      One clarification... neither Paul or Feyd (as a suggested backup) was meant to be the Kwisatz Haderach. The Bene Gesserit plan called for Jessica to have a daughter first that would have been paired with a Harkonnen male (likely Feyd) to produce the kwisatz haderach in the next generation.

      One Question though. I thought Paul was NOT the Kwisatz Haderach but like he himself said "something else". Or did i misunderstand something? Him saying that implies that he can "see" the real Kwisatz Haderach, no?

      ⁠​⁠@@haltdeinmaul507The Kwisatz Haderach was a manifestation of the Bene Gesserits , who wanted to control him. Their breeding plan was meant to produce something they could control but Paul was more than they bargained for and uncontrollable. Because of his extensive training with the masters and his mother his mind and body were more powerful than they ever imagined. He, “was something else”.

    Honestly, I love Villeneuve's changes. It's clear that he loves the source material, but he's also a good director. And a good director knows where the source material just doesn't work in a movie. For example, leaving the time skip in the movie would ruin the pacing completely. I think the story is so much better when told from the beginning to end with no weird jumps.

      He is psychotic, yes, but completely honorbound to the way of the blade duelist. He has yet to meet an equal, and facing Paul brings that fear to him all too fast with which in his own mind, he knows should be revered. He knows he is equally matched, which is why he obliges the duel.

    What makes the Geidi Prime color being infrared even cooler is that the color was all done COMPLETELY in camera. That white and black is fully in camera and NOT VFX or CGI. So where Oppenheimer used some B&W film as well as CGI to turn color film to black and white. For this, Villanuve used an actual infrared camera that captured that dark black and milk whites. Whats also cool is that there is a very good chance too that the actual costumes in the film were most likely NOT black either as black wouldnt show up as just black like that. Which is all insane too when you realize, doing it this way means that once it shot, thats what you've got. So if for whatever reason it comes out bad or not used, thats a whole lot of money for the costumes, makeup, the set and so on for something you cant change. Its such a cool idea to use infrared instead of trying to do it with cgi or just using black and white. The extreme difference from the pure black all the way to pure white is something B&W film could never do and cgi would be difficult. Such a great movie.

It's just a hard thing to justify to Producers who only hear the word money and ignore the art. So I was so glad they were able to use the infrared and get everything in camera. Love when some cool trippy effect is done without cgi. 😍

      It's a bold move for sure. But it really panned out. I've had the opportunity to play with IR and UV filters on a DSLR camera. It's amazing how alien the world looks. The cool implication is that it suggests the Harkonnens can see into the infrared spectrum with their naked eye. I feel like it contributes to their menacing visage, having both low-light vision like a nocturnal hunter, AND heat vision like the Predator.

      It's redundant in the context of this likely being a trilogy. How can you have the emotional weight and discovery that "Things have gotten out of control" by undercutting it with beating the message over the head of the audience? Taking solely the actions of Part 2 and the original, you can justify everything Paul has done up to this point, especially given the final fight is him acting "honorably"(from the bystanders perspective) and putting his own life on the line. It's hard to pull the "we've gone too far" card when things are just getting started.

    I love Villeneuve's vision-- so very elegant. I tend to disagree with the author of this video over the depiction of Paul's sister Alia in the previous film adaptation of Dune as being "silly". Awkward, certainly, were some moments for the far-too-young actress employed. But the one scene of Alia in the ecstasy of bloodlust at the Jihad's beginning...absolutely spot-on, and the unforgettable image of an ancient soul within a child's body. Needless to say, though, this video is excellent, as is Denis' fully-realised vision of Dune. This is, without doubt, the adaptation for which we have been waiting.

    Paul in the films has already saved Chani from the events of Dune Messiah. He did this by taking the water of life two years earlier. And thereby turning Chani against him. Saving her from dying in childbirth. We see him observing the visions of their timeline from the books. And has chosen another path where Chani is safe.
    That's my theory anyway. THIS Paul had read the books in these visions we see. Which is why he's sad. He knows she will come to understand it one day. But she will never become his concubine.
    She's now the anti-Paul character. He knew the only way to save her, was to make her hate him. And part 3 is a mystery now.

      This is not the same Paul. He intentionally turned Chani against him. She's gone. No concubine. No jihad. No twins. No dying in childbirth. He sacrificed her love to save her life.
      She'll be a wildcard in part 3. Her divergence from the book events will make the next chapter a mystery. Chani has most likely has gone to rally the remaining Freman holdouts. And will probably be the leader of all the Freman who want to keep the desert dry in part 3.

