He makes his movie flow like no other, I think it really helps that he doesn't overuse exposition and forced dialogue and just gives room to the scene and trusts the audience to pick up certain things.
@@emilpettersson4509 Hard to get everything from books into movies. LOTR was the same thing. I see it as two different versions of the actual story that lived in the authors mind.
Denis Villeneuve is that one director that aspiring and upcoming filmmakers should learn from. Especially if they want to make their films epic and massive. ❤️
Sand screens with a special hue that when inverted separates them from the background. That is really freaking cool! What an interesting innovation that's been right under our noses since basically the beginning
For me, this movie is a complete landmark in the latest sci-fi efforts of cinema's history. I do have a couple of problems with some screenplay/storytelling decisions, but I've watched both films twice and love them dearly!
Its pretty hard to fault such an earnest attempt, but i do think they could have done more with character development and still have kept the full cast.. cant imagine how much they paid to talent alone.. when i make my film, im going to have a completely unknown cast, and make new movie stars out of those who only needed their chance to shine..
He definitely dumbed down the storytelling a bit compared to his earlier works and used common American tropes so it could appeal to a broader audience. But it was still a tremendous achievement.
@@ssssssstssssssss I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with Mr. Villeneuve's earlier work in order to properly comment about the evolution of his storytelling approach, since I've only seen "Blade Runner: 2049" before "Dune" and my experience with that film in particular was almost analogous: a stunning visual achievement with some narrative choices I find difficult to engage with. In any case, I'm not sure if anything was purposefully "dumb down" in order to appeal to a broader audience, I just believe some characters' inner motivations and relationship dynamics with other characters were a bit underdeveloped, given the apparent complexity and richness of the original source material (which I've never read, only heard good things about!).
Studio binder is a gem. I am exposed to several forms of knowledge. Studio binder is hands down the most impactful of them all. Thank your for doing what you are doing.
Dune part 1-2 make Marvel/Disney movies look like films made by Kids. Denis has set new standards after Part-2. IT's been ages since we have seen big set movies like "Pirates 1, 2 & 3" I just can't wait for Next Part.
Neither Dune or Dune 2 had over the top massive movie sets, nor did they create a massive amount of practical sets. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Eternals had massive practical movie sets with entire towns built for the movie. However Denis Villeneuve simply knows how and when to use CGI. He seems to have a perfect understanding on what needs to be practical, and how to use CGI to enhance the shot so that you can't even tell that it's CGI. Invisible CGI is the best type of CGI. Disney could really take a lesson from Denis Villeneuve on how to blend practical effects with CGI better.
Thank you StufioBinder for another master class video on showing how a master filmmaker like Denis made such an amazing movie! Your editing and storytelling elevates the storytelling of Dune Part 2! 🔥
Two things I found impressive are the scenes featuring the Emperor and Revenant Mother: in both films the use of beautiful Bokeh; the second of course is the use of infra-red monochrome with both hard and soft light. I assume the IR filter was 720 or 750nm.
Damn. I've watched a LOT of BTS, interviews, analysis of this great movie, but StudioBinder tops it all. Very detailed and interesting notions highlighted, in a great presentation and very nice footage. I'm subscribing
If it's possible, I would be interested in watching another video on Dune: Part Two's screenplay. I'm very curious to see how much description is involved with some of the action scenes.
The Dune films are repeatedly watchable, something I’ve not done with a film since a teenager. My viewings of Dune part one are well over 10 now, and Dune part 2, twice at the cinema, and 3 times at home. They’re a visual feast!
@@StudioBinder And Rebecca Ferguson's. Ha ha, I can't not call Austin Butler "Austin Butlerian jihad". And Skarsgard had one emotion in one eye and another in the other, I love when actors pull that, like when Paul stabbed him... Surprise/wonder/fear/recognition/grandfatherly love/amusement/reconciling himself and more, just in a few seconds. But Austin man, fascinating performance
You guys never disappoint this video of how Dune Part 2 was made is great I loved it can you make about how The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy was made Thanks Studiobinder
Awesome, insightful video! Also, i'd love to see you guys make a directors style breakdown on Ari Aster! I know he's only made 3 features to date, but I feel there's just so much to unpack regarding what he's carried over through the films.
