Original Movie: Dune Part 2
35:24 Paul is Bene Gesserit trained. His body is probably already staunching the blood and healing those wounds
Also, what kills you from a non-critical wound is blood/moisture loss, the stillsuit gathers that lost blood like sweat and the tight integrity puts pressure on the wound. As long as you are careful to drink the reclaimed water and presuming something vital wasn’t struck, you can survive for quite a while without aid
As a life long fan of the Dune novels, "Futuristic yet ancient" is the perfect explanation. The year says 10191 but that's in their calendar, its around 23,000 years from now.
There needs to be a Baron Harkonnen balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I'd settle for an ornithopter, but a Harkonnen float would make me take the parade less seriously, lmao!
They'd never agree to it...but it's brilliant. 🤩
Everything about this movie was dialed to 11. The sound, visuals, acting, story, editing and pacing. Insanely well done
7:58
They aren't worried about the babies life
It is forbidden to perform that ceremony on a pregnant women because the baby will be a reverend mother from the birth, too powerful and uncontrollable
It's not that they are too powerful or uncontrollable, it's that pre-born are highly susceptible to possession. Never having developed their own sense of identity nor having their own life before receiving the ego-memories of millions people, they struggle with their memories, confusing their own with ego-memories and becoming overwhelmed by all the voices that are pushing to take control and eventually succumbing to a dominant one. Only Ghanima would find a way to cut herself off from the ego-memories and retain her own self permanently. To an extent Leto II as well, though it's ambiguous whether accepting the presence of Harum in his mind is to be considered possession or not.
the guy in the beginning said no shields because they attract the worms and stir them into a killing frenzy
And if it's hit by a laser gun the shield goes nuclear.
Honestly why are they worried about worms, they are at a height and there were no worms nearby
@@spectrum910 It wasn't really about the worms, it was about lasers and how they interact with shields, though it's easy to understand the confusion because the movies never explain that. If a laser hits a shield it causes a nuclear explosion at a random point between the firer and the target(Or just incinerates both). If someone had fired a laser and accidentally tagged a nearby shield all of them would have been instantly killed.
@@shadow7988 it could have been easily explained in the first movie through Duncan after he finds them in the desert. How he buried an active shield in the sand because the Harkonnens were using lasguns to kill Atreides hiding in the sand. Maybe show a distant flash in the horizon to force Duncan to explain to Paul and Jessica (and the audience).
@@shadow7988 that makes sense. I kept wondering about this and if I would come across a comment it would give the reason of worm frenzy which was mentioned in first movie.
I like to think Christopher Walken being cast as The Emperor is a reference to the Fatboy Slim song. Because he’s in that and there’s a lyrical reference to Dune in the song, they quote “walk without rhythm and you won’t attract the worm”
Fatboy Slim had prescience, he is the true Kwisatz Haderach.
So... Some context.
The "Great Houses" have been bred for millennia by Bene Geserit. They are like prized cows. Except we breed cows to give us nice marbled meat, or a lot of milk. They bred them to produce Lisan Al Ghaib. And they were only one generation off, too.
Jessica was supposed to have a daughter. That daughter would be then wed to Feyd and their child would be the God Emperor. The perfect human with the gift of foresight.
But Jessica fell in love with the duke and gave him a son instead. Which is the entire reason the reverend mother had the house Atreidies wiped out. They were unruly, corrupted one of her sisters (Jessica), and Paul was too dangerous to be left alive. He was 95% God Emperor and they had no control over him.
not Lisan al'Gaib - that's a legend of the Misionaria Protectiva planted on primitive worlds in case a BG found herself in trouble, and could exploit the legend to gain support from the locals. BG wanted Kwisatz Haderach.
And Atreides were wiped out because they grew too popular, and Leto was charismatic, which threatened the Emperor, but what really sealed his fate was training fighters almost as good as the Sardaukar, which had the potential to destroy the balance of power. BG wanted to salvage Paul, as a potential Kwisatz Haderach, despite Jessica's unsanctioned actions, but not the Atreides, because stepping in to rescue the entire house could jeopardize their own position.
As if they could control the KW no matter when he appeared. How did that work out for them? 😮
19:42 This Atreides soldier is Lt. Lanville he was in several scenes in Part 1.
