Considering the open ended nature of the entire story, it is fitting. The Dune saga (Books 1-6) is nothing less than the story of how humanity passes an ultimate crisis and opens up a universe of unlimited possibilities where Humanity becomes immortal and infinitely diverse.

I love this version of Princess Irulan. Between the way DV scripted her and the way Pugh played her, you really get a sense of what a next level human being she is. Extremely intelligent and thoughtful, very strong sense of morality. But also extremely shrewd, with an innate sense of the "calculus of power." She hates what her father did to Leito, but she doesn't get emotional about it because she knows he hates it too. I feel like any other movie wouldn't have been able to resist making her the "righteous" one, giving her some big dramatic scene crying about the injustice of it all. Instead, with the minimum amount of screen time, they somehow managed to give her this incredibly subtle, but very clear characterization.
This is what happens when you trust the process and don‘t treat your audience like absolute morons. Other movies/shows explain simple plot points 15 times vocally (looking at you The Last Airbender)
I like how we see her recording her thoughts to show us her character and do exposition. Reminds me if the excerpts from Irulan’s writings at the beginning of the chapters in dune.
I think her looks are kind of meh. I wish she wore a more extravagant yet simple dress that has some iconocity to it. Same goes to emperor Shaddam IV, in the books it's said he wears sardaukar armor the few times he's seen in public.
2:45 "And the Emperor said...nothing." Being forced to wait patiently to hear Christopher Walken's voice in this movie hit like a ton of bricks. A bittersweet subversion of expectations. Beautifully scripted, beautifully executed.
That’s the power of his casting. Walken is such a legend that you’re expecting one thing, but receiving another. You can see worlds of history in his eyes.
@@HGI1967ify It is chliche, and in the moment I thought that it is chliche, my next thought was "That should be a movie moment that establishes and kind of redeems that cliche line". Cause it´s true, the first movie was the prolog.
I just love the simplicity of Florence’s voice saying “and the Emperor said….” *cut to an icy Christopher Walken…. “Nothing” So simple but effectively epic.
@@LeFizolof When they enter Sietch Tabr, there were birds above them. Another scene is where Feyd burned the spy that was left behind, you could see Harkonnens with flamethrowers burning all of the bird nests and birds themselves.
Part 2’s opening can be a brilliant teaser trailer for the actual film itself. It also feels well like a passage in a book describing major background events on the page, only visualised.
Parts 1 and 2 definitely flow like one film. I also love how Irulan’s monologue parallels Chani’s of the first film’s opening. Two love interests of Paul that represent the Fremen and the politics of the Imperium, two sides of the same coin.
A clever point! And the parallel is not only with Irulan. Paul also awakes after a dream and soon gets taught by his mother, though in absolutely different circumstances... The two parts are each other's counterparts like yin and yang.
@@tarikay93 Irulan ends up liking Paul and raises his children after Chani dies, she poisons Chani in an attempt to make her miscarry but feels regret about it once Chani dies and Paul self exiles
Christopher Walken's acting just via his haunted gaze at 2:47 is perfect. You can see so much going through his head: Guilt, anger, sorrow. He clearly is not happy about what he's done by killing Duke Leto and wiping out House Atreides, but he also clearly doesn't regret it.
Is anybody else absolutely obsessed with the "Power over Spice is power over all" sound? I just set it as my text tone. and my ringtone is now Paul's speech to the Fremen.
To me it didn't ring (he, he) as powerful as the "Dreams are messages from the deep". Probably because that opening took *everyone* by surprise in the theatre. People literally jolted. The second time, the surprise element was lost.
im so grateful for how colorful the second movie is. from the olive gray tones when we last see paul and the fremen in part one to the vibrant orange when we next see paul and the fremen. I'd say its a night and day difference, although that phrase literally fits these two scenes as well
The sheer amount of orange during the eclipse had me hooked into Part 2 immediately. The blazing orange desert sand contrasting to the dark black Harkonnen suits is visually amazing.
At first I was a bit disappointed with Walken's portrayal of Emperor Shaddam, but I've grown to like it. Like with a lot of the major changes from the book to the movie, Villeneuve really boiled the character down to his most important attributes and emphasized them. In the book, you can tell that Shaddam is an insecure old man who is willing to backstab his friends in order to maintain an image of power and grace. But despite his peacocking, at the end of the day he's just another pawn in the Bene Gesserit's schemes, who ends up getting overthrown by a fucking teenager.
