    Great reaction. For someone with no background of the story and lore of DUNE, you picked up pretty much everything with ease. Some people have complained about this movie being slow, but there is a lot of worldbuilding and groundlaying that has to take place since it's such a big and complex world. Part 2, which is coming Nov. 2023, should still maintain the interwoven alliances and political scheming, but there will also be a lot more action. It's possible that there will be a Dune pt. 3, but neither the director nor the studio have made any announcements yet.

      @fakecubed Před rokem +3

      I wanted it about 30 minutes slower in the first half, to provide more details of the world, show off the minor characters some more so their deaths would be more impactful, and really hammer home just how scarce and important water is on Arrakis.
      Denis Villeneuve definitely wants to make Part 3, covering the entire second book, and I hope he'll eventually decide or be persuaded to make the third book into a film as well, and hopefully even beyond that. I've heard he wants certain actors to age up a bit in real life before a Part 3. That was a concern I had too, so it sounds like he really wants to do these stories right, if he gets to do them.
      Anyway, he's on board to do Rendezvous with Rama next after Dune Part 2, which I'm very hyped about. It's an Arthur C. Clarke book. I feel like Arrival was kind of his audition for it since it's another first contact story. So we got a bit of time before any decisions will be made. It will probably also depend on how well Part 2 does at the box office, so be sure to go see it multiple times and bring some friends to the theater when you do. These aren't Disney films, where the studio is willing to sign 9 movie contracts like it's nothing. Each one will have to prove itself before the next gets greenlit, but I think Denis Villeneuve has now proved he's up to the task.

    This movie changed my life. Completely. I went to the theatre with no expectations at all but left mesmerised, in a trance like experience for weeks. I became obsessed with Dune, it’s story and started reading Dune books. It was the best movie experience I had in my life. The adult science fiction with complex story. I can’t wait to see Dune Part 2 in the theatre next year and I have full confidence in Mr Villeneavu that it will be the movie that changes science fiction forever 😉. Great review man.

    Yeah man, you got pretty much everything you were supposed to get from the movie, story/universe wise. The questions you have at the end, are the questions your meant to have and will be answered in part 2 for the most part. They definitely don't hold your hand an guide you through the backstory and intricacies of the universe due to how dense the world building in the book was. In fact it's so damn dense that everything you got in the film was actually pretty much the cliff-notes version, and even that is pretty overwhelming for some people to grasp what the fuck was going on in this movie. Glad you enjoyed it, i effin adored the books and thought this was a phenomenal adaptation. It's only the first half of the first book, and yet this still has become my favorite movie of all time.

    Great reaction! The Emperor had to use the Harkonnens as a proxy because if he openly attacked a Great House (the Atreides) then all of the other Great Houses (known collectively as the Landsraad) would have retaliated. The Landsraad, just by sheer numbers, have the only fighting force that could challenge the Imperial Sardaukar. By using the Harkonnens he makes it look like it's part of an age old feud between two of the Great Houses instead. And while he does send some of the Imperial Sardaukar to fight along side the Harkonnens, his plan is to literally kill everyone and leave no witnesses (in the book they're disguised as Harkonnen soldiers, but that probably wouldn't play very well on screen).

    • @fakecubed
      @fakecubed Před rokem +1

      No artificial satellites in orbit of Arrakis, so if you want to murder a whole Great House and not let the rest of the Imperium know how it happened, it's the perfect place to do it.
      If the Emperor simply sent Sardaukar to Caladan, the conspiracy would get exposed rather easily. And besides, the Atreides had a lot of strength there. They had sea and air power. Send them to a desert planet, and they're out of their element. Attack them before they really have a chance to get established, and the Atreides go down. Plus, the Atreides never imagined the Harkonnen would send such a large force against them. They expected raids, not a full blown invasion. The cost of it was obscene, and nearly bankrupted the Harkonnen in the process.

