Here's my FULL Dune Part Two Easter Eggs and Breakdown video. All the Deleted Scenes, and book changes. And all the Dune 3 Teasers and clues! Let me know how many you spotted! Here's my new Deadpool and Wolverine Trailer video too! th-cam.com/video/pSY4bMbjdPs/w-d-xo.html
i watched the movie twice in imax and this scene made people laugh both times. on second time few people laughed at end when stilgar said fastly lisan al gaib after the duel.
Fun fact: Paul being the one to confront the Baron and call him “grandfather” instead of Alia was actually one of the possible futures Paul foresaw in the book.
The eye twitching of Chani when she heard Paul say he will marry Irulan was chef's kiss. You can feel the betrayal. Last night was the best theather I had in a long while. So hyped for the next installment!

@mindblown42069 it literally is a our a small boy it was loke that in the books too Jesus christ that's people like it so much and the fans because its so accurate
Absolutely he carrying the whole film, and deserves a oscar for his performance. it was necessary to do this possible future that does not end with incredible pain for humanity and with him being alive judging by the many book irulan wrote about him she likely understand.
The un-drugged prisoner gets a lot of screen time in the first film. He's in almost every scene as a background character close to Gurney and the royal court. Excellent touch
I think that’s why these films are meeting with some success. I’m not familiar with the source material, so I find them just okay. But other people are really eating these up. I’ll admit it’s nice to see a modern version of what inspired Star Wars.
Riding the worm was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in film. I watched it in Imax it was an incredibly immersive experience. The close up on Paul's feet when he finally stands up and the music kicks in...pure cinema.
I'd hoped since the first movie that he'd be able to control hoards of sand worms with "the voice" to war in the second movie. Too bad. But not too bad.
My one critique just to make it 100% perfect is that I wish they delayed sounds that come from very very far away (ie. Explosions, worm in the distance) just to convey the reality of scale, but then maybe people wouldn't understand or translate the delay as distance
The scene when Bardo wiped the tears away from Jessica, telling her not to waste that water. I think the director did an amazing job with that, as Chani had tears welling up at the end. Just shows she felt betrayed and hurt by Paul. I might be reading too much into but I really think that was two parts of the movie that intertwined.
Chani being the voice of reason was the best change from the books. It makes the audience realize more sharply that Paul is not a good person; he spends all this time saying “I can’t go South, then it kicks all this craziness off, oh no I’m so tortured by all of this” and then he just eventually leans into it…it’s nuts. And her sense of betrayal was not just Paul was marrying Irulan, but by doing so he was reaching out to grab power AND commit her people to fight a holy war to help him maintain power. She’s mad that he did the one thing he promised her he would not do: change who he is.
Thanks for the opinion. I hate this change totally and feel the opposite way but I keep looking for someone who will give me a good reason/explanation for why they did this and you are close. Thanks! However, I cannot imagine how she will have his kids and how they will grow apart in messiah and her being the last shred tying him to his humanity as he becomes way more out of the world… and I also felt they did her so dirty in the last scene. But thank you, you really brought me close to the why and what they wanted to show with it.
He's trying not to go because he knows billions will die in the holy war. The breakpoint was when he had visions of Chani dying to the atomic bombs on the hill. Even then he's still trying his best not to go until everyone tells him to. Since the beginning of this movie, Jessica told Paul that revenge is not the way that his father would have chose but revenge is Paul's way. So yeah, he didn't change but why the audience(you) thinks he's "good" is beyond me. He's doing everything he set out to do. Chani's story getting expanded is really just a justification.
I did like during Paul’s speech when he said the planet once had a Freeman name, Dune. This was my first time learning the reasoning behind the films namesake.
@@vaishnaviprasad2051No, in the books Chani just supports Paul not showing much emotion to resist the fact he's about to marry someone else. However, I don't think that's the most realistic human reaction she could have had, and that Dune 2 the movie is more realistic to how a normal person in love would act.
@@mattblom3990 Yeah, that was a gut punch for me, even though I saw it coming. It makes a ton of political sense to marry the emperor's daughter, but Chani is more than entitled to her anger.
Yes…….and she stood up to all the conflicts and hypocrites of the social order. Unlike the other Dune movies…..but the book itself is a good picturesque of the powers that are in the world and how people just follow along……
@@mattblom3990she has some conflict with Irulan and mocks her for keeping the journal. Irulan basically poisons her to keep her from conceiving. Channi dies giving birth to twins. Then Paul REALLY starts going or revenge against the Bene Gesserit.
Paul saw all the futures and the only one that didn't result in Chanis death is the one he's choosing. That's why he tells her he will always love her. He chooses a path so she can live - and will most likely be the one that kills him in the 3rd movie. The impossible love story retold.
@@davidmontoute2074 Some fundamentalists in Islam believe in killing non-believers for a path leading the victims to paradise. The idea is that those who are unaware of the "righteous" belief and haven't actively rejected it are considered blameless and are expected to resurrect in paradise.
@@emergencyawesome death tole of the holy war: The death of 61 billion, the sterilization of ninety planets, and the "demoralization" of five hundred additional worlds. 40 different religions are wiped out, along with their followers.
This summarization is spot on in my opinion. I see a bunch on YT stating that Paul was using Chani to get ahead and betrayed her for Princess Irulan. He clearly was in love with Chani, and made a sacrifice by asking to marry the princess. It was just something that had to be done. We all agree that the Bene Gesserit (not every single one) are the real villains here.