It works in that an old man seemingly 45 or so because of using the spice, would look cowardly not fighting his own battles against a man who challenged him - after so many died in his service. But Walken also portrayed a man divided within himself over betraying "a man he loved like a son." His voice cracking as he admitted to betraying Leto because Leto was too ruled by the heart and "the heart is not meant to rule."
The Bene Gesserit isn't as much "brought down by a teenager" as it is destroyed by itself. Jessica deviated from the initial plan and wasn't willing to sacrifice Paul under the notion that he was replaceable. It was through her own guidance that Paul got to where he was and it wouldn't have been possible without her. I see her role in this as starting a kind of pseudo Civil War
@@Planetdunethe reason why I kinda want just the 2 films is because dune part one and two both make up the first book. So putting them together is perfect because it’s one complete story.
Same. I even remember after seeing the first one that it felt too short and I could've EASILY watched another 3 hours. That's the miracle of good pacing, good direction, and a good story 😁
Florence Pugh made Irulan her own while still paying homage to the historian narration of the book and 84 visions. She is not like an ethereal being wearing extravagant hair and clothing talking before a cosmic background, but in a more grounded fashion.
I have fondness for Virginia Madsen's version of Princess Irulan from Dune 1984, "It was a delicate time..." Although, Florence's take on Irulan, scenes of her with the Emperor & the Reverend Mother does provides more character building, what goes on in the mind of the daughter of Shaddam IV.
The spectral, almost haunting chant at the beginning of the movies sends chills down my spine. A simple phrase; guttural. It sticks with you for the rest of the movie.
See, I never caught that rewatching the first film multiple times, but once I saw part 2 a couple times, seeing that subtle expression really told me how consistent her character was and it became obvious.
Loved the quiet opening to the Harkonnen scout drop. Jumps right into "action", but in more of a suspenseful and strategic sense. It also immediately brings characterization to the participants - the Fremen are alert and strategic, and while Paul & Jessica are not "in" on their ambush plan they can still think & fight for themselves
Villeneve wanted to film everything together, if they get to do a dvd release or something, they can put an intermission like lawrence of arabia, by this video we could see where it can be done.
What do you mean where it can be done ? This is just the beginning and end of both movies. The only thing missing are the credits and production company intros.
Denis my new favorite Director. Dude is proving that he is the “Man” for Science Fiction! Fuckkk I fucking LOVE the Dune universe. Cast and crew fucking awesome too! This is why we love good movies
Such a seamless transition, Dennis is the greatest filmmaker of our generation. Hands down. He's the modern day Midas of film. Improves everything he touches, 2049, better than the original, wayyy better. Dune, better than the book. Fucking legend.
The first time i heard that “power over spice is power over all” mannnnnnnnn I got so amped lol. It sounds amazing in theaters. Movie was so loud u could feel the vibrations of the explosions and the worms. Best theater experience ever
These movies definitely give me the Lotr vibes fellowship was a whole thing compared to two towers just like how these two movies are so different but the same
Back in the days, Dune was often considered to be "the LotR of sci-fi". Both novels came out during the same timeframe and both introduced this whole new world while telling a compelling story within this setting. It was completely new to the reader, and they both had a defining influence on their respective genre.
Easily the Godfather movies / first Star Wars trilogy / Lord of the Rings trilogy of this decade. Absolutely astounding movies that have elevated cinema as the previously mentioned titles did before. Modern masterpieces.
Not disregarding SW, but Dune feels much superior when it comes to narrative, cast and visual craft. Again, I'm a SW fan but Villenueve is a more accomplished director than Lucas in that moment.
OMG the oner on the sand dude.... Masterfully blocked and exquisitely executed. Draws no attention to the camera int relation to the action of the scene. Shout to the camera ops that pulled that off. So beautiful and seamless.
I had COVID that day, so I had to stay home despite the fact I had tickets pre-ordered. Luckily enough though, HBO Max was streaming it the night of the premier, so I just had to pay $15 for 1 month subscription to watch it that night.
I think one reason why these movies have been so well received is that they use a more realistic form of the heroes journey (sometimes called the heroines journey). The narrative structure is like an onion, they travel to arrakis, face trials and tribulations, acquire new relationships and knowledge, and attain freedom to return to the overworld (the galactic empire). Whereas the heroes journey says that we go back home at the end ostensibly to live a quiet life into eternity, we know that that is not how the real world works. In life, each new layer we peel back opens up a new world, a new journey.
