This film is setup. Film 2 is payoff. It's easier to follow qua film, though deviates more from the book. This duology was a labour of love for Denis Villeneuve, the director (and for Hans Zimmer). Dune was for a long time considered unfilmable, due to the length and complexity.
@@CDMistReacts well specifically George was directly inspired by Dune to write Star Wars. He says it himself. Both episode 4 and also episode 2 and 3 rip and riff off so many elements directly out of Dune. The influence is bright as day. Not a diss on Star Wars, but Dune is called the grandfather of science fiction, alongside Isaac Asimov's foundation series.
You missed a lot, skipped right over it, not paying close attention, so you should read the book, then you will understand. I first read it about 40 years ago when I was a teenager. It is excellent.
You missed that the shields work on the basis of speed. So they protect against fast moving objects, by stopping them. This means guns are useless, and instead you need to use weapons that can be moved slowly and tactically through defenses to them kill. Hence fighting has regressed to more primitive swords. It's representative of the wider world building, Dune posits that in the far future humanity will not only progress, but also regress. The only way to have an interstellar civilisation is if it's a feudalistic empire. And also you thought the Sardukaur and Harkonnen are the same people . they're not. The Sardukaur had a military religious ritual where they drained the blood from people (who are failed recruits) lying on inverted crucifixes. They're the Emperor's military. The greatest known warriors in the imperium. The Harkonnen are completely separate, they're a different race of people. They're industrial, slave owning, super wealthy, greedy horrible people. Their strength is their numbers and their money, not their ability.
@pseudonymousbeing987 yes through editing I was able to catch my mistake and learn more about the shields, but I had no idea with the sardaukar and harkonnen info! I really thought they were the same, and with some research, they were helping each other in the raid at house atreides right? That's why ig i got confused.
Jamis was teaching Paul and helped him to understand the way of the desert.
@JackNapierDe yeah pretty much, paul was not willing to kill through fermen culture. Paul learned for sure lol
reading the books actually makes watching the movies so much better
I'll see if i can get around to the books!
@@CDMistReacts the audiobook was pretty good for me, I listened to a chapter to and from work!
I've done Timothee chalamet a injustice by calling him charlie puth. Im so sorry 😅

@@zoesumra9152 ah interesting! Thanks for the tidbit!
Read the books, son. You'll figure it out right quick. Or you won't.
Dune was written before Star Wars was even a thought in George Lucas' head.
@@BlackDeathThrash ohhh now that's some good tidbits!

@BlackDeathThrash any key details I missed and should know about? But yeah maybe I should, the books are usually better

@@pseudonymousbeing987 either way, loving the info! Thank you
On the other hand, Dune is quite a child of its time with its messages circling around ecology and sexuality. Spice is a metaphor for Oil.