Here here, I think people forget that the Bene Gesserit have had a hand to play in all of this for thousands of years. Paul was just a pawn in their game - as it could have been Feyd Rautha or a handful of others to become the Kwisatz Haderach
Paul was deeply in love with Chani and they had a kid together. In the books it was made clear to Chani and Irulan that the marriage was political only and there would be no funny business, Chani was still number 1. I think the movies made the change for the better by making Chani his moral compass and the betrothal to Irulan was the final betrayal of who Paul was.
Love this movie. One Easter egg I noticed was in Dune 1 when Paul first steps into the sand and was hypnotized he utters “a recognize your foot steps old man” when he sees Gerney in dune 2 he says the same thing.
Okay I will respect your opinion... The sandworms are frickin epic! But without the actors the sandworms are not as cool. Every encounter the actors have with the sandworm is done soo well, when we look at the peoples emotions/reactions to those enormous beasts, we can imagine ourselves in their position, and because of that these sandworms appeal to us.
I watched it last night Dune 2 was such amazing film i was absolutely blown away. The cinematography, greig fraser , is one of the best to have ever lived. Villenueve ,and fraser made me feel like i was on Arrakis, and geidi prime. I also felt the presence ,and power of the fremen's religion through the people ,and paul was truly amazing film experience.
cinematography wise, Geidi prime was my favorite. You could feel the cruel and cutthroat culture so well through the monochrome setting and sharp angles of the architecture.
@@mosoto20 guess it depends where you are. The only seats available in the theater I went to were the first 2 rows and some random empty seats between a few people. Packed house. Most people I've seen in a theater since Pre-covid. I would love to see this movie in an empty theater too tho!
I have to say, that I cannot get over the fact that they changed Chani’s character from the book so much. And the whole dynamics between her and Paul and Jessica is also very different and unexpected. Especially the way he “betrays” Chani… there is no betrayal in the book as she is absolutely devoted to him, he holds to his promise of “this is political with irulan” and it is absolutely normal to have a royal concubine (just like Jessica was herself). And the fact that Jessica was even against Paul marrying Irrulan leaving Chani as the concubine because she did not want him to regret this decision just as his father did in the book… this bugged me a little bit. BUT anyway, like incredible movie and I loved it nevertheless!!!
What I noticed and loved is that in the first movie Chani says “this is only the beginning” at the end and here kind of at the end says “this isn’t over yet!” just forshadowing that more is coming!
Timothee was perfect playing a master manipulator. If I didn't rewatch the first Dune recently, I wouldn't have caught that he played dumb when asking Stilgar the Fremen name for the desert mouse. In Dune 1 he was studying the mouse and already knew the name.
I also watched alone in a theater with about 15 ppl. You could hear a pin drop in there. Ppl were so in tune with the movie. I might go back and watch it again
Likewise, was just me and my wife watching it today for the first time in a literally completely empty theatre 😮. First time that has happened since way back when fight club first opened and no one knew anything about it or how good it was.
Another factor underscoring the universe's reliance on spice relates to its unique characteristics. The substance is highly sought after by elite leaders throughout the universe, who value it for its remarkable properties, including the ability to prolong life and enhance cognitive abilities. However, a critical detail often omitted in cinematic portrayals is the severe consequence of discontinuation; ceasing spice consumption leads to rapid death.
In the book, Paul mentions that the Bene Gesserit could potentially use other drugs to obtain their abilities. However, once someone has resorted to spice, those other drugs no longer work. Paul points out that both the Bene Gesserit and the Spacing Guild opened themselves up to inevitable defeat by refusing to adapt, instead choosing to rely on a single substance from a single planet.
The Dune series, particularly through the emergence of the Honored Matres, illustrates the evolutionary potential beyond the established powers like the Bene Gesserit. The Honored Matres, with their distinct techniques and technologies, represent an adaptation and evolution beyond the traditional reliance on spice, highlighting the series' theme of the dangers inherent in depending on a singular resource. Spice melange, central to the narrative, symbolizes the peak of human potential when leveraging the mind's emergent properties. For the Bene Gesserit, spice offers unparalleled control-over others, memory, and biology-and even the ability to foresee the future. This epitomizes the ultimate utility of spice, aligning with their goals. However, Paul Atreides' critique, coming from a position of having harnessed these very abilities, suggests a foresight into the unsustainable nature of such reliance. His perspective foreshadows a future where humanity must transcend this dependency, a theme explored in depth with the reign of the God Emperor, leading to a new phase of human evolution marked by genetic immunity to prescience. This narrative arc mirrors the transition from collective tribal cultures to individualistic societies, reflecting a shift from a communal identity towards personal agency and individualism. In Dune, this shift is portrayed through the evolution of human societies in the cosmos, moving from a unified dependency on spice to diverse, adapted cultures like those of the Honored Matres. This allegorical evolution in Dune reflects humanity's historical progression, emphasizing the necessity for continual adaptation and the risks of stagnation. It suggests that, akin to spice-driven transformations, significant breakthroughs can lead to paradigm-shifting changes. What's fascinating about Herbert's approach in Dune is how he transcends the conventional science fiction tropes of artificial intelligence and technological inevitability, choosing instead to delve into the profound potential of the human mind. He initiates his narrative within a context of mental evolution and introspection, setting a unique stage for exploring the complexities of human capability and consciousness.