1:43 I know it's beside the point, but it's really cool to see a SmallRig monitor mount being used on a Hollywood film. There are so many companies that charge _insane_ amounts simply because rental companies will buy them. It's nice to see studios using equipment that can be bought by mortals, y'know?
I always wondered how did they key the sand colored backdrops? That color is so close to the uniforms, the environment, and human skin… Inverting the colors to make the key is BRILLIANT
Hated the film, but absolutely loved this video. Keep up the great work @StudioBinder. Thought I’d have to suffer through this one, but you surprised me!
Hey studio binder i appreciate your videos very much, I must say there's no such thing arri alexa LF IMAX or mini lf imax and the second camera they used was an ARRI alexa 65 which is not the same as arri lf Another mistake - they didn't use alexa monochrome, they modified the camera's to get a similar effect like you mentioned.
Not only a filmmaking masterpiece but when it comes to the screenwriting of the movie, is an adaptation of the book that while many things change as the movie goes on, it doesn't betray the original. Personally, he said that he appreciates more picture than dialogue but there are times where to me, he doesn't balance it the way he should. 😊
@alexor081 You’ve never understood or read the books then. The movie absolutely shirks the books, and not just because of adaptation to film media. Visually, yes. Story, no. It’s essentially a cherry picked reinterpretation.
Where'd you get the info about Dune II training AI to streamline the eye tinting process? I'm trying to find a proper source that isn't some blog post with non existent official film production notes as its source.
Can someone explain me why it matters that the sandscreens are blue in negative? Can’t you key out any colour? And isn’t it more difficult with a similar colour to the subjects and environment? I understand the light wraps & bounces are more natural this way but that seems like the only advantage.
Here's a great interview with the VFX Supervisor discussing the first film: beforesandafters.com/2021/11/06/the-dune-visual-effects-team-used-sandscreens-instead-of-bluescreens/

I am anticipating!
Reduced to the max. Most of todays blockbusters are like: "Look what we can do! Look what else we can do! Look how we flood you with everything we can do!" It is like someone mastering brilliant fast fingerpicling on a guitar which leaves the audience impressed but wears off after a certain time. Dune is like... let's say an aged Mark Knopfler. He plays maybe a tenth of the number of notes he used to play. But every single note rings, has character, tells its own story and simply cannot be imitated by anyone else.
First of all thank you so much for making this video :) It was quite a learning for me :) I was wondering what software's were employed to match the CGI elements to the portions shot with ARRI Alexa LF Monochrome Camera with Infra Red Filters. What kinda shaders & light were employed in 3D softwares inorder to create the infra red look...?!! . Awesome video :)
The architecture on Arakeen makes sense. The massive concrete structures, and few windows, insures that the interior would be cool. However, concrete takes a lot oof water to make. So, how is this contradiction addressed?
Now I have a question. I always thought that wide-screen was only capable with Anamorphic but now I see both Anamorphic and Spherical and there's no much of a difference (in size obviously). I mean, I get the idea in film (16mm, 35mm, 50mm) but I'm kind a messing my mind right now 😅 How the hell do you manage to shoot wide on digital, like for cinema. And I don't mean 16:9, I mean the truly wide-screen in a theater. I hope someone get it, because I think I don't even really know hot to ask what I mean hahaha...
Great questions! The combo of cameras, lenses, and sensors can do so much these days. But you're right, both anamorphic and spherical can do widescreen!
@@StudioBinder Thank you so much for your answer!!! I really appreciate that. But I mean, any suggestions on how to shot 1,85:1 or 2,39:1? What do I look for in the camera? Or how can I be sure I can use a camera to shot on that aspect ratio? I mean, is it even a thing on on high standard DSLRs these days? I really don't know.
