I just find it interesting how all of this is happening while Shaddam is chilling at his summer home on Kaitain. Like, he’s not even at his actual palace doing Emperor business. He’s just chilling with his daughter, avoiding the tension, obeying his shame and guilt.
Isn’t Kaitan their home/palace? I know Selusa Secundus is where they came from but the imperial family settled themselves in Kaitan because it’s nice while they turned Secundus into a military/prison planet.
@@CaptainJY01 Salusa Secondus was the home planet of the Corrinos and the original capital of the imperium but it was devasted by the family atomics of an unnamed house who tried to depose them, around 500 years before the events of Dune hence why they moved to Kaitain. This was one aspect of the otherwise flawless adaptions that I didn´t like. Kaitain in the books is described like Ancient Rome in its prime with buildings carved out of marble, crystal fountains and summer mediterreanean weather to boot. The film in its stead gave us a minimalist Austrain staycation villa with a couple of japanese tapestries thrown in for good measure. Pretty dissapointing
Bene Gesserit were always the real power. Bene Gesserit without power were either part of an experiment ( the Harkonnens) or an anomaly (Jessica during the Harkonnen attack, the previous Reverend Mother when Paul stood up to her).
Yup, that's the answer for the people who wondering why emperor allowed to give harkonen much more power than other, no matter how strong they where, the great house will never accept harkonen as ruler, but attreides is different, more than half of great house as attreides supporters so there very high chance attreides will dethroned corinos as news empire house
@@abdulcholik7789 That's not true, the Bene Gesserit's plan was to put a Harkonnen on the throne, since Feyd's son was supposed to Rule. The emperor was cucked the moment he didn't have a male heir. House Corrino was going to lose the throne regardless.
@@abdulcholik7789 Just one question, why didnt they accept house Harkonnen, theyre literally the biggest industrial power in the galaxy, only dwarved by CHOAM and the Guild. Giedi Prime was one singular factory, meanwhile Caladan looks more interesting for tourists.
His character is a dangerous person, danger is most horrific when it is silent...he gave an amazing performance and they used his presence well, we didnt see or heard him once in the first movie, but his actions talked enough, that to me is what true presence means
"You're talkin' to my guy all wrong. It's the wrong tone. Do it again, I'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron" - Emperor Shaddam Corrino the IV, in defense of Feyd Rautha
It's like the goose step. An absolutely ridiculous marching step that somehow became popular with authoritarian regimes, and nobody dares laughing about it. Fear the regime that makes ridiculous things serious.
My headcanon is borrowed from Haemonculi from Warhammer 40k universe, where they feel themselves so above the mere mortals, that they install themselves levitation devices, so they don't have to touch the dirt of the ground. Seeing how absurdly proud Harkonnens are, it would be quite fitting 😄 Of course, the version where it's simply Dune's answer to Ozempic is much more likely and probable 😅
One thing I never understood when reading the books and watching the movies. The Emperor was getting old, and knew his time was coming to an end. Thinking house Atreides may one day be a threat to him, why wouldn't he forge an alliance and want to embrace the idea of marrying his daughter to Paul, in order to ensure succession, rather than risk tyranny as a result of the Harkonnens gaining too much power? If you knew you had to find a successor to the throne through marriage of your daughter, why would he not consider an honorable house like Atreides and Paul from the get-go?
Shaddam loved Leto like a son, but his fear, pride, and jealousy had overwriten that. I think Baron Harkonnen had been whispering on Shaddam's ear, warning him of Leto's growing popularity, the strength of his House, and the threat it poses to the Corrino Dynasty. Plus Leto was probably too old to marry Irulan.
I think the emperor actually did love leto as a son but was also was worried about his popularity amongst the other houses I don't believe he would have done anything if that hooded old lady hadn't manipulated the Man some time's lack of action is the best coarse that way one wouldn't invite an action that would cost lives
Thats probably correct. To add: the emperor actually feared the Atreides usurping power, as they were well-liked and had the support of the Landsraad. Leto I was also training a small but elite fighting force that, if given more time, wouldve rivalled the Sardaukar. So, as the previous commenter said, the Emperor was already considering it, but Lady Mohiam convinced him.