I always thought the movies are more trying to portray a tragedy. It starts off with the conventions of the hero's journey (refusing the adventure / his destiny) but it ends in his downfall. Really the whole thing is just watching Paul tumble helplessly into his fate, where power corrupts.
@@gustavrshregardless, he’s the protagonist and thus needs to follow the heroes journey in a narrative sense. All in all the resolution is for the protagonist or “hero” to achieve his goals. Whatever the goals are
@@carlosandleon But at what cost? Dune is not about the hero's journey - it's about the cost to everyone else while the "hero" is chasing their goal. At what point does a hero become a villain?
Paul saying "My road leads into the desert," is the understatement of the millennium. That single phrase is going to be true for him over, and over, and over.
What's more infuriating is that they won't release it on home video in IMAX aspect ratio (1.92:1 or 1.43:1). So we're stuck with the widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio that doesn't really give that awesome feeling of scale that people who saw it in IMAX felt.
@@Skyfalcon12345I didn’t see it in one of the 9 cinemas globally that had true imax - I went to a local imax screening, which I found a mixed bag. The imax shots were full screen, but to maintain ratio the remainder of the film was side-cropped. To me the only uhd format for home that would work would be multi frame (like interstellar for example)
So many things to love about these movies, one being the different colour palette, from Part One (blue, Caladan, sea & air power, young Paul) and Part Two (orange, Arrakis, Dune, sand, spice, desert power, Fremen culture and religion, the Lisan al Gaib, sandworms, Paul Mua'd Dib). It's even in the posters
That look Jessica gives after Paul looks at Chani and she says 'this is only the beginning' before seeing the vision of her and smiling at the end of Part I is chilling. She doesn't quite know yet how this will end, but she knows Paul's relationship with Chani will serve a purpose - and she will take advantage of it...
Rebeccas Control over her expressions is amazing in the scene where she saw Paul smiling she seemed happy at first but afterwards she kinda became aware again of what they’ll have to do now to survive! I’m so happy she was casted as lady Jessica ❤
I really hope they do a back-to-back screening release before the Dune Messiah film comes out. Obviously, they'd have to put a 10 minute intermission between parts to give the audience a break
I think there is truly something lost by watching Dune Pt 1 / 2 at home. Every person who I've talked to who did not like it, saw it at home on a crappy TV without even a soundbar. Every person who loved the film, saw it in a theater, and those who loved it most saw it in IMAX. There really is something to Villeneuve's visual style that lends itself to being 3 stories tall, down to his spartan set design. Christopher Nolan always said his own film necessitated this, but, to be honest, I think the credit for that deservedly goes to Denis.
Paul continuing his path into the desert feels so sad in retrospect now, considering how Dune Part 2 goes. Just feels inevitable. Like seeing a train going towards a ravene but being powerless to stop it.
Its a fucking masterpiece My grandma is downstairs. I've blasted this beautiful sound (as usual when I watch dune) so loud, she could hear it. She doesn't understand a word (we're german), and yet she screams "god damn, what are you watching again???!" - thats how powerful this is, with the tone, the music and the silence…
There’s a lot of inspiration from the original dune soundtrack. Paul and Jessica hiding from the Harkkonen sounds like the music to Paul taking the water of life.
1:55 this Sardaukar chant functions perfectly as an intermission. I wish they would release a 5 hour version of Dune that would combine Parts 1 + 2 using the sardaukar chant as an intermission
Hopefully they release a special edition that’s the whole thing connected. Like a criterion collection edition or something. I’d pick it up in a second
Would love to see the end of part 1 connected with the last 1 minute of this video, with the part inbetween being added after the Fremen fight the floating Harkonnen(or was it Sardaukar) guys. It would make for a great change in my opinion.
I loved the movies, and now that I got to think about it, the martyrdom of the Atreides resembles a lot the martyrdom of house Távora from Portugal. It was horrible, and only the children survived.
I liked the way they pronounced Harkonnen in David Lynch's Dune. Sounded more threatening with a 'k' followed by a long 'o'. 1:56 The way they communicate in this movie is pretty solid. It reminds me of the Death troopers in Rogue One.

@@starnighlnot really, LOTR is older, it released like 70 years ago
2:46 - anyone else expected him to say "Wow! That's crazy! You gotta be kidding me"
Rebecca Ferguson deserves an oscar GOOD LORD.. she out-acted everyone in these movies and that is damn hard to do.
