The final scene of the 1984 movie Dune, when Paul Atreides becomes the Kwisatz-Haderach or Hand of God, and makes it rain upon the desert planet Arakis.
There was no peace for the fremen. Being under oppression and constant theft of their resources is not peace. Aswell as resisting and fighting those oppressors, there was war. Only on Arrakis. There will be peace for the world one day. Maybe not europeans
The best interpretation I've read is that Paul made it rain as a demonstration of his power to destroy the worms but only made it rain on that one area...preserving the worms.
@@Radb707 to his people who had never felt rain like he had on his homeworld it must have been incredible and to have been a part of something that would go down in history and be remembered for 1000s of years must have been just as incredible

@@dismalgravesite7763 not to them they don't, they love to blow each other up with every weapon imaginable, including some most humans wouldn't, like a weaponized exploding granny
I loved the movie and I loved the books, but one thing I didn't like in Lynch's movie is how they came at the subject of Paul's Jihad (My name is a killing word) but didn't finish the job. Part of the tragedy and danger of his awakening was that no matter which way he looked into the flow of time, his actions would unleash a holy war that would burn across the universe in his name.
In the books they set aside regions for the worms. It's not the entire planet that's transformed. The rain is one of the great scenes from Lynch's version that needs to go back in Alternative Edition Redux.
And so ended the Spice trade on Arakis. Hence forth those who desired spice would be forced to rely on roguish smugglers willing to make the Kessel Run in under 12 parsecs to provide them with their precious spicy fix
Honestly even after reading the books I still love this film. Seen the various cuts and director cuts that get close to Lynch vision, he did great job with the film in the circumstances. It really for me captured the terror of a messiah and being on the wrong side of a messiah wrath and powers along with costumes and sets are so gorgeous. The only thing outdated was some of the SFX but god some of the sets and costumes are so gorgeous. I am also pretty sure it David Lynch is take on The Greatest Story Ever Told film. Due to core cast from that in this and the beats. This film really impacted me and certainly still one of my favourite films.
It's also clear to me that he spent a decent amount of time in the Middle East. Paul seems like he's a mixed between the Prophet Mohammed and the awaited Mahdi that many Muslims are waiting for. And they mention things like Jihad. And one of the characters is named Farrokh, which is also Freddie Mercury's original name, though he was a Zoroastrian. And of course they mention things like Jihad. And the prophet was trying to equitable for his time and unite the desert tribes. And the people who joined him were similar to the people of Medina who joined the Meccans and augmented their army. It is all very clever, and the spice is replacing oil, obviously. Instead of him threatening to destroy oil supplies, it's some spice kind of like how spices were important in the Middle East centuries ago.
Totally agree, I’ve never understood the criticism this film got, loved it when it came out, love it now. Can’t wait to see the remake next week. Edit: I saw Denis Villeneuves remake earlier this week and it was amazing as well. Definitely need to see it at the Cinema though as the visuals and soundtrack are incredible.
@@QUINTUSMAXIMUS ... The Islamic references were already in the Dune novel. Frank Herbert had Islamic & Semitic friends so he probably got those ideas from them to write his Dune, starting in the late 1950's. David Lynch only used those words & references because they were already part of Dune. I don't think he ever visited the Middle East. Frank was also on set, helping Lynch & the screenwriters with the script along the way.
He only made it rain in Arrakeen as a demonstration of his power to destroy the spice, should he so wish, as a very effective threat to the emperor...effectively "MY empire, or none at all!"
The theme of the novels, and by extension this movie, is that once you rip individual thinking out of society (computers, inventors, etc) and revert to a feudalistic system, humanity is doomed to regress back to barbarism. The ending is exactly what it needed to be - a warning of slavishly following mystical dictators and the folly of evading individual rights. Also, the galactic civilization came to a screeching halt way before the movie started. A galactic feudalism is death.
I am very fond of this version of Dune. It had its flaws, but it did a good job of projecting the religious overtones of the book. It had that touch of Cecil B De Mille's The Ten Commandments to it.
Frank Herbert: Writes Dune with the core message of not putting all your faith in charismatic leaders and that no messiah is true. David Lynch: "soo let's give him weather control powers lol"
The whole point is that the movie lies to you. You see a message talking about peace in the background while you literally see Feyd's fresh corpse in the ground lmao
Paul (and family) do actually completely change the face of Arrakis and make the desert bloom, which is both what the Fremen always dreamed of and their undoing as a people. I don't think it's a problem that 1984-Dune condenses this idea to about 30 seconds at the end of the movie (especially if they were pretty sure no Dune Messiah movie would be hitting theaters anytime soon).
As a representative of the sandworm people, I must say that we completely disassociate ourselves from a movie production that is unable to represent our planet, our culture, and ultimately tries to sweep the sand under the carpet. A carpet that is clearly too small for the task. A Spice Girls concert would be a better option for a Saturday night.