You're describing something that is crucial to the plot but then slapping "I think" on it as if you independently came up with that theory on your own...
@@flytrapYTP Perhaps you misunderstand what I am saying here. He takes what the plot tells you TO YOUR FACE, then comes here acting as if it's something he cleverly deduced on his own.
Just a thought for fans to ponder: What if the weird, alien voice at the beginning of both films is actually Leto II? As he's peering backwards through time examining his fathers legacy?
The sequences with the human Embryo (here and again at the very end of the film where Jessica is talking to unborn Alia) are really jarring but in a good way. Gives perspective to the horrors that are taking place outside, and also how messed up what happened to Alia was in the end
To be fair, he still failed in so MANY ways to capture the book, from race swapping and gender swapping Emperial planetologist to the fundamental mystery of who Paul is.
@@ollietaro her…or should I say HIS character is super important in the books. Here, she is just another character that serves no purpose, the only real thing she does is die by a sandworm.
Jean Tatlock was really dissapointed with Oppenheimer if she had to travel half the universe to a whole new planet and assume a new identity as the daughter of padishah emperor Shaddam IV Corrino.
HOT TAKE: I think this is the best opening scene in the movies in this century. I love ir so much. Firstly, it's looks absolutely beatiful and very atmospheric. Insane shots. Insane soundtrack and amazing unique atsmosphere. It'a literally amazing scene for understanding this lore. Dramatic, epic, futurustic, complex and variety lore. Secondly, before Arrakis, how they perfectly showed the Emperor and his reaction to Leto's death, it was very accurate. Shaddam loved Leto as his son, but still he strove for power and therefore killed him, which was very painful for him as a man. Walken did amazing job. Same like Pugh. Just 2 minutes moment, but amazing adaptation
Some dude say "Stilgar is testing the Atreides or maybe trying to kill Jessica" My Guess he was right and the Atreides are safe in the Rock because all soldiers fly Up 😂
I think he is making Dune 3 and is difficult Weird sh1t happen he never explain the Navigators or the Bene Treilax And the plot with Chani looks bad I Hope he made 4 hours 😂
This was a great opening to Dune 2. Seeing Paul, Jessica and their Freemen allies eluding the Harkonnens. Good to see Christopher Walker and Florence Pugh as Shaddam IV and Irulan.
Reverend Mother Mohiam played on the Emperor's weaknesses to manipulate him - the standard Bene Gesserit control tactic. Shaddam was insecure, jealous, and fearful and that was used to overcome his love for Duke Leto. Remember - Leto never married Jessica specifically as a political ploy to remain "eligible" for potential marital alliances with one of the other houses. He never intended to go through with it and in the end regretted not marrying Jessica. Shaddam was manipulated with his own frailties into using house Harkonnen to eliminate the one house that truly would have supported him as Emperor. Duke Leto would never have broken faith with Shaddam, but Shaddam was corrupt and could not believe everyone else wasn't just as corrupt.
I saw part 1, a friend read the book and raved to me about it, I followed and was blown away. I was already a fan of Denis, which is what got me to watch part 1, and I had extremely high expectations for this movie. When I saw the Harkonnen bodies dropping from the sky around Paul and Jessica, I knew my expectations were going to be met. magical magical stuff. top 25 movie ever.
The Emperor really did loved Leto as a son, because the best possible scenario for his daughter is if she married Paul, combining the Houses Atreidis and Corrino, and yet he chose genocide. That or he really is just a puppet king for the Benne Gesserit
The most absurd thing in this absurd story is that the emperor would trust baron Harkonnen with anything. He will 100% be a problem for the emperor in the future with the power he has.
A known problem though. And one who could never potentially command many friends in the Landsraad. Atreides nobility and charisma made them far more a danger to the Imperial house than the Harkonnen could be. Also, something that isn't overtly stated but becomes clear through subtext is that beneath their brutality, the Harkonnen are cowardly.