She went from subservient to Lady MacBeth at the snap of a finger.
OMG the oner on the sand dude.... Masterfully blocked and exquisitely executed. Draws no attention to the camera int relation to the action of the scene. Shout to the camera ops that pulled that off. So beautiful and seamless.
Man I missed out on Dune part 1 in theaters while I saw part 2! What an unusual experience
I had COVID that day, so I had to stay home despite the fact I had tickets pre-ordered. Luckily enough though, HBO Max was streaming it the night of the premier, so I just had to pay $15 for 1 month subscription to watch it that night.
I did that specifically thinking they would release Part 1 and Part 2 as a double feature in IMAX… but they didn’t.
I think one reason why these movies have been so well received is that they use a more realistic form of the heroes journey (sometimes called the heroines journey). The narrative structure is like an onion, they travel to arrakis, face trials and tribulations, acquire new relationships and knowledge, and attain freedom to return to the overworld (the galactic empire). Whereas the heroes journey says that we go back home at the end ostensibly to live a quiet life into eternity, we know that that is not how the real world works. In life, each new layer we peel back opens up a new world, a new journey.
Paul ain't no hero
I always thought the movies are more trying to portray a tragedy. It starts off with the conventions of the hero's journey (refusing the adventure / his destiny) but it ends in his downfall. Really the whole thing is just watching Paul tumble helplessly into his fate, where power corrupts.
it's actually a deconstruction of the hero's journey, please think before you hammer away at the keyboard
@@gustavrshregardless, he’s the protagonist and thus needs to follow the heroes journey in a narrative sense. All in all the resolution is for the protagonist or “hero” to achieve his goals. Whatever the goals are
@@carlosandleon But at what cost? Dune is not about the hero's journey - it's about the cost to everyone else while the "hero" is chasing their goal. At what point does a hero become a villain?
Paul saying "My road leads into the desert," is the understatement of the millennium. That single phrase is going to be true for him over, and over, and over.
The transition of Lady Jessica's smile into an evil grin
If only Denis supported an extended edition of part 1 and 2. Sadly, that will never be the case!
What's more infuriating is that they won't release it on home video in IMAX aspect ratio (1.92:1 or 1.43:1). So we're stuck with the widescreen 2.39:1 aspect ratio that doesn't really give that awesome feeling of scale that people who saw it in IMAX felt.
@@Skyfalcon12345 well your tv is 16:9 anyways
Has he flat out said he doesn’t want to release it that way?
@@Skyfalcon12345I didn’t see it in one of the 9 cinemas globally that had true imax - I went to a local imax screening, which I found a mixed bag. The imax shots were full screen, but to maintain ratio the remainder of the film was side-cropped. To me the only uhd format for home that would work would be multi frame (like interstellar for example)
@@DuBstep11516:9 is 1.78, so they could have easily done the 1.92 ratio for the home release if they really wanted to
Florence as the Princess is a top level decision, I'm so glad she got the role, she has such a stoic presence
So many things to love about these movies, one being the different colour palette, from Part One (blue, Caladan, sea & air power, young Paul) and Part Two (orange, Arrakis, Dune, sand, spice, desert power, Fremen culture and religion, the Lisan al Gaib, sandworms, Paul Mua'd Dib). It's even in the posters
Thank you! I missed that first bit the other night because we didn’t quite make it on time.
Hope they come out with an UHD 4K version combining Part 1 and 2 as a single film. One can dream.
That look Jessica gives after Paul looks at Chani and she says 'this is only the beginning' before seeing the vision of her and smiling at the end of Part I is chilling. She doesn't quite know yet how this will end, but she knows Paul's relationship with Chani will serve a purpose - and she will take advantage of it...
Editing in that cut of his vision as he looks at chani after she says this is only the beginning did wonders for my brain
Rebeccas Control over her expressions is amazing in the scene where she saw Paul smiling she seemed happy at first but afterwards she kinda became aware again of what they’ll have to do now to survive! I’m so happy she was casted as lady Jessica ❤
Smooth and flawless.
Perfect intro
I hope they do a Super Cut screening with Both Films back to back one day
I really hope there’s a Blu-ray release cut like this. I want to watch this movie all the way through uninterrupted
Irulan as a meaningful character-- not just the mysterious author of the history. Smooch.
Great way to transition both the ending of part one to the beginning of part two. It’s like reading a good book.