2:55 the nuclear weapons in dune (called "atomics") were NOT banned - their use was strictly regulated to be used only humanity ever encountered an alien intelligence that intended to do them harm. Each great houses has an arsenal of these weapons in dune.
I just got back from seeing it. The movie was so good. The shots the director did especially the one for Feyd going back in from the arena, the shots of Paul...my gawd cinematic. The music was amazing too. Stellar movie.
When you realize in the books that the Emperor has no sons because all his many wives and concubines are Bene Gesserit and they purposely only have daughters--the Bene Gesserit had a stranglehold on his rule. He was just a puppet too.
My god this movie was stunning from story to pacing to score/music to visuals and MY GOD the acting was some of the best. You know it’s one of the best movies when you are mourning the waiting period you’ll have to wait between this and the next😭
I rarely ever go watch a movie in theaters, I would often wait until it comes out on any streaming platform to watch at home. This movie is one of those that you MUST experience at the movie theaters!!! OMG I'm in awe, stunned, mindblown. Prob one of the greatest sequels EVERR!!
Yeah. The main issue with shortening the timeline was the absence of Alia, but they were able to pull it off. They even used the possible future Paul saw in the book and had Paul be the one to kill the Baron instead of Alia.
Paul giving that big speech around the end of the movie was crazy!! He did that so go and I don’t get into movies that much these days but him telling them what they’re thinking then says he’s the voice of the outer world!! He killed it!!
Saw this yesterday; it was brilliant. Felt as though it jumped around a little too much, I certainly preferred the pacing in Part One; But this was still a cinematic masterpiece. The lighting, cinematography, audio and music score, casting, etc was all exceptional.
@@nekomochi486 he’s talking about the grunting that does appear before each movie. I thought he was talking about the scratchy women voice that Paul hears in his dreams might have been Alia
Dune Two not only lived up to the first one, but surpassed it in every way and is a triumph of filmmaking. A masterclass in the truest sense. Really gonna be hard but it’s gotta replace something in my top 5.
When I read the Dune books waaay back when, I thought they’ll never adapt Dune into movies because how do they make the worms look awesome on screen. I’m happy to be wrong about that!😊
Everyone forgets that Paul and Chani have a child in the first book that gets taken and killed before the final battle. It was such an insignificant part of the story.
Great video!!! I was looking for one since I didn’t enjoy the rockstars review. Definitely enjoyed this one and learned more because of it!! I’m here to stay! Thank you🙏🏼
One thing that stuck out to me was the “giving water to the dead” being Jessica instead of Paul. And stilgar drinking her tear instead of Alia in the miniseries (don’t remember if that was in the book)
Thank you for this! I haven't read the books and I def needed some kind of explainer. I am a bit bummed that there is so much ahead. It looks like the story would literally take decades to make...
Your breakdown video popped up right before we walked into the theater & we immediately watched it afterwards. Thanks for always taking the time to explain everything without giving away future plot points 😊
A little detail I really liked was when the Emperor comes to Arrakis, when his ship is in orbit, you see the spice tank in the spaceship…. It seems huge, filled with spice fluid
Despite the original book ending is iconic, I admit that I love the new ending better; some of the context tweaks suddenly make some of the book elements hit harder (e.g. Feyd's 'pet' quote) and instead of feeling uplifting and victorious, somehow Denis manages to make it even more bleak and heartbreaking (one of the audience in my theater said something like 'oh no' when Paul decides to hand in marriage to Irulan and my eyes did get a little misty at this point, something that's not possible in previous adaptations). It may be a big deviation from the book but ironically it's much truer to what Frank Herbert had envisioned in the first place, that false messianic figures aren't meant to be revered and celebrated.
They used her as best they could without the three year time skip. They at least used the possible future Paul foresaw in book where he confronted the Baron instead of Alia.