    Dude, I love how you picked up on almost everything. For a non-book reader, you understood most of the complicated plot. I think the only two points you missed (or need more info on) are:
    1. The shields can be penetrated if you go slow enough (i.e. Gurney saying the slow blade penetrates the shield).
    2. The emperor had that elaborate plan (sending them to Arrakis instead of just attacking Caladan) for plausible deniability, so it won't be connected to him.

      Which is why during The Siege the harkonnen & sardukar used bombs attached to devices to slowdown right before impact.

    • @fakecubed
      @fakecubed Před rokem +3

      Plots within plots: a Dune staple.
      Basically the Harkonnen are too rich, and the Atreides are too popular (plus, they have a small army that is trained to be almost as good as the Emperor's Sardaukar, if that army grew in size or the Atreides started training other Great Houses to the same level it would be a serious military threat). Pitting them against each other kills two birds with one stone.
      First, the Harkonnens are removed from their main source of income, so they don't get richer.
      Next, the Atreides are sent to Arrakis where the Harkonnen have sabotaged a lot of the equipment so the spice won't flow as well as it used to, meaning the Atreides will be blamed by all the other Great Houses depending on the the spice trade for their income (which is all of them), so the Atreides become less popular.
      Then, because there are no satellites around Arrakis, the other Great Houses won't really know what actually happens there, when the Emperor and Harkonnen make their move. The official story can be whatever the conspirators want.
      Finally, Emperor makes the Harkonnen pay for the whole cost of the invasion, including the transport costs of the Emperor's own troops, practically bankrupting the Harkonnen, and it's likely the Harkonnen will lose popularity as well over the subsequent spice disruptions while they have to rebuild all the infrastructure.
      Whether or not the Duke Atreides or his heir live, the Atreides will be sufficiently disgraced and weakened to the point where they aren't a threat anymore.
      The conspiracy was even more complicated in the book, with the Spacing Guild, Bene Gesserit, and other Great Houses getting mixed up in it in various ways. And the Atreides were also making some moves, such as attacks on Harkonnen spice reserves on Geidi Prime. All we really saw in the film was a bit of the Bene Gesserit angle, wanting to keep Jessica and Paul alive.

    Jamis was a strong fighter. There was a possible future in which Stillgar took the place of Paul in the duel, and Jamis killed Stillgar. Then, Jamis became leader of their tribe, and taught Paul how to be a Fremen, and the two of them became friends.
    In the duel between Paul and Jamis, Paul had trouble killing Jamis several times, because he had the visions of the two of them as friends, and didn't want to kill his friend, a man who would teach him important skills. Another reason is given more explicitly: Paul has never had to kill. It's one thing to spar with Duncan or Gurney in training, and another to actually end somebody's life, and Paul is hesitant. But Paul is also used to fighting with shields, and with shields, the slow blade penetrates the shield, but the fast blade is deflected. In the desert, shields aren't used, the Fremen don't have them, and Paul isn't able to use one in the duel. If a shield is used in the desert, the sandworms go crazy and attack the wearer in a rage. So Jamis is fighting at full speed, Jamis doesn't slow down at the last instant to penetrate a shield. Paul, however, is fighting muscle memory, and all his training. He's slowing his attacks down at the last moment, giving Jamis a chance, and also giving Paul time to reconsider following through with the kill. The Fremen interpret this as Paul toying with Jamis, being cruel and dishonorable, but the reality is just a scared kid wrestling with some powerful demons.
    Ultimately, Paul can only see two possible futures, once the duel begins: one where Paul lives, and one where Jamis lives. The possible future he saw of the two of them being friends is gone. He has a choice between his own survival, and the death of Jamis. Paul's choice to kill, and all that follows, leads to the outcomes in the rest of the saga. He chose survival for himself, and the universe changes. With all the spice in the air, his prescient ability is growing stronger, his visions are becoming clearer, but he's still just choosing what paths to go down, out of many possible futures. Most people would probably choose their own survival in the situation, but for Paul, he sees many of the consequences of his decisions, like a holy war consuming the known universe. It's all a bit more complicated for him.

