Star Wars is inspired by Dune which was written in the 1960’s. Congrats to the legendary Hans Zimmer for getting his second Oscar for the best score for Dune
They need to give him another one for Dune 2 as well.
Dune was inspired by Foundation, it was written between 1942-1950.
@RandomNPC001 Herbert's original draft was just basically Lawrence of Arabia, which he was a huge fan of the story and myth around it and it was a massive influence on Dune. He realised it was basically just a copy of the story so he changed some parts of it.
Wtf only 2?!? He’s really only won 2 Oscars?!? I’ve never put attention on the scoreboard but it’s wild he’s only won 2.
He makes the best scores to sooooooo many movies. I love his style. It really moves me every time.
and Game of Thrones is inspired by Dune.
For context, the dream sequences are possible futures that Paul is seeing.
No. Not at this moment. Every vision is correct and is just a simple metaphore. Dont know why so many people dont get it. Its literally said: You must kill to kill your old self. With every other vision its the same.
I liked Hannah's theory about the time traveling though
Also the way I interpreted the one at the end was that it was more of a metaphor. Him getting stabbed was the death of the person he was before killing Jamis, as the voices say in the vision that “for the quizach haderack to rise, Paul atreides must die” and “to take a life, you must give up your own.” In a way paul is a different person after killing Jamis, and the old Paul is dead.
He's looking for that golden path...
@@richarddimeck4578 Golden like a shower.
Some clarifications - Leto is the father of Jessica’s 2nd baby. She didn’t cheat. The blue eyes just come from exposure to spice. Paul sees possible futures not definite futures. He used the vision of himself dying to figure out how to win the fight. No one is time travelling. The Voice does not enable Paul to move gigantic objects with his mind. He still is not good enough to even influence a person properly yet. Ash is onto something about how menacing Paul looked in the visions of the future.
bruh they dim af
@@Suremane it’s a tough movie to do an entertaining reaction too because if you talk too much you miss a lot. So I think that’s what happened. Hannah is usually incredibly perceptive!
@@Suremane😂😂😂 it was frustrating to watch tbh
Paul of course sees possible futures. But more than that, in Amtal, the fremen you kill lives through you. In the book, Paul come to 'inherit' this man's wife and property. Because of that, to see Paul getting stabbed or Paul stabbing him are the same thing.
You guys are my favourite reactors. In fact, you are the reason I started watching reactions. Having said that this reaction was hard to watch. It was like seeing two people clowning whilst watching the Godfather. It was disappointing. Please, please, please rewatch this movie, preferably more than once, before seeing Dune part two. I read this book when I was 14. It is to science fiction what Lord of the Rings is to fantasy. This is a very complex movie that requires 100% of your attention. Dune parts one and two is a SINGLE book. This isn't the best sci-fi movie of the year. Together parts one and two are the best fucking movie made in decades.
HBO just released a prequel trailer for a Dune series focused on the Bene Gesserit. As it's a series and not a film I'm hoping Hannah will do the reactions on her channel. BTW, loving GoT and Stranger Things reactions.
Oh yeah Ash, you missed a HUGE "symbolism." The bull's head. The old Duke, Leto's father, was killed by that bull while bull fighting it. They hung it up to remind them of death and hubris. They took it with them to Arrakkis. It symbolises the fact that Duke Leto's death is fated and inevitable.
Remember, his visions aren't always exactly true. They vary - different possible futures, sometimes symbolic. Sometimes only partly true. "Do things happen just as you dream them?"... "Not exactly."
My dreams have exactly come true a handful of times.😊
They watched the movie a month ago, this is old footage of them.
Why do people post advice? They've even seen the second movie.
It's pointless
Also seeing your future can change what will happen.
In the book, it's explained that Paul doesn't just see the future but can see all possible futures. Every outcome branching and changing from every decision he makes. 😯
He eventually has to do terrible things because if he doesn't, the future outcomes are even worse, to the tune of hundreds of billions of people dying
"Maybe he's not the messiah, maybe he's the devil." One could say that there is a bit of overlap between the two. Ash figured out the theme of Dune halfway through Part 1.
I mentioned this in my comment! Ash totally got it in that part of the film!
Anyone with half a neuron can. There was no need to treat the audience as 5 year olds.