Gonna watch this movie over and over again when it hits HBO max in November!
it's already online you can watch it for free
It’s already on Apple TV
we need a 5 hour cut of them put together that would be so sick
I need them joined together into one, long, sci-fi masterpiece. Separetely they are magnificent movies, but together… wow.
If they don't upload a 5-hour edit of both films together, somebody else needs to. I will watch every second.
Perfection
Florence voice + Zimmer music = 🔥🔥🔥
if dune 3 isn't 6 hours long i'm not watching
Really hope they do a release of both films bridged like this, true five hour movie.
I can’t wait to rewatch Part 2 again when the 4K Blu-Ray comes out in a few weeks.
This doesn't have the subtitles for Lady Jessica's hand signal @4.54 .
"Enemy".
I really hope they do a back-to-back screening release before the Dune Messiah film comes out. Obviously, they'd have to put a 10 minute intermission between parts to give the audience a break
Very nicely done.
I need a full 6 hour cut where both movies are stitched together and I need it NOW
this music is so fire
This needs to be released as a full five hour movie imo
part 3 gonna be hype af
SO GOOD
If there's a five hour version of the two movies leading up to the release of the next part, I'd probably watch it.
I think there is truly something lost by watching Dune Pt 1 / 2 at home. Every person who I've talked to who did not like it, saw it at home on a crappy TV without even a soundbar.
Every person who loved the film, saw it in a theater, and those who loved it most saw it in IMAX.
There really is something to Villeneuve's visual style that lends itself to being 3 stories tall, down to his spartan set design.
Christopher Nolan always said his own film necessitated this, but, to be honest, I think the credit for that deservedly goes to Denis.
Hoping we get extended versions of both films one day
5 hours and 21 minutes long. I checked.
Would absolutely sit in a theater for this long and experience the entire novel in one sitting.
Paul continuing his path into the desert feels so sad in retrospect now, considering how Dune Part 2 goes. Just feels inevitable. Like seeing a train going towards a ravene but being powerless to stop it.
Han zimmer is just the fucking 🐐 when it comes to making Sci-Fi film music
Отличный фильм!
Well done.
Its a fucking masterpiece
My grandma is downstairs.
I've blasted this beautiful sound (as usual when I watch dune) so loud, she could hear it.
She doesn't understand a word (we're german), and yet she screams "god damn, what are you watching again???!" -
thats how powerful this is, with the tone, the music and the silence…
The intro of part 2 could also be post part 2 as Irulan archives the prevoius event.
Now I want it to see again for the fourth time
one of these days i'd love to see a five-hour cut of the two dune films with the ending of part 1 as the intermission
There’s a lot of inspiration from the original dune soundtrack. Paul and Jessica hiding from the Harkkonen sounds like the music to Paul taking the water of life.
I feel that only someone like Denis could do an epic like the Hyperion Cantos justice
Chani at the end of part 1: 😁🥰😍
Chani at the end of 2:
👺👺👺👺
biggest heartbreak in sci fi history
The sleeper must awaken.
1:55 this Sardaukar chant functions perfectly as an intermission. I wish they would release a 5 hour version of Dune that would combine Parts 1 + 2 using the sardaukar chant as an intermission
Wow
Hopefully they release a special edition that’s the whole thing connected. Like a criterion collection edition or something. I’d pick it up in a second
best
Would love to see the end of part 1 connected with the last 1 minute of this video, with the part inbetween being added after the Fremen fight the floating Harkonnen(or was it Sardaukar) guys. It would make for a great change in my opinion.
2:47 and the emperor said..nothing you idiots, the emperor is dead, hes locked in my basement. haha.
kind of expected eminem to randomly appear
I laughed so hard at this
You win the internet 🤣
Why didn’t you use the original Sardaukar chant subtitles?
Paul is a bop
I need them to release a cut of the Dune movies that is just both films uninterrupted.
I loved the movies, and now that I got to think about it, the martyrdom of the Atreides resembles a lot the martyrdom of house Távora from Portugal. It was horrible, and only the children survived.
I liked the way they pronounced Harkonnen in David Lynch's Dune. Sounded more threatening with a 'k' followed by a long 'o'.
1:56 The way they communicate in this movie is pretty solid. It reminds me of the Death troopers in Rogue One.
I can’t wait for the master cut
I was kinda hoping youd edit out the opening and cut it straight to irulan talking
yeah
