#DunePart2 #EasterEggs #EndingExplained
Okay, you spice heads! After a long wait, Dune: Part Two is finally here and it’s a big one. In adapting the second part of the first 1965 Dune novel, Denis Villeneuve has done the impossible: Bring one of the most beloved and complicated sci-fi books ever, to life, in a way that’s never really been done before.
An empire rules over the galaxy, but two houses, the evil Harkonnens and the noble Atreides, are old enemies. Long story short, the Haronnens wipe aout almost all the Atreides except for Paul and his mother Jessica. Jessica is a space witch called a Bene Gesserit, and Paul is basically a chosen one Messiah of the natives of Aarrakis. Paul has special powers, like seeing the future and the jedi mind trick [clip]. He ended the last movie with the Fremen people, plotting revenge against the people who murdered his house. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน

I just found out the film is heavily inspired by Islam filled with lots of terminology the worst is using the term Jihad to command and engage in warfare. Check out a muslim called Ayaan Hirsi Ali she explain what islam is all about.
Greg Freiser should be big and bold on that poster.. incredible cinematography
Your better help add reminded me of the therapist in the new Amazon Prime series "Mr and Mrs Smith" who reminds the couple that her Venmo information is on the Refrigerator on their way out at the end of each session. I highly recommend that series, even if it isn't something you normally review.
what if you don't have money

Paul: *breathes*

Irksome!! lol omg 😂
May thy knife chip and shatter ✊🏼
LOL
The “Silence!” using the voice Paul commands the revered mother was amazing.
That scene was fuckin cool
I finished my reread of the book today before seeing it and that part translated well. Loved the display of fear in her face.
it sure scared me😐
First time seeing a movie in imax and i thought my ears were bleeding after he yelled that
Giving feminism the "L"
People bring up Butlers performance as Feyd as the stand out but, while good, it's just one note: a psychopath. Javier Bardem is the real star of the movie. He brings humor, a fatherly understanding, leadership and eventually fanaticism to his role and he blends them all seamlessly. Bardem is just so good in this movie, it's a masterclass of a performance.
Agreed, he was the best part of the movie.
100% agree. Best performance in a five star movie.
I don't disagree but in my opinion Zendayas acting was really amazing ACTING just with her face and eyes you can feel what's she feels...i think her performance may gloos over people minds but i think it was almost perfect!
Javier Bardem and Rebecca Ferguson’s performances were so amazing and exceptional!
@@alptans7986personally Ferguson’s performance is the most bone chilling and scariest in the whole movie
Stillgar ,& all the " He's too humble" had the whole theater laughing everytime at the premier i was at 😂.
Javier Bardem absolutely stole every scene.
The cut aways to Lisan Al Giab were so good.
Same! 😂
Yes, you are 100% meant to laugh at the “southern fundamentalists”
The social commentary is not very subtle
sameee
The last part where stilgar was fanboying..Lisan al ghaib!
The best!
The black and white scenes were actually shot with an infrared camera. That's why you notice colors going negative.
Visually striking and great cinematography.
Due to a “BLACK SUN” 👌
When the Baron is summoned to see the emperor, it's an awesome contrast. The Baron is suddenly weak.
He went from being such a scary strong figure in the first film too nothing in the second. I was shook
It's been done a lot before but they did it really well here. Also watching the baron try to ascend the throne, even if just for a minute as he's dying was something special.
Just to specify something, we are NOT year 10 191 AD. The year is 10 191 AG, after guild (Spacing Guild). According to the Dune Encyclopedia, year 10 191 AG is about 25 000 AD.
@@toomanyblocks8448 no, I just double checked, its ~25 000 AD. Also Heretics and Chapterhouse are 30 000 AD
@@toomanyblocks8448 Humanity required many thousands of years to have slow space flight and the eventual discovery of Arrakis and the flow on effects that allowed the Guild to form. Things were very slow there for 15,000 years
i read the comments and I am amazed how many think possible a future with feodal societies AND space travel and genetic engineering. Fremens as fanatic religious farmers with advance filtration systems. All this FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Knowing the Murphy Laws (electronic chips evolution) I'd say that this kind of history is impossible, but as a fantasy it,s ok.
@@Grundewalt What about Dune is possible? Herbert specifically crafts a universe that is unlike our own: namely the existence and operation of the Spice Melange .... without which neither the imperium, nor space travel, nor the Fremen, nor the Bene Gesserit or all the noble houses would be possible. Not mentats, no Suk doctors, the Bene Tleilax or anything. It's fiction, deal with it
@Grundewalt If you are familiar with the story, you know this portion of it takes place roughly 10,000 years After all Artificial Intelligence, robots, and All "thinking machines" are outlawed and strictly banned. Even a simple calculator is prohibited. All thinking machines are destroyed. This revolution takes place roughly 10-15,000 years from Now, and 10,000 years Before the Dune story starts. From this point forward, technological evolution grinds to a halt, at least as far as Murphys Law is concerned. In fact, much of humanity is sort-of "reset", and as historical cycles inevitably go, they regress into more primitive technologies and societal behaviors. Murphy's law only works up to certain limits. There are quantum limits. These limits are reached far before the banning of the machines, anyway. Computers don't get better forever, and even if they did, Murphys law is still irrelevant when the civilizations' technological might can't be measured by its computational capacity.
