The final scene of the 1984 movie Dune, when Paul Atreides becomes the Kwisatz-Haderach or Hand of God, and makes it rain upon the desert planet Arakis.
There was no peace for the fremen. Being under oppression and constant theft of their resources is not peace. Aswell as resisting and fighting those oppressors, there was war. Only on Arrakis. There will be peace for the world one day. Maybe not europeans
The best interpretation I've read is that Paul made it rain as a demonstration of his power to destroy the worms but only made it rain on that one area...preserving the worms.

In the books they set aside regions for the worms. It's not the entire planet that's transformed. The rain is one of the great scenes from Lynch's version that needs to go back in Alternative Edition Redux.
Honestly even after reading the books I still love this film. Seen the various cuts and director cuts that get close to Lynch vision, he did great job with the film in the circumstances. It really for me captured the terror of a messiah and being on the wrong side of a messiah wrath and powers along with costumes and sets are so gorgeous. The only thing outdated was some of the SFX but god some of the sets and costumes are so gorgeous. I am also pretty sure it David Lynch is take on The Greatest Story Ever Told film. Due to core cast from that in this and the beats. This film really impacted me and certainly still one of my favourite films.
It's also clear to me that he spent a decent amount of time in the Middle East. Paul seems like he's a mixed between the Prophet Mohammed and the awaited Mahdi that many Muslims are waiting for. And they mention things like Jihad. And one of the characters is named Farrokh, which is also Freddie Mercury's original name, though he was a Zoroastrian. And of course they mention things like Jihad. And the prophet was trying to equitable for his time and unite the desert tribes. And the people who joined him were similar to the people of Medina who joined the Meccans and augmented their army. It is all very clever, and the spice is replacing oil, obviously. Instead of him threatening to destroy oil supplies, it's some spice kind of like how spices were important in the Middle East centuries ago.
Totally agree, I’ve never understood the criticism this film got, loved it when it came out, love it now. Can’t wait to see the remake next week. Edit: I saw Denis Villeneuves remake earlier this week and it was amazing as well. Definitely need to see it at the Cinema though as the visuals and soundtrack are incredible.
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS ... The Islamic references were already in the Dune novel. Frank Herbert had Islamic & Semitic friends so he probably got those ideas from them to write his Dune, starting in the late 1950's. David Lynch only used those words & references because they were already part of Dune. I don't think he ever visited the Middle East. Frank was also on set, helping Lynch & the screenwriters with the script along the way.
I loved the movie and I loved the books, but one thing I didn't like in Lynch's movie is how they came at the subject of Paul's Jihad (My name is a killing word) but didn't finish the job. Part of the tragedy and danger of his awakening was that no matter which way he looked into the flow of time, his actions would unleash a holy war that would burn across the universe in his name.
And so ended the Spice trade on Arakis. Hence forth those who desired spice would be forced to rely on roguish smugglers willing to make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs to provide them with their precious spicy fix
I am very fond of this version of Dune. It had its flaws, but it did a good job of projecting the religious overtones of the book. It had that touch of Cecil B De Mille's The Ten Commandments to it.
He only made it rain in Arrakeen as a demonstration of his power to destroy the spice, should he so wish, as a very effective threat to the emperor...effectively "MY empire, or none at all!"
The theme of the novels, and by extension this movie, is that once you rip individual thinking out of society (computers, inventors, etc) and revert to a feudalistic system, humanity is doomed to regress back to barbarism. The ending is exactly what it needed to be - a warning of slavishly following mystical dictators and the folly of evading individual rights. Also, the galactic civilization came to a screeching halt way before the movie started. A galactic feudalism is death.
As a representative of the sandworm people, I must say that we completely disassociate ourselves from a movie production that is unable to represent our planet, our culture, and ultimately tries to sweep the sand under the carpet. A carpet that is clearly too small for the task. A Spice Girls concert would be a better option for a Saturday night.
@@gamerstheater1187 We have two options. A) The mind. Even without the spice we are able to manipulate less developed brains or simple office appliances. B) Our intestinal peristalsis. Through the latter we can even solve a superflip cube in less than 30 seconds. WE.DON'T.NEED.YOUR.HAND
As wild as the entire Dune saga is, you can't deny how hype it'd be to see firsthand The Chosen One was your boi all along. In the words of Shadout Mapes, "My lady... when one has lived with prophecy for so long, the moment of revelation is a shock."
Frank Herbert: Writes Dune with the core message of not putting all your faith in charismatic leaders and that no messiah is true. David Lynch: "soo let's give him weather control powers lol"
The whole point is that the movie lies to you. You see a message talking about peace in the background while you literally see Feyd's fresh corpse in the ground lmao
Paul (and family) do actually completely change the face of Arrakis and make the desert bloom, which is both what the Fremen always dreamed of and their undoing as a people. I don't think it's a problem that 1984-Dune condenses this idea to about 30 seconds at the end of the movie (especially if they were pretty sure no Dune Messiah movie would be hitting theaters anytime soon).