@@di3486 That's why Herbert wrote Messiah, cause SOOO many people missed that point... get outta here
There is nothing to figure out though? It's very much meant to be explicit lol
@@EcopiuM In the movie, yes, which is the point, some hand holding needed for general audience. The book is not so clear, especially for younger readers. Hence Messiah doing for the first book what Dennis did for the movie
Paul basically killed himself by killing Jamis. In the books there's a part, Jamis's funeral. Jamis's friends say something good about him. Then everyone wants Paul to say something nice about Jamis. Paul starts to cry, everyone is in shock cause they don't waste their body liquids even for crying. They whisper in shock "Look, he is giving water to the dead". And Paul speaks with a shaken voice "Jamis was my friend. He taught me that there is a price for killing someone."
Gosh I love that part! I wish they could show us that scene in the second movie.
Amen was so looking forward to that in part 2 and disappointed it didn't show, would've added so much to Paul's character development and also Fremen culture.
Dune is still practically impossible to film properly..
@@johncspine2787 I agree with you. I thought the same way when I was reading the books but still they could show that part in the movie don't you think? 😅
@@johncspine2787 Not entirely impossible. 3 things need to happen, 1) it needs to be a 10 episode series like Shogun.
2) is the showrunners have to agree to totally respect the source material and not let their personal political beliefs and opinions get in the way of the authors original vision.
3) You need the right director who's style mirrors the style of the book. Villeneuve didn't know how to handle the internal dialogue/poker face nature of Dune because he's visually orientated. He wanted to make it entertaining to the lowest common denominator and part 2 is what we got in the end. An almost Marvelization/parody of the source material. And people still root for Paul Atreides which is hilarious because it's the one thing he didn't want to happen. Despite spoon feeding the audience "paul is bad paul is bad paul is bad"
@@enriquepelenato4956 These things could help ofcourse. But some events in the books are sooo mindblowing even when you read them like; internal dialogs, some of Paul's visions and thoughts, Jessica-Alia relationship etc. That's why I agreed Dune can't be done properly -at least in my opinion.
But so many things could've shown us too. Sadly movie time is not enough like you said 😔
"Middle Eastern moms don't even need The Voice, they just give you a look."
LMFAOOOO
“He’s a churchill that hovers and daddy long legs with a beer belly” IM DED 😭😂
You're comment about Middle Eastern moms is on point since that's basically how Frank Herbert explained the voice: a super refined and perfected version of how people close to you can speak to you in a particularly convincing (manipulative) way.
or sometimes when you're in public.... "the look"
Or politicians specifically
@@jamedraa8472 A look from my mother who almost never lifted a finger would fill me with terror when my frequent belting father's raised voice wouldn't.
@@charlie7mason I Believe it!
@@charlie7masonrelatable!!
What I've always liked about Paul is that instead of the old trope of a "hero" trying to find his potential, he already knows his potential, he's terrified of it and his choices.
Also, as a big fan of the books, I truly believe that we finally have the movie it deserves and can't wait for you guys to watch Part Two.
I bought the books AFTER seeing part 1 & 2 !! I discovered Dune through Denis Villeneuve's work. I'm really excited to read them. Now that I know what this universe LOOKS like, reading will be even better.
@@iCortex1 Great books, some small changes but i think Villeneuve did about as good as you could translating these books to films.
The books are amazing and, big
my only regret about this whole adaption is that we're highly unlikely to get GEOD. That, for me, is by far the best book in the series and gave me the ultimate "holy shit" moments
@@iCortex1 If you read the first book and don't like it, there's something wrong with you. If you like it, then stop there. If you LOVE it, then you have 5 more to read. 1 is a well-contained story, but 2-6 lead into one another too much to stop and they're a huge commitment and full of even more Herbert weirdness. If you didn't vibe hard with the first one, you'll lose steam somewhere through the sequels
All that said: God Emperor of Dune is uncontested as my favorite of the series and probably my second favorite book of all time (behind 1984 and ahead of LOTR: The Two Towers)
"This is how I want my movies to end, 1 on 1 fight to the death." heheheh OH MATE.
Their reaction to part 2 is going to be amazing.
FEYD RAUUUTHAAAAA
FEYDD RAUUUTHAAAA
FEYDD RAUUUTHAAAA
Ash is right about the spitting. The desert people value bodily fluid above money because it's how they survive. Sacrificing some of your body's moisture is a sign of honoring someone in their culture. It's a greeting. The king's bodyguard simply didn't understand at first.