I agree the paul speech was extremely moving and effective. I still feel not adding the wierding way of fighting in the movie takes an essential element away from the original material. That fighting method adds to the rarity & special fighting technique tauggt to the fremen. It explains Paul's fighting technique which he and his mother taught to the fremen.😅 LOVE IT!!
Thanks Charlie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I did see the OG movies. And thankfully my dad read the books so he was able to help me with some of the things they left out. Funny thing I thought I had forgotten most of it until you started going over it. Like I've said you do a really good job of that. Thanks again I am looking forward to seeing this next one. 👍🏼
A Butlerian Jihad trilogy would be great. Book 3 is a natural stopping point and you can then pivot to more… commercially viable stories like that Jihad
So I kind of hated all the dune books written by Frank Herbert's son after he died, but there's tons of good ideas mixed in there. Imagine talented people making tons of dune movies fixing those stories.
@@gyulatakacs1824 If I remember correctly, it was humans who used machines to enslave other humans prior to the Jihad. So it wasn’t exactly the same type of scenerio as the Matrix or Terminator.
I never read the books but i thought I was mis-remembering pauls sister killing the baron and being called an abomination in the older movie/series - glad you cleared it up
Yeah, that wouldn’t have worked without the three year time skip. But Paul confronting the Baron and calling him “grandfather” was at least one of the possible futures Paul foresaw early in the book.
Just saw this movie today. And I absolutely wasn't disappointed! Though I didn't expect to be, considering how I also loved part one... and had been eagerly awaiting this second part for a few years since. One comment in this video got me thinking though... the mention to the incredible age of the sandworms. And yeah... for one to be THAT big, it would be OLD... ancient. Obviously, they're not exactly intelligent (the book goes a bit into how they are actually controlled while riding, and it certainly has nothing to do with anything on their part, but instinctive need to keep themselves upright, not burying due to their gaps made in their scales, etc.) Still... after thousands of years, surely anything can learn something from previous experience...? And I now wonder if that huge 'grandfather' worm allowed itself to be ridden.
The worm being called 'Grandfather' worm also felt like foreshadowing for the relationship between Paul and the Baron harkonnen. Just as Paul dominates the grandfather worm, he later becomes victorious over his real grandfather - the baron.
In the final duel Paul gives the Atreides salute he learned from Duncan while saying the Freman line “may thy knife chip and shatter” he learned from Jamis
By not having Alia born yet at the end of the film implies it can only have been 6 months or so since the attack on Arrakeen at the end of Part One, when it should’ve been several years. 🤔
@@lilliebobson3146 I realize it takes 9 months to make a baby; like I mentioned, she was already pregnant at the end of Part 1, plus allowing a little leeway assuming she’s not immediately going to pop Alia out as soon as the credits roll on Part 2. Realistically that means 6 months or so they could’ve spent in the desert for a period of time that, in the book, is more like 5 years, which is the more salient point.
Really appreciated the breakdown. Loved the books and movies. Always appreciate the breakdown to remind me of the changes or meanings that I may have forgotten about.
Timothee stunned me in this movie. first movie he's been in, where he truly transcended into the character. its stunning, this movie is probably the best i've ever seen.
It’s kind of a mystery. No one is supposed to have nuclear weapons. However, all the houses just naturally assume that everyone else is breaking the rules. The problem is, if they nuke Arrakis to smithereens, they’ll also be destroying the spice - which would mean the end of interstellar civilization and the imperium.
@@WideMouth Each House stockpiles atomics in the event humanity ever encounters an alien intelligence that intended to do them harm. Supposedly all the houses all know that each great house stockpiles atomics, despite the severe social stigma due to tragic historical events (mainly during the Butlerian Jihad against the thinking machines, with even Earth and Corrin affected) The only prohibition of atomics was the offensive use of them, which would be grounds for planetary annihilation.