There was some giggling in the cinema at the beginning of the movie when some of the dialogue of Paul and Stilgar was taken straight from the script of „The Life of Brian“: „I'm not the Messiah! Honestly, I'm not!“ - „Only the true messiah denies his divinity.“ - „Well, what kind of a chance does that give me?! Alright, I am the Messiah!“ - „HE IS! HE IS THE MESSIAH!“
LOL Javier played this perfectly. As do the extras who begin to nod in agreement.
It was over the top and brought a comedic edge to an otherwise dark movie. So it was great to have that break from the dark storyline at times. There was giggling at the IMAX theatre I was at too.
@@sieraclayton1503 He does deserve an Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for sure.
Just saw the movie today and I have not felt this way since watching _The Two Towers_ in cinema 2 decades ago. This movie is, without a doubt, the "Lord of the Rings" of science fiction. 12 out of 10!!!
I felt the exact same way. I was amazed every second of this movie.
I genuinely think that Dune Part Two is easily the best movie i have ever seen, no contest
same
FFS
Same. Used to be the first Matrix, but this has overtaken.
Same. I guess because it is so similar to Avatar and Star Wars
Not even close
Paul doubling down after drinking the worm pee reminds me of when Eren, from AOT, decided to put the conflict on his back and follow the path he thought best without input from just anyone
Thought the same
There's more to it, the visions add to something much larger
Yess. Pathss
It's bile.
Yeah. I also got some Eren vibes.
Ryan: “don’t judge me on the pronunciations here.”
Me: “oh it can’t be that bad”
Ryan, almost immediately:
“Princess EYE ROO LAHN”
Literally I was like ok I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Proceeds to pronounce everything wrong 🫠😂
@@ashdoes He showed us a literal guide and 3 variants of the same movie to still pronounce everything differently like he was M Night doing Avatar
He called the mandarin Jinn Darin so I’m not surprised
"Moo-dye-eeb"
And I'm not even gonna attempt how he messed yup Kwisatz
I was hoping for the Emperor to say, “I gotta have more spice!”
i automatically read this like Walken 🤣
"It needs more Worm Thumper."
I was waiting for him to turn to Florence Pugh at the end and say, “‘Make peace?!’”
I chuckled when he would talk on screen. Just kept thinking about the more cowbell skit
I got a fever and the only prescription is more spice.
The whole time I was watching I was so invested in the rich writing of the film. However I was also a little scared at Paul as he transitioned into the semi villain of the story. I hope this film does well so that we can get a part 3 hopefully with the focus on the holly war instead of glossing over that part
the third movie is intended to adapt Dune: Messiah so dont get your hopes up...
@@Lodrik18 I know what happens in Messiah but I would like to focus on how Paul loses himself as that part of the story develops
Messiah was a super short book so if they were smart the next movie would expand on it
Watched this. By the end I got that Paul is going to sacrifice the fremen and inflict brutal suffering on the galaxy in order to prevent Chani dying. That's what his visions showed him.
Chani leaving in disgust Is because she's fully aware of this.
I knew the adaptation was leading up to this choice, the twist is that its done for love instead of vengeful rage. If it were only for the latter Paul would have stopped after cleaning house with the Harkonens.
@@Digger-Nick yessss that's what Im looking for
The black and white scene was the best scene in both the movies so far! Just absolutely stunning and does a great job of immersing you into the world

Exactly what went through my mind too
yup, this also went through my head. along with ministry of silly walks.
Just watched it in an amc dolby theatre. The movie is spectacular, it's basically Game of thrones in space.
Literally how I described it
Exactly how I just explained it to my younger brother who didn't see the first part.
Wouldn’t Game of Thrones actually be basically Dune in Westeros?
Accurate
The movie was based on one planet, so not really in "space" at all
This was a really good summary. I was unsure how I felt about the change with Chani, but the more I thought about it the more I liked it. You hit it on the head - she’s the only one in his circle to have a problem with the path he chooses. Paul is not a hero, and we finally get to see someone acknowledge that early.
Zendaya was the only thing I didn’t like much in the movie. I never read the books and I honestly don’t know what Zendaya is famous for, but her little tantrum at the end felt pretty silly. I love the movie otherwise.
@@flabio7074 Gotta have eQuAliTY!!
@@colinm990What are you on about? What the fuck does that have to do with her character seeing Paul becoming a religious extremist manipulating her people into committing mass genocide and walking away in disgust?
@@MB-sq7yn What genocide? In pt2 they simply overthrew their generations- long oppressors who were the ones committing genocide. I think a little "thanks" would be in order. So you're saying Paul should allow the emperor to remain in power?
@@colinm990He literally goes to declare war against the rest of the galaxy, the thing he saw in his visions that he was terrified of, remember?
honestly the changes weren’t that bad- part 1 & 2 back to back is the best case for a film adaptation
What? Halleck and Stilgar are Clowns, Fremen making Picknicks in the bright sun the whole movie, Chani is a backtalking brat who disobeys and laughs at her Naib and uncle Stilgar (in a absolute illiberal society with strict rules followed by every Fremen which makes them so strong and dangerous). Do you really know the books?