If you've read the book, you should know it was implied things were not going too well between the Emperor and the Baron. The chapter with Count Fenring borderline threatening the Baron and the second-to-last one with the Emperor absolutely lashing out against him are the prime example. The Emperor definitely didn't trust the Harkonnens and would have been ready to give them the Atreides treatment at any time if it hadn't been for the possibility of the Baron exposing him
I love how they work so hard to establish the importance of the spice....and yet at the end of the movie they fk it right up with Leto threatening to nuke a single spice blow instead of using the Fremen's stored water end the cycle that creates worms who create spice...
@@SamuraiCop Spoken like someone who only knows Walken by less than half his portfolio, and appearances on SNL. In other words you have no idea what you are talking about. Sorry to put it bluntly, but that's precisely what it sounds like.
Good movie! If the screenwriters had the humility to stick to the novel and not make Chani Paul’s adversary, then it could have been a great movie! Had the casting director chosen someone a bit less cute and boyish for Paul, it could have been the one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever.
This movie is soooo good. But i feel sad because Marvel movies make lots of people become brain dead and no longer enjoy the artistic of a well-made movie, they just care about the action scenes and when that pass they go back checking their smartphone (yes that what happen ) and then when the film ends they complain the movie is shit and they cant understand anything
It seemed kind of a waste to have Walken in the role of the Emporer. He had very little screen time, and what there was of it, could have been played by anyone. Maybe some good stuff had to be left on the editing room floor, but the role was minor and not memorable at all.
As a OG Blue Blaze Irregular I would say that Buckaroo Banzai, for its day, was just as strange and difficult to understand as DUNE, because there was no source material to read before watching it.
Not gonna lie. When I first found out that Christopher Watkin was going to be the emperor, I was actually kind of annoyed not because he’s a bad actor far from it. He’s one of the best in his craft. But because I felt that being the emperor wasn’t really, a fitting character for him it wasn’t important enough. I felt that he probably should’ve been a much more powerful individual. Yes being the emperor of “the known universe“ may seem like they are extremely powerful. But we all know that the people or individuals with the real power in this universe Are the spacing guild. Aside from obviously the individuals undertaking the stewardship of Arakis. Again, don’t get me wrong. Christopher Walken is a great actor. And as I have already said, he’s one of the best. But again I just felt that the Emperor was almost like a disservice to him. But he pulled it off well.
at this point stilgar probably didn't want to believe paul was the messiah, so if they died to the patrol then that solves one problem, also to see if they could carry their weight (my interpretation)
I threw some spice at my girl and i told her thats one jumps worth for the guild. It took her a minute to get it and she ran to pick it up thinking the spacing guild would be mad. I will marry this woman
Hey, Paul, little man....this was your father's Ducal Signet ring...he'd be DAMNED if he'd let any Harkonnen get his spicy hands on your birthright....
But the Harkonnen attack didn't take everyone by surprise. Leto had an idea, the Harkonnens knew, the Sardaukar knew, the Emperor knew....the Bene Gesserit knew.
Leto expected something, but not that early. What more was the sudden betrayal by Yu Wei that nobody saw coming. Hence, it was a surprise 🤷♀️ We don't get the reactions of the other major Houses, but I'd assume they were rather surprised Atreides was just gone in a night
When Irulan says "everyone" it's understood to be the Houses Major and Minor and the general populace at large. It doesn't need to be clarified, because she's speaking as someone on the inside, not someone on the outside. Also, the context is from her writing memoirs after the fact. "In The House of My Father" is an in-universe memoir written by her.
I get it that they decided to use Alia as a pre-born more, but I don't think they should've hurry the story in order to fit it into few months. After all, controlling their bodies is what Bene Gesserit do by default, it is safe to assume that they can slow down the pregnancy rate until it is safe to bear a child. I mean, bearing children is their very modus operandi, one could accept they'd be really good at it

1800s British Empire: Damn straight
I was expecting the emperor to have that iconic Christopher Walken voice.