    • @carpeimodiem
      @carpeimodiem 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +17

      @@Furudal no my knee jerk reaction to what I didn't like was just being upset at how much they changed Chani from the book. It's really awful writing for her new arc and dialogue.
      The scene where Paul takes the water of life, Chani's reaction dialogue was just trash. Jessica "YOU fix it!" She said, like a spoiled teenage character from HBO's Euphoria. About her "soul mate" as he lay dying.
      The fact that Jessica had to use the voice, but only had to say "do it!" with no further instructions whatsoever is pretty wild. She then slaps Paul upon waking. Because heeee's ok?? "Everyone's crazy." And "everyone's evil." But she just watched her man rise from the dead.
      The only man in history to ever survive the water of life. Because she completed a prophecy with her tear and a drop of worm poison. The most incredible, mystical thing any Freman have ever seen and she's immediately so sour that she slaps Paul after understanding that he's perfectly fine. And not even a little bit sick or insane. "As written."
      And she hates it because... drum roll... because he was born on Caladan! That's it. That's the problem for movie Chani. How silly. Such silly behavior and dialogue.
      But I backed away. Did some basic screen writing math. And figured out what DV was trying to do with these changes. Why he would make such drastic to Chani. And it's really not that complicated.
      DV is trying to make a film trilogy, by his own admission, which covers a complete arc for Paul. With no interest in Children of Dune or any other books. Which means he needs to make Dune Messiah feel like the end of the story. And the book Dune Messiah doesn't feel like an end of anything. There's no closure. It's a very strange place to refinish a storyline. And that's why Chani was changed so dramatically from the books.
      Chani is now the film face of the anti-Paul Freman rebellion in Dune Messiah. Which is an important part of the story. But Denis doesn't have time to introduce new characters, which don't mean anything to anyone.
      Only two Freman characters mean anything to the audience. Chani and Stilgar. And they are now the opposing figures for the Freman people. Stilgar represents those who follow Paul as their messiah, who want Arrakis to be transformed into a green paradise. And Chani represents the Freman who want Arrakis to be left alone. Who want to keep the desert dry and the worms happy.
      The key is to start at the end and work backwards. Denis wants the audience to have closure with the third film. No clif hangers for Children of Dune. So that means no preborn twins. So that means no Chani Concubine. So what else can Chani represent in the story? The face of the anti-Paul Freman rebellion. DV sets this all up in part 2 by changing the Freman culture from the books, so it's divided by northern and southern tribes.
      Then he changes Chani to a skeptic from the north. Then he changes her faithful father to a woman character of no relation to Chani in part 1. Then he changes Chani to turn against Paul after a few months of being together. So they don't spend the other two years in a relationship. They don't have a child together in Part 2. And it's over before it gets too deep. And before she starts to believe Paul is the real deal messiah. So they sped up the timeline. And so she reminds the audience every 10 minutes how much she hates the prophecy. How much she hates her secret name. How the prophecy is a trick to enslave the Freman. How they use it to control her people. But apparently that only mostly works in the south. Until Paul starts to fulfill the prophecy and convert everyone in the movie except for Chani. And the more he does, the madder she gets.
      Paul can see the future. And now he is absolutely fearful and depressed and sad and defeated about all the ways he can lose Chani. By dying in combat, by dying in child birth, by hating him for becoming the Messiah. He does see the visions of Chani from the books. Where she is with him in black ceremonial garb. Commanding the holy war side by side. And we know how that ends in the books. So many ways to lose her.
      So which does he choose? He chooses to piss her off and turn her against him. How does he do this? By taking the water of life two years earlier than in the book. Before they have (and lose) a child together. And she becomes his ride-or-die queen like in Dune Messiah, and dies. He avoids all of that by speeding up the timeline. And also keeping her away from the great jihad.
      He's sad. And defeated. He knows it's the only way to save her. He tells her he will do what must be done. With no reassurance to her that it'll be what she wants it to be.
      The final moment of the film is not about whether or not she gets on a worm. That book fan projection. Anyone going into those films totally green will tell you what that last scene asks. "What is she going to do to stop Paul almighty?" What's her next move? She's the only one we see who believes he is a total fraud. That should be exposed. It's a strange change from the book. But it is what it is. She is the ultimate woman scorned. And hell hath no fury like Chani on her way out of town... Close up on mad Chani face.

    Well done. I saw the film (for a first time) on Thursday and was mildly surprised at SOME of the changes, though by no means did they upset me: no book purist here!
    Miraculously, my overall sense is that they somehow managed to reassemble a lot of the key pieces they tore out from the first book (along with added bits - as visions - from some MUCH later books) in a way that left the family members I was with (none of whom have read even the first book) still making sympathetic excuses for Paul, notwithstanding all the visual and dramatic "Anakin vibes" he gave off in the third act...
    The "Messiah" film to come will surely put an end to THAT!
    I'm convinced we can expect Villeneuve to serve up the full "modern Greek tragedy" of Dune in his "Messiah". I heard someone on TH-cam quoting from Frank Herbert something to the effect that the difference between a hero and an antihero is where you stop telling the story.
    Herbert might have gone on to say that this also applies to the difference between an anti-hero (that audiences can at least relate to) and a tragic victim destroyed by a curse of the gods.