@@ratatoskr8190 the best way to miss the big picture is to look at everything too closely
@@djontheweather Yeah well, then why making a movie about a book in the first place. They could have written their own scifi story without absolutely butchering a masterpiece. Intelligent written lore, characters and story and Villeneuve absolutely shits on Frank Herberts Vision. Just my opinion. Have no problem when someone likes the movie.
@@ratatoskr8190movies are better bud
@@ratatoskr8190respect to your respect of others' opinions. But just wanted to say it's really hard to agree with you.
Don't you think people should be allowed space for artistic license, as long as due respect is given to the source material? I think most would agree, Denis is a huge fan and respects Herbert's work. But in translating a very film-unfriendly work, some things are bound to be changed.
IMO, the few major changes were done very respectfully to the intentions and interests of the orginal author. The tiny things like what you mentioned help make it successful as a modern film, which will expand the reach of Herbert's original work. It's a win-win for everyone and should be celebrated in this day and age of low quality, mass-produced remakes and rehashes.
Feyed wasn't introduced in the book in gladiator combat. He was introduced in something like the second chapter I think when the Baron and Pieter are discussing their plans and the Baron has invited him there to "learn".
Yeah ... and he isn't a cannibalistic psychopath in the books...
Add masochist to his pathology. Must have really enjoyed himself to survive the box test. Am wondering if those girls the baron killed were part of an assassination attempt by Fyed. Would certainly explain why the blood sport went the way it did.
Yeah feyed is a smart character in the book plotting to over throw his uncle
One of my favorite part of the movie was the intensity building up to paul going through the spice agony. The visual of the 5 sandworms together, and paul splitting off. His march from the sands into the temple with the sand worms erupting behind him. He storming fast ,and deliberately to the center to give his speech ,and take control. Had my heart racing, and eager to go back ,and watch it again it was hard reading the books to visualize the intensity of what paul was about to do but seeing it on the screen just crazy!
Favorite part of the movie!!
Yes.
This is the best!
Unbelievable movie! Here’s to painfully waiting even longer for part 3! Yay!
2030😢
Something missing?
Paul leaves to a walk alone in desert "to the erg and back". "Walk at night or youll not survive". Next he is with Chani to check windtraps and a jump to attack on sandcrawler.
Something cut out?
I just took it as he did it easily. The wind traps was his next lesson he learned after he got back
Came here to ask that, I understand the point was that it was easy for him but that being cut off while we saw like 15min of sandworm skin texture was an odd choice 😂
The point of that scene was just that Chani shows up to help him, so he would easily pass the test. In her way she contributed to fulfilling the prophecy that the Lisan al Gaib would know the ways of the desert, even though she doesn't believe in it, motivated by her care for Paul. It was yet another example of how circumstances inevitably send Paul down that path.
@@AdrianQuark and her name being the Spring, if she knew the prophecies and wanted to sabotage it she never would show up at the temple to wake him up. Or she would because he'd otherwise stay in a coma, so yeah, it's subtle yet entirely obvious to anyone who's watching this without snoozing through movies.
@@glacialimpalaOr that it was said - that she is a part of the prophecy- like Paul’s mother says.
This movie was sooo amazing.. finally something with real quality and heart. How much everyone poured into this is just spilling all over the place. Bravo
I didn't read the books but love these movies. I think everyone should watch zendaya's performance the second time they watch this. She tells Paul what her warrior name is and that it means Desert Spring. She hates it because it comes from some old prophecy. When she is waking Paul up after he has drank the Water of Life, they say that to wake him it has to be a tear from the Desert Spring. Her performance between those scenes as the prophecy unfolds to me was great.
I mean she plays heartbroken pretty well,If you saw the MCU spiderman movies when she's MJ especially No way home your going to get A tier performance
@@steveace66 yeah but that’s not really on her. She just acted what was written. Like I said that one scene kinda ruins her character. I don’t mind deviating from the source material as long as you arrive at the same point but having her walk out shouldn’t have been the move. You could’ve still had her play heartbroken but bend the knee and show that the bigger picture is a freed Arrakis not whether the prophecy is real or some story and her looking like a spoiled brat.
She is the problem
@@TutesMcGutes youre going to have to try a lot harder than that to justify calling her a 'spoiled brat'
@@DNOTE831 Well instead of telling me what I should do, how about you come up with a counter argument to what I said and how I viewed the character based off knowledge of the source material. Generally we think of spoiled brats as kids who throw temper tantrums because they dont get what they want. In the book she has a baby that dies in the sietch, and she is on paul's side knowing that paul only loves her and his marriage with Irulan is politics. And let me reiterate, that I loved her character up until the point she walked out. The big picture is a free arrakis, which is what paul wants. Yes he may have some other motives, but we all want a free arrakis. But to turn her back on the guy she loves and walk out on him because of a disagreement, is a bit childish when we are talking about the freedom of your whole world. She could have still been upset and mad, but stayed, and discussed this with him. Her walking out now shows inner problems within his ranks when they should be showing strength in unison. Now you can argue that she doesn't want to be a soldier in HIS war. Which is understandable, but I'll still argue that a freed arrakis should trump any reason she has. So now that I have given you a counterpoint to my view on her looking like a spoiled brat, can you come up with your own points as to how she isnt so we can have a productive conversation?
