The religious manipulative sect that tries to control politics and everyone from behind uses Hebrew words to describe their Messiah, kwizat Hadarach. While the poor desert people that have their resources stolen and are fighting against oppressors use Arabic words like Muadib an Mahdi
One thing I noticed was how Paul becomes even paler with dark circles around his eyes after taking the Water. It's a visual reminder that drives home how physically devastating the experience was to him, that no male in history before him survived and makes his newly-discovered Harkonnen ancestry visually apparent. He becomes even more ruthless and starts wearing black to show he's not much different from them at that point.
another visual cue is the black cape he uses after drinking the water of life. until that point his clotes are all equal to the fremen, then after the water he uses s black cape.
The reason that Paul and Feyd are roughly equal in their evolution under the Bene Gesserit eugenics program is that they were meant to be the parents of the Kwisatz Haderach. Jessica was ordered to bear a daughter to Leto, so that she could be wed to the Harkonnen heir (who turned out to be Feyd). Jessica screwed up their plans by having a son, rather than a daughter.
I thought it was strange that in the movie Jessica is portrayed as choosing to have a son so that he might be the Kwisatz Haderach, but in the books she chooses to have a son as an expression of her love for the duke. In the books, she didn't even know about the breeding plan until after Paul was born. At least that's how I remember it - is that right?

The one thing i think fell short in this movie is how they ignored the politics of the overtaking of shaddam IV by paul. The book makes it clear that paul will only marry the princess to have a claim over the throne, but chani will be his concubine and will be the one really sharing his bed and bearing his children. In the second book, that's the reason why the princess joined the conspirators to assassinate paul atreides.
This movie is like a Star Wars story ♥ A young man becomes evil and the girl is angry because he did not love her. Should he marry her? My little brother will fight the evil big brother in part 3 or 4
Upon my second viewing, I missed this line "you give water for the dead and it brings you joy". A cardinal sin for any Fremen, I was too caught up with story of the mother that lost her eye to catch it. I strongly suspected that Paul's crysknife was the one given to him by Chani. Reviewing the fight between Jamis and Paul. I believe it to be Jamis'. He didn't want Feyd dying with it. That is why he used Shaddam's knife for the kill. I'm uncertain though.

