    Man, I was literally thinking the other day how great it was that they’ve given Giedi Prime this weird black & white sun because it means the Harkonnens have been shaped by their environment in the same way the Fremen and Sardaukar are in the book. And here Denis is saying that was exactly his motivation, to follow the book’s theme of environments shaping populations. The guy understands the source material so well.

      Yeah I actually don’t mind him changing details like the Harkonnens being red-haired to being bald, or Mapes or Thufir being different. I think it wouldve had to be a miniseries to have more of the small details

      I'm so happy for him. He always made great movies. But maybe was a little bit under the radar. And sadly a great movie like Blade Runner 2049 was a box office flop or even Dune 1 wasn't this big success released in Corona times with simultaneous HBO Max release. It were difficult times for him. But now everybody must acknowledge him and nobody can deny him his praise. Yet he is so humble and deserves being praised by everybody. Often times it's annoying when people in the spotlight are celebrated too much. But with him it's different, he deserves everything and I'm really glad for him.

    I can't believe nobody has picked up on this yet so I will say it here. The scene shot from above as Paul moves through the huge crowd of Freman is a visual reference to him being the Kwisatz Haderach. In Dune part 1 Mohiam says "Like sifting sand through a screen we sift people". The scene from above resembles grains of sand with Paul sifting through them and being separate because he is the Kwisatz Haderach that the Bene Gesserit have been working towards all those years.

    I made it through Dune Part 1 last night. It only took me two weeks lol. Disclaimer: I never read the book, so I came in with no bias. The visuals were good. The guy who played Paul who I think was Timothee Chalarmet was the weakest actor by far. His mother was a good actress. The Harkonens were good. If I had paid money in the theater to see Dune Part 1 I would have been mad. I hear Part 2 is far superior to part 1 because they brought in some strong actors. Hopefully the guy who played Paul has developed as an actor because he was pretty bad. Again, I didn't read the book. I think those who read the book love the movie and perhaps overlook things that someone who didn't might pick up on and vice versa.