He is played by the film’s fight coordinator Roger Yuan.
Stilgar was such a hype man here ✊🏽 one of my favorite details was when the Fremen burned the bodies of the Harkonnens because their bodies water was not worth the reclamation. Lisan-Al-Gaib!
Stilgar said it was full of chemicals, but it was still good for cooling systems. It shows that Paul already radicalized them, they wasted the water even though they still are in need of it.
And because Paul promised them a green paradise.
LISAN AL GAIB
@@DavidLopez-qi8hbI disagree. I think the movies simply don't put as much emphasis on the scarcity of water as the books. Ffs they're all walking around with their heads uncovered half the time so the camera can see their faces.
But they didn't burn the bodies. They extracted the water to use for cooling systems, and then let the worms eat the dehydrated bodies.
The greatest epic sci Fi in recent memory. So excited that you're finally reacting to this!!
LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!!!
“I wrote the Dune series because I had this idea that charismatic leaders ought to come with a warning label on their forehead: "May be dangerous to your health." One of the most dangerous presidents we had in this century was John Kennedy because people said "Yes Sir Mr. Charismatic Leader what do we do next?” -Frank Herbert.
@@neptunusrex5195Kennedy was able to get away with so much because he was loved. People like Herbert had a distrust of power and those in power. The Kennedys are known for their ability to abuse power and suffer no consequences because they are loved.
@@neptunusrex5195 Herbert hated the US involvement in Vietnam, but it was more Kennedy's popularity more than anything else, imo. Herbert mistrusted that popularity, which falls right in line with the theme he wrote in Dune and, more particularly, Dune Messiah. While he was a Republican, the type of Republican Herbert embodied barely exists any more, if at all. He didn't like Reagan, either, viewing him as too right-wing (and highly popular like Kennedy). If you want to take what we know about Herbert's political views and cast them on the current landscape, maybe... Libertarian? This is a stretch, but Biden-esque Dem? The 60s-80s were very, very different from today.
@@crabuki1273 Yeah, Herbert was very big on environmental conservation, distrustful of charismatic/popular leaders and passion-driven movements, suspicious of organized religion and big government, and pro-learning about and from other cultures. He really doesn't fit into the 2020s political divide at all but is probably closer to a Biden-esque moderate Dem or maybe a Never Trumper than anything else.
Electing the grossly unpopular and horrible cadidate is not a better option.
@@crabuki1273Eisenhower Republican? Small government centrist with some concern for civil rights. Goldwater Republican?anti-communist libertarian with enough respect for science to care about conservation as well as the space program. Kennedy had the sense to see we couldn't win in Vietnam, but he didn't want the blame, so he intended to wait until his second term to withdraw. Then his head exploded across the trunk of a car.
Fun fact, the grandfather worm Paul rides for his final test is 2500m long (2.5km/1.553 miles) and 200m in diameter.
In the book, clearly stated that this worm is the biggest ever someone called. As written! ;)
1000 miles? Tf
@@huh-xz6by forgot the . Hahaha
@@huh-xz6by Not 1000 ITS 1.000, he meant one and a half mile
The attack with the nukes wasn't a warning shot. Paul blew a hole in the mountain range called the "shield wall" to let the storm and the worms in.
One comment I hear a lot is in that scene where the Harkonnen soldier says “No shields!” is that people say “Why??” It’s mentioned in the first part that shields drive the worms into a killing frenzy. That’s why they can’t use shields on the ground (air ships are ok).
Plus the whole nuclear detonation thing because they're being hit with laser weapons, considering they're on a raised plinth away from the sand.
@@Samsonfsthey are being sniped by Fremen wrist darts. Lasers in Dune make a distinct line of fire and they wouldn't be looking around for the source...
@@LordVolkov but why would they say no shields because of the worms if they are very clearly high above the surface, in the wide shot it looks like they're getting hit with lasers, and you see the fremen deploy them on the harvester attack. But I suppose the shot could show that's the soldiers firing blindly into the desert.