No, he stabbed Feyd with his ckrysknife and Feyd's blade landed in his shoulder. He used the tactic Gurney tought him in the first movie. He made Feyd confident he won and only deflected the blow from the throat to his shoulder while removing his own crysknife from his side and stabbing it into Feyd's guts. It took me two seanses to figure that all out. On the second viewing I also noticed that he had a vision of that final duel when he was at the pool they dwoned that small worm. There is a short flash vision of the knife in his shoulder.
I’m so happy they gave chani agency in the movie, I related most with her character , it was clear Paul was going to become the protagonist after he obtained too much power. I wish they made it clear Paul was only marrying Irulan for political reasons and his true love is still Chani. Overall dune 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched ❤
One of my few critique of the film is the lack of lore exploration, like the 🐛 ridding or the importance of spice or the space guild for that matter. Great film though
@@jasonmaxwell100 dude, here in brazil i've seen some wierd dude saying that melange was important because of the space guild (ok) and becase of it being a narcotic. He didn't anything of the bene gesserit or it's effect on increasing life expectancy.
@@carlosdias854 It is needed for space travel. That is how the space ship pilots navigate their ships as they are able to 'predict' or see the route using large amounts of spice. Since no computers are used and so-called thinking machines are banned, it is the only way for planetary travel to exist. The spice also increases life expectancy and slows down aging to near double the natural level.
Well done. But the great houses fall in line with Paul because he can stop the spice flow which would cripple space travel, and commerce between the worlds.
i predicted that they gon changed what happened to Rabban, in the book Gurney never even met Rabban in the end, making it the most anti climatic part of these 2 rivalry, and im so happy they did that
Paul & Chani's child is called Leto, the same name as Paul's father who are both killed Paul & Chani, later have twins - a boy and girl. The boy is named Leto the 2nd
Did you get the vibe from the movie that Chani and Paul were going to have kids? They changed how Chani in this version . She is unsupportive of Paul Destroying all of the Freemen's enemies and bring them to power. Reason? She does not think her people need a outsider to "save " them EVEN THOUGH she supports him and trains him in the fremen ways and defended him and says he has earned being freeman ......makes no sense .
@@necromorph1109i hated mary jane's part in this movie. They turned chani unsuportive only to make her seem a strong women and have actually ignored a really important plot point for the second book. Paul's fear of losing chani in childbirth proves to be his downfall.
@@necromorph1109 Yes. I got the impression that she was pregnant with Paul at the end and played such a big part of why she walked away. Chani's change in demeanor towards the end of the film, mirrors Pauls. While he embraces his Harkonnen side and how quickly and easily he sways the freman unites the northern and southerners she is left appalled at the tactics (using nukes that could destroy a planet) and the offworld customs (confessioning eternal love but marrying someone else). DV's changes to Chani in the movie compared to the book is fantastic. It made absolute sense to anyone paying attention.
@@BederikStorm yes that's right, i was just correcting the video where they mentioned that Leto II (the first child) died. He was never called Leto the 2nd.
I noticed several in Part One - At what point did Dr. Yueh deposit the Duke's ring in the Fremkit? There's no time for him to do so in the time given him in the film. How did Yueh even get the Fremkit AND scratch his mark in the 'thopter BEFORE the attack? Inside knowledge? (more to add later)
haven't read the books, did find the Dune movies fantastic. Dune 2 leveled up to one big masterpiece. A mix of politics, religion, sci fi with a medieval touch. characters growing into their roles, changing over time. Also, to my opinion, the question on a 'prophecy', is it a prophecy or a self fulfilling prophecy.
Villnueve's Feyd isn't canon. Feyd in the novel is just another step in the BG breeding program. He was supposed to sire a child with an Atreides female and "seal the breech", but Jessica out of love (something V ignores) gave Leto a son and heir. Canon Feyd received no BG training. HIs mother, Lady Rabban, wife to Abulurd Rabban (formerly Harkonnen), didn't train him in anything. He didn't have foresight and he would have failed Lady Fenring's non-canon Gom Jabbar.