Don't forget that, in the book, Paul CRIES after having killed Jamis. This causes the Fremen who witnessed the fight to become overwhelmed with awe and reverence; the idea of someone spilling their own body's moisture like that is so unthinkable, but Paul does it freely and for a stranger.
This cements in their minds that he might just be the "Lisan al Gaib."
In the book, it's explained that Freman are taught to have sex without wasting fluids. So, Ash is right.
Dune 2 will lead you to paradise
Ash gonna be yelling Lisan Al-Gaib from the rooftop I just know it lmao
@@jagdtony Bi-lal Kaifa!
Lisa al giab
Long live the fighters
My cousin gave me the book Dune to read, I think in 1972. The book was THICK! He gave me a ‘rule of thumb’, an abbreviated idea to put certain things into perspective. The Imperial troops, the Sardaukar, lived in a brutal and savage planet that created an army of super soldiers who had no concept of defeat or retreat. Their psyche and their world were turned upside down when they encountered the Fremen of Arrakis. The Fremen lived in a more brutal and more savage world than that of the Sardaukar. Even a Fremen child was a match for a fully trained Sardaukar. It wasn’t that simple, but that is what my cousin told me to prepare me for Dune. NOTHING could prepare me for Dune! Lasers are not used because of personal shields. Lasers hitting shields result in a ‘nuclear’ explosion. So every one uses knives and swords instead. Because of their own version of war against Skynet, no droids or computers are allowed.
It's kind of funny that Hannah keeps calling it mind power like it's the force. It's literally called "the voice."
I think a misunderstanding is that Lady Jessica had Paul just as part of a plan. As the Reverend Mother said, she was told only to produce daughters. She in-fact only had Paul because she loved Duke Leto so much and knew he desperately wanted a son. It was only later that she realised he could possibly be the one and The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood began meddling. Jessica is seen as a disgrace to the order because she didn’t do as she was told. Then she starts pursing the fact that Paul might be the Kwisatz Haderach as a means of ensuring that he survives.
Also she never allowed Leto to marry her despite him wanting to because she knew that if she remained his concubine it would put house Atreides in a more powerful position as other houses would think they could make an alliance through marriage. IMO she gets a bad rap but I honestly feel that she does her best out of love for Leto and Paul.
To be fair, Dr Yueh's deception needed a bit more context in the movie. He already knew his wife was dead, or being tortured, so he completely expected to be killed. The main goal was to get Leto in the same room as the Baron with the poison tooth so at least the two of them could get revenge.
And also so that he could get Paul and Jessica to safety
He believed his wife to be dead, but he wasn't sure she wasn't still alive and being tortured. He maneuvered the situation so he could be in the presence of the Baron and truth-read that his wife was actually dead and he could die in peace.
@@jspencer91 I don't think Imperial doctors can truth-see
@@TheJerbol His wife was Bene Gesserit and taught him enough of the basics that he was sure he could tell from the Baron is she was alive or dead
And end her wife's torture
Hanna said "She's drinking different kinds of fluid from her suit now". That one of the funniest things I've heard on a Dune reaction.
That was hilarious and I feel like Ash missed it.
Ya well a fight to the death would be extremely erotic for a woman. The very definition of why you need a brave man.
Hannah has no filter
A few very important things that the movie doesn’t explain that I’m sure others have pointed out in the comments but I’m gonna say anyways:
1. The shields are standard for warriors. They can only be penetrated by slow movement (otherwise oxygen wouldn’t be able to pass through) that’s why they don’t use guns-they were forced to go back to swords in combat. It’s also why the needle and the bombs moved so slowly when they hit the shields.
2. The gentleman who Hannah correctly described as a “human calculator” is a Mentat-they’re human calculators. There are NO computers in Dune. 10,000 years before the movie, there was a war between mankind and AI-Mankind won and all computing tech was banned. They had to train people to fulfill the role of computers.
3. The spice works by giving people premonitions. That’s why they need it for interstellar travel. Using the kind of engine they use for hyperspace travel is VERY dangerous-it’s just as likely you’ll fly into a star or a planet as it is that you’ll get where you need to go. The guild navigators, a group that has a monopoly on space travel, use the spice to briefly see into the future to safely plot interstellar routes.
Honestly, all three of these things should have been made more clear by Villeneuve and the screenwriters.