@@Samsonfs Rock conducts vibration and shields will still summon a worm on a rock, perhaps even moreso. We've seen worms rise out of the sand when angry (the consumption of the spice harvester in pt1), have enough suction power to nearly pull down an ornithopter, and some worms are hundreds of meters long. How tall do you think that rock was?
@@LordVolkov I'm talking in both movie making and in world logic, it just doesn't make sense to have that line mean it's because of the worms imo, and the rock is quite tall 😂 either A. They're getting shot by lasers or B. They don't know if they are or not so the guy says "no shields" just in case, in the wide shot you can see a laser potentially going past them which to me implies the fremen are just using the same weapons as the harkonnen are in the scene.
16:50 Rabban's whip is made from a creeping plant named inkvine. It is EXTREMELY painful, and leaves behind a purple scar. Gurney Halleck has an inkvine scar from Rabban's whip.
The wound never stops hurting too. That’s why Gurney rarely smiles.
I absolutely adore any media that combines medieval elements with science fiction (like Final Fantasy or Warhammer 40k) and the Dune books were a masterful fusion of the two. I’ve never seen another author do a better job of justifying sword combat in a world where machine guns and laser weapons are also ubiquitous.
Austin Butler killed it as Feyd, he really scared me as this character, when I saw the behind the scenes, the actors who played The Baron, Rabban, and Feyd are the nicest people.
Such a brilliant and scary Feyd! Butler’s portrayal of Feyd is sublime. His Feyd sends chills down your spine because of Butler’s great master work
He doesn't show up until about halfway through the film, and even then he doesn't have a lot of screentime. Yet he commands our attention every single second he's on screen, truly exceptional performance in a film that's full of them
It is a tiny detail, but I really like that the production added the liquifaction shots to illustrate how the Shai Hulud move through sand
Wait what shot? So confused
Sand vibrations which make it behave like a liquid
@@bawzzzz
He warned her that if he went to the South that he could lose her and when it was insisted that he goes south he said that he would do what had to be done. Which meant drinking the water of Life. and then he saw the pathway to salvation or Paradise and there was one course of action which was taking the hand of The emperor's daughter and then leading arrakis against the great houses. So he meant he would love her to his dieing breath.
"Ancient, yet futuristic", "beautiful melancholy" - I like these descriptions!
As bad as things may seem at the end, Paul saw all the possible futures and decided this was the least terrible path for them. As for a sequel the director said he wants a few years for the characters to age up as there is a bit of a time skip in the story.
I’ve now seen Dune: Part Two multiple times; 3 times in 70mm 15perf IMAX & 5 times on UHD blu ray….& it just keeps getting better. Words can’t even begin to describe just how stunning it was in IMAX.
Even as a long time fan of the novel; which I first read back in the 80s, every aspect of this film is beyond what I expected. Even the little changes between the novel & the film didn’t bother me; Alia is not only born & but is responsible for killing the Baron in the novel.
To answer your question about Alia & her knowledge. When Jessica transmuted The Water of Life she inherited all the knowledge & memories of every single Reverend Mother before her; Alia also inherited & this is known as ‘Abomination’.
The eclipse looks so good at the start, because they actually managed to film a real eclipse; that part of the shoot was scheduled to allow for it to be filmed.
Regarding the volume of water in Seitch Tabir (& correct me if my maths is wrong).
A 70kg human holds approximately 42 litres of water.
42 litres = 42’000 millilitres
1 decilitre = 100 millilitres
Therefore 38 million decilitre would equal water from approximately 9.5 million people
Villeneuve’s adaptation of Dune: Messiah is going to be something very special & we’re going to have one of the; if not the finest trilogy ever!!
22:30 Using atomic weapons in the Duniverse is a little complicated.
There is the Great Convrention that limits warfare. It is an ancient treaty that the Great Houses, Spacing Guild, and Emperor signed.
One of the more important parts in the Great Convention is that the penalty for using atomic weapons against humans is planetary obliteration.
Since atomics aren't exactly stealth weapons, no one wants to risk the punishment.
25:04 As far as I'm aware, the Dune universe is purely sci-fi, not fantasy. Given that, my theory is that the so-called "djinn" originates from hallucinations which would be more common amongst those wandering the desert whether from dehydration or from ingesting spice-seasoned food.