My guess the blue ribbon means Chani is already carrying Paul's children. Between movies we will end up with older Alia and Paul's children.
I totally agree with what you said about the changes to Chani in the movie as I truly think it was a brillant change from the book. Having her be a non-believer and essentially aligned with the morals that Paul has at the beginning of the movie (i.e being against Paul becoming the Fremen messiah and the holy war), lets her serve as a physical representation of how far Paul has fallen by the end of the movie and without being too unsubtle, it makes it more clear than the novel that Paul is no longer the good guy of this story. Having Chani also be mad at Paul proposing a marriage to Irulan further compounds how much he has changed in the movie. Plus, these changes really make Chani a great and memorable character in the movie, whereas in the first novel she was very flat and bordering on being completely forgettable.
I don’t see Paul “falling” in his evolution to become the future ruler of all. Quite the contrary: he’s making grown-up decisions of how to consolidate his power, and Chani’s idealism, while cute, can’t (and won’t) stay in the way. There’s too much at risk.
She was quite annoying.
just got back from the theater; I'm pretty sure I saw a blink and you miss it moment of Denis as a Fremen soldier toward the end
I was lucky enough to see it at a premiere a few days ago and I took the voice over between Jessica and Mohiam not to be telepathy but the Bene Gesserit communication of subtle movements/body language
If I recall in the books there is talk about Alia "leaving messages in the past to be found in the present" or something like that. The effect is to have what amounts to telepathic communication but carried out via prescience rather than what we normally consider true telepathy. I had the impression that this is what was happening between the Jessica and Mohiam--they were experiencing communication in the present through their shared "Other Memory" of the Reverend Mothers but the seeds of their messages were placed there in the past for them to find when the time was right. It's trippy, but a really cool way of explaining how pseudo-telepathy may work.
The film makes it a point to show that Chani and Paul consummated their relationship. She could be pregnant at the end of the film. Given that there is no time jump in this film, it’s still in line with the novels in that both their children and Paul’s sister will be of age in Messiah. I have not read the books but I bet there is a time jump between this and the next film.
That's why Denis said Dune 3 is not his next work. Maybe we wait for a long time.
Where does the film make that point exactly?
Yes its in the books...but there is no reference to Chani being pregnant in Dune 2.
@@randyschwaggins consummated and pregnant isn't the same thing
A lot of people missed that Paul went to the "Dark Side."
Please expand.
@@gazetronix He turns into a Tyrant that kills billions of people. He's not a good guy by the end.
Paul makes the choices he does to save the human species. Not just the Fremen, not to get revenge on the Harkonnens, not to become the Emperor. It's more nuanced then "he becomes a bad guy now". He has "terrible purpose". He is a Tragic hero (as his Greek surname alludes to).
That take on Padme surviving to fight Darth Vader herself, is inspired, man. Would've made for a much better storyline in Star Wars.
I just saw the premiere with a friend of mine who read all the books… as much as I enjoyed the movie, he was complaining the whole time after. I don’t think the OGs will absolutely love it but I certainly did!
Character-wise, it's basically not an adaptation. Most characters are nearly 180° from their book portrayals, or in some cases essentially written out.
In production terms, it's fine. Casting is pretty good. Christopher Walken is horrible casting. They whiffed completely on the "orni" part of "ornithopter" (it means "bird", not "insect").
And so on and so forth. Dozens and dozens of things from the book that were just left out from the book, changed, or otherwise not delivered on well.
They were good movies. They were not good Dune movies.
I read all the books and the notes, some of them more than once, I saw many of Frank videos, this movie is a masterpiece ! yes there are some differences that hurts a bit if you know the real story, but man, that movie !!!
I think the changes were necessary. Frank Herbert was appalled that readers thought Paul was the hero. That's why he wrote Dune Messiah. As for the other characters. A movie adaptation can't have every character from the books. There are time constraints. Even the mini series left out major characters. Dune would need to be adapted into a TV series like Game of Thrones.
I'd tell your friend to change his attitude about life, when he gets something so unexpectedly good he shouldn't poke holes in it. The chance of getting something as good as this, plus all the likeness to the books was zero.
@@carlos_takeshi technically, it's 'bird wing". The only requirement to get the term ornithopter is flapping wings, whether they look like a bird, bat, or insect is up to the designer. A dragonfly style still counts, and I suspect it's partially inspired by the design from the Dune TCG.
Yo, Josh was fibbing about the string instrument. It's not a real instrument....see his Colbert interview 😂😂😂😂
I almost swallowed my tongue when Josh said he had played it since he was 7 and that's how he got the role. A fake instrument! He must have been trying to Gaslight the interviewer. HA!
@@KellysAdventures305 he was just joking lol
We absolutely must have a part 3
Denis is already working on it and I already know it’s gonna be a masterpiece even better than part two
My only issue....

@@shortstuff780 I honestly was thinking how the hell did they stop the sand worms to get all those people on it !! Insane 😂😂😂
@@jonahcarter196 they are all highly trained, so they would just jump on themselves. And the carriage is very light.
The exchange between the jessica and the other reverend mother at the end wasn't actually telepathy. I interpreted it as in the books, bene gesserit can communicate to eachother in ways so subtle that only they or those specially trained by them can pick up on it. To portray that in the film, they use voice overs.