The vast majority of people are still not fully aware of the threat AI poses to traditional filmmaking and the intrinsic value of the craft and dedication required to achieve results like these. This video exists BECAUSE people want to know how others were capable of achieving results like these! If AI keeps evolving like it has in the last 2 years, in less than 5 years all blockbusters like Dune will be artificially generated. There will be no teams shooting in exotic locations, no teams building massive sets, no teams managing hundreds of extras - all this will be much cheaper, easier and faster being synthetically generated in a computer than it will be to go out into the real world and shoot it. The collaborative effort to shoot at the mercy of what life throws at us is at the very core of what makes cinema, cinema. The fact that stuff like Dune requires decades of collective experience to be pulled off is what astonishes, inspires and captivates us. When virtually anyone in the world is able to output photorealistic worlds like this while they’re sitting on their toilet, it will completely dilute its value. Legislation must be passed in order to make every single AI generated pixel uncopyrightable.
I understand personal taste and all, but I would be very cautious to call this "a masterpiece". First of all, let's see how well it stands the test of time.
We definitely appreciate those elements but we had to keep the video to a reasonable length. Haha! But we did cover sound in Part One: ua-cam.com/video/-KHcbp8szrY/v-deo.htmlsi=nzJ839Dy412plPxI
How come whenever we see "behind the scenes" there's VERY little actual behind the scenes, and crew/director just talking about they did, in an organised interview? I know that actual behind the scenes would be more boring perhaps, but that's what I want to see, not clips from the movie and interviews.
I wish StudioBinder would put more effort into making a decent and reliable film production product that isn't filled with bugs - instead of spending money on all these video content "lessons"
It might be controversial, but I don't like Dune cinematography and direction. I find them to be so pretentious and artificlal. All style and little substance. Always prefering to look cool than to be effective. Good film, but not crazy.
@hypatia137 I understand, but it's not that I prefer dialogue over images or that I don't think style can't overlap with substance. The problem is that Villeneuve's films are so enamoured of themselves, instead of focusing on what matters, they are begging, almost blinking, for the audience to say "Look, how cool". Instead of capturing the scene and the story, the feels in the best way possible, the invert the process and create the scene to adapt to how they want it to look and feel. It never feels they had to shoot a piece of the story and they composed it like they did; it feels they compose the image and then create the scene around it. And this completely leaves the story in a second layer. Let me explain it in another way: instead of creating something within the film, the story, that produces a certain feeling in the viewer, they are directly trying to create the feeling. You hear the music screaming and I am like "Am I supposed to feel anything?". Because the music is telling me to feel a way I don't find no reason to feel like. I have not found anything in the story that can cause that feeling. And I don't think Villeneuve paints it deeply so that viewers have to find it and delve into it. No, directly it's just not there. I mentioned before that Villeneuve leaves the story behind and I think that's a huge problem of his. He's mentioned many times that he doesn't like dialogue, that images are much better (not that he prefers them, but that they are better), that “Frankly, I Hate Dialogue. Dialogue Is For Theatre And Television". That is horrendous in my opinion. Sound and dialogue are as vital to a film as images. They could exist one without the other and work but together they usually work better. Stories could be told only with images, but if Villeneuve doesn't excel at all at that, in my opinion, I find it a bit too ridiculous. If he's not good with it, just admit it. If he doesn't care about story, then say it. He lives in his own world in which stylish images mean it all and he can convince audiences of that, and he actually can because people fall for that. A world in which blinking the audience every time is better than focusing on story. People can disagree with me, but that's how I feel about him. I enjoy his films, they are good and they have some story but he's to me just that pretentious.