@@kylecrane4376he’s definitely lost some of his humanity. You two seem like the religious fanatics that are manipulated by charisma. Chani is very smart in these films and given agrncy
If you missed Irulan's narrations you're blind, deaf and paralysed. Wow, such great eye for detail! Totally not a "let's ride the Dune sandworm a little bit harder for views" video.
doesn't work like that, they NEVER mentioned in the movies Liet was Chanis mother. In DV adaption they arent related. You cant use book knowledge in this movies, he threw it all away.
You can use an understanding of the books to complement your understanding of the films. I like that the director made Liet a woman. But I like knowing the meaning of the blue bandana.
Alia is really missing in Dune 2. She killed baron Harkonnen, not Paul. Relationship Chani and Paul is completely wrong in the new movie. They had a kid (later killed by imperator raid), and lived together. Once Paul stopped seeing the future path, Chani supported him taking the water of life. She never left him. She was not Fedaykin. Paul did not misuse Fremens as she suggests. The "new plot" looks to me a bit woke, not a Dune lore.
Did anyone see the huge mistake in the fighting scene between Paul and his cousin?! The stab was in Paul’s stomach, then they showed it in his shoulder. HUGE Mistake.
I sort of had impression that the worms in movie did actually swivel, but rather up-down than left-right - if you get what I mean - that could maybe explain the motion. Interesting question though :)
The fact that every video that talks about dune 2 has spoilers from the books and in the end from dune 3 blow my mind. For spoiler haters those videos cant be seen
How do they go from the immense struggle to get on a worm as shown through Paul's first ride to then just being able to put whole a caravan of people and little baskets when Jessica is riding in?
They can control the worms with the hooks that are like reins on a horse. Even a wild horse will take off running after mounting but can be brought under control by the reins, slowed down and even stopped for someone else to climb on. The hooks open the segments to expose the sensitive areas of the worms to help control and steer it. They don't show all that but they probably will in the next movie if it's green lighted.
To be clear, there are THREE Leto Atreides - Paul’s father, Paul’s first son with Chani who dies as a baby, and Paul’s second son who becomes the God Emperor/sand worm hybrid that lives for 4000 years. This last Leto is Leto II, not his murdered brother.
@@Gubble-oq6dnJust because reading a book like a halfway civilized human being is too much for you doesn't mean you can call spoilers and speak down to people to do. Be better.
Another interesting fact that you missed was that the Harkonnen planet scene was shot in infrared. This creates the vivid black and white style you've called "stark brutalist greyscale".
@@JCoffTopic He still loves her after water of life. It's just that he makes the sacrifice for the greater good to go against Chani (and his own) wishes and becomes the Lisan al Gaib and marries Irulan etc...
@@turbofisto69 maybe, for the movie's twist, he had some vision where if he stayed with her she would die (Like in that dream with the Nuke). So maybe that's he chose this path even though he loves her. The way he told her those things at the end and the way he looks at her would back this up. (A friend's theory, not mine)
You don't get it The point of dune is that there are no good guys Only charismatic leaders taking advantage of the position and resources before them Paul is no different than the baron Just a foreigner taking over Dune, leading it to war
His behavior change after taking the water of life is motivated also by vengance and fear. In the begining, Jessica warns him that his father “didn’t belive in revenge”, signaling to the duke’s more compassionate nature, diferent from Paul, who in the books is said to resemble more his grandfather, the Old Duke. After unlocking his powers, not only he accepts his “terrible purpose”, but also utilizes this to revenge his father. The fear comes from the visions in wich he sees Chani dying if the Harkonens and the Emperor keep Arrakis. Since he forsees that, in most futures, she stays with him, he takes on the role anyway, waging war, also for his fear of loosing his beloved Chani. Anyway, deep down, he’s still human and is motivated by human feelings, his persona is intact. Diferent from pre-borns (nod to his son, Leto) who are not so held back and, thus, can take on harder choices… but that’s another story 😄
If you love the books and expect this movie to be close to the books. Forget. Not even close. But that being said it is a good movie. Excellent acting great graphics and directing. But I see very little of the book in the movie. It is much closer to the books than Peter Jackson's movie lord of the rings.
Yeah. I get the feeling that 'modernity' contaminated the movie. Chani switched from being loyal, loving, and supportive to becoming a defiant strong independent wahman who don't need no Paul, as well as being an ardent anti-theist. The religious Fremen, which in the book were all of them but in the movie only consisted of the 'Southerners', became totally braindead morons who mutter "As it is written" a lot and suddenly became incapable of independent or rational thought about midway through. They also cut out her having Paul's baby, because reasons.