I loved the film but had some issues with the pacing, also, when we got to the end I was hoping for a huge long end battle and it seemed short. I was hoping for a longer ending battle scene. Everything else was fine IMO.
Yeah the end felt far too rushed and earlier scenes drawn out
Agree
i liked the movie but man it felt like it was jumping around all over the place without really helping you understand it. i get the hype about it but i walked away kinda feeling the same as i did with part 1...it was fine, not great. never read the books so take it for what it's worth
I watched yesterday and it was awesome. 10 out of 10. Best movie 2024.
The fight coriography at the end is awesome some of the best ive ever seen
I absolutely love the scene on the harkonans home planet. Muah. That's how u make a movie!
This was amazing!!!! Thank you for the great work!
I just watched it. Omg breathtaking.
Chani as Audience Surrogate definitely worked in the movie, but it's worth mentioning that that role is played more effectively by the mother in the books. Chani's representation and her devotion in the book is chilling in different ways that I think the film doesn't achieve with any other character. Sometimes watching a character that you respect be led toward a darker path is even more impactful than the character representing the obvious sentiments of the audience.
Outstanding vid! Thanks Ryan Britt! Your assessment is exactly how I felt. I couldn’t have expressed it as perfectly as you have - the film adaptation is complete in character with the Frank Herbert Duniverse but exceed the source material by ignoring the 2-3 year jump.
Ryan, well done on the video. Suggest you listen to the Scott Brick audio books for more comfortable pronunciations if interested. Regardless, your enthusiasm is always infectious and the review is outstanding.
Please do a Star Wars vs Dune comparison (recognizing Star Wars came first). Because seriously, you can almost hear Baron Harkonnen: I AM your Grandfather.
Just got out of the movie it was amazing. Cannot wait to watch it again. Definitely could’ve been a little longer, though the end felt more rushed than the beginning. I’d like it better if she stayed by Paul’s side too.
I need a rewatch and a reread now, but I remember the end of the book being rushed too! Maybe it was a tone matched?
the death of Rabban was so underwhelming though. I'm a non-reader, so is this what was written in the book? But nonetheless, the movie was amazing.
I’ve read the book but it was over a decade ago. I’ll probably break out the audiobook now and see what changes I can find.
I felt the same way. It could have gone a little longer, and I don't mind it at all. I kept longing for more.
@@genichiro77 The movie actually gives more juice to those deaths lol in the book they are more underwhelming.
I excepted to be blown away like I was in the first part. I was mildly disappointed at the end. I do not think these changes made the story better… quite the opposite. Why the hurry to do it in the same year? Why remove a major character in Paul’s sister Alia? Why leave out Paul and Chani’s first son? That loss becomes very important in Messiah. They show the water of life being made but didn’t mention how this connects to the spice.
The acting was spot on, sound, costume, music all excellent. I just think they rushed the timeline weirdly (it did not build up the stakes or make things seem more urgent) and it ruined it a bit for me.
I really appreciate the citations for every clip shown, even if they are just for fun. amazing that there are some channels who will show a clip while mentioning a comparison with the one being discussed in the video, but never speak or show the name of the film being compared.
now, back to dune... and now, back to dune

Duuude, seriously. Just say what the movie said, not hard.
The bassist of King Crimson featuring Adrian Belew (Adam Warlock fave) plays a balliset lol (chapman stick) - Tony Levin! Super master bassist extraordinaire
Oh, that's why the baliset looked familiar to me! I had the fortune of seeing Toni Levin playing the Chapman stick with his band (Stick Men iirc) acting as support band for Porcupine Tree in Madrid. One of the best concerts I've ever attended.
Love the review. I already want to see it again after. You should also review Cabrini as well 👍
I’m just bummed that Alia didn’t show up as a freaky witch baby/prodigy and kill the Baron. 😢 And there was other mystical/superpower stuff from the Lynch movie that I missed as well. $0.02
I'm not sure I like the change of the timeline and events in Villenueve's movie.
As written by Frank Herbert, when Baron Harkonnen is faced with his fate it's been four years since he had Duke Leto Atreides killed resuming control of Arrakis. Prescient 4-year old Alia kills the Baron after letting herself be captured.
In comparison, It's clear in the movie that little time has passed and Lady Jessica hasn't yet given birth to Alia, also making the Fremen devotion to Muad'Dib less credible despite Stilgar's obvious beliefs in Paul as the Lisan al Gaib.
@@Playmaur Agreed , along with missing Thufir, Count Fenring, reference to Leto 2 being killed, etc. The 1984 version was better just because other than the rain at the end , they did great at trying to get it all in there.
I think it just would have been extremely hard to cgi a 2 year old baby talking like a full grown person. It just would have looked weird i feel like. The easiest route was to keep her in the womb and then in the 3rd movie she will be a teenager.
In a way, Paul coming in to end the Baron instead of Alia makes more sense in his commitment to be the bridge between houses. It wasn't done out of rage, certainly felt as an execution and merciful euthanasia.
Even when launching the attack on the other houses he didn't sound like someone drivem by fervour. It came across as resigned and an absolute last resort.