All of these only looked at the visual components of the film. While Dune is visually stunning, the acting and screenplay are where Dune 2 fails. The dialogue is trite. Villeneuve weirdly tries to subtly break the fourth wall multiple times. The story itself feels choppy, with an indecisive rhythm. In terms of the acting, nobody feels like they belong in the movie. Not once was I convinced that the character I watched wasn’t some actor. Even Timothee Chalamet just either shouted or muttered. True range isn’t just stretching the extremities of a performance, but capturing the entire spectrum in between those extremes too, something Chalamet doesn’t accomplish. I did like Dune 2. but it’s only masterful in a visual perspective. It’s not a masterpiece in general, and doesn’t live up to other fantasy classics like The Fellowship of the Ring or The Empire Strikes Back.
Utter nonsense. He brought those books to life with exceptional world building, cinematography and storytelling. The second film is the antithesis of ‘boring’, so it’s clear you just desperately want some attention.
@@paul1720 Psychology on a dime, what attention? A bad movie, especially the second part, and it doesn't even come close to the world in the book and the characters!
Unpopular opinion: Dune 2 really dropped the ball. The way they tell portray the relationship of Paul and Chani is laughable and unnecessarily changed from the book, they have completely given up of portraying Arrakis as a dangerously hot and hostile place, and Timonthée Chalamet is not believable as a leader.
Based on that first clip I doubt I'll watch the sequel. Not into films about outsiders of an elite class coming into the lives of a rebellion class to uplift and save them. I absolutely hated the scene in the first one where the boy was able to overtake Jamis in the duel. I thought the boy should have lost but later have been mentored by Jamis. I did like Duncan's character. He goes ahead to Arrakis as a spy but returns convinced the Arrakian people are not savages. If the Arrakian custom is to fight to the death to show leadership, how were the two leaders so easily overtaken by a woman and a boy? No!!! I think it should have been a character like in the chronicles of Riddick, a real fighter for Arrakis, but would save the boy and the mother to reveal later the boy is truly special, like Neo. But just like in presidential elections in the US, there are groups of lower class people who would follow and support members of the elite as long as they pretend that they are among the people.
From a purely racial and purely geopolitical perspective, I agree that the white saviour narrative and trope is very annoying. But story-wise it works if you consider the whole universe. In the Dune universe humans have kept a purely Monarchical and Aristocratic (Great Houses of the Landsraad) type of governance. So Paul as a member and heir to a great house will be highly trained psychologically, psychologically and intellectually. Besting Jamis an untrained and undisciplined fighter makes sense.
@@jewulo I didn't really look at it as racial, since it looks like both societies are mixed racially. It was more about Pauls dreams or visions. I thought he would enter Arrakis as a student first, led by a strong Arrakian soldier, like Luke Skywalker and Yoda. But I didn't really view Paul as white and Jamis as black. I saw Paul as a kid and Jamis as an adult. Paul's vision in the beginning revealed Jamis talking to him, like the mentor trope. This was done in Monkey Man. The lead was trained before he became their hope to defeat a greedy elite class. But to make Paul kill Jamis did not offer me a "save the cat" moment. Instead of Skywalker, Paul is more like a young Darth Vader
Video titles and hyperbolic declarations about “masterpiece” make me want to unsubscribe. The movie absolutely shirks the books, and not just because of adaptation to film media. Visually, yes. Story, no. It’s essentially a cherry picked reinterpretation. Doesn’t stay true to the themes of the books at all. The ending was almost Michael Bay tier action and plot.
Sorry for that. We're not trying to hyperbolic, we just really liked this movie! As for the merits of its adaptation, that's always tough because the books allow for a lot more personal interpretation and the movie sets that interpretation more objectively. What did you think of Lynch's version?
I like how he paces the movies. You can feel them instead of cramping in as much stressed events as possible.
Hes a master of atmospheric films (and more). Sicario is still indelibly stamped in my mind 9 years later....
He makes his movie flow like no other, I think it really helps that he doesn't overuse exposition and forced dialogue and just gives room to the scene and trusts the audience to pick up certain things.