The rain scene is absolutely terrible and wasn't part of Lynch's original vision for the film. I wonder what brainless studio moron thought this was a good idea.
@@Ddon98801 I never watched this movie in its entirety and I only remember bits and pieces of that, but what I do know it in the recent films, Paul does become Fremen.
Actually a great film adaptation of an immensely influential work of science fiction. If a bit disjointed and choppy in spots, they did an admirable job with incredibly intricate and complex material. The film, however, admittedly makes the mistake of assuming far too much of a knowledge base on the part of the viewer. If you've read and absorbed the novels, you know exactly what is going on, even with the unavoidable gaps forced by the constraints of squeezing an encompassing epic into a two and a half hour film. To the uninitiated, it was a muddled and unintelligible mess, and many who saw the movie simply had no idea what in the living hell was going on at any point. This l have to admit was understandable, as much as l love the source material and appreciate the film.
When I saw this in the theater at initial release, they handed out cheat sheets (from the filmmakers) with names, houses, and definitions of commonly used terms to help make sense of things to first timers. Wish I had had the good sense to hold onto mine.
The Fremen have the catchbasins of water waiting to terraform and stuff. But they are careful not to kill off the worms with it. Saving it at the Arrakis Dime Water Debt Savings Bank for the right day.....
That much rainfall on that terrain would be devastating. The time to saturation would be so short that floods would drown a lot of the people that can't swim or don't have boats or can't reach higher ground
Rain in one area of the planet wouldn't kill all of the worms on Dune. I don't think its assumed that its raining everywhere on the planet. Even in the latter books something like 80% of the planet becomes green while the worms still exist in 20%.
I just finished the Spice Diver Edition fan edit of Dune (on UA-cam) and I found it to have the best narrative of any version of the movie I've ever seen, and it doesn't change the book by raining at the end, which would kill the sand worms. That version I can safely recommend to anyone without fear of letting them down with a seriously flawed movie...I can finally call the movie a masterpiece... AND it's right here on UA-cam!
I have yet to see the Spice Diver version nor the new 2021 version, but how would the Diver version compare to the Villeneuve 2021 version? I had read the Dune novel in 1983 so I knew what was going on when I saw the movie in 1984.
@@robwebnoid5763 Believe it or not, the Spicediver version holds up very well to the new movie. Thufir and Gurney are given less time in the new movie and then just disappear (but new Duncan is better), and so far no guild navigators. Also, Spicediver gives Paul and his father more time together, hence a deeper relationship. Leto actually lives past 90 minutes into it.