Jin are real spirits in Islamic belief
@@pseudonymousbeing987”Real.”
@@Gunnar001
Yes in Islamic belief. I'm responding to someone saying it's just human hallucinations. But that's not what the Fremen, or real ancient people, believed. I don't think it's real, but I'm clarifying.
*V puts on headscarf*
“We are now Dune” LMAOOOO
32:47 it does seem silly to have a color or flag bearer but think back to the American Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, our Civil War; the flag bearers were necessary to show the commanders where their units were on the battlefield. In the case of the Battle of Arrakeen it shows us where the frontline is. Gurney Haleck is the tip of the spear and it’s awesome
Having battle standards goes all the way back to Ancient Rome.
Not just colonial times... Battle standards evolved independently in chinese, japanese, indian, and european cultures (at least, maybe more). Almost anywhere an organized melee formation was prevalent in battle, flags would be part of the formations.
Paul could fart and and Stilgar would yell "LISAN AL-GAIB"
31:10 They bomb the mountain away, to let the worms in. BTW: it is forbidden to use atomics against humans, that's why he blast only the mountains, and only threaten to blast the spice, not the ships!
Paul: "May thy knife chip and shatter."
Feyd: "no u"
The unborn child talking to Jessica, sister of Paul, born with all the power of a reverend mother Bene Gesserit, is Saint Alia of the knife, very important for next movie(s)....
Dune 2 is a visual and auditory masterpiece. I saw it twice in theaters, the second time in IMAX. Worth it!
Paul is definitely not a hero in this. More of an anti-hero. Unfortunately, the only way for the fremen and Atreides to survive is to follow the path that Paul laid out. The Holy War kills loads of people. But that's not all on Paul. The Harkkonen, the emperor, and the houses all bear responsibility. Once the Houses learned that the Emperor was responsible for the death of Leto Atreides and his men, they should have recognized Paul's ascendency.
Aside from missing the theater experience you don't get the worm head popcorn bucket. But you may have another chance with the coming Dead Pool movie. They may be releasing their version of the popcorn bucket. Just remember it's Dead Pool. Their popcorn bucket will be more . . . interesting.
@33:40 remember, this is a Feudal system similar to the way Europe was until WWI. Jessica was not Leto's wife as marriage had to be reserved for a noble born spouse. Paul taking Irulan in marriage was so Paul could take the throne. In the book, this is explained in more detail (I won't give the spoilers, you'll have to read the book).
One of my favorite things about this movie (among many, many things), is how EVERY SINGLE CUT feels like it was made at the right time, and to the right subject. It never losing focus on what's the most important thing to show. When the Reverend Mother whispers "abomination", cut to Lady Jessica. When Paul mentions his father's ducal signet, cut to Gurney. And when Gurney announces that the great houses have answered, cut to Paul's somber reaction -- my favorite shot in the whole movie. At that moment he's powerless to stop what's coming and we stay with him until he says, as if stating something obvious to himself, "Lead them to paradise." That one shot of Paul's face is the most devastating moment for me. So simple, so minimal, and yet it carries the weight of the billions of deaths that will come in the Holy War. And Paul, with all his power, is unable to control his own fate. While Chani, betrayed and cast aside by her own people, is so strong willed and faithful to her people that at the end of it all, she does not shed a single tear for Paul, for that would waste water.
Some details regarding the baron:
My memory of reading the books is spotty but:
- He is as heavy as he is because a Bene Gesserit tried to poison him in his youth, which screwed up his Thyroid gland.
- His "appendages" are what keep him healthy and alive after Leto's poison attack. The shield saved him from the worst, but he still has permanent damages from it.
Correct. Only 'in his youth' was around 30 years before this which makes him about 50. In the current year of the Battle for Dune he is over 80
it's the way paul was like "i'll love you as long as i breathe" but couldn't take another few seconds to be like "btw i gotta propose for political reasons" and instead blindsided chani alongside everyone else for me
At this point, it is safe to read the first novel (Dune).
Make sure to read the appendices at the back of the book, along with "The Terminology of the Imperium". Then rewatch parts 1 and 2.
Some alterations were made for the film. The next film will cover the 2nd book, Dune Messiah.