Yes, because in the books, the Fremen were more patriarchal. Chani in the movie says Fremen men and women are equal, but in the book, they weren't. Fremen men were in charge, they could have multiple wives, wives were traded off if a man fought for her, so book Chani was OK with Paul taking Irulan as a wife because she knew she was Paul's real love, they'd been together for years, had had a child together and other relationships were allowed to Fremen men. Movie Chani was not raised like this, nor was she with Paul long, so she was less accepting.
@@druidriley3163 Slight point of correction, the Fremen were allowed to compete/fight for women UNTIL that woman had been claimed. They couldn't just take someone's wife away. The Polygamy aspect is historically common in cultures where there is high male mortality. In Fremen society, Paul was *expected* to take care of Jamis's wife and sons after he killed him in the duel. This wasn't a perk, but a responsibility I really wish this stuff were in the movie, Fremen culture is not only fascinating, it's practical considering the type of existence they led.
@@notcrazy6288 *the Fremen were allowed to compete/fight for women UNTIL that woman had been claimed* Um, no, in the book Dune, Harah tells Paul that she's been told she looked just as young as she did when Jamis won her from her previous husband. So she was already claimed by a man, but Jamis wanted her and challenged her previous husband to a fight to the death for her and won. Did she have a choice? Apparently not. *Paul was expected to take care of Jamis's wife and sons after he killed him in the duel. This wasn't a perk, but a responsibility* Yeah, but he could also use her as a servant which was a perk for him, which she didn't like or want but she had no choice. Harah's status in the sietch would immediately fall from a wife to a servant.
@@notcrazy6288you sound like an incel. I’m glad they gave Chani agency in the movies, it makes sense why Paul would be in love with a woman that humbles him.
Where's the IMPORTANCE of the SPICE? The influence of the NAVIGATORS on the EMPEROR? Where's DUNCAN IDAHO reincarnated? Where's the long description of post-drink Paul's ability to see the future? Where's the RELATIONSHIP between Chani and Paul? In the BOOK and Lynch's version that relationship was honored, not dumped!!
There is still plenty of time in Messiah for Chani and Paul's relationship, and that's also where Duncan returns. But I do agree they have kind of sold short the importance of spice, and how much power and influence the navigators have over the emperor. If I remember right, even the Fremen were sending bribes of pure unrefined spice to the guild in exchange for the removal of spy satellites over Fremen territory. Lynch hammered this home with how the navigators were getting sick from lack of spice and even threatened to put the Emperor in a pain amplifier if he didn't get spice production back up.
Duncan Idaho doesn't get "reincarnated" really, it's more like the dead flesh gets cloned and he has a clone. That doesn't happen until book 2, though. Lynch's version is more accurate in some ways, but also extremely inaccurate in more important ways and completely missed the core themes of Dune, basically making Paul a superhero.
Most of them climb off and then the rider removes the hooks and leaps off the back. Most of the time though, they just ride them until the worm gets exhausted and collapses on top of the sand.
I'll be rereading the first book because of how they portrayed chani. She never chalenged paul in the books and the two of them were deeply in love. She never went to the deep desert. All of her scenes in this movie made me cringe. Her complaining of manipulation were actually the lines of lyet kynes before he died. So they butchered a cool character in the first book only to make mary jane's character seem more important in the second.
L take chani is more like one dimension in book just a battle machine she even has lesser importance In second Here she was not forced but well developed woman
@@prakhyatsingh263 well developed woman? One dimensional character? Of course not, chani had her part to play in the books as a plot device and paul's weakness exploited by his enemies. There was no need to make her into a main character when we had characters like jessica and alia in the first books and the bene gesserit like lucilla and odrade later on who by the way had a much more interesting arc other than being a developed woman, wtf? As it stands, the story can't progress and all that because they wanted to shove zendaya somewhere in this movie. That's what happens when script is done by those who don't understand the books.
@@marlonmoncrieffe0728 yes, of course he was butchered. Lyet kynes had a lot more depth in the books and was the de facto leader of the fremen. He was the one worried the his people would be controlled through faith and foretold paul becoming a dictator right before his death in the middle of the desert. Paul could only become the lisan al'gaib because lyet died.
@@carlosdias854 Books have a lot more leeway to write about minor characters. Movies don't have that kind of time or money. Did Liet Kynes' existence really affect the storyline of Dune other than start the Fremen on the path to terraforming the planet and show how fatalistic they were? No. So why spend the time and money on the character in the movie?