Rain in one area of the planet wouldn't kill all of the worms on Dune. I don't think its assumed that its raining everywhere on the planet. Even in the latter books something like 80% of the planet becomes green while the worms still exist in 20%.
The Fremen have the catchbasins of water waiting to terraform and stuff. But they are careful not to kill off the worms with it. Saving it at the Arrakis Dime Water Debt Savings Bank for the right day.....
That much rainfall on that terrain would be devastating. The time to saturation would be so short that floods would drown a lot of the people that can't swim or don't have boats or can't reach higher ground
I have the DVD and it is theatrical version, the only version that has Lynch as the director, and the rain scene is in it. The other versions were for TV and are Alan Smithee. The scenes show here are actually from an alternate version. In Lynch's version, when we zoom into Paul's eyes, we see the oceans of his home planet. The rain scene is also much shorter. Some theatre version had cuts in it due to ratings, but obviously rain wouldn't be cut for ratings.
The rain scene is absolutely terrible and wasn't part of Lynch's original vision for the film. I wonder what brainless studio moron thought this was a good idea.
You know alot of people said this movie was shit but when It came out when I was a kid i loved it. I still do because it's part of a nostalgic memory for me.
Frank Herbert: wanted to show the dangers of fanaticism and warn against worshipping charismatic leaders. David Lynch: “One cannot go against the word of God!”
Zack Snyder: this guy ubderstand me. Gods deserve respect! In my dune Paul would have beeig the messiah too with slow mo and lens flares in the back ground.
I just finished the Spice Diver Edition fan edit of Dune (on TH-cam) and I found it to have the best narrative of any version of the movie I've ever seen, and it doesn't change the book by raining at the end, which would kill the sand worms. That version I can safely recommend to anyone without fear of letting them down with a seriously flawed movie...I can finally call the movie a masterpiece... AND it's right here on TH-cam!
I have yet to see the Spice Diver version nor the new 2021 version, but how would the Diver version compare to the Villeneuve 2021 version? I had read the Dune novel in 1983 so I knew what was going on when I saw the movie in 1984.
@@robwebnoid5763 Believe it or not, the Spicediver version holds up very well to the new movie. Thufir and Gurney are given less time in the new movie and then just disappear (but new Duncan is better), and so far no guild navigators. Also, Spicediver gives Paul and his father more time together, hence a deeper relationship. Leto actually lives past 90 minutes into it. Of course, things could change after part 2 and all the new character reveals (in a couple of years), but I'm definitely returning to Spicediver on a regular basis... And I do prefer the new Chani...

