- I cannot stop thinking about Dune Part 2 ever since I stepped out of the theater. I've got so much to say about it and I just felt like rambling just so I could get it off my chest. This is one of the greatest adaptations I've ever seen and as a fan of the book I love what they did here. Denis Villeneuve is one of my favorite directors ever and he is truly one of the best filmmakers of our time. He does such an amazing job of adapting Frank Herbert's material and he takes it in some new and exciting directions. I've got a lot to say so I hope you enjoy my initial thoughts and analysis.
#dune #film #books
This pretty different from what I usually post on here but I just really wanted to get my initial thoughts out there. I usually have scripts for videos but I enjoyed just doing a chaotic ramble this time around. Hope you enjoy it! Have a great day!
Now, listen to the 20 hour audiobook of Dune about 5 times, at 2x speed. Once you've had a certain amount of spice, you'll need more. Mwahahaha!
I listened to it twice last year and just finished children of dune last week. I’m breaking it up with some GOT prequel books, but on to god emperor soon.
Top 10 films all time right here
Read and loved all six books
Most immersive cinematic experience since Return of the King. So many wonderful, beautiful and unforgettable moments throughout
There’s a deleted scene from Dune 1984 that came out recently, a really excellent scene with Alia, I would recommend looking it up. I agree she’s just about the best part of it 😁
Obsessed with Dune? Welcome to the club, pal. Been that way for me since I played _Dune 2000_ on my PSX and ended up reading the first novel.
That Stilgar reveal!!! 😆 Great video.
I was trying to keep him hidden for so long lol
Again, outstanding job. I have watched hundreds of reviews and this was one of the best.@@LavenderRex7705
I came to the TH-cams searching for exactly this type of thing to give voice to my newfound Dune love. Your video was both entertaining and inspiring to me, and have subsequently enjoyed many of your other videos. Don’t be afraid to do off the cuff stuff like this. Sometimes the raw energy/passion is best captured in real time.
I think I’m definitely gonna do this style of video for after I complete the Dune Saga. I have to read Heretics next and then Chapterhouse so I might do that video in a month or two.
As about as good as you can get when it comes to adaptations. Movie is top shelf
My favorite change from the book was Chani. You can tell Denis thought way more about her character than Herbert did.
I think a lot of the designs for the harkonnens especially are probably kind of inspired by a lot of sci-fi art and comics from people like philippe druillet. the movie doesn't have the same vivid color pallette but I think I could see the resemblence.
Giedi Prime’s architecture also pulls a lot from the original Giger concept art! The film pulls from a lot of really cool sci-fi art that isn’t as dominant in today’s mainstream.
Of course! I really love that sort of sci-fi art that just has biomechanical wires and curves and stuff.
Rex... I thought you would know better than to get obsessed with spice. Whats next Jersey Girls? What has gotten into you? Where are my Dark Souls videos? What would Soprano think...Do better!!!!
I’ve lost my focus… I’m sorry Mr. Soprano.
Somebody had a good point that old Christopher Walken works well against Paul's youth. I don't mind him but his lines delivery was just like him and it took me a bit out of the film😂
That’s definitely fair! I personally have an easy time enjoying anything Walken does.
Me too dude
Paul uses the Atreides secret stach of nukes to demolish the shield wall.

I recommend you the books or audiobooks, also the old Movie version from the 80s, with the alternative ending.
I am become Dune
-OB
It is written
i've really tried. i read the book some years ago and tried to read it again recently. seen both of the movies. i feel nothing towards any of it. i chalk it up to you had to like it as a kid.
Well I can’t say I agree since my first exposure to Dune was when I was well into highschool.
It's a cold book, there's little to no emotion and it's all very cerebral and requires thinking. The characters are also verging on archetypes, in order to convey an idea to the reader. Add in that there's literally no wasted sentence in the book, every sentence means something... It's a thinking person's book, so if you don't like that, it's fine.
@@Kyljys-pt4up "requires thinking" i also forgot to mention how the fanbase is insufferable.
@@timehusk It's funny that you find that offensive. Might want to check your attitude. I actually meant it as a negative. There's a lot good things about Dune, and almost all of them are bad for good story. A good story doesn't "require thinking", it tends to just emotionally impact you and maybe make you think. If the story requires thinking to be enjoyable, there's a question whether it's a story or a textbook.
@@Kyljys-pt4up i'm sure you're right but you also come off as a pompous prick.
you're real af for this video like this is exactly how i felt coming out of it for the first time. like my heart was racing, i was out of breath, my mind was running a marathon fr. just exhilarating, I'm really glad that movies like this are still getting made
“The movies are back!” as some would say.