Did I remembered the movie wrong, but when Paul says he now see all the multiple future and see a path forward he also mention that in that path, Chani will eventually understand his choice to wage war?
Because it's the path where Chani doesn't die in a nuke strike. Man doesn't easily declare his love in public, then kill his family member, marry a princess for the throne and immediately picks a fight with the rest of the galaxy unless there's a really good reason.
Burning the galaxy for love.
The ultimate tragedy is that she's fully aware of his choice.
Not only that but I read it as an acknowledgement that Chani will understand (in time) his decision to marry Irulan in order to gain the power he needs to validate his claim to the throne.
I like that chani walks away for her character in this movie, but dune messiah will be drastically different if chani is fighting against Paul instead of being his love interest/future mother of his children
@@azmodanpcnailed it
@@lukecremeen8308 If they do that they will lose any good will from the book fanbase. I can't see how it could honestly be called an adaption at that point. It would be a rewrite. The fact the golden path hasn't been alluded to more directly is worrying
Bro I just watched the movie yesterday and EVERYTHING ABOUT THE MOVIE is all I ever wanted in scifi, the world building, the story, and the ship design every is so alien like and it’s not cliche at all. I absolutely love Dune and I can proudly say it’s one of the best scifi films ever made in History.
Thanks for this! I need to watch it again with all this info. Have you seen Cabrini? I'd love to know your thoughts
Awesome review. I very much agree that while I wished we got to see more adaptations from the book, this version handled things in an updated way that still felt true to the spirit of the novel. I really enjoyed it and I want to see it again in the theaters.
It was really clever to make Stilgar’s fanaticism a moment that makes you laugh at first and makes your stomach sink later.
Spice Krispies. Nicely done.👌
I had hoped for something special but did not expect something so spectacular!
Can't wait to see this next week!
Can someone explain these two things for me?
1. How the actual f do the Fremen get a whole tent and more onto the sandworms and how do they get off?
2. Why does the emperor places his army in the middle of the dessert where he can be attacked the best?
2. Not in the desert. The army was encamped and protected behind the shield wall close to Arrakeen. Until the atomics created u huge gap in it through which the fremen would pour with the worms.
They were also surrounded by mountains to protect against the storm. The atomic weapons were used to blow up a piece of the mountains to let the Fremen thru along with the storm and easily defeat the Emperors army.
In the book they describe how everyone in the empire is terrified of the Sardaukar because they are thought to be invincible, and given how they are sure the Freman are all south of the equator there wasn't much need to worry.
It did take hubris, some nukes and like 6 worms to break them after all.
I KNOWWWW THATS WHY THE MOVIE WAS CRAAAP
To address point 1, in the books (or maybe the original film?) the fremen use hooks that pry up a bit of skin, sand getting into it is irritating to the worm and they rotate to bring it as far from the sand as possible. They could attach the tent (which was very small) to that and have the worm rotate it up to the top.
“May thy knife chip and shatter” literally my favorite part
Dint read the books. I didn’t get why and how Jaime influence him so much?
@@potterdumb "May thy knife chip and shatter" is a Fremen saying, not just Jamis. Paul's prescience is due to the spice - it lets him see multiple possible timelines, including those where Jamis didn't die and is his best friend. It's more like this in the movie than the book, but that's the basis of it.
Very nice review.
I watched it earlier today, it was amazing 🤩
I think, that in the next movie we will learn that Chani is pregnant with the twins and Paul will comeback to her but then the princess ( Florence) will try to kill Chani with birth controls like in the book. and she'll die giving birth
The princess not chani
you're talking about the wrong book
@@toomanyblocks8448 Who cares. Part 2 isn't the book anyways. Maybe Villneuve will make Chani overthrow Paul and gets to be Imperator with Stilgar as court jester.
That's unlikely. Messiah is set many many years after Dune. And it's already set to have an older Alia.
@@ratatoskr8190and no one would watch it 😆
Yes, it’s worth the hype. Dune2 is a Masterpiece
In the movie, Paul says that he has seen that she will eventually come around… And I think it’s perfectly fine that they change up a few things to keep it interesting from the books I’m in there were a few things that were particularly silly in the books, so this is an opportunity to add their own touches as long as they don’t violate any particularly important premises.
Your references to the *Dune books* and to the first *Dune movie* are very precious.
As *It’s this complicated galaxy spanning space opera* 😅😌🙏
Was SO HAPPY they started with the throat singing like in Part one
the best movie of the year or maybe in 10 years.. hope dune part 3 will come out as schedule.. man just cannot wait for dune part 3..
Yeah 2028, Anya looks like shit went down--wait, is there a time skip or something..
@@GenJuhruthat’s too long why not 2026-7
I never saw anything related to Dune until today. Now, I want to watch it all. Really fantastic movie.
I hope you'll explain Cabrini. Villeneuve did an amazing job with Dune 2 - it doesn't look like twitch gameplay, unlike most fantasy films nowadays.
First, the movie is simply amazing!
I was bummed that w didn't see Alia of the Knife lead a band of Fedaykin against Sardaukar and shank 'em to make sure they were dead.
The ending of the book is just deliciously weird with her Gom Jabbarring The Baron.
They weirdness risked making the rest of the movie silly but c'mon , toddlers shanking and b-slapping the Reverand Mother would have been operatic.