Of course the new version is FANTASTIC. But Lynch told the story in 2 hours, and I still love it, and all of its quirkiness. "Put the pick in there pete. Turn it round really neat!"
@@polemerosPC because they had too many women for you? I wouldn't even say it's boring, even if you don't like it, it's hard to call it boring. And CGI isn't automatically bad, and it's used well in the movies (hell, the novels portray and removal of societal growth like computers as a bad thing, so it's not like it's going against Frank's wishes by having computers involved in making an adaptation).
Knowing the lore of the sandworm, I just realize that last scene is paul massacring the entire population of sandworm in Arrakis - essentially dooming the universe.
I must of seen this movie no less than 20 times... Still at 46 yo, my favorite Scifi movie of all times. The ending here always gives my brain and body Chills. When he Broke open FEYD body, I cant get over how his own mother Looked Terrified!❤️ Like God, "What have I BIRTHED. " But at the same time standing there with a look of the NEW Universe Royal. And when Alia looks up at him before he makes it rain❤️❤️❤️ No movie in the world strikes up so many emotions like this one!
I know the sonic stuff was all Lynch but fuck it...yelling at Sting and causing him to crack him and the floor open like an egg is EPIC. “Usul no longer needs the weirding module” is one of my favorite lines as well.
@@skanalakaa140Well, apart from the fact that they just killed all the worms by making it rain on Arrakis, and the film completely missing the point of the book by making Paul a good guy.
Frank Herbert: wanted to show the dangers of fanaticism and warn against worshipping charismatic leaders. David Lynch: “One cannot go against the word of God!”
Zack Snyder: this guy ubderstand me. Gods deserve respect! In my dune Paul would have beeig the messiah too with slow mo and lens flares in the back ground.
My friend used to tell me that he swore at the end they called him, and I quote,”the shit sack hat rack”. I eventually went back for a watch to find that obviously was not the case, the world was a little darker that day, hell, a little quieter even, and I was really saddened.
@@Zodroo_TintYou see, the fact that Paul's big messiac term is bunch of nonsense words that sound closer to an insult is an intentional choice by Frank Herbert to further the critique og messianic figures, to show how religious organizations have so much power, they can make the name of a religious figure "shit sack hat rack" and no-one will bat an eye, and will still worship him. But deadass, iirc, it was a Hebrew term.

@@Ddon98801 I never watched this movie in its entirety and I only remember bits and pieces of that, but what I do know it in the recent films, Paul does become Fremen.

my favorite movie I know almost all the words to every scene. The cheesiness makes it awesome
Actually a great film adaptation of an immensely influential work of science fiction. If a bit disjointed and choppy in spots, they did an admirable job with incredibly intricate and complex material. The film, however, admittedly makes the mistake of assuming far too much of a knowledge base on the part of the viewer. If you've read and absorbed the novels, you know exactly what is going on, even with the unavoidable gaps forced by the constraints of squeezing an encompassing epic into a two and a half hour film. To the uninitiated, it was a muddled and unintelligible mess, and many who saw the movie simply had no idea what in the living hell was going on at any point. This l have to admit was understandable, as much as l love the source material and appreciate the film.
When I saw this in the theater at initial release, they handed out cheat sheets (from the filmmakers) with names, houses, and definitions of commonly used terms to help make sense of things to first timers. Wish I had had the good sense to hold onto mine.
Yeah truly that should be worth something about now
Indeed! (..and, Well spoke, Frank..)
Yep, that's exactly right. It's essentially a movie for people who already know the story. As for everyone else, well, tough shit, I guess.
Cha'akh'sa is Fremen for tough shit lol
Sean Young was hot back in the days.
I was a bit traumatized when Pet Detective came out.
@@jrvasquez I'll just assume those were the worst case of hemorrhoids I have ever seen. LOL
Virginia Madsen also!
The Blade Runner Love scene is the height of her beauty. "Say kiss me".
She was a hot drunk back then too...get with her and a couple bottles of wine, you could have a party lol
The Fremen have the catchbasins of water waiting to terraform and stuff. But they are careful not to kill off the worms with it. Saving it at the Arrakis Dime Water Debt Savings Bank for the right day.....
That much rainfall on that terrain would be devastating. The time to saturation would be so short that floods would drown a lot of the people that can't swim or don't have boats or can't reach higher ground
Also the worms probably wouldn't love it
One of the best movies ever made.