This movie really sucks you into the Dune universe leaving you hungry for more, all the pre history stuff is so fascinating!
Its over Lavender Rex is now Dune Pilled 🥵
The sleeper has awakened
remember in the first movie when Paul kills Jamis? The bene gesserit naration says "when you take a life, you take your own." The taking of life changes Paul. Now contrast that with Feyd. Its on his birthday. with his bald head in the strange lighting when he screams he looks like a newborn baby. The doors opening to let him into the arena have a distinctly vaginal nature to them. Paul's life "ends" when he kills Jamis. But for Feyd he sees it as a beginning
Well said. I’ve seen quite a lot about that door and its shape and I definitely agree!
@LavenderRex7705 oh good because I pointed it out when the trailer dropped and my wife thought I was crazy
good stuff, i think you should make more of these
I’m definitely considering doing this again because mind maps are a ton of fun!
My dude me too, I loved the movie so much I imediatly bought the first tie in book. Im now reafing 100 pages per day and im absolutly loving it, im on page 600 rn and even my brother is reading it. Now my youtube recomendations have been filled with dune haaaaaaaaa.
Yeah I'm in a similar spot too lol. I'm already on the third book of the series!
Is that photo of D.V. in the thumbnail real?! Because goddamn, LOL.
This is one of the best analyses of Dune 1.2 I've seen [1]!
About House Harkonnen, great observation about their vehicles being parasite insect-like. Personally, I think their giant air balloons look like an abnormal set of testicles. The central ship when Rabban tries to attack the Maud'Dib looks like a giant flea. In BTS interviews, Jacqueline West, the customer designer, explicitly states that the Harkonnen clothing style is bug-like.
I love how much of a freak F.R. is in this adaptation. He looks like he's close to orgasming when Paul contemptuously stabs the Baron in the neck.
*Footnote*
[1] I've been a Dunehead since witnessing D.V.'s Dune 1.1, so I've worked out many of the observations in this video as well. But I'm glad you uploaded your thoughts, because hopefully it'll help to grow the fandom.
Exactly, I wasn't book reader much but now i can't dune anything but reading dune books
I really LOVE your style of video... and your way of talking.. Watching from Assam, India..🤩😍
Edit: SORRY I LAUGHED SO HARD AT BALD LITTLE F*SCISTS GO OFF YOU'RE RIGHT OG Comment: Not me hearing the "f" word at 7ish minutes and mourning that this dude might one day not make some cash off this cool conversational video. My brain is Ridiculous so I watched at 1.75 speed to understand what you were saying (ADD) but your style is cool and genuine. Hope to hear your thoughts on the books specifically or anything else Dune! I'm a few hours into the 1st audiobook. Thanks!
I loved it EXCEPT for the Marvel humour. The hard jump cut to Stilgar talking excitedly about the Mahdi’s humility made me cringe a bit
I agree on every single word and also finally someone who understands the potrayal of the emperor the way I understood It! To me Christopher Walken did the perfect portrayal of this man who takes for granted his power and privilege then all of a sudden, surprise! the ballad of the thin man started playing in my head “Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. Shaddam IV?“
26:25 I just so happened to listen to a podcast narrating the origins of Gengis Khan and all the circumstances that led him to power and I kept thinking there are so many similarities with the story of Paul Atreides! Like so many!
i saw it 2 hours ago perfect timing
There was literally nothing erotic about that final fight. Weird projection.
Feyd is a freak and loves violence so I really don't see it as much of a projection on my end especially given the fact that Feyd and Paul were supposed to have kids together.
You should read the books if you’re finding Dune for the first time.
I am reading them. I’m almost done with Messiah.
@@LavenderRex7705Sweet. That one is depressing as hell 😆
POV you didn’t watch his video
@@LavenderRex7705 a lot of people drop off halfway through Messiah, including myself the first time. It only gets weirder from there too haha.
You perfectly formulated what I had hard time putting into words. I am in love with the story all over again. I had to re-watch the Children of dune miniseries with James McAvoy just to ride the high and pretend we have the third/fourth movie. 😀
If you liked reading dune you should try the Red Rising series, i would highly recommend
agree overall, cool movie but bc it doesnt have -my favourite- the objectively best scene (little girl disrespecting the emperor and stabbing people) only 9/10
(might be 11/10 for the next one though if it gets epic little girl action)