Dune 2 Is A Masterpiece!!! 10/10!!! My Out Of The Theater Brief Review. The Sound, The Cinematography, The Acting All Top Notch!!! If This Movie Was Released In Oct It Would Have Challenged Oppenheimer For Best Movie Of 2023. This Movie Best Godzilla Minus One And That Was My Favorite Movie Of 2023. The Movie Ending With Chanti's Face Broke My Heart!!!
I didn't read the books but love these movies. I think everyone should watch zendaya's performance the second time they watch this. She tells Paul what her warrior name is and that it means Desert Spring. She hates it because it comes from some old prophecy. When she is waking Paul up after he has drank the Water of Life, they say that to wake him it has to be a tear from the Desert Spring. Her performance between those scenes as the prophecy unfolds to me was great.
I saw twice and his speech at elders Council of fremen gave me goosebumps.
I
But I missed 'looking back at you' to reverend mother in the end.
Thanks man, now I understand why she was so upset with the “messiah”.. she stood up against power and in the end in a certain way he’s now looking for power.. and using her people to achieve it.. great video and explanation 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Spoilers in the thumbnail already? It releases tonight man, at least wait till morning...damn.
You got to get ahead of the algorithm and yes they do this a lot
yea they’re buggin lol I saw it early but that is seriously insensitive
Man, you guys need to chill out with how quick you pump out videos, this is nuts. Can you wait till it is at least out?
It’s been out since tuesday online
@EnthusiasticLock-hn4qp yes, cause we all want the epic movie going experience ... of our laptop screens...
Can’t believe I just watched this in a empty theater tbh
Really? I just got out of a packed theater
I had to watch on the side seats in the imax. I already have seats closer to the center next time.
Mine was 1/4 full, but I am in South Korea.
I love your reviews! I would love to hear your review of Cabrini!
Leaving out the Weirding Way from the Lynch movie was a big "WTF?!" in my mind.
That and 2 of my favorite quotes were left out. "... and how can this be??? Because he IS the Qwisatz Haderach!" and "My name is a killing word."
The new movies were amazing and well done, but these small things just tripped me up.
Both of those things aren’t in the book (the weirding way in the book is more like Bene Gesserit martial arts)
I understand why you appreciate the change to Chani, but I personally can't stand it. Her character has completely changed... and she's the only Fremen now who doesn't like Paul? That's just too weird. And how much of her attitude at the end is that she doesn't understand that Paul taking Irulan as his wife is for show purposes only, and that by taking Chani as his "official" concubine, she is really his life partner, not Irulan. BIG mistake by Paul to not explain that this was his plan.
I'm also a bit disappointed by Saint Alia of The Knife can't be called that now, unless she goes on a killing spree (or something) at the beginning of Dune 3?
Yeah, book has Jessica telling Chani while everyone will call her a concubine, history will call her a wife.
@@mlj1111In fact, Paul not telling Chani in the movie could have been the reason Chani gets mad and leaves. Maybe her friend could have been the one against the prophecy, and then at the end of the movie Chani + friend leave together, both upset with Paul... or something? I guess it's difficult to know since we don't know what the plan is for Dune 3. Still don't like it, though; it's almost as if Villeneuve likes how Zendaya displays anger, so he wrote her as angry. Whatever the case, I just did not like her character in the movie. At. All.
@@marknandor784 This is the reason I think the 1984 version was better, other than the rain at the end. Pretty much stuck to the story. And also, didn't omit key people.
I completely disagree with your take. In fact I wish they showed other Fremen who reject Paul , thus giving these extremely strong race of people AGENCY. Chani agency, elevates the film away from being a cringe white saviour trope.
@@user-lu9bg4ll6v I mean, opinions vary. But a HUUUGE part of Frank Herbert's story is that, in Dune, there was a massive climate (social) shift, and the Fremen were uniformly behind Paul. It's a tragedy that Paul avoid leading this movement. It's basically the SciFi equivalent to Oedipus Rex - not the sex stuff, obviously, but it's the classic tale of someone burdened with destiny that he can't get out of. It isn't until Fremen/soldiers come back maimed and depressed that a Fremen-led movement against Paul began (not to mention the insanity of St. Alia of the Knife???).
It's not about agency, by the way: it's about STORY. Herbert was a master at the classic tragic hero's journey trope. In the BOOK, Chani is ever-faithful to Paul AND Paul was ever-faithful to Chani. She has PLENTY of agency in the book. Other than Stilgar and Paul, she has maybe the most agency in the books. She is fierce about Paul's safety, as well that of her kids. In fact, come to think of it, she might have the MOST agency in the book; Paul can't escape the intifada he has visions of, Duke Leto is forced to take Arrakis when the emperor gives it to him; even Stilgar is trapped between Paul gaining leadership, but that the typical tradition of fighting to the death controls him for the rest of his life. Jessica is almost literally enthralled to Leto, and then she is essentially forced to become a Reverend Mother. Of the OG Dune characters, Chani might have the most agency in the book already, since she gets to make the most free-will decisions.