  • @Stingra87
    @Stingra87 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +37

    I honestly felt the pacing of the movie was way too fast. I think that Dune Part 2 needed it's own Part 2. This film should have been more about Paul learning the ways of the desert and fighting the Harkonnens, as well as giving more substance and believability to Paul and Chani's relationship. And we wouldn't just focus on Paul, but we'd also take the time to explore Jessica and how she converts Sietch Tabr to the prophecy, her growing powers and connection to her daughter, and make us care for the city as a whole. And we'd also give Feyd-Rautha more screentime and show more of Giedi Prime and how he's a psychopath and how he succeeds in countering the Fremen where Rabban failed. Dune Part 2 as I see it, would have ended with Paul's decision to go South.
    Then we open with Part 3 and that movie plays more into the revelation that Jessica is Baron Harkonnen's daughter, that Paul has Harkonnen blood because it needed to be handled better than just a couple of one-off lines. There should have been more focus on what the Water of Life did to Paul, more visions now that he can see them coherently, and his exploitation and taking control of the Fremen. The manipulations of the Fundamentalists and Paul and Chani falling out of love with each other. A better build up to the final confrontation, a more coherent final battle with the Sardaukar and later Feyd-Rautha. Also I wouldn't have cast Christopher Walken as the Emperor and would have instead cast Willem Dafoe. That way there's actual energy to the role instead of an old man in a nursing home gown looking like he wandered onto the movie set.
    That way the entire first book is a trilogy. I've seen it said that my ideas would make the movies too slow and plodding for the runtime, but this is just an overview of the ideas. DV and Jon Spaights would be able to make it interesting but from the narrative and visual perspective. And then with the first book being a trilogy, that allows a relative open slate going forward into Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.
    But hey, even if DV had to include the weirdness with Jessica talking to Alia at least he didn't have Alia as barely a toddler waddle out and end the movie by screaming 'KWISATZ HADERACH'.

    Now, I've read the books multiple times. Seen the adaptations. And I gotta say: I LOVED the changes in these films. Loved the choices! It's a different medium, Denis and his team are great storytellers, and we always have the books. These films made superb narrative choices. Time jumps are always sort of annoying to me in film. The fact that DV was able to include so much from the book without major time jumps was so impressive to me. And having Alia speak from the future in Paul's vision: visionary. I am so glad to have some novelty. And character development (Film-Chani is a full fledged human being with thoughts and agency, which is what we all deserve). Now that we have the absolutely brutal scene where Paul kills the Baron, I can't imagine a world without it! Lol. Overall, I think the bold changes enhance the film experience. Loved it.

    Also, Rabban's death was cheesy and cliche.
    Still, in comparison to the other versions, it is by far the best to date. Villeneuve somehow managed to water down the story, without diluting it. This is an impressive achievement in itself. That story demands at least another 3 hours of screen time in order to fully do it justice. Then again, having read the books multiple times, I am totally biased.

  • @schwarzestiefel
    @schwarzestiefel 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    You are explaining plot points and exposition that are only glancingly referred to by Villeneuve. A huge part of the books is the conversations that Jessica and Paul have with their ancestors after the Water of Life ritual. And the whole reason the Kwisatz Haderach is a super being is that he can access the male line as well as the female. Almost all of that is absent from the movie. Also where is the Spice Orgy? That was so important for the Fremen, that feeling of purpose and its benefit to strengthen genetic diversity.

      The Spacing Guild has a monopoly on space travel in the universe, which Muad'Dib and the Fremen would have complete control over after holding all of the Spice fields hostage seeing as the Guild requires Spice to navigate the stars. They would be operating everything in regards to space travel. Not only that, they will actively transport factions that oppose one another in the same ship and impose crippling sanctions for those who fight one another while in transit.
      It's unfortunate that all of the economics were pretty much cut but I understand why they did it. There will probably be some exposition dump at the start of Messiah in this regard to help fill in holes and show the importance of the Spacing Guild.

      The way I read it was that when Jessica chose to give Leto a son, she believed that her son could be the Kwisatz Haderach. This is why she taught him the Bene Geserit ways.
      The original plan was for Jessica to bear Leto a daughter, the Harkonnens to bear Feyd Rautha, and the product of that relationship being the Kwisatz Haderach.
      The artredies/harkonnen conflict on dune was meant to create a situation where the two houses were to make a peace treaty through the marriage between Feyd and Leto's daughter.