When the worm comes for Paul to ride, that had to be one of the best scenes in the theatre. The whole place shook.
“Paul should not have gone down this path” there is no other path that does not lead to all of them dying. Remember, he said “there is a narrow way through”, the only way. He DOES LOVE Chani, but in order to do what must be done, as he told her, he must do this. There is no other way.
It's 100% worth seeing in theatres. There are many movies that do not need to be seen on the big screen, but this one is even better in the theaters - for both visuals and sound.
21:30
Guerney plays the title music from the 1992 computer game Dune 1 as a smuggler.
All of the other great houses would have %100 completely and totally condemned and probably also declared war on Paul and the Fremen if they had used the atomics on the Emperor and/or his forces directly, and it would have been extremely dishonorable..
Instead he used them to destroy the mountains, basically just blowing up something he's supposed to be officially in control of being the actual Duke..
3:33 no shields in the desert. if you remember Paul aksing Dr Kynes in ornithopter, while visitng spice fields about shields in the desert... answer was: "it drives the worms into a killing frenzy".
Frank Herbert wrote 6 Dune books, and these 2 parts were only the first one. Part 3 will cover the 2nd book Dune Messiah. Children of Dune and Emperor-God of Dune are good reads. I don't care very much for the last 2, which were supposed to be a trilogy, but Herbert died before completing it. His son Brian took over the series, but not many people recommend reading his take of the franchise.
IMAX, in theaters, was a transportational experience. I felt whisked away to another world. I loved it.
In Paul’s visions, they knew they called him Muah Dib, but he was trying to not follow the vision, and so when he brought up the mouse name it was a shock to him when he was playing into the visions.
33:08 Canonically, Gurney Hallack is one of the best swordsmen in the galaxy and Rabban is an incompetent oaf as we've seen. It makes sense that Gurney made short work of Rabban.
I am not mad at people for watching this after the film has finished showing. I really wish you guys could have had the cinematic experience of this film because it was incredible.
the birds they burn are dune's version of carrier pigeons, the fremen use them to send messages, so its not just cruelty when the harkonens burn them
Has anyone told her yet that Dune 1 and 2 were the events of just the first book - there are six books. Source material is INSANE :)
A lot of people are surprised at Paul's actions in the end (especially taking the emperor's daughter as a bride), but Paul *tried* so hard to avoid this path. He struggled against it, did everything he could to avoid it, but in the end was forced onto it. He tells Chani "Then I will do what must be done." It's not what he wants to do, it's what he has to do.
"That man should not be in power"
Someone missed the whole ethos of the Harkonnens. They rule by fear. Terrifying their subjects with the threat of extreme violence ensures no rebellion.
Glad I saw this comment. She obviously isn't that familiar with this story and misses many central tenets so I think I'm going to skip watching this reaction. I'd rather watch a reaction from someone who is fully invested in the story.
One thing the movies consistently can't capture is not only how badass the Saudarkar are supposed to be (and therefore how big of a deal it is that the Fremen can kill them), but Paul's thoughts as to what his prescience is like. A moment where this really gets in the way is when he's settling into the duel with Feyd-Rautha. He realizes not only that he's lost Stilgar as a friend and gained a disciple, but the outcome of the duel doesn't matter; if he wins, the Fremen see him as the Messiah and spread his worship across the galaxy at swordpoint killing billions, but if he dies the Fremen will see him as a martyr and do the same. He's trapped in the narrow path, and this requires some very unsavory things that he spend the first movie and the first half of this movie trying in vain to avoid. This is why Part II did more (and Part III, Dune Messiah, will do even more) to communicate that Paul is not the hero and that hero worship is bad.
No shield : fact in the book, if a laser beam is in contact with a shield, that's an atomic explosion ! the shield remains an unstable force field. It is better to use swords and knifes or kinetic projectile guns, as the maula pistol (poison dart gun).
It’s not a trilogy. There are possibly the fourth movie because the director said that the third is not the last one.
Sand worms are very useful to take out the garbage... thats the best form of recycling
that eclipse looks so out of this world and it is fascinating it was actually a real eclipse they filmed. it does give the feeling you are on a different planet. excited for the third movie.
