  • 'Dune: Part Two' director Denis Villeneuve breaks down the glorious scene where Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) uses the thumper for the first time to draw a sandworm out from beneath the surface as Chani (Zendaya), Stilgar (Javier Bardem) and the Fremen look on. Denis explains how he built the "most important" scene of the film over the course of 44 days, with the use of various sunlight levels and blending of visual effects to make it feel edgy and real.

    Okay. This scene is actually one of the biggest arguments that could be made for the debate of real prophecy vs. Bene Gesserit planning. Because the Bene Gesserit could have written in that a boy will ride a grandfather sandworm (in my opinion that seems more of a Fremen legend that evolved over time), but could they _call_ that worm? The Bene Gesserit control humanity, not animals, not ecosystems. So how could they have known this would happen? Is there really a Fremen hero? I feel like this scene goes hand in hand with the gom jabbar scene in the previous movie. One scene confirms Paul as the Bene Gesserit’s Kwisatz Haderach (or points to it) and the other confirms Paul as the Fremen’s Lisan al Gaib (or points to it). And these scenes are constantly tugging at each other, defending the opposite argument, and there might not be any real answer.

      Hard agree.
      It’s more than likely that it’s simply Paul surpassing the legend and becoming his own, but there’s still those little things you mentioned that make it actually possible that it COULD be real prophecy.
      One other example is Paul putting on his still suit perfectly without any sort of planning or training.

      Here's the thing, nothing actually confirms that it is the biggest worm ever. Yes, a third party believer SAID it was the biggest ever. And the Fremen reaction at the place confirms that it was truly a big one; but was it truly a "grandfather sandworm"? I mean, we've seen in real life a lot of hyperbole about things that people have seen. People exaggerate, especially when they talk about things that relate to their faith. They see what they want to see.

  • @NACLGames
    @NACLGames หลายเดือนก่อน +97

    I always personally thought that 'fans' should not make adaptations. Fan films and other fan projects tend to be overreaching cringeworthy productions, which recreate childhood imaginations very often without the depth and meaning of the source material. There are, of course, exceptions....but not many. And I think Star Wars is a great example of what can happen with that when you attach a billion dollar budget to it too.
    But Denis seems to have figured out the answer to all of that. He's so humble about his approach, he's taken the ego out of it. What that actually means, is that the younger dreamer inside of him actually feels unsatisfied. He mentioned as much at the end of this video, that many parts of the film actually don't meet his expectations as a 'fan'. That's some real irony there, as many neckbeards around the net have already torn into him for making changes to the plot, and in some cases accused him of worse, such as changing the soul and meaning of the novel. I think the young Denis would agree with them. Yet the Denis of here and now made this movie the way it is because it's more immersive, it's amazing on film and in the theater.
    He essentially made himself approach it as a non-fan. But the great thing about that is 'fan' inside him still exists will still fight for some pieces of the pie. We get scenes like this one, and the 'fan' fights for it to be done to the utmost potential, well-balanced with the rest of the film.

When the fremen attack the spice harvester at the beginning of the movie, there's a moment when we see Paul and Chani running with goggles, but while running, the goggles retract, it's subtle so it's easy to miss... so that is what happening... So when Paul is running on the dune and he seems to have no goggles, he has the goggles on, it's just that they're retractable