Oh, god 🙄
No it is not. It's one of the worst.
Such a savage scene. I can kill with a word
"For he is the quiz arts hat rack!"
Rain in one area of the planet wouldn't kill all of the worms on Dune. I don't think its assumed that its raining everywhere on the planet. Even in the latter books something like 80% of the planet becomes green while the worms still exist in 20%.
I just finished the Spice Diver Edition fan edit of Dune (on UA-cam) and I found it to have the best narrative of any version of the movie I've ever seen, and it doesn't change the book by raining at the end, which would kill the sand worms. That version I can safely recommend to anyone without fear of letting them down with a seriously flawed movie...I can finally call the movie a masterpiece... AND it's right here on UA-cam!
I have yet to see the Spice Diver version nor the new 2021 version, but how would the Diver version compare to the Villeneuve 2021 version? I had read the Dune novel in 1983 so I knew what was going on when I saw the movie in 1984.
@@robwebnoid5763 Believe it or not, the Spicediver version holds up very well to the new movie. Thufir and Gurney are given less time in the new movie and then just disappear (but new Duncan is better), and so far no guild navigators. Also, Spicediver gives Paul and his father more time together, hence a deeper relationship. Leto actually lives past 90 minutes into it. Of course, things could change after part 2 and all the new character reveals (in a couple of years), but I'm definitely returning to Spicediver on a regular basis... And I do prefer the new Chani...

You know alot of people said this movie was shit but when It came out when I was a kid i loved it. I still do because it's part of a nostalgic memory for me.
Same hier
Same
Lynchs Dune is 40 years old legend, and we are still talking about it, last Dune is 1 year old and nobody give shit, comercial shit with aquaman
Just watched dune part 2. They fixed all this.
What’d they fix? Everything seemed more or less the same except for the little girl and Paul’s voice having more power.
No rain.
@@faisalmemon285 sorry I must’ve missed the part in Dune 2 when it magically fucking rains everywhere for no reason
This is the first movie I ever payed for and now it’s in my collection
"Where there was war, Muad'ib would bring peace"
*Cuts to Feyd slashed body
All that rain in the desert must of coused a lot of humidity.
The costumes and settings still stand the test of time and cgi.
I think Paul was a “Super Empath”. That killing blow with his words makes me think of the famous, “Empathic Supernova”.
Perhaps a more hopeful ending than the actual canon,...Dune 2 had a perfect ending that is FAR better than this.
I was so disappointed with the ending of Dune 2..
@@dafelz1 why? It’s more faithful. Dune isn’t about cheesy fairy tale happy endings

This sandworm went rolling home....
yea but just don't give the dog a boner
Of course the new version is FANTASTIC. But Lynch told the story in 2 hours, and I still love it, and all of its quirkiness. "Put the pick in there pete. Turn it round really neat!"
"Of course the new version is FANTASTIC." Why "of course?" It's PC and boring, dominated by computer graphics (ironicaly).
@@polemerosPC because they had too many women for you? I wouldn't even say it's boring, even if you don't like it, it's hard to call it boring. And CGI isn't automatically bad, and it's used well in the movies (hell, the novels portray and removal of societal growth like computers as a bad thing, so it's not like it's going against Frank's wishes by having computers involved in making an adaptation).
@@selinawalsh9075 "PC because they had too many women for you?" Another estrogenic narcissist victim.
@@polemeros Have you even watched the new adaptations? Another victim of red pill propaganda.
@@zzz7103 I have watched Part One. My response is my own. Your faulty assumptions show that YOU are the victim of another kind of propaganda.
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was the end of an SNL show where they all stand together with the host.
For He's the Quizno's Tater Snatch!
Believe me the commercials didn't do it justice. They taste great. But for some reason everytime I take a bite I hear eat at Paul's place.
That had to sting
This is one of my all time favorite movies…awesome
That's why I love to play Atreides on Dune 2000💙
That pompous ay hole Sting getting a crysknife thru the face, priceless.
Knowing the lore of the sandworm, I just realize that last scene is paul massacring the entire population of sandworm in Arrakis - essentially dooming the universe.
Parts of the planet ,will remain arid . Worms survive, yeah !
This is on my DVD collection list

"Why does everybody hates the original dune? Its a classic!"