They never mention when a Lasgun contacts an active shield it results in an atomic explosion. One of the Harkonens in the beginning just tells out "no shields!" To his squad as they get headshotted by Lasgun fire.
Those were maula pistols which aren't lasguns. He said no shields because shields attract worms. You're right though about the explosion when lasguns hit shields.
@@stephengrant4841 true but they don't show what weapons were used and they were already on top of a high rock outcrop safe from the worms, a thumper was already activated after all. Even if they were Maula pistols I don't think the Harkonens knew and assumed it better be safe than set off a nuclear reaction in a spice rich area.
In the book yes, but in the film they shorten the timespan significantly. You can tell because Jessica doesn't give birth to Ayla as she does in the books

Upon my second viewing, I missed this line "you give water for the dead and it brings you joy". A cardinal sin for any Fremen, I was too caught up with story of the mother that lost her eye to catch it. I strongly suspected that Paul's crysknife was the one given to him by Chani. Reviewing the fight between Jamis and Paul. I believe it to be Jamis'. He didn't want Feyd dying with it. That is why he used Shaddam's knife for the kill. I'm uncertain though.

No, he stabbed Feyd with his ckrysknife and Feyd's blade landed in his shoulder. He used the tactic Gurney tought him in the first movie. He made Feyd confident he won and only deflected the blow from the throat to his shoulder while removing his own crysknife from his side and stabbing it into Feyd's guts. It took me two seanses to figure that all out. On the second viewing I also noticed that he had a vision of that final duel when he was at the pool they dwoned that small worm.

In my headcanon, Arrival is part of the Dune universe and the "aliens" were actually very, very, very early Guild Navigators.
That's cool, but the book said the Navigators are humans transformed by spice.
@@kedabro1957that's why I used """. To humans on present day Earth, they'd look alien.
I’m so happy they gave chani agency in the movie, I related most with her character , it was clear Paul was going to become the protagonist after he obtained too much power. I wish they made it clear Paul was only marrying Irulan for political reasons and his true love is still Chani. Overall dune 2 is one of the best movies I’ve ever watched ❤
Didn't miss any of those points - but thanks for the vid anyway. Was a good watch.
One of my few critique of the film is the lack of lore exploration, like the 🐛 ridding or the importance of spice or the space guild for that matter. Great film though
Movie was very boring.

@@carlosdias854 It is needed for space travel. That is how the space ship pilots navigate their ships as they are able to 'predict' or see the route using large amounts of spice. Since no computers are used and so-called thinking machines are banned, it is the only way for planetary travel to exist. The spice also increases life expectancy and slows down aging to near double the natural level.
I loved it when Paul got on the worm and said: It's sandworming time!
A MASTERPIECE
Well done. But the great houses fall in line with Paul because he can stop the spice flow which would cripple space travel, and commerce between the worlds.
i predicted that they gon changed what happened to Rabban, in the book Gurney never even met Rabban in the end, making it the most anti climatic part of these 2 rivalry, and im so happy they did that
You need te mention there's heavy spoilers for people who haven't read the books or seen the old movies!!!!
It is a “banner” at the start of the video. Go back to the very start to see it.
Paul & Chani's child is called Leto, the same name as Paul's father who are both killed
Paul & Chani, later have twins - a boy and girl. The boy is named Leto the 2nd
The number came with the throne. Once their father left them, they became emperor and empress. Alia was just the regent
Did you get the vibe from the movie that Chani and Paul were going to have kids? They changed how Chani in this version . She is unsupportive of Paul Destroying all of the Freemen's enemies and bring them to power. Reason? She does not think her people need a outsider to "save " them EVEN THOUGH she supports him and trains him in the fremen ways and defended him and says he has earned being freeman ......makes no sense .
@@necromorph1109i hated mary jane's part in this movie. They turned chani unsuportive only to make her seem a strong women and have actually ignored a really important plot point for the second book. Paul's fear of losing chani in childbirth proves to be his downfall.
@@necromorph1109 Yes. I got the impression that she was pregnant with Paul at the end and played such a big part of why she walked away.
Chani's change in demeanor towards the end of the film, mirrors Pauls. While he embraces his Harkonnen side and how quickly and easily he sways the freman unites the northern and southerners she is left appalled at the tactics (using nukes that could destroy a planet) and the offworld customs (confessioning eternal love but marrying someone else).
DV's changes to Chani in the movie compared to the book is fantastic. It made absolute sense to anyone paying attention.
@@BederikStorm yes that's right, i was just correcting the video where they mentioned that Leto II (the first child) died. He was never called Leto the 2nd.
I noticed several in Part One -
At what point did Dr. Yueh deposit the Duke's ring in the Fremkit? There's no time for him to do so in the time given him in the film.
How did Yueh even get the Fremkit AND scratch his mark in the 'thopter BEFORE the attack? Inside knowledge?
(more to add later)
"GeT oUT of My MIIIIIINNNNNDDD"! 🤣
That sandworm can feed the village for a whole year
The sandworm cannot be destroyed and it's considered a deity for the Fremen, so, no.
I feel like you are quoting something. Dances with Wolves maybe?
haven't read the books, did find the Dune movies fantastic. Dune 2 leveled up to one big masterpiece. A mix of politics, religion, sci fi with a medieval touch. characters growing into their roles, changing over time. Also, to my opinion, the question on a 'prophecy', is it a prophecy or a self fulfilling prophecy.
Villnueve's Feyd isn't canon. Feyd in the novel is just another step in the BG breeding program. He was supposed to sire a child with an Atreides female and "seal the breech", but Jessica out of love (something V ignores) gave Leto a son and heir. Canon Feyd received no BG training. HIs mother, Lady Rabban, wife to Abulurd Rabban (formerly Harkonnen), didn't train him in anything. He didn't have foresight and he would have failed Lady Fenring's non-canon Gom Jabbar.