@@pjetrs "Show, don't tell"....

@@StudioBinder Thank you so much for your answer!!! I really appreciate that.
But I mean, any suggestions on how to shot 1,85:1 or 2,39:1? What do I look for in the camera? Or how can I be sure I can use a camera to shot on that aspect ratio? I mean, is it even a thing on on high standard DSLRs these days? I really don't know.
A perfect film, this is what I always have wished sci-fi movies to be. Thank you for this 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it!

The vast majority of people are still not fully aware of the threat AI poses to traditional filmmaking and the intrinsic value of the craft and dedication required to achieve results like these. This video exists BECAUSE people want to know how others were capable of achieving results like these! If AI keeps evolving like it has in the last 2 years, in less than 5 years all blockbusters like Dune will be artificially generated. There will be no teams shooting in exotic locations, no teams building massive sets, no teams managing hundreds of extras - all this will be much cheaper, easier and faster being synthetically generated in a computer than it will be to go out into the real world and shoot it. The collaborative effort to shoot at the mercy of what life throws at us is at the very core of what makes cinema, cinema. The fact that stuff like Dune requires decades of collective experience to be pulled off is what astonishes, inspires and captivates us. When virtually anyone in the world is able to output photorealistic worlds like this while they’re sitting on their toilet, it will completely dilute its value. Legislation must be passed in order to make every single AI generated pixel uncopyrightable.
It will be very interesting to see how this develops. Hopefully, we can steer it away from complete disaster!
I liked Dune part one, I loved Dune part two.
Same!
Great!
Thanks!
The movie that ended the debate on global worming.
lol too random
10 Comedy Points!
Many scenes gave a big Tarkovsky vibe. Can see why ^
I don't believe for a second that the DP actually thought of shooting film or 16mm. I mean, come on lol
Please do make a video on dune's sound design
We did for Part One: ua-cam.com/video/-KHcbp8szrY/v-deo.htmlsi=0DwKQK4JA6H8iBgn
@@StudioBinder already watched it, need one on dune 2
I understand personal taste and all, but I would be very cautious to call this "a masterpiece".
First of all, let's see how well it stands the test of time.
sound and score ????
We definitely appreciate those elements but we had to keep the video to a reasonable length. Haha! But we did cover sound in Part One: ua-cam.com/video/-KHcbp8szrY/v-deo.htmlsi=nzJ839Dy412plPxI
@@StudioBinder i've watched it, i love your chanel, i follow you guys for a long time! do a part 2 of the analysis of dune part 2 ahahahah
Dudes will say they hate movies with tons of CGI then say their favorite movie is Dune 😂
It's an exceptional use, for sure!
they only hate the CGI in movies they don’t like 😂
Great.
Thanks for watching!
Is that Anya Taylor-Joy?! 😍 Wow NOW I really can't wait to watch this movie!
don't get too excited about that
i think you should go to watch it if its still on cinemas, you gonna love all her scenes they are amazing
@@IvaN-cf7qt I wish, but I can't afford the cinema.
It's only 5 dollars in Tuesdays at regal theaters
Yeah, you'll probably wanna wait for Dune Messiah whenever that comes out.

Finally
We finally did it!
2:07 "...do we shoot in 16mm?" Why would they shoot in 16mm? Do they want it to look like a 1960's documentary?
Haha. Now that would have been a bold choice!
Dune Vs Mad Max Fury road?
Now there's a debate!
How come whenever we see "behind the scenes" there's VERY little actual behind the scenes, and crew/director just talking about they did, in an organised interview?
I know that actual behind the scenes would be more boring perhaps, but that's what I want to see, not clips from the movie and interviews.
The script of this video sounds like it was we written by AI 😂
Hate to disappoint but it's 100% human :)
I wish StudioBinder would put more effort into making a decent and reliable film production product that isn't filled with bugs - instead of spending money on all these video content "lessons"
Wat?