Actually a great film adaptation of an immensely influential work of science fiction. If a bit disjointed and choppy in spots, they did an admirable job with incredibly intricate and complex material. The film, however, admittedly makes the mistake of assuming far too much of a knowledge base on the part of the viewer. If you've read and absorbed the novels, you know exactly what is going on, even with the unavoidable gaps forced by the constraints of squeezing an encompassing epic into a two and a half hour film. To the uninitiated, it was a muddled and unintelligible mess, and many who saw the movie simply had no idea what in the living hell was going on at any point. This l have to admit was understandable, as much as l love the source material and appreciate the film.
When I saw this in the theater at initial release, they handed out cheat sheets (from the filmmakers) with names, houses, and definitions of commonly used terms to help make sense of things to first timers. Wish I had had the good sense to hold onto mine.
@@skanalakaa140Well, apart from the fact that they just killed all the worms by making it rain on Arrakis, and the film completely missing the point of the book by making Paul a good guy.
Of course the new version is FANTASTIC. But Lynch told the story in 2 hours, and I still love it, and all of its quirkiness. "Put the pick in there pete. Turn it round really neat!"
@@polemerosPC because they had too many women for you? I wouldn't even say it's boring, even if you don't like it, it's hard to call it boring. And CGI isn't automatically bad, and it's used well in the movies (hell, the novels portray and removal of societal growth like computers as a bad thing, so it's not like it's going against Frank's wishes by having computers involved in making an adaptation).
Water is deadly to sandworms. Rain will kill the spice cycle, stranding every human colony across the known universe, throwing mankind into a new dark age with no space travel. That version of Paul is even less heroic than the one in the books, and yet displays him most triumphantly. It's either Lynch's biggest misunderstanding or best set-up middle finger, but either way, it's hilarious.
Knowing the lore of the sandworm, I just realize that last scene is paul massacring the entire population of sandworm in Arrakis - essentially dooming the universe.
Slight change from the books ending.. .. Atreides becomes Emperor and unleashes the Freman on a religious crusade that slaughtered billions and turned numerous planets to dust.
I must of seen this movie no less than 20 times... Still at 46 yo, my favorite Scifi movie of all times. The ending here always gives my brain and body Chills. When he Broke open FEYD body, I cant get over how his own mother Looked Terrified!❤️ Like God, "What have I BIRTHED. " But at the same time standing there with a look of the NEW Universe Royal. And when Alia looks up at him before he makes it rain❤️❤️❤️ No movie in the world strikes up so many emotions like this one!
Years,years later,a man had sat down somewhere in the dunes. A broken man,older,the mans eyes were spice blue,he was paul. Usul,paul muad,dib. Or once known...as paul atreides. The kwizats haderach was in sorrow. He failed. His plan to stop all this madness while working with the fremen,failed. Death would claim him soon enough. But as paul sat,he had visions...oh the visions...at 1st he viewed them indifferently,a tool. But he couldn't stop. He couldnt control his visions. And now... all is lost. Paul would then see someone. Or possibly halucinate. His father,leto. Paul looked at the stars and spoke "I can't stop it......so this is how it ends....." As pauls visions came,he saw futher. The great future...and the many comings of duncan. His brother almost to him and smirked "Dont worry guys....im coming home." Paul passed out. He need but will himself to live. But didnt. Upon the verdant world of dune...paul would be silent. And the kwizats haderach would die. But not without knowing...the future of dark omens...

The Blade Runner Love scene is the height of her beauty. "Say kiss me".
She was a hot drunk back then too...get with her and a couple bottles of wine, you could have a party lol
Just watched dune part 2. They fixed all this.
What’d they fix? Everything seemed more or less the same except for the little girl and Paul’s voice having more power.
No rain.
@@faisalmemon285 sorry I must’ve missed the part in Dune 2 when it magically fucking rains everywhere for no reason
Rain in one area of the planet wouldn't kill all of the worms on Dune. I don't think its assumed that its raining everywhere on the planet. Even in the latter books something like 80% of the planet becomes green while the worms still exist in 20%.
The Fremen have the catchbasins of water waiting to terraform and stuff. But they are careful not to kill off the worms with it. Saving it at the Arrakis Dime Water Debt Savings Bank for the right day.....
That much rainfall on that terrain would be devastating. The time to saturation would be so short that floods would drown a lot of the people that can't swim or don't have boats or can't reach higher ground
Also the worms probably wouldn't love it
This last scene with the rain wasn't in the theatrical version I watched in 1984. It was later added to the VHS release.
I have the DVD and it is theatrical version, the only version that has Lynch as the director, and the rain scene is in it. The other versions were for TV and are Alan Smithee. The scenes show here are actually from an alternate version. In Lynch's version, when we zoom into Paul's eyes, we see the oceans of his home planet. The rain scene is also much shorter. Some theatre version had cuts in it due to ratings, but obviously rain wouldn't be cut for ratings.
The rain scene is absolutely terrible and wasn't part of Lynch's original vision for the film. I wonder what brainless studio moron thought this was a good idea.
"For he is the quiz arts hat rack!"
Perhaps a more hopeful ending than the actual canon,...Dune 2 had a perfect ending that is FAR better than this.
I was so disappointed with the ending of Dune 2..
@@dafelz1 why? It’s more faithful. Dune isn’t about cheesy fairy tale happy endings
The music is biblical…and then it gets even more biblical right at the last moment! 😮. This it has in common with its 2024 cousin’s ending
my favorite movie I know almost all the words to every scene. The cheesiness makes it awesome
Such a savage scene. I can kill with a word
"Why does everybody hates the original dune? Its a classic!"