Bottom line: YOU don't like the fact that Paul is a white male... or something? I don't want to put words in your mouth, but agency, frankly, is overrated. ALMOST NO ONE in life has true agency. So what is Dune about? Showing that a strong girl "gets to" have agency, or is the story worth telling as it was? Especially if Dune 3 comes into existence, I'm assuming it will be based on Dune Messiah, when the actual rebellion begins. Since we don't know yet, we'll have to wait to see how Villeneuve handles the rebellion. He could be foreshadowing the rebellion in Dune 2 in preparation for Dune 3 - that's my assumption, at least, if the story is to be coherent at all! But I hate it when directors think they know the work better than the original material. Yes, some things don't translate well, blah blah blah... but DON'T CHANGE CHARACTER TRAITS! That otherwise-masterpiece of the LOTR trilogy changed Faramir into a bad guy! But Tolkien describes him as a return to the Stewards of old, as wise as a wizard. FARAMIR WASN'T EVIL. And Chani did not have doubts about Paul. Pick someone else. There ARE other actors in the movie....
Ok I don’t get it.
Lady Jessica was pregnant in Dune 1.
By end of Dune 2, the baby is still in her mother and which means it hasn’t been 9 months….
So Paul reclaimed Dune, became a new emperor in less than 9 months.
Yep, they ramped up the timeframe compared to the book, where it took a few years for Paul's plan to take place.
While it's never said explicitly that the Bene Gesserit have such abilities (we know they can radically extend life - but fear being medically butchered for the secrets of the longevity) .... they can perhaps will a pregnancy to last longer. Alia herself might be delaying gestation until her environment is safer to be born into.
9 months in Earth humans. Are the Harkennons and Atreidies the same as Earth humans?
@@6Churches that is BS… they would have mentioned that they are prolonging the pregnancy. Movie rule number 1 , if it is not shown or mentioned… about”super power” you don’t assume they have such power or that power is happening.
@@radrobd123 Yes, they are. The reverend mothers have memories reaching all the way back to old Earth I think
Excellent video guys. Nice
Chani's Blue Cloth: I'd like to state my ideas
For the Fremen, wearing the color blue shows that one is in love with another. When Chani wears her blue cloth on her forehead, she displays this without remorse.
BUT, when she ties it onto her arm during his duel with Feyd Rautha, it reminded me of tying a Favor to one's arm in medieval tournaments, like in Edmund Leighton's painting "God Speed." A knight would devote the honor he gains in combat to a noble lady, and would often show this by tying her favored color to his arm, even if there was no intention of love. Just so, Chani ties the color that she associates with Paul to her arm, showing that she supports him, but has reservations about truly loving him.
Josh was kidding about the music instrument
jeeeeezuuuus!!!
when you said , excuse me for a few linguistic faux pas.... but DAYUM , you slaughtered every one ..EVERY dune reference ... i don't know whether to be annoyed, or to to commend you , since the only way you coulda done this more , if you were trying
i guess we just gotta laugh
Okay, I thought it was just me. Lol
He even butchered Denis Villeneuve's name
Felt intentional...and hilarious!
Mu Da Eeb???
Love his content but it has intentional to get comments. Like he went out of his way to butcher every pronunciation
@@shahaf75that was the one that sent me over lol
I have an interesting observation about the scene when Paul drinks the Water of Life. It happens between two pools, one with sand, the other with water. Sand represents the past of Arakis and water the future, as in the vision of Alia, grown up Paul's sister. Then we see Paul pondering next to the pond with the water as Alia was next to the ocean.
Great explanation thank you
Best breakdown I’ve seen. Far better than New Rockstars. Don’t think that dude has ever read the book or even watched the movie😂
Wait until Paul’s son turns in a worm!
I watched it and loved it! Worth the wait and it was badass
I couldn't make it through half of number one, and now you've got me hungry for number two! Now I've got to go back and plow through the first.
I'm curious about the Cabrini now, too. Don't know if you've ever done a review like that.
I don't think it was telepathy between Jessica and Reverend Mother Helen Mohiam at the end, I believe they were communicating with micro expressions.
Overall I thought it was great, but really misstepped in a few places:
+ No connection of the spice and worms was established in the film.
+ No spacing guild at the end.
Understand they were cut due to adding more layers of complexity to an already complex film, but I feel it could have been introduced fairly quickly and added more depth and be more aligned with the book. After the fight I feel the film got a little sloppy, but it definitely sets up for Messiah.
Yeah, even a simple switch like at the end having a guild member say he’s bluffing instead of Fayd when he mentions blowing up the spice. The guild rep could’ve added a line or two about needing the spice for space travel.
@@DinerLingoneeding the spice is so painfully obvious movie like this would embarrass itself if it mentioned it plainly
Yep, nobody in this universe would need to talk about why spice is important because they all know it, and the fact that it is important is obvious, like it's the opening quote of the whole movie.
As I recall, the relationship between the worms and spice was not entirely clear at first in the books either. They might go into it more in the final movie, or they might not, as the sandworm biology doesn't become that important until leto 2.
Also, missed the motivation of Shaddam IV. The Atreides troops under Guerney and Duncan were approaching Sardauker levels.
I almost cried when Gurney was playing baliset.
I hope I live long enough to one day see a retelling of the star wars movies in a more Dune like tone. That'd be dope
I had a similar thought watching it. "Damn, it'd be awesome if this guy did a SW trilogy."