Thanks for the feedback!
It might be controversial, but I don't like Dune cinematography and direction.
I find them to be so pretentious and artificlal. All style and little substance. Always prefering to look cool than to be effective.
Good film, but not crazy.
Thanks for sharing! Villeneuve and his team definitely made strong choices and that can often be divisive.
@hypatia137 I understand, but it's not that I prefer dialogue over images or that I don't think style can't overlap with substance.
The problem is that Villeneuve's films are so enamoured of themselves, instead of focusing on what matters, they are begging, almost blinking, for the audience to say "Look, how cool". Instead of capturing the scene and the story, the feels in the best way possible, the invert the process and create the scene to adapt to how they want it to look and feel. It never feels they had to shoot a piece of the story and they composed it like they did; it feels they compose the image and then create the scene around it. And this completely leaves the story in a second layer.
Let me explain it in another way: instead of creating something within the film, the story, that produces a certain feeling in the viewer, they are directly trying to create the feeling. You hear the music screaming and I am like "Am I supposed to feel anything?". Because the music is telling me to feel a way I don't find no reason to feel like. I have not found anything in the story that can cause that feeling. And I don't think Villeneuve paints it deeply so that viewers have to find it and delve into it. No, directly it's just not there.
I mentioned before that Villeneuve leaves the story behind and I think that's a huge problem of his. He's mentioned many times that he doesn't like dialogue, that images are much better (not that he prefers them, but that they are better), that “Frankly, I Hate Dialogue. Dialogue Is For Theatre And Television". That is horrendous in my opinion. Sound and dialogue are as vital to a film as images. They could exist one without the other and work but together they usually work better. Stories could be told only with images, but if Villeneuve doesn't excel at all at that, in my opinion, I find it a bit too ridiculous. If he's not good with it, just admit it. If he doesn't care about story, then say it.
He lives in his own world in which stylish images mean it all and he can convince audiences of that, and he actually can because people fall for that. A world in which blinking the audience every time is better than focusing on story.
People can disagree with me, but that's how I feel about him. I enjoy his films, they are good and they have some story but he's to me just that pretentious.
Why would anybody shoot on 16mm?
love the film clips. other hand, the cGPT written script, not so much. Silence is preferrable to non-stop vomit of pendantic flowery generalizations.
Thanks for the feedback.
Peter Jackson take notes
Oh wait he already did
he is just old right now after hobbit

I liked part one but part 2 was both too long and yet felt rushed in parts.
Interesting. They're definitely different films when it comes to pacing.
You guy's called it "Model" but yes it's AI.
👍
@StudioBinder Doesn't take away from the amazing craftsmanship from each department though. Will you guys cover A.I. anytime soon?
how much is actually photagraphy when he rides the worms? I bet the closeups only
From what we saw, it looks like most of the shots from full to close-up were probably shot on that gimbal set up.
Everything is a bucket.

All of these only looked at the visual components of the film. While Dune is visually stunning, the acting and screenplay are where Dune 2 fails. The dialogue is trite. Villeneuve weirdly tries to subtly break the fourth wall multiple times. The story itself feels choppy, with an indecisive rhythm.
In terms of the acting, nobody feels like they belong in the movie. Not once was I convinced that the character I watched wasn’t some actor. Even Timothee Chalamet just either shouted or muttered. True range isn’t just stretching the extremities of a performance, but capturing the entire spectrum in between those extremes too, something Chalamet doesn’t accomplish.
I did like Dune 2. but it’s only masterful in a visual perspective. It’s not a masterpiece in general, and doesn’t live up to other fantasy classics like The Fellowship of the Ring or The Empire Strikes Back.
Well said. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
He took a good book with a good story and destroyed it and made it boring.
Utter nonsense. He brought those books to life with exceptional world building, cinematography and storytelling. The second film is the antithesis of ‘boring’, so it’s clear you just desperately want some attention.