You know alot of people said this movie was shit but when It came out when I was a kid i loved it. I still do because it's part of a nostalgic memory for me.
Same hier
Same
Lynchs Dune is 40 years old legend, and we are still talking about it, last Dune is 1 year old and nobody give shit, comercial shit with aquaman
All that rain in the desert must of coused a lot of humidity.
This is the first movie I ever payed for and now it’s in my collection
I think Paul was a “Super Empath”. That killing blow with his words makes me think of the famous, “Empathic Supernova”.
Frank Herbert: wanted to show the dangers of fanaticism and warn against worshipping charismatic leaders.
David Lynch: “One cannot go against the word of God!”
Zack Snyder: this guy ubderstand me. Gods deserve respect! In my dune Paul would have beeig the messiah too with slow mo and lens flares in the back ground.
@@motor4X4kombat”my version of Paul Atreides could get r*ped in prison”
The costumes and settings still stand the test of time and cgi.
I just finished the Spice Diver Edition fan edit of Dune (on TH-cam) and I found it to have the best narrative of any version of the movie I've ever seen, and it doesn't change the book by raining at the end, which would kill the sand worms. That version I can safely recommend to anyone without fear of letting them down with a seriously flawed movie...I can finally call the movie a masterpiece... AND it's right here on TH-cam!
I have yet to see the Spice Diver version nor the new 2021 version, but how would the Diver version compare to the Villeneuve 2021 version? I had read the Dune novel in 1983 so I knew what was going on when I saw the movie in 1984.
@@robwebnoid5763 Believe it or not, the Spicediver version holds up very well to the new movie. Thufir and Gurney are given less time in the new movie and then just disappear (but new Duncan is better), and so far no guild navigators. Also, Spicediver gives Paul and his father more time together, hence a deeper relationship. Leto actually lives past 90 minutes into it. Of course, things could change after part 2 and all the new character reveals (in a couple of years), but I'm definitely returning to Spicediver on a regular basis... And I do prefer the new Chani...

Actually a great film adaptation of an immensely influential work of science fiction. If a bit disjointed and choppy in spots, they did an admirable job with incredibly intricate and complex material. The film, however, admittedly makes the mistake of assuming far too much of a knowledge base on the part of the viewer. If you've read and absorbed the novels, you know exactly what is going on, even with the unavoidable gaps forced by the constraints of squeezing an encompassing epic into a two and a half hour film. To the uninitiated, it was a muddled and unintelligible mess, and many who saw the movie simply had no idea what in the living hell was going on at any point. This l have to admit was understandable, as much as l love the source material and appreciate the film.
When I saw this in the theater at initial release, they handed out cheat sheets (from the filmmakers) with names, houses, and definitions of commonly used terms to help make sense of things to first timers. Wish I had had the good sense to hold onto mine.
Yeah truly that should be worth something about now
Indeed! (..and, Well spoke, Frank..)
Yep, that's exactly right. It's essentially a movie for people who already know the story. As for everyone else, well, tough shit, I guess.
Cha'akh'sa is Fremen for tough shit lol
You looked this up after seeing Dune part 2? 😄
this version is quite better adaptation of a book
@@skanalakaa140Well, apart from the fact that they just killed all the worms by making it rain on Arrakis, and the film completely missing the point of the book by making Paul a good guy.
hahaha in rain issues you are certainly right@@theblah12
Of course the new version is FANTASTIC. But Lynch told the story in 2 hours, and I still love it, and all of its quirkiness. "Put the pick in there pete. Turn it round really neat!"
"Of course the new version is FANTASTIC." Why "of course?" It's PC and boring, dominated by computer graphics (ironicaly).
@@polemerosPC because they had too many women for you? I wouldn't even say it's boring, even if you don't like it, it's hard to call it boring. And CGI isn't automatically bad, and it's used well in the movies (hell, the novels portray and removal of societal growth like computers as a bad thing, so it's not like it's going against Frank's wishes by having computers involved in making an adaptation).
@@selinawalsh9075 "PC because they had too many women for you?" Another estrogenic narcissist victim.
@@polemeros Have you even watched the new adaptations? Another victim of red pill propaganda.
@@zzz7103 I have watched Part One. My response is my own. Your faulty assumptions show that YOU are the victim of another kind of propaganda.
That's why I love to play Atreides on Dune 2000💙
How the fuck did David Lynch manage to turn the ending of Dune into the ending of Ben-Hur?!?
That pompous ay hole Sting getting a crysknife thru the face, priceless.
One of the best movies ever made.
one of the movies ever made
Oh, god 🙄
No it is not. It's one of the worst.
Water is deadly to sandworms. Rain will kill the spice cycle, stranding every human colony across the known universe, throwing mankind into a new dark age with no space travel.
That version of Paul is even less heroic than the one in the books, and yet displays him most triumphantly.
It's either Lynch's biggest misunderstanding or best set-up middle finger, but either way, it's hilarious.
That had to sting
Parts of the planet ,will remain arid . Worms survive, yeah !
Knowing the lore of the sandworm, I just realize that last scene is paul massacring the entire population of sandworm in Arrakis - essentially dooming the universe.
Slight change from the books ending.. .. Atreides becomes Emperor and unleashes the Freman on a religious crusade that slaughtered billions and turned numerous planets to dust.
did ANYONE actually read this book, let alone the sequels, before they made this movie? Fuck.
I like the way Everett McGill says "Muad'Dib" at 0:16.