The dictionary says it's the accepted version of a story. Historically it means the Christian scriptures the Church accepts as true. Many scriptures 2000 years ago were fake, and the Church declared them not part of the Bible.
Later, Protestants deleted even more scriptures. Those scriptures are still in the Catholic Bible.
@@gmatsue84 To refer to something as “canon” means that it is the official source material for a particular story.
I know that after a minimal amount of research into the other books, there is a clear reason why they only make movies about the first book
He was still Paul. He cares but sees no other way to save his people so he uses his new powers with his old self. That’s how I see it.
Same. Not 100% cold, but there was, in his view, no other path forward to both survive and prevent complete collapse into war inter-house wars. Still, it's worth noting that might certainly work out to not be in the real best interest of the Freeman so the prophecy was his way to manipulate them into being his Sardukar.
@@kylecrane4376he’s definitely lost some of his humanity. You two seem like the religious fanatics that are manipulated by charisma. Chani is very smart in these films and given agrncy
This is why he is so sad at the end. He's done exactly what he didn't want to do and caused a rift with Chani as well. A real tragedy.
Leto = Duke of Caladan. Leto = child who is murdered. Leto II is the God Emperor of Dune.
There were several Leto II. Only one of them survived to become God Emperor

I’ve read that the blue bandana is for mourning. Chani is mourning the lose of her mother, Liet Kynes.
doesn't work like that, they NEVER mentioned in the movies Liet was Chanis mother. In DV adaption they arent related.
You cant use book knowledge in this movies, he threw it all away.
They may not have mentioned it in the movie, but DV confirmed in an interview that Liet Kynes is in fact Chani's mother @@pistolgrip1942
In the film, Liet Kynes is not related to Chani.
You can use an understanding of the books to complement your understanding of the films. I like that the director made Liet a woman. But I like knowing the meaning of the blue bandana.
Wouldn't she be mourning the death of Leto? They seem to have removed this plot point from the film but it might have been a nod to book readers

no. first cousins once removed.
@@beefyoso you know what, in english, yes. In my native language we'd just literally use nephew/uncle.
I wonder if in the future series if they will show Leto II swing Alia around his head and throw her.
Alia is really missing in Dune 2. She killed baron Harkonnen, not Paul. Relationship Chani and Paul is completely wrong in the new movie. They had a kid (later killed by imperator raid), and lived together. Once Paul stopped seeing the future path, Chani supported him taking the water of life. She never left him. She was not Fedaykin. Paul did not misuse Fremens as she suggests. The "new plot" looks to me a bit woke, not a Dune lore.
That was the shortest 3hr movie I seen since Oppenheimer.
Did anyone see the huge mistake in the fighting scene between Paul and his cousin?! The stab was in Paul’s stomach, then they showed it in his shoulder. HUGE Mistake.
When the worms exploded from the sand clouds, i was like 'oh fuck no. Just NOPE.'