    "Can you even really call them helicopters?"
    They are actually refered to as Ornithopters, which is an aircraft that flies by flapping it's wings. A lot of things that arent really covered in this movie is the mandate to disallow thinking machines (for instance computers that would calculate safe passage through space, thus the need for human's to consume spice instead.), and that machinery replicates things found in nature.
    Also, I noticed for some reason the translating subtitles are off for you. In quick succession you had two scenes you missed a little information: When they talk to Stilgar (spitting scene), he turns to Paul and says "I recognized you"; and the other when Paul says he just felt he put on the suit the proper way, she says "And he shall know your ways as if born to them." But they convey the scenes so well, you picked seemed to have up on it either way. Really the whole film you did really well, which makes me glad non-fans are taking this in so well. Really happy with Dennis' work on this film.

It was pretty fast and very unpredictable, except that it would always break something or knock things over if you wound it up and let it go inside the house.

    Never think of Jessica or any of the Bene Gesserit as helpless. They are lethal in any position and any circumstance. One of the true great powers behind all thrones in this universe. Can I recommend the book. Maybe after you've seen the second movie when it comes out. I have a lot of favourite books that I reread from time to time like well worn comfortable slippers, I don't think that's unusual. You know you skip bits, sometimes you read the bits you love so fast because they are ingrained in your mind. I went back and read Dune a year or so ago, first time I'd read it in ages, although I've read it many times. I found it totally compelling, every word, every glorious piece of intrigue, every fight, every death, every beautifully crafted piece of background lore. I found myself re-reading it like it was the first time again. It's a truly groundbreaking piece of science fiction and an amazing piece of story telling.

      Languages are quite important in the Dune universe, and there's a great many being spoken, plus various sign languages. In the books there's also quite a lot of written codes. Every Great House has its "battle language" which soldiers and spies from other Great Houses don't know how to translate, and these come in spoken and signed varieties.
      Jessica, with her Bene Gesserit training, knows a lot of languages, and can suss out a lot of cultural information from the Fremen based on the language and words they use.

    "Dreams make good stories, but everything important happens when we're awake."
    Fun Fact: This film sports a distinctly Arabic theme, in keeping with author Frank Herbert having used Islamic culture as an influence for his story.
    Location Location Fact: The scenes on the ocean world of Caladan were shot in Stadlandet, Norway. Much of the desert scenes on the desert world of Arrakis were shot in Jordan and Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East.
    Fan Filmmakers Fact: Composer Hans Zimmer is a big fan of the novel Dune, and turned down working with frequent collaborator Christopher Nolan on Tenet (2020) to score this film. For the same reason, Denis Villeneuve was the top choice but turned down the offer to direct the Bond film No Time To Die (2021).

    I will address two points. First, the Duke and Lady Jessica are not married, although she is legitimized as the mother of his heir. By keeping her as his bound concubine instead of his wife, Duke Leto leaves the door open for an alliance by political marriage with one of the other Great Houses.
    Second, the Kwisatz Haderach. The Spacing Guild uses quantum transposition to transport both cargo and passengers on their heighliners. The Guild Navigators have spent generations fully immersed in liquid spice to be able to do this, and still they lose one ship in every ten. The Kwisatz Haderach will be so able to select future timelines-to compensate for the Butterfly Effect-as to hit the mark every time, losing zero ships and even being capable of personal teleportation.
    The Guild wants him for the commercial possibilities, the Bene Gesserit want him for the task of guiding the Imperium away from needless war and waste, and to maximize their control, and the Fremen want him as a hero to overthrow the Imperium. Paul’s feelings and interests as an individual are almost meaningless, except insofar as he hitches his wagon to one of these much larger stars.