How Love it this Part my friends. Is a Pity that In Dune: the Mini Series isn't Exist something like This. Thanks.
I must of seen this movie no less than 20 times... Still at 46 yo, my favorite Scifi movie of all times.
The ending here always gives my brain and body Chills.
When he Broke open FEYD body, I cant get over how his own mother Looked Terrified!❤️
Like God, "What have I BIRTHED. "
But at the same time standing there with a look of the NEW Universe Royal. And when Alia looks up at him before he makes it rain❤️❤️❤️
No movie in the world strikes up so many emotions like this one!
The Sleeper Must Awaken 😉
How the fuck did David Lynch manage to turn the ending of Dune into the ending of Ben-Hur?!?
And then all of the worms on Dune died and spice production ended cause water KILLS THEM.
tatum ergo They make the spice
Top 5 movies of all time
I know the sonic stuff was all Lynch but fuck it...yelling at Sting and causing him to crack him and the floor open like an egg is EPIC.
“Usul no longer needs the weirding module” is one of my favorite lines as well.
Very symbolic......utterly destroying evil. An intense ending to the struggle.
It's absolutely amazing, something about that scene moved me.
I know Herbert didn't spend much time thinking of naming it a weirding module.
It showed that the Harkonnens were well and truly broken.
I like the way Everett McGill says "Muad'Dib" at 0:16.
Bryce Corbin Muad'Dick!
LOL, the hits just keep on coming....

You looked this up after seeing Dune part 2? 😄
this version is quite better adaptation of a book
@@skanalakaa140Well, apart from the fact that they just killed all the worms by making it rain on Arrakis, and the film completely missing the point of the book by making Paul a good guy.
hahaha in rain issues you are certainly right@@theblah12
1:25 Love the crescendo here. Such an epic moment.
Costumes were exquisite
0:26 Dune Messiah would like to have some words about those statements.
For he is the Nikknakkpaddywhack !!!
At 0:02 to 0:05, if you listen closely you can hear Feyd’s last breathing after having the knife jammed up under his neck.
David lynch was a true visionary, unmatched.
Frank Herbert: wanted to show the dangers of fanaticism and warn against worshipping charismatic leaders.
David Lynch: “One cannot go against the word of God!”
Zack Snyder: this guy ubderstand me. Gods deserve respect! In my dune Paul would have beeig the messiah too with slow mo and lens flares in the back ground.

did ANYONE actually read this book, let alone the sequels, before they made this movie? Fuck.
"For he is the Cuisine Art spice rack!!"
r.i.p worms
My friend used to tell me that he swore at the end they called him, and I quote,”the shit sack hat rack”. I eventually went back for a watch to find that obviously was not the case, the world was a little darker that day, hell, a little quieter even, and I was really saddened.
This was the original intention of the author. The other thing doesn't make sense at all. Your friend was the only smart men of that century.
I think he said "Quips Most Hovercraft"
@@Zodroo_TintYou see, the fact that Paul's big messiac term is bunch of nonsense words that sound closer to an insult is an intentional choice by Frank Herbert to further the critique og messianic figures, to show how religious organizations have so much power, they can make the name of a religious figure "shit sack hat rack" and no-one will bat an eye, and will still worship him.
But deadass, iirc, it was a Hebrew term.
I stood on my feet and yelled out loud when Sting got killed !
oh sting, where is thy death?
He played a rat bastard harkonnen and did so very well I might add
I could let many things go, but the "My name is killing word" thing...never.