Shouldn’t the worms swivel somehow to propel, how can they just go straight..?
I sort of had impression that the worms in movie did actually swivel, but rather up-down than left-right - if you get what I mean - that could maybe explain the motion. Interesting question though :)
I completely missed the Spacing Guild, Alia of the Knife, Count Fenring, Thufir Hawat, Jamis' children, Paul and Chani falling in love, Leto II.
How does one unmount a worm?
we were wondering the same thing watching it haha, I was hoping they would show it!
And how did they get like 30+ people on the worm? Does the work stop and wait for everyone to get on? 🤨
With extreme care! Hahaa
Didn't miss any part of what you talked about, 😂
alia saying we require more vespine gas. hahahaha
The fact that every video that talks about dune 2 has spoilers from the books and in the end from dune 3 blow my mind. For spoiler haters those videos cant be seen
Zendaya’s look in the thumbnail is one of two she has in the entire movie. One is open mouthed and one is the same but closed mouth.
How do they go from the immense struggle to get on a worm as shown through Paul's first ride to then just being able to put whole a caravan of people and little baskets when Jessica is riding in?
They can control the worms with the hooks that are like reins on a horse. Even a wild horse will take off running after mounting but can be brought under control by the reins, slowed down and even stopped for someone else to climb on. The hooks open the segments to expose the sensitive areas of the worms to help control and steer it. They don't show all that but they probably will in the next movie if it's green lighted.
To be clear, there are THREE Leto Atreides - Paul’s father, Paul’s first son with Chani who dies as a baby, and Paul’s second son who becomes the God Emperor/sand worm hybrid that lives for 4000 years. This last Leto is Leto II, not his murdered brother.

@@JCoffTopic He still loves her after water of life. It's just that he makes the sacrifice for the greater good to go against Chani (and his own) wishes and becomes the Lisan al Gaib and marries Irulan etc...
Yes and yes. But Paul is also attempting to protect her. Chani going into the desert, may protect her from nefarious actions at court.
@@turbofisto69 maybe, for the movie's twist, he had some vision where if he stayed with her she would die (Like in that dream with the Nuke). So maybe that's he chose this path even though he loves her. The way he told her those things at the end and the way he looks at her would back this up. (A friend's theory, not mine)
I felt it was too easy for the good guys in the 2nd movie, but realizing that they had to withstand huge losses the first movie makes up for it
You don't get it
The point of dune is that there are no good guys
Only charismatic leaders taking advantage of the position and resources before them
Paul is no different than the baron
Just a foreigner taking over Dune, leading it to war
His behavior change after taking the water of life is motivated also by vengance and fear. In the begining, Jessica warns him that his father “didn’t belive in revenge”, signaling to the duke’s more compassionate nature, diferent from Paul, who in the books is said to resemble more his grandfather, the Old Duke. After unlocking his powers, not only he accepts his “terrible purpose”, but also utilizes this to revenge his father. The fear comes from the visions in wich he sees Chani dying if the Harkonens and the Emperor keep Arrakis. Since he forsees that, in most futures, she stays with him, he takes on the role anyway, waging war, also for his fear of loosing his beloved Chani. Anyway, deep down, he’s still human and is motivated by human feelings, his persona is intact. Diferent from pre-borns (nod to his son, Leto) who are not so held back and, thus, can take on harder choices… but that’s another story 😄
Glossu Rabban is not called "Harkonnen" ever.
If you love the books and expect this movie to be close to the books. Forget. Not even close. But that being said it is a good movie. Excellent acting great graphics and directing. But I see very little of the book in the movie. It is much closer to the books than Peter Jackson's movie lord of the rings.
In the books, didnt Chany stays with Paul despite the arranged Marriage?
Yeah. I get the feeling that 'modernity' contaminated the movie. Chani switched from being loyal, loving, and supportive to becoming a defiant strong independent wahman who don't need no Paul, as well as being an ardent anti-theist. The religious Fremen, which in the book were all of them but in the movie only consisted of the 'Southerners', became totally braindead morons who mutter "As it is written" a lot and suddenly became incapable of independent or rational thought about midway through. They also cut out her having Paul's baby, because reasons.
Yes, because in the books, the Fremen were more patriarchal. Chani in the movie says Fremen men and women are equal, but in the book, they weren't. Fremen men were in charge, they could have multiple wives, wives were traded off if a man fought for her, so book Chani was OK with Paul taking Irulan as a wife because she knew she was Paul's real love, they'd been together for years, had had a child together and other relationships were allowed to Fremen men. Movie Chani was not raised like this, nor was she with Paul long, so she was less accepting.
@@druidriley3163 Slight point of correction, the Fremen were allowed to compete/fight for women UNTIL that woman had been claimed. They couldn't just take someone's wife away. The Polygamy aspect is historically common in cultures where there is high male mortality. In Fremen society, Paul was *expected* to take care of Jamis's wife and sons after he killed him in the duel. This wasn't a perk, but a responsibility
I really wish this stuff were in the movie, Fremen culture is not only fascinating, it's practical considering the type of existence they led.
@@notcrazy6288 *the Fremen were allowed to compete/fight for women UNTIL that woman had been claimed* Um, no, in the book Dune, Harah tells Paul that she's been told she looked just as young as she did when Jamis won her from her previous husband. So she was already claimed by a man, but Jamis wanted her and challenged her previous husband to a fight to the death for her and won. Did she have a choice? Apparently not. *Paul was expected to take care of Jamis's wife and sons after he killed him in the duel. This wasn't a perk, but a responsibility* Yeah, but he could also use her as a servant which was a perk for him, which she didn't like or want but she had no choice. Harah's status in the sietch would immediately fall from a wife to a servant.
@@notcrazy6288you sound like an incel. I’m glad they gave Chani agency in the movies, it makes sense why Paul would be in love with a woman that humbles him.