Well it was filmed in Budapest, Italy, Jordan, and Abu Dhabi. Most of he dunes you see are in Abu Dhabi. Should check it out, its beautiful! Minus the sand worms.
Paul's mother said to Chani (I can't remember the exact words) "While being the concubines to powerful men, history will record us as their true wives'. In the books Paul told Chani what he was going to do , why & that the princess will never share his bed & Chani accepted it so the movie diverted from the book so it will be interesting to see how the next movie handles the fact that Chani & Paul have children.
Fun Fact: Reverend Mother Helen Mohiam is Jessica's mother and Helen is aware of it the entire time. She arranged to have sex with the Baron to secure the bloodline between Atreides and Harkonnen. Jessica was meant to have a girl who would marry Feyd and "seal the breach" between the two Houses. Their child was supposed to be the Kwisatz Haderach, but Jessica gave birth to Paul instead and screwed up the genetic time-line, causing Paul to only be a partial KH. His son, Leto II would become a real KH later on.
Which goes sooo well. :)
A great experience in the cinemas.
Speaking of which, I highly urge you to check out the film that inspired this: LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962). Make sure you watch it on the largest possible monitor/screen too.
The laugh Channi does after taking out the copter gets me all the time
The worms eat a form of plankton in the sand similar to whales.
There's so much of the worm biology & life cycle that's important to Dune and left out of most versions.
They did such a great job on this first dune book, and even though the 84 version was also great, they had to really mess around with the wierding way, and make it technical rather than mental. Wonder when we can expect the next book. Will be interesting.
28:20 “Is he Scottish?”
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Don't know, if anyone mentioned it yet, but in terms of lore, the movies leave so much unmentioned. No spacing guild, no CHOAM, the list goes on. Hell, even Alia is still unborn. From a filmmakers' perspective, it was necessary to cut things from the book and I'm not complaining (much) and I really enjoy the 2 movies.
Paul: *Breathes*
No one:
Stilgar: LISAN AL GAIB!!!!!!!
A generational sci-fi. Denis has done the impossible.
Glad someone said it. These movies are a sublime achievement especially in the modern era where formulas and profits rule the roost. I'm still mystified by the amount of hate new Dune gets. I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in a long time. The haters try to trash it but never name another sci fi movie that's better.
Watching this in the theater was an amazing experience ❤
Btw, he saw this was the only way to survive. Nobody said it was painless
I can't wait until 5 movies from now and the iconic Dune line, "Would you still love me if I was a worm?" Leto II.
Bene Gesserit leader Gaius Helen Mohiam is Jessica's mother and her teacher. Jessica, the mother of Paul Atreides, is the daughter of the Bene Gesserit leader and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. The Baron also has Gaius Helen Mohiam to thank for his illness, which condemns him to obesity. He should not have any more children.
You failed to realize that the author's message is do not trust and follow those blindly who claim to be good. Paul's father was weak because he allowed his heart to rule his decissions causing his house to fall. Channi supports his decission in the books, and only in the movie does she play the nay sayer. The books are a lot better at telling the story.
the prophecy isn't real Paul just uses it, his power being the Kwisatz Haderach is real however.
Lisan al- Gaib means "Voice from the Outer World".
And the reason for no shields is it drives the worms into a frenzy, although I think they would have been safe on top of that cliff.
Also they have las weapons, and if you hit a shield with a las weapon it causes a nuclear explosion
There were 6 books in the original series written by Frank Herbert between 1965 and 1985. Dune part 1 and Dune part 2 here are the story from the first book. I would love to see them make ALL 6 books into movies.
Back in... the mid 1980's was the first Dune movie which covered the entire first book. Then in the early 2000's there was a Dune TV 3 episode mini-series that covered the first 3 books. There is another new Dune TV series ... or mini-series, I'm not sure which.. that will be coming out later this year.
Now, as for other books... there have been about another 25 or so books written since the original 6. These new books were written by the original author's son Brian Herbert and by another author, Kevin J. Anderson. They co-wrote the books together
This was probably the best imax experience I've ever had ngl. Hopefully they'll do a re-run of it at some point
Paul is effectively the main villian in the movies and books. Basically at the end when Paul says we’re Haarkonens he becomes one, but worse. So much in fact in his infinite knowledge he receives that he decides to become a psychotic genocidal religious figure based on lies, responsible for 60 billion deaths in the next book. The main point of Frank Herbert’s Dune is to be wary of charismatic leaders and relgious fundamentalism.