A few Easter eggs I noticed was the vision in part 1 where someone was fighting on the battlefield was shown to be Paul, but in part two was revealed to be Chani. Paul had a vision in part two where Chani gets exposed to an atomic blast and has her face become burned / blinded, I have a strong feeling that it is setting up part 3 to pay off that vision for Paul to be blinded instead.
I would like to know the reason they didn't teach the Weirding Way to the Freman. I thought it was a cool concept that gave Freman an upper hand that they didn't have before when fighting the Harkonnens. "My name is a killing word."
What you're describing, the Weirding Way in the Lynch movie, isn't in the books. The Weirding Way still exists, it's just basically bene Gesserit martial arts. Not a gun that shoots sound.
@@stephengrant4841 Thanks for clearing it up. In my head I intertwined the two. I read the book so long ago. But it still stands that learning the Weirding Way, sound gun or martial art, is an advantage in fighting.

The movie's sound design is awesome. Gotta watch it in a cinema with great sound.
Yep!

Watched in in iMax, worth every penny
My one critique just to make it 100% perfect is that I wish they delayed sounds that come from very very far away (ie. Explosions, worm in the distance) just to convey the reality of scale, but then maybe people wouldn't understand or translate the delay as distance
If this film doesn't win an Oscar for sound I'm moving to Greenland.
The scene when Bardo wiped the tears away from Jessica, telling her not to waste that water. I think the director did an amazing job with that, as Chani had tears welling up at the end. Just shows she felt betrayed and hurt by Paul. I might be reading too much into but I really think that was two parts of the movie that intertwined.
Nah I absolutely agree with you - when I saw Chani's tears all I could think was "don't waste your water"!
@@ambie920 hahaha same
Chani being the voice of reason was the best change from the books. It makes the audience realize more sharply that Paul is not a good person; he spends all this time saying “I can’t go South, then it kicks all this craziness off, oh no I’m so tortured by all of this” and then he just eventually leans into it…it’s nuts. And her sense of betrayal was not just Paul was marrying Irulan, but by doing so he was reaching out to grab power AND commit her people to fight a holy war to help him maintain power. She’s mad that he did the one thing he promised her he would not do: change who he is.
You can tell Paul went from a timid personality to a greedy power hungry and ruthless person who was about to start some shit
Thanks for the opinion. I hate this change totally and feel the opposite way but I keep looking for someone who will give me a good reason/explanation for why they did this and you are close. Thanks!
However, I cannot imagine how she will have his kids and how they will grow apart in messiah and her being the last shred tying him to his humanity as he becomes way more out of the world… and I also felt they did her so dirty in the last scene. But thank you, you really brought me close to the why and what they wanted to show with it.
He's trying not to go because he knows billions will die in the holy war. The breakpoint was when he had visions of Chani dying to the atomic bombs on the hill. Even then he's still trying his best not to go until everyone tells him to. Since the beginning of this movie, Jessica told Paul that revenge is not the way that his father would have chose but revenge is Paul's way. So yeah, he didn't change but why the audience(you) thinks he's "good" is beyond me. He's doing everything he set out to do. Chani's story getting expanded is really just a justification.
this is the way
If Paul would have stayed in the north they would all have died in the hands of fade and his army. So in the end he did what needed to be done
I did like during Paul’s speech when he said the planet once had a Freeman name, Dune. This was my first time learning the reasoning behind the films namesake.
With the sound effect right after gave me goosebumps
Fremen*
I actually finds it funny, like... their ancestors were very creative for that name lmao, I think I'll stick to Arrakis...
Baron Harkonnen also uses that name in the first movie. "My planet. My Arrakis. My Dune."
In the books I don't think Dune is a specifically Fremen word, its widely used by offworlders too.
I loved how Chani both loves Paul and is his antagonist because she really sees what's happening. Zendaya's acting through her eyes was so well done.
Is it that way in the books ?
@@vaishnaviprasad2051No, in the books Chani just supports Paul not showing much emotion to resist the fact he's about to marry someone else. However, I don't think that's the most realistic human reaction she could have had, and that Dune 2 the movie is more realistic to how a normal person in love would act.
@@mattblom3990 Yeah, that was a gut punch for me, even though I saw it coming. It makes a ton of political sense to marry the emperor's daughter, but Chani is more than entitled to her anger.
Yes…….and she stood up to all the conflicts and hypocrites of the social order. Unlike the other Dune movies…..but the book itself is a good picturesque of the powers that are in the world and how people just follow along……
@@mattblom3990she has some conflict with Irulan and mocks her for keeping the journal. Irulan basically poisons her to keep her from conceiving. Channi dies giving birth to twins. Then Paul REALLY starts going or revenge against the Bene Gesserit.
I took my 11 year old sons, 2 hours and 45 minutes, they could not believe how awesome it was.
Cool!
How many 11yr old sons do you have?
@@DvGnaps707could be quadruplets 😂
@@DvGnaps707well twins so 2 lol
I went solo. My girl fell asleep during the first one so i didn’t even waste her time.
Paul saw all the futures and the only one that didn't result in Chanis death is the one he's choosing. That's why he tells her he will always love her. He chooses a path so she can live - and will most likely be the one that kills him in the 3rd movie. The impossible love story retold.
Except it's Chani who dies in the books, not Paul.
@@rikk319 Maybe they will change it in the movies
When Paul said “lead them to paradise”
RIP like 60 billion people lol
@@emergencyawesome, it's an odd turn of phrase since, in these messianic belief systems, it's only the "righteous" who go to paradise .
I had goosebumps
@@davidmontoute2074 Some fundamentalists in Islam believe in killing non-believers for a path leading the victims to paradise. The idea is that those who are unaware of the "righteous" belief and haven't actively rejected it are considered blameless and are expected to resurrect in paradise.
@@emergencyawesome death tole of the holy war:
The death of 61 billion, the sterilization of ninety planets, and the "demoralization" of five hundred additional worlds. 40 different religions are wiped out, along with their followers.
This summarization is spot on in my opinion. I see a bunch on YT stating that Paul was using Chani to get ahead and betrayed her for Princess Irulan. He clearly was in love with Chani, and made a sacrifice by asking to marry the princess. It was just something that had to be done. We all agree that the Bene Gesserit (not every single one) are the real villains here.
Here here, I think people forget that the Bene Gesserit have had a hand to play in all of this for thousands of years. Paul was just a pawn in their game - as it could have been Feyd Rautha or a handful of others to become the Kwisatz Haderach
Paul was deeply in love with Chani and they had a kid together. In the books it was made clear to Chani and Irulan that the marriage was political only and there would be no funny business, Chani was
still number 1. I think the movies made the change for the better by making Chani his moral compass and the betrothal to Irulan was the final betrayal of who Paul was.

Love this movie. One Easter egg I noticed was in Dune 1 when Paul first steps into the sand and was hypnotized he utters “a recognize your foot steps old man” when he sees Gerney in dune 2 he says the same thing.
The most obvious reference and not an Easter egg
@@goestheboom5211right. A better one would be gurney telling him to not have his back turned to his enemies. Smh
That line is twice in Dune 1. The scene you're talking about is a callback to Gurney walking into the room in the training scene at the start.