Worms filter. It's their internal filter that's studying through the sand, which attaches to that sand, creating spice.
Where's the IMPORTANCE of the SPICE? The influence of the NAVIGATORS on the EMPEROR? Where's DUNCAN IDAHO reincarnated? Where's the long description of post-drink Paul's ability to see the future? Where's the RELATIONSHIP between Chani and Paul? In the BOOK and Lynch's version that relationship was honored, not dumped!!
Take it down a notch.
@@tanyajohnson14 I read DUNE **59** years ago and it's not easy to see major plot points just dumped. Lynch's version was far better in many ways.
There is still plenty of time in Messiah for Chani and Paul's relationship, and that's also where Duncan returns. But I do agree they have kind of sold short the importance of spice, and how much power and influence the navigators have over the emperor. If I remember right, even the Fremen were sending bribes of pure unrefined spice to the guild in exchange for the removal of spy satellites over Fremen territory.
Lynch hammered this home with how the navigators were getting sick from lack of spice and even threatened to put the Emperor in a pain amplifier if he didn't get spice production back up.
Duncan Idaho doesn't get "reincarnated" really, it's more like the dead flesh gets cloned and he has a clone. That doesn't happen until book 2, though. Lynch's version is more accurate in some ways, but also extremely inaccurate in more important ways and completely missed the core themes of Dune, basically making Paul a superhero.
@NoBody-xg1wg you're right. this sequel is trash. I read the book 30 years ago. the zoomers love it tho.
The Harkonnen soldier saying 'No shields!" in the beginning was to prevent the Lasguns creating an atomic explosion when interacting with shields.
They were also in worm territory and it is a major attractant to them.
I was disappointed that Alia didn't really appear in the film. And Baron Harkonnen was barely in it.
As in the old movie Superfly “ Freddy’s Dead”. After he took the water of life, there is no more Paul…. This series of books is a tragedy.🥲

Most of them climb off and then the rider removes the hooks and leaps off the back. Most of the time though, they just ride them until the worm gets exhausted and collapses on top of the sand.
They just jump off. They're not that far above the ground.

Dude spent decades writing this intricate plot spamming multiple books and people just think they know better because of "modern times"...aff
I'll be rereading the first book because of how they portrayed chani. She never chalenged paul in the books and the two of them were deeply in love. She never went to the deep desert. All of her scenes in this movie made me cringe. Her complaining of manipulation were actually the lines of lyet kynes before he died. So they butchered a cool character in the first book only to make mary jane's character seem more important in the second.
L take chani is more like one dimension in book just a battle machine she even has lesser importance In second
Here she was not forced but well developed woman
@@prakhyatsingh263 well developed woman? One dimensional character? Of course not, chani had her part to play in the books as a plot device and paul's weakness exploited by his enemies. There was no need to make her into a main character when we had characters like jessica and alia in the first books and the bene gesserit like lucilla and odrade later on who by the way had a much more interesting arc other than being a developed woman, wtf?

Butchered?

Paul could only become the lisan al'gaib because lyet died.
@@carlosdias854 Books have a lot more leeway to write about minor characters. Movies don't have that kind of time or money.

No. So why spend the time and money on the character in the movie?