Chris, you are genius actor. Thakj you for your work
the game they are playing at 1:22 is called Cheops.
It seemed kind of a waste to have Walken in the role of the Emporer. He had very little screen time, and what there was of it, could have been played by anyone. Maybe some good stuff had to be left on the editing room floor, but the role was minor and not memorable at all.
Should have cast Charles Dance as the emperor.

It makes me so happy that they cast Christopher Walken as the space emperor 😂

2:09
Makes star wars look like buckaroo bonzai kids corner.
As a OG Blue Blaze Irregular I would say that Buckaroo Banzai, for its day, was just as strange and difficult to understand as DUNE, because there was no source material to read before watching it.
They are two completely different things.
Florence: “and the emperor said”
Me, in my mind: “nothing you idiots the emperors dead. (Haha)”
Not gonna lie. When I first found out that Christopher Watkin was going to be the emperor, I was actually kind of annoyed not because he’s a bad actor far from it. He’s one of the best in his craft. But because I felt that being the emperor wasn’t really, a fitting character for him it wasn’t important enough. I felt that he probably should’ve been a much more powerful individual. Yes being the emperor of “the known universe“ may seem like they are extremely powerful. But we all know that the people or individuals with the real power in this universe Are the spacing guild. Aside from obviously the individuals undertaking the stewardship of Arakis.
Again, don’t get me wrong. Christopher Walken is a great actor. And as I have already said, he’s one of the best. But again I just felt that the Emperor was almost like a disservice to him. But he pulled it off well.
And The Emperor Said...." I Said Arrakis needed more Cowbell!"
Anyone else notice the similarities between the opening of this movie, and the beginning of the VNV Nation song Electronaut (from 2002)?
Dill with this "Moo ah diwb"
4:05 why did he tell them to stay while the enemy is approaching ?
at this point stilgar probably didn't want to believe paul was the messiah, so if they died to the patrol then that solves one problem, also to see if they could carry their weight (my interpretation)
something else I just thought of was using the two of them as bait for the ambush
Yes I too loved reading Dune.
"spice is power over all" it's the zact same in the Scottish jail's 😂
This version surpassed a movie that surpassed movies !
I threw some spice at my girl and i told her thats one jumps worth for the guild.
It took her a minute to get it and she ran to pick it up thinking the spacing guild would be mad.
I will marry this woman
Man, even the clips are twice as long as other movies
It looks like it spells Dunce, which one would need to be to pay to see it.
Christopher Walken was also in the orginal 1984 Dune film lol
"and the emperor said................... " OH NO COUNTRY BEAR HALL HAS BEEN CRUSHED!"
Hey, Paul, little man....this was your father's Ducal Signet ring...he'd be DAMNED if he'd let any Harkonnen get his spicy hands on your birthright....
Empower doesn't seem as powerful as I expected him to be.
Without dubstep these sounds would not have been possible 😂
'You weak, pathetic, fool." Shao Kahn
But the Harkonnen attack didn't take everyone by surprise. Leto had an idea, the Harkonnens knew, the Sardaukar knew, the Emperor knew....the Bene Gesserit knew.
Leto expected something, but not that early. What more was the sudden betrayal by Yu Wei that nobody saw coming. Hence, it was a surprise 🤷♀️ We don't get the reactions of the other major Houses, but I'd assume they were rather surprised Atreides was just gone in a night
When Irulan says "everyone" it's understood to be the Houses Major and Minor and the general populace at large. It doesn't need to be clarified, because she's speaking as someone on the inside, not someone on the outside. Also, the context is from her writing memoirs after the fact. "In The House of My Father" is an in-universe memoir written by her.
I get it that they decided to use Alia as a pre-born more, but I don't think they should've hurry the story in order to fit it into few months. After all, controlling their bodies is what Bene Gesserit do by default, it is safe to assume that they can slow down the pregnancy rate until it is safe to bear a child. I mean, bearing children is their very modus operandi, one could accept they'd be really good at it
"The end of House Atreides" and the beginning of the galactic JIHAD. OOPS!