@@paul1720 Psychology on a dime, what attention? A bad movie, especially the second part, and it doesn't even come close to the world in the book and the characters!
Unpopular opinion: Dune 2 really dropped the ball. The way they tell portray the relationship of Paul and Chani is laughable and unnecessarily changed from the book, they have completely given up of portraying Arrakis as a dangerously hot and hostile place, and Timonthée Chalamet is not believable as a leader.
The first one was great the second was a huge letdown
How come?
Most overrated film of the last years.
Incredible because it's competing against EEAAO, Dune 1, Barbie and Oppenheimer.
I have to agree, I am still not over Margot Robbie's snub of Best Actress.
The only overrated thing in Dune part two is Zendayas acting.

Thanks for sharing! Sorry you didn't enjoy the film.
Based on that first clip I doubt I'll watch the sequel. Not into films about outsiders of an elite class coming into the lives of a rebellion class to uplift and save them. I absolutely hated the scene in the first one where the boy was able to overtake Jamis in the duel. I thought the boy should have lost but later have been mentored by Jamis. I did like Duncan's character. He goes ahead to Arrakis as a spy but returns convinced the Arrakian people are not savages. If the Arrakian custom is to fight to the death to show leadership, how were the two leaders so easily overtaken by a woman and a boy? No!!! I think it should have been a character like in the chronicles of Riddick, a real fighter for Arrakis, but would save the boy and the mother to reveal later the boy is truly special, like Neo. But just like in presidential elections in the US, there are groups of lower class people who would follow and support members of the elite as long as they pretend that they are among the people.
From a purely racial and purely geopolitical perspective, I agree that the white saviour narrative and trope is very annoying. But story-wise it works if you consider the whole universe. In the Dune universe humans have kept a purely Monarchical and Aristocratic (Great Houses of the Landsraad) type of governance. So Paul as a member and heir to a great house will be highly trained psychologically, psychologically and intellectually. Besting Jamis an untrained and undisciplined fighter makes sense.
@@jewulo I didn't really look at it as racial, since it looks like both societies are mixed racially. It was more about Pauls dreams or visions. I thought he would enter Arrakis as a student first, led by a strong Arrakian soldier, like Luke Skywalker and Yoda. But I didn't really view Paul as white and Jamis as black. I saw Paul as a kid and Jamis as an adult. Paul's vision in the beginning revealed Jamis talking to him, like the mentor trope. This was done in Monkey Man. The lead was trained before he became their hope to defeat a greedy elite class. But to make Paul kill Jamis did not offer me a "save the cat" moment. Instead of Skywalker, Paul is more like a young Darth Vader
Actually, if you look more into Frank Herbert's vision for this series, you might appreciate the direction it takes. It's not quite what you think.
If only they were good movies. 👎
Good movie but you're pretty generous with the word "masterpiece".
It’s is a technical masterpiece, even if you don’t believe the film itself is a masterpiece
As you can guess, we really liked it and we're predicting that it will age very well.
but - is it less boring and wannabe than part one?
Go watch a marvel movie scrub

They're definitely two different films and it seems people prefer one over the other.
Difficult question, as both were neither boring, nor wannabe.
You can’t capture everyone’s attention it’s not a easy task even Superman gotta bend something or fly to get anyone’s attention
Video titles and hyperbolic declarations about “masterpiece” make me want to unsubscribe. The movie absolutely shirks the books, and not just because of adaptation to film media. Visually, yes. Story, no. It’s essentially a cherry picked reinterpretation. Doesn’t stay true to the themes of the books at all. The ending was almost Michael Bay tier action and plot.
Beautifully and concisely said.
Sorry for that. We're not trying to hyperbolic, we just really liked this movie! As for the merits of its adaptation, that's always tough because the books allow for a lot more personal interpretation and the movie sets that interpretation more objectively. What did you think of Lynch's version?
Which software do you use for editing. @studiobinder
