their behavior (sic) were also true. And concerning the Gom Jabbar, it was prescribed to me as an actor to put my hand in a box where, you're being told "that's the most pain you've ever had in your life", so it was both to play the realistic aspect, but it was also to put myself in Denis' hands and to trust him with where he wanted me to go and to dedicate myself 100% without question and all of that trust is easy to build with Denis."
A bit of a constructive criticism, and not the Dune cast, but to the audience: 1) Some cast members speak English only. We can debate as to how much they should put more effort into learning foreign languages, but until they do, it's disgustingly rude to switch to French (or any other language) suddenly. Especially since after the introduction, the moderator switched to English herself. 2) The way everybody started walking away even before the conference was ended is even worse than my first point. The cast, the socially more important attendants of the conference, were still sitting there, while those the cast made to meet were still sitting there, not even getting a proper applause at least for being there. I mean seriously, what the hell was that? That was the lowliest of low behavior the audience could display. Total and utter disrespect shown to the cast. I'm ashamed of what I saw, and the cast is not to blame.
A quick note one your first point: Native English speakers tend to assume sometimes that their language is the language of the whole world. The cast is in Italy, at an Italian film festival which is a huge primarily European event. And in the European Union, many languages are spoken on the daily. The same argument you made could be reversed: Why should Denis and Javier, whose mothertongue is not English, always conform and speak English? :) The journalists who asked them questions may also not be fluent English speakers and feel more comfortable asking in Spanish and French. I didn't perceive this as rudeness, it is a normal situation in a multilingual setting. I live in Germany where many nations coexist, and even among my friends or with colleagues at work we switch back and forth and include some words from our mothertongues into our conversation which is primarily held in German or English, and vice versa.
@@lizett3465 I don't really disagree with you, I just strongly believe that at such international conferences where there are multilingual participants, a language common to all should be chosen and unanimously used, regardless of which language that is. I don't see using language other than English as rude, what I perceive as rude is the rest of the cast not understanding (or at the very least forced to use a translator). Very suddenly at that, a quick note in broken English to the rest of the cast could be learned and said as a starter of the question. But as I said, this was not as big of an issue as the disrespect shown by simply standing up and leaving without any consideration for the cast. That just sucked. Oh, and greetings to Germany from a Czech neighbor. :) Obviously not a native speaker myself and I definitely easily agree that some natives do indeed think English is the universal language. The French, Spanish, Russians, Chinese and likely many others would agree with us also.
Firstly, your variation of etiquette is not the same in other countries. You cannot enforce your beliefs on other people. These are Italians in Italy. What they deem respectful and disrespectful comes first. Secondly, I don’t think the cast are as close minded as you are, someone speaking another language isn’t gonna trigger them the way it triggered you for some fucking reason. This is an Italian event. They was being polite just by speaking English, in other versions of this video there’s an Italian dub over it. The cast are a diverse group of people who speak multiple languages. Honestly other than Zendaya and I think Josh Brolin, they’re all multilingual people. And I doubt Daya and Josh give a flying fuck mate.
@@saitamatrash2527 Not the way the world works, pal. I've been to international conferences on multiple continents, even had my own presentations on them, and it doesn't matter if you are there with an American, Chinese, Italian, French, English, Czech or Australian citizens, they all follow the same basic rules. Italians may not consider their behavior rude, but so don't gypsies. Doesn't make it polite for the rest of the world. Some rules are universal (such as the word "fuck" being impolite everywhere in the world), and here they were rudely and blatantly disregarded. If you don't mind it, that's fine, of course. If the cast doesn't mind, all the better. But it was rude nonetheless. The only difference is that today's people seem to think that rudeness is OK, or worse, often don't even realize how rude they're being, which appears to be your own case. But that's OK, not everyone has manners.
@@becausebuzzbomb6133 but at conferences in Europe, this is normal! This is a press conference, for the press to ask questions. If a French journalist writes in French, it makes sense, if asking a French native speaker, to also ask the question in French because that way the answer is not translated and thus more accurate. There‘s probably even translators in the back, which is usually the case at conferences in Europe
French French French French seriousness French French French behaviour French French That's the most pain you've ever had in your life French not question it French
From when I hear them other than director how many of them have actually read the books coz there answers are bit …… if Ferguson had read the books she know that she Not a very good mother since she abandoned her daughter Alia . ( I got from her answer she has not read them ).
Japanese womans question was mega cringe- asks the male director what the political context of the story is, asks the female actress how important her haircut was to the role
Ok seriously I'm pretty sure none of the actors actually read the books and that Denis forgot the book entirely. In Dune, the dream of the fremen was to completely change the climate of the planet so it will no longer be just a desert planet. So if anything, the message in the book is "change the climate as drastically as possible, don't preserve the environment"
Do you realize how hard it is to squeeze a 1200 or so pages of plot development in under three hours of footage? We've only seen Part I so far. I'm sure this aspect will be explored in the sequels.
if you read the entire series you would know that full change of the climate on Arakis would backfire and destroy the interplanetary civilization because sandworms and spice would be gone. So yeah - climate change is bad in the context of the book
@@notsoon6721 oh honey please. Ive read the books. Yeah worms can't survive with water but the fremen don't care. Also they can preserve a portion of the desert and continue the spice production just like the god emperor did. Still certain that they didn't read any of the books.