The sandworms are the best part of the movie. I feel like they are the stars of the movie instead of the actors and actresses.
yep!
Okay I will respect your opinion...
The sandworms are frickin epic! But without the actors the sandworms are not as cool. Every encounter the actors have with the sandworm is done soo well, when we look at the peoples emotions/reactions to those enormous beasts, we can imagine ourselves in their position, and because of that these sandworms appeal to us.
@@parzival2077 they deserve Oscar awards, the sandworms
My favorite worm scene was after the fight and the houses wouldn't accept it, so they put the worms in catapults to launch them into the stratosphere
So you'd just watch sandworms if that were an option?
I watched it last night
Dune 2 was such amazing film i was absolutely blown away. The cinematography, greig fraser , is one of the best to have ever lived. Villenueve ,and fraser made me feel like i was on Arrakis, and geidi prime. I also felt the presence ,and power of the fremen's religion through the people ,and paul was truly amazing film experience.
Greg Fraser is awesome!
He is the goats.
cinematography wise, Geidi prime was my favorite. You could feel the cruel and cutthroat culture so well through the monochrome setting and sharp angles of the architecture.
Greig Fraser is just amazing, his work on Rogue One, Mandalorian s1, and Bladerunner 2049 is spectacular too
The theater experience made this movie even better. The audience kept gasping; and, in IMAX sound, that's impressive. Stilgar is also hilarious.
Me and the wife watched it a couple days after it came out (yesterday)and had the whole theatre to ourselves
@@mosoto20 guess it depends where you are. The only seats available in the theater I went to were the first 2 rows and some random empty seats between a few people. Packed house. Most people I've seen in a theater since Pre-covid.
I would love to see this movie in an empty theater too tho!
I have to say, that I cannot get over the fact that they changed Chani’s character from the book so much. And the whole dynamics between her and Paul and Jessica is also very different and unexpected. Especially the way he “betrays” Chani… there is no betrayal in the book as she is absolutely devoted to him, he holds to his promise of “this is political with irulan” and it is absolutely normal to have a royal concubine (just like Jessica was herself). And the fact that Jessica was even against Paul marrying Irrulan leaving Chani as the concubine because she did not want him to regret this decision just as his father did in the book… this bugged me a little bit. BUT anyway, like incredible movie and I loved it nevertheless!!!
See DV's movie scene breakdown, he explains his choice to change the character and why
“Crazy town, banana pants” is my new favorite phrase:)
What I noticed and loved is that in the first movie Chani says “this is only the beginning” at the end and here kind of at the end says “this isn’t over yet!” just forshadowing that more is coming!
Timothee was perfect playing a master manipulator. If I didn't rewatch the first Dune recently, I wouldn't have caught that he played dumb when asking Stilgar the Fremen name for the desert mouse. In Dune 1 he was studying the mouse and already knew the name.
"You are not prepared for what is to come."
I watched this movie alone in the cinema and it was empty. How people missed this masterpiece is beyond me. Going to watch it again.
I also watched alone in a theater with about 15 ppl. You could hear a pin drop in there. Ppl were so in tune with the movie. I might go back and watch it again
Don’t know what podunk you folks inhabit but I saw it yesterday evening and the theater was packed.
@@nerdlarge4691 I watched it at 11pm on a Sunday
I saw it a matinee showing in a huge cinema with about 30 people in it. It's definitely the best motion picture since Dune Part 1.
Likewise, was just me and my wife watching it today for the first time in a literally completely empty theatre 😮. First time that has happened since way back when fight club first opened and no one knew anything about it or how good it was.
Another factor underscoring the universe's reliance on spice relates to its unique characteristics. The substance is highly sought after by elite leaders throughout the universe, who value it for its remarkable properties, including the ability to prolong life and enhance cognitive abilities. However, a critical detail often omitted in cinematic portrayals is the severe consequence of discontinuation; ceasing spice consumption leads to rapid death.
In the book, Paul mentions that the Bene Gesserit could potentially use other drugs to obtain their abilities. However, once someone has resorted to spice, those other drugs no longer work. Paul points out that both the Bene Gesserit and the Spacing Guild opened themselves up to inevitable defeat by refusing to adapt, instead choosing to rely on a single substance from a single planet.
The Dune series, particularly through the emergence of the Honored Matres, illustrates the evolutionary potential beyond the established powers like the Bene Gesserit. The Honored Matres, with their distinct techniques and technologies, represent an adaptation and evolution beyond the traditional reliance on spice, highlighting the series' theme of the dangers inherent in depending on a singular resource.
Spice melange, central to the narrative, symbolizes the peak of human potential when leveraging the mind's emergent properties. For the Bene Gesserit, spice offers unparalleled control-over others, memory, and biology-and even the ability to foresee the future. This epitomizes the ultimate utility of spice, aligning with their goals.
However, Paul Atreides' critique, coming from a position of having harnessed these very abilities, suggests a foresight into the unsustainable nature of such reliance. His perspective foreshadows a future where humanity must transcend this dependency, a theme explored in depth with the reign of the God Emperor, leading to a new phase of human evolution marked by genetic immunity to prescience.
This narrative arc mirrors the transition from collective tribal cultures to individualistic societies, reflecting a shift from a communal identity towards personal agency and individualism. In Dune, this shift is portrayed through the evolution of human societies in the cosmos, moving from a unified dependency on spice to diverse, adapted cultures like those of the Honored Matres.
This allegorical evolution in Dune reflects humanity's historical progression, emphasizing the necessity for continual adaptation and the risks of stagnation. It suggests that, akin to spice-driven transformations, significant breakthroughs can lead to paradigm-shifting changes.
What's fascinating about Herbert's approach in Dune is how he transcends the conventional science fiction tropes of artificial intelligence and technological inevitability, choosing instead to delve into the profound potential of the human mind.
He initiates his narrative within a context of mental evolution and introspection, setting a unique stage for exploring the complexities of human capability and consciousness.