  • @AniMageNeBy
    @AniMageNeBy Před rokem +6

    Glad you liked it!
    Indeed, the story is quite compelling but worldbuilding needs its time, and they stayed pretty close to the original story and scenes of the book. Some details were omitted, but that's unavoidable when adapting such a lore-heavy book.
    As to give you some info on the lore and politics of the Duniverse, so it becomes a bit more clear:
    You have 4 major powerblocks in this universe:
    1)The Emperor (and his army, the Sardaukar)
    2)The Landsraad, consisting of a dozen Great Houses (and many Minor Houses, all vying for power). Think Game-of-Thrones here, but in sci-fi setting. ;-)
    3)The Bene Gesserit; a semi-religious Order of women whom have certain powers (like the Voice, or being a Truthsayer, and some others not shown yet) and exert a lot of behind-the-scenes influence, but mostly stay low-profile
    4) The Guild Navigators and CHOAM; a strong mercantile power, with a monopoly on spacetravel
    It was more or less explained in the beginnings when Paul talked with his dad on Caladan: House Atreides is a growing power, politically and military, and the Emperor feels threatened. But he can't directly attack the House, because otherwise the Landsraad (the ensemble of Great Houses) will turn against him. As said, they each constitute a "big power" in this Duniverse. So the Landsraad and the Emperor keep each other in check, as it were.
    Meanwhile, the Bene Gesserit are working from the shadows, on both sides - they primarily are concerned with their own plans and devices, to create the Kwizatsh Haderach. They manipulate from the shadows and actually form the third great power in this universe, but seldom show it openly. They also exert power by political marriages, or become concubines for political advantages - which is why Jessica wasn't married to Leto, though it was done to benefit him and House Atreides, not herself or the Sisterhood.
    The fourth independent power, which is hardly touched upon in this first part of the movie, is CHOAM and their Spice Guild. They're like a huge mercantile power, and the Guild Navigators are the only ones able to move/teleport between planets, so without them, there would be no viable interstellar Imperium. Which make them essential and an enormous powerhouse as well - though, of course... they are and remain dependent on the Spice. That's why: whom controls Arrakis, controls the Empire.
    So the Emperor can't directly attack a Great House like Artreides, or he risks all-out war with the Landsraad, consisting of the other Great Houses. Instead, he uses an indirect attack, with and through the Harkonnens - who want their fiefplanet back with all the Spice - doing the grunt work for him. The emperor knows they will be easily instigated that way, certainly because the Atreides and Harkonnen already have a centuries-old feud going on between them. It's a sort of proxy war, thus. He does help the Harkonnen to make sure they'll win - hence why he sends a few battalions of Sardaukar, his elite troops. But no-one (especially the Landsraad) may know about that. (That's also why they killed Liet, because she was going to expose the Emperor's meddling).
    Also, some details one might have missed in the movie:
    About the time in which the story plays: in the beginning of the movie they show it's the year 10191, but this is not 10191 AD, it's 10191 AG.
    AG (After Guild - when the Spice Guild was made and started exploring the stars), and BG (Before Guild) are the iterations used and the lore in the books gives some indication as how that relates to our AD (Anno Domini). The most precise date - with a high level of accuracy - is that the first Dune novel which is set in 10,191 AG, corresponds approximately to 23,148 AD.
    It is mentioned the "space age" takes place in 11,000 BG, and assuming this would mean it began in 1957 AD as this is when the first satellite, Sputnik, was launched, we can rebuild the whole timeline to our AD. So if you add the year 11,000 BG to 10,191 AG you’re left with a time span of 21,191 years. So if you add 21,191 years to 1957 AD, you’re left with 23,148 AD as the most likely date.
    Quite some time! Most casual watchers of the movie think it's almost 10000 years in the future, but it's actually more than twice as much!
    Now...as far as the melee fights and old/new tech are concerned, it's important to realize that in the Duniverse, while there is very high-tech at CERTAIN aspects, others are low tech (which gives the retro-feeling of the movie) but with a reason. It may seem strange at first sight, but note, however, that this has an in-story explanation, namely: thousands of years ago, there was a rebellion against "thinking machines" (AI) called the Butlerian Jihad. Humanity won (barely), but since that time there is a very strong taboo on creating anything resembling robots or AI, and humanity started to develop their own powers (aided by the melange/spice), such as Mentats (basically human supercomputers). This is the reason you don't see any highly developed robots, AI or even computers in this world.
    This mix of old and new tech is a defining, historically explained element of the Duniverse; it's part of the worldbuilding and lore. Now, specifically about the melee combat: maybe you missed it, but they explained the shields in that fighting scene; they said "the slow sword can penetrate it". This is a hint that ALL objects with high kinetic energy are stopped dead in their tracks when hitting the shield, but SLOW objects can penetrate it. Meaning: ALL of our "modern" warfare weapons would largely become obsolete: machine-guns and all fast moving shells/bullets etc. become useless, but swords and knifes that are SLOWLY moved can still reach a target through the shields. Making the use of swords and knifes, after thousands of years, the dominant way of fighting once again. It's actually a cool twist.
    That's all I'm going to say about it, because any more would get you into spoiler territory for part 2! ;-)
    Hope that made things more clear!