These interviews are quite intense. Highlighting each characters view points. I plan on seeing the movie Nov 2021 .
When Timothée started speaking in French yeah that was hot.
I was surprised by it.
@@blueman1904 his father is French, not surprised his household is fully bi-lingual.
Will bet he is as sick as many women feel about being constantly being cat called about their looks. Look mom. I have a brain too!
I came
My favorite movie of timmy is Dune, CMBYN and Beautiful boy. He is amazing always
Yeah but cmbyn will always have my heart❤
What a great cast - love it, love Dune - please make 10+ more movies exploring the Dune-universe, thanksies.
Denis said he wants to do a Part III and then a mini-series afterwards.
When T.C. speaks, it gets in my soul. Yes he’s hot, but it’s his light that has me mesmerized.
Grow up and stop defining humans as hot”! Pretty dure someone as smart as TC is sick of it.
Until Dune I honest to god thought his name was pronounced Dennis Villa-nueve. I will no longer disrespect a master.
Looks like you were pronouncing it as though he was of Spanish heritage, can't blame you for that! I, too, had a hard time getting a hang of the French pronunciation as I've only ever learned English and Spanish.
There were/are 2 legendary drivers from Canada with the same name and I was always familiar with pronunciation from racing journalists
I thought his name was pronounced like 'Michael Jordan'

OSCAR ISAAC IS THE BEST!
Hi
Unfortunately it doesn't look like he is going to be in 2 or 3. But he did a great job
LOVE HIM SM
This panel needed Stellan Skarsgård.
I knew somebody significant was missing from this interview!
Definitely would have loved to hear from him.
Brolin answer got me laughing in tears ;DD
Brolin’s self-deprecation then says the most interesting things
Tsé at the end of the day 🤣🙏🏻🌹
3:55 Yeah, it's alive! (Lmao) Cuz it's actually a magic hair! Like Rupanzel. Timothée's officially our male Rupanzel now.
its over for the timmy stans when he speaks in french

Dune 🔥💝 piece art
Zendaya, didn’t really say that much, she was repeating what she wanted to say 2/3 times. Her last sentence was the essence of what she wanted to say.
this kind of mix panel is always a hard watch lol
omg rebbeca...
Great cast! Not so good questions though, majority of them could be answered by "read the damn book!". Educate yourselves, dear journalists.
Lmao some people got up so fast at the end
Either someone farted at that point or the bar opened - those are the only non-emergency times a whole room will move that fast.
They would need to be somewhere else...a very busy festival!
Can anybody translate Timothee's comments in French into English?