2:55 the nuclear weapons in dune (called "atomics") were NOT banned - their use was strictly regulated to be used only humanity ever encountered an alien intelligence that intended to do them harm. Each great houses has an arsenal of these weapons in dune.
I was surprised to hear him say that the houses weren’t supposed to have them. Even house had a stockpile. But they were heavily restricted in use.
I just got back from seeing it. The movie was so good. The shots the director did especially the one for Feyd going back in from the arena, the shots of Paul...my gawd cinematic. The music was amazing too. Stellar movie.
Paul already mentioned in Dune 1 to Liet Kynes he plans to marry one of the emperors daughters. His ambitions were not as instant as Dune 2 suggested.
But at that time chanu was not in equation
When you realize in the books that the Emperor has no sons because all his many wives and concubines are Bene Gesserit and they purposely only have daughters--the Bene Gesserit had a stranglehold on his rule. He was just a puppet too.
Feyd Rautha was hands down my favorite part of the movie, Austin Butler killed that role
When The Emperor said "I NEED MORE!"
Nod to COW BELL!!
the water droplet of Emperors ship over the city was a nice visual symbolism.
This movie is the reason why big screens still exists ❤.An absolute masterpiece infact best sci-fi movie of the decade .
My god this movie was stunning from story to pacing to score/music to visuals and MY GOD the acting was some of the best. You know it’s one of the best movies when you are mourning the waiting period you’ll have to wait between this and the next😭
I rarely ever go watch a movie in theaters, I would often wait until it comes out on any streaming platform to watch at home. This movie is one of those that you MUST experience at the movie theaters!!! OMG I'm in awe, stunned, mindblown. Prob one of the greatest sequels EVERR!!
Just watched Dune 2 again, and now watching Charlie’s breakdown AGAIN!
I actually get the changes, especially when they didn't lengthen the timeline like in the book. Well done.
Yeah. The main issue with shortening the timeline was the absence of Alia, but they were able to pull it off. They even used the possible future Paul saw in the book and had Paul be the one to kill the Baron instead of Alia.
Paul giving that big speech around the end of the movie was crazy!! He did that so go and I don’t get into movies that much these days but him telling them what they’re thinking then says he’s the voice of the outer world!! He killed it!!
Saw this yesterday; it was brilliant. Felt as though it jumped around a little too much, I certainly preferred the pacing in Part One; But this was still a cinematic masterpiece. The lighting, cinematography, audio and music score, casting, etc was all exceptional.
Exactly!
Yes, the way it jumped was jarring to me.
Agreed on all fronts
Dune part 2 is a cinematic masterpiece
There’s a theory that that deep distorted voice we hear at the beginning of each film is the God Emperor himself
I kept thinking it was Alias voices leading him from the future
Isn't it the Sardaukar?
@@nekomochi486 he’s talking about the grunting that does appear before each movie. I thought he was talking about the scratchy women voice that Paul hears in his dreams might have been Alia

Nice!
@@emergencyawesome me too brother
Me too. Walked out before it ended
Dune Two not only lived up to the first one, but surpassed it in every way and is a triumph of filmmaking. A masterclass in the truest sense. Really gonna be hard but it’s gotta replace something in my top 5.
When I read the Dune books waaay back when, I thought they’ll never adapt Dune into movies because how do they make the worms look awesome on screen. I’m happy to be wrong about that!😊
Awesome!
Just wait until they have to CGI a face on it for God Emperor.. or maybe it will just look like Jubba The Hutt ?
Everyone forgets that Paul and Chani have a child in the first book that gets taken and killed before the final battle. It was such an insignificant part of the story.
Great video!!! I was looking for one since I didn’t enjoy the rockstars review.
Definitely enjoyed this one and learned more because of it!! I’m here to stay! Thank you🙏🏼
One thing that stuck out to me was the “giving water to the dead” being Jessica instead of Paul. And stilgar drinking her tear instead of Alia in the miniseries (don’t remember if that was in the book)
I want to see the Jihad but it seems like we will need to get that via a Clone Wars type show
I think dune prophecy will touch on it. It takes place around the same time as the jihad. Theyll likely mention it but not show it directly

The Bene Gesserit
Thank you for this! I haven't read the books and I def needed some kind of explainer. I am a bit bummed that there is so much ahead. It looks like the story would literally take decades to make...
Pauls character arc really ends with book 2. Which is the next movie. After that the next generation become the main characters of book 3 & 4
Your breakdown video popped up right before we walked into the theater & we immediately watched it afterwards. Thanks for always taking the time to explain everything without giving away future plot points 😊

Everyone: Lisan al Gaib!!!!
A little detail I really liked was when the Emperor comes to Arrakis, when his ship is in orbit, you see the spice tank in the spaceship…. It seems huge, filled with spice fluid

Awesome! I'll do more Dune Messiah videos when we start getting more teasers!
@@emergencyawesomethanks
I can't wait for the holy war of dune messiah
I’ve been waiting 😅
Thanks! It took a long time to finish my video!
Despite the original book ending is iconic, I admit that I love the new ending better; some of the context tweaks suddenly make some of the book elements hit harder (e.g. Feyd's 'pet' quote) and instead of feeling uplifting and victorious, somehow Denis manages to make it even more bleak and heartbreaking (one of the audience in my theater said something like 'oh no' when Paul decides to hand in marriage to Irulan and my eyes did get a little misty at this point, something that's not possible in previous adaptations). It may be a big deviation from the book but ironically it's much truer to what Frank Herbert had envisioned in the first place, that false messianic figures aren't meant to be revered and celebrated.
I was waiting for Paul to tell him that Chani was his equal but he never did. Also everyone knew he’d take Princess Irulan’s hand
@@carlos00700Because she ain’t 😊
Charlie, thank you!! I've watched a many other breakdown and lore vids, but none of them explained things as well as you do!! Cheers
I absolutely love the movie but I really wish they had used Alia.
Glad they didn't
They used her as best they could without the three year time skip. They at least used the possible future Paul foresaw in book where he confronted the Baron instead of Alia.
It's not often I want to re-watch a movie as soon as it ends. Really great imo.
I agree the paul speech was extremely moving and effective. I still feel not adding the wierding way of fighting in the movie takes an essential element away from the original material. That fighting method adds to the rarity & special fighting technique tauggt to the fremen. It explains Paul's fighting technique which he and his mother taught to the fremen.😅 LOVE IT!!
Ohh that would be so bad ass if thry did
Thanks Charlie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I did see the OG movies. And thankfully my dad read the books so he was able to help me with some of the things they left out. Funny thing I thought I had forgotten most of it until you started going over it. Like I've said you do a really good job of that. Thanks again I am looking forward to seeing this next one. 👍🏼
A Butlerian Jihad trilogy would be great. Book 3 is a natural stopping point and you can then pivot to more… commercially viable stories like that Jihad
So I kind of hated all the dune books written by Frank Herbert's son after he died, but there's tons of good ideas mixed in there. Imagine talented people making tons of dune movies fixing those stories.
Just watch the Matrix. No, seriously I want to see that too.
@@gyulatakacs1824 If I remember correctly, it was humans who used machines to enslave other humans prior to the Jihad. So it wasn’t exactly the same type of scenerio as the Matrix or Terminator.