Believe me the commercials didn't do it justice. They taste great. But for some reason everytime I take a bite I hear eat at Paul's place.
I must of seen this movie no less than 20 times... Still at 46 yo, my favorite Scifi movie of all times.
The ending here always gives my brain and body Chills.
When he Broke open FEYD body, I cant get over how his own mother Looked Terrified!❤️
Like God, "What have I BIRTHED. "
But at the same time standing there with a look of the NEW Universe Royal. And when Alia looks up at him before he makes it rain❤️❤️❤️
No movie in the world strikes up so many emotions like this one!

At 0:02 to 0:05, if you listen closely you can hear Feyd’s last breathing after having the knife jammed up under his neck.

r.i.p worms
And then all of the worms on Dune died and spice production ended cause water KILLS THEM.
tatum ergo They make the spice
Years,years later,a man had sat down somewhere in the dunes. A broken man,older,the mans eyes were spice blue,he was paul. Usul,paul muad,dib. Or once known...as paul atreides. The kwizats haderach was in sorrow. He failed. His plan to stop all this madness while working with the fremen,failed. Death would claim him soon enough. But as paul sat,he had visions...oh the visions...at 1st he viewed them indifferently,a tool. But he couldn't stop. He couldnt control his visions. And now... all is lost. Paul would then see someone. Or possibly halucinate. His father,leto. Paul looked at the stars and spoke
"I can't stop it......so this is how it ends....."
As pauls visions came,he saw futher. The great future...and the many comings of duncan. His brother almost to him and smirked
"Dont worry guys....im coming home."
Paul passed out. He need but will himself to live. But didnt. Upon the verdant world of dune...paul would be silent. And the kwizats haderach would die. But not without knowing...the future of dark omens...
What is the music playing over this scene? Is it on the original soundtrack?
0:26 Dune Messiah would like to have some words about those statements.
Frank Herbert was a brainiac genius, his intelligence must have been off the charts
This is not how intelligence works.
“Where there was war, Muad’Dib would bring peace!”
Literally everyone who actually knows Dune: *”ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?!”*
Message of new movies “being a profit is dangerous”
Message if lynch dune “one cannot go against the word of god”
I stood on my feet and yelled out loud when Sting got killed !
oh sting, where is thy death?
He played a rat bastard harkonnen and did so very well I might add
“Amen to that.... if GOD be for me.... who shall go against me!”🙏😌
So they were all Christians?
I could let many things go, but the "My name is killing word" thing...never.
“Where there was War, Muad’Dib would bring peace” uhhhhh…..