6:15 This film does not do justice to Jamis' funeral. It is one of the best best parts in the novel.
2:08 Dune P2 really starting like _Up_ with the floating house that is Baron Vladimir Harkonnen
And when you watch it again.. Look closely when he awake again after drinking the Worm posion.
He said the enemys are around us... but there is ONE way..
And remember... He said "i will love you with every breath forever" or something like this... so He love chani And He hate to merry the other girl.. but He has to.
And if He didnt said this to chani, she had killed this girl in sexonds xD
The reaction of modern porridges to this masterpiece is priceless
6 books in the Dune saga from Frank herbert, these movies are only the first book. But there are 16 more books from his son Brain Herbert (and Kevin J. Anderson)
Second comment. Iirc, Paul deliberately didn't hit the emperor's forces with the atomics because he was worried about using them in defiance of treaties. So he blew up the mountains so the worms could attack.
And the great houses took exception to that.
As always, great reaction from you. There is no denying that this film watched in IMAX is a completely different experience. It's like going on vacation to Hawaii. However, watching this film at home, in front of a computer monitor, it is like seeing Hawaii only on a postcard. Greetings from Poland.
"Your mothers warned you oh my coming! Fear the moment!" is such a hard line.
Dune is a Master class in Modern Film making!
Paul loves Channi - but survival requires a political marriage between the Emperors daughter and Paul's House - so in the book Channi was Paul's soulmate but classed in their political system as a concubine - basically the same as Paul's mother to his father. Paul is telling Channi honestly he only loves her and will be the father to their children - but he has to be married - at least in name to Princess Irulain.
In iMax, that "Silence!" hit through my chest like thunder.
Glossu "The Beast" Raban Harkonnen was put in charge because he is the ruthless nephew of Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. Baron Harkonnen does not trust anyone but immediate family where his business is concerned. He would not go to Arrakis as it is much too inhospitable to him. But sending his nephews...no problem. 😮
It's a more intricate plan in the book - Rabban terrorizes the Fremen and Feyd comes in later as their benevolent savior (basically what Leto was doing)
Hot take: Chani is probably the only one who has any common sense by the end, because Paul kinda believes in his own legend. He's become a bit of a dangerous fanatacist, and I'm sure we'll inevitably see the consequences of that in the next film, and that was kind of a theme in the books, about how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Paul, from a certain point of view, becomes the villain of his own story.
He didn't pledge love to the daughter of the emperor, just a political union. Also, Chani joins him early on in the books, and in these movies his visions show her with him, so eventually she'll come back to him.
8:57 I may be wrong but jinn or djinn may be where the word genie comes from.
In the books, the blue eye color is even more pronounced. Spice addiction leads to the *entire* eye being a deep blue. No difference between sclera, iris, and pupil. Just an uncanny, alien, uniform color. I get why no adaptation has ever gone that far, though, as you lose some of the impact of your actors' performances if you entirely blank out their eyes.
one of the main reasons he didn't use the nukes on the sadukar, apart from needing the emperor alive, is The Great Convention if you use nuclear weapons against a human population every house will turn up and glass your home world. so paul has to thread a needle through the legal system when using them here.
I think we might never see a third part. At least not from the same director. He said he would very likely not do 3 movies. Just the two. I realy hope he will be doing "Children of Dune" too but who knows.
As for Chani, yes that is a move for power. Something we did here on earth too. Very often marriages where done for power or to keep the peace.
He was also basicly forced to do this but its not shown in the movie. Maybe we get it in the next one.
Dune parts 1 & 2 are just the first book. Dune part 3 should cover the second book. Dune as a book series is monsterous covering 6 books in total. my wish is that they would cover all the books in additional movies but I understans that to be a pipe dream.
Paul sure looks possessed to me. Maybe a desert djinn _did_ creep into him.

scenes on Giedi Prime were filmed in Infrared spectrum hence "monochrome".
That Jak 2 reference was perfect!