I just watched it 2 times on Thursday and and friday I'm going to rewatch for a 3rd
Im guessing the box office drop wont be too big..... word of mouth is going to be crazy for this one
Amazing vid for someone pretty new to Dune and having watched both films within the last week! Thanks for all the information!
I never read the books but i thought I was mis-remembering pauls sister killing the baron and being called an abomination in the older movie/series - glad you cleared it up
Yeah, that wouldn’t have worked without the three year time skip. But Paul confronting the Baron and calling him “grandfather” was at least one of the possible futures Paul foresaw early in the book.
@@WideMouthWhat was the Baron’s reaction to being called Grandfather? Did he show any Remorse?
Just saw this movie today. And I absolutely wasn't disappointed! Though I didn't expect to be, considering how I also loved part one... and had been eagerly awaiting this second part for a few years since. One comment in this video got me thinking though... the mention to the incredible age of the sandworms. And yeah... for one to be THAT big, it would be OLD... ancient. Obviously, they're not exactly intelligent (the book goes a bit into how they are actually controlled while riding, and it certainly has nothing to do with anything on their part, but instinctive need to keep themselves upright, not burying due to their gaps made in their scales, etc.) Still... after thousands of years, surely anything can learn something from previous experience...? And I now wonder if that huge 'grandfather' worm allowed itself to be ridden.
Awesome!
May thy knife chip and shatter - Elvis
The worm being called 'Grandfather' worm also felt like foreshadowing for the relationship between Paul and the Baron harkonnen. Just as Paul dominates the grandfather worm, he later becomes victorious over his real grandfather - the baron.
Awesome breakdown, thanks a lot
My pleasure!
A fact that is not widely spoken is when the fremen fought with the Atreides flag. I loveeeeed it
My only problem is waiting so long for part 3😢. I can’t wait for his son.
In the final duel Paul gives the Atreides salute he learned from Duncan while saying the Freman line “may thy knife chip and shatter” he learned from Jamis
By not having Alia born yet at the end of the film implies it can only have been 6 months or so since the attack on Arrakeen at the end of Part One, when it should’ve been several years. 🤔
Huhhh? They changed the time length for a movie adaptation of a book??? Shockerr😮 idiot
@@lilliebobson3146 I realize it takes 9 months to make a baby; like I mentioned, she was already pregnant at the end of Part 1, plus allowing a little leeway assuming she’s not immediately going to pop Alia out as soon as the credits roll on Part 2. Realistically that means 6 months or so they could’ve spent in the desert for a period of time that, in the book, is more like 5 years, which is the more salient point.
i think the way DV handled Alia was genius.
Really appreciated the breakdown. Loved the books and movies. Always appreciate the breakdown to remind me of the changes or meanings that I may have forgotten about.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
The conversation about "history will call us wives" is jessica and chani, not chani and the emperor's daughter
Paul can't see all possible futures but he has a "high" vantage point pun intended.
Future works like sand dunes, you can't see what's behind a hill.
Loved it!!!! The changes they made I feel were good like not including Jamis wife or Mentat plot would've made run time too long.

Just left the theater and, of course, this is the first place I go.
Thanks!
I thought that every one of the great houses of the Landsraad had a stockpile of atomics..
Paul definitely stated so to Chani. Something along the lines of “All the great houses have an arsenal of atomics…”
LansTraad keeps irritating me too.
It’s kind of a mystery. No one is supposed to have nuclear weapons. However, all the houses just naturally assume that everyone else is breaking the rules. The problem is, if they nuke Arrakis to smithereens, they’ll also be destroying the spice - which would mean the end of interstellar civilization and the imperium.
@@WideMouth Each House stockpiles atomics in the event humanity ever encounters an alien intelligence that intended to do them harm. Supposedly all the houses all know that each great house stockpiles atomics, despite the severe social stigma due to tragic historical events (mainly during the Butlerian Jihad against the thinking machines, with even Earth and Corrin affected) The only prohibition of atomics was the offensive use of them, which would be grounds for planetary annihilation.

I literally just got home after watching his film…
All I’m gonna say, watch the first part, then watch this one…
A few Easter eggs I noticed was the vision in part 1 where someone was fighting on the battlefield was shown to be Paul, but in part two was revealed to be Chani. Paul had a vision in part two where Chani gets exposed to an atomic blast and has her face become burned / blinded, I have a strong feeling that it is setting up part 3 to pay off that vision for Paul to be blinded instead.
I would like to know the reason they didn't teach the Weirding Way to the Freman. I thought it was a cool concept that gave Freman an upper hand that they didn't have before when fighting the Harkonnens. "My name is a killing word."
What you're describing, the Weirding Way in the Lynch movie, isn't in the books. The Weirding Way still exists, it's just basically bene Gesserit martial arts. Not a gun that shoots sound.
@@stephengrant4841 Thanks for clearing it up. In my head I intertwined the two. I read the book so long ago. But it still stands that learning the Weirding Way, sound gun or martial art, is an advantage in fighting.