    There are so many littke things i wish could have been explained but weren't.
    1)- there's no aliens or computers of any kind. All differences in people due to breeding, mutations via spice, etc.
    2)- spice is necessary for space folding, not because it makes the actual fold (travel) possible, but to actually safetly arrive, because, again... no nav computers, so a guuld navigator does this with their mind, and to do that theyre mutated by spice and advaced math training for centuries, so they can mentally "see" the two points in space and bring them together, via a form of mechanistic prescience, like seeing the future.
    But this gift comes at the cost of their humanity, they're monstrous, and theure highly left brained and nigh fatalistic in thought.
    3)- The Bene Geseret are like the opposite. Theyre nor psychics and they can't see the future, but through their mitochondrial DNA and genetic memory and total body/intuition mastery, they have access to millenia of wisdom and insight, but they have a plan to master their genetic past AND the future by way of selective breeding of royal family lines to bring about a MALE Bene Geseret... who has all their intuitive/memory/body powers, but also cantao into guild like mentat powers of super-logic, and prescience... gene based foreknowledge of hypothetical futures, in a non fatalistic way... a being able to plot the fate of mankind and save us from future doom.
    4)- The voice is a bene Geseret skill that uses insight and body control to create a kind of hypnotic command voice effect tailored to the brain of your target which compells obedience. They can also tell if people are lying, and can control their own metabolism and body chemistry at will... in addition to almost magical combat abiloties theough total body control. Hence how Jessica effortlessly defeated Stilgar.
    5)- Paul isnt just a male Bene Geseret, hes also being trained as an advanced duelist, and a mentat (a human computer). His father also gave hom something the emperor, the Harkonians and most Bene Geseret font have: sincerity, honor, virtue, honesty. Hes torn between charisma and practicality, ability and restraint, revenge and altruism. But despite his excellence, he is indeed a false messiah.

    No not Star Wars Spice. George Lucas ruthlessly took this word from Dune and a lot of other things too, that you will see as the story progresses, but I think George Lucas using the word Spice is simply inexcusable.

    as to why they where sent to Arakis, Atreides had to much power and influence, and Harkonnen had to much wealth ... 2 birds one stone make the Harkonnen pay for help of killing off there rival and Emperor remove the 2 biggest threats. Atreides couldnt taken out on there home world they controlled the whole planet, on Arakis they where limited to one city with limited man power.

      Yes, it's a movie. A movie simply can't have anything the book has. Denis Villeneuve had to make a lot of decisions since the first version of the movie before cutting was like 6 hours long. But the Lynch movie isn't more complete, it actually has less to do with the book and he just added a lot of very weird shit.