They probably did made it more clear but the studios always pressure directors to cut more of their film in the edit so some parts just couldn't make it to the final picture @dereknolin5986
@@Parsa_m Well, when Villeneuve was asked if he would ever release an extended edition with extra scenes, he said no, he made the movie he wanted to make. So I'm not sure the studio twisted his arm that much. I think it's more that he has a complete aversion to any kind of exposition through dialogue, even though sometimes I think you need to just have a character explain things.
Also...
4. That laser gun (lasgun) isn't used everywhere because if it comes in contact with a shield, it causes a reaction akin to a small nuclear device. If there's any chance a shield is being used, even thinking about using a lasgun is flirting with suicide
@@dereknolin5986 You're living in the era of terrible corporate Disney movies that explain every single detail to the viewer like dumb children. We don't need that, nor does it actually make a film better. less is more sometimes.
"I recognize you" by Stilgar only meant, that he saw the signs of prophecy coming alive.
When Stilgar spits it’s a gesture of good will because on Arrakis every drop of water counts
Water is so important that they don’t cry when someone has died, they conserve every tear.
Frank Herbert wrote six ‘Dune’ novels. I read them all. This movie covers exactly half of book one. Let that sink in…
I love seeing people’s reactions to the throat singing opening 😂
Villeneuve really fucking killed it with that. Right from the jump he's like "This is going to be weird, pound you with STRONG aesthetics, and draw you in the entire time"
Yea Paul's visions aren't always accurate. He isn't time traveling. His visions are just possible futures.
"Spice is like, oil basically"
Frank Herbert has said that his book is practically a metaphor for the West's involvement in the Middle East. You caught that immediately lol
Ash actually got a ton of the concepts bang on in this. Impressive, i must say. Most reactors assume such basic stuff lately.
It was not even a subtle allegory! When I read it as a kid in the 80s, I only knew that it was a classic sci-fi book. But after a couple of chapters I was like "Oh, it's about oil."
It also has metaphysical properties akin to psilocybin..hence the blue color..
There's no time traveling in Dune. Paul is having unclear premonitions--he's seeing possible futures, but he doesn't see all the possible futures yet. If he realizes his full powers as the kwisatz haderach, the chosen one, he'll be able to see all possible futures as well as the past memories of all his ancestors.
Denis Villeneuve movies are just 🤌 and Hans Zimmer killed it with the score once again. What a masterpiece!
Denis can't miss. His whole career has been impeccable.
Except for Arrival which is horrible
@@louisburke8927 Nope.. Arrival is amazing
@@louisburke8927 you've got to be joking? Arrival is amazing
@@louisburke8927 Bait uses to be believable.
He fell short with the script for this one, though.
Highly recommend ARRIVAL by the same director/filmmaker! It’s just as cinematic and AMAZING!!!
Meh, that movie sniffs its own farts.
@@jawbone78 Only someone that sniffs its own farts would say something like this.
Arrival was too much of a grief fest. Sure the sci-fi was decent. The aliens were kinda interesting. Just wasn't inspiring nor did it have any kind of cool message other than bs about losing loved ones (much like Interstellar, now I think about it).
@@TedBrogan Hahahahaha you clearly didn't understand the movie at all.
@@shaneth138 course I did. It just didn't impact me that much.
It's really like a 5+ hour movie cut into 2 parts.
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."
The Bene Gesserit Sisterhood trains females to control every muscle fiber, every nerve, every organ. They learn to notice minutiae in other people (the twitch of an eyelid, the tiny momentary pursing of the lips, a tremor in the hands, a droplet of sweat on the brow) to know when someone is lying, telling the truth, trying to manipulate you, etc. This is why they are Truthsayers. They don’t train males, which is why the Reverend Mother was angry with Jessica training him. Paul has also been trained as a Mentat, the human computers. He is the whole package.
Baron Harkonnen is a human (there are only humans) but is so immensely obese that he needs to use suspensor technology to levitate around. Gurney Halleck says the Harkonnens “aren’t human, they’re brutal” as a figure of speech, everyone is human. He bathes in the black goo to heal from the poison gas attack.
Voice is a Bene Gesserit skill that requires using exactly the right pitch, tone, volume, emphasis to make other people obey automatically without thinking. They can’t do that to sandworms because there’s no pitch and tone that a worm can hear.
You cannot use lasers around shields. They both use subatomic technology and if you hit a shield with a lasgun it causes a subatomic explosion on both ends which would destroy both parties and everyone nearby. Imperial Law states that if you use atomics on a human population, the Emperor will destroy your entire planet.
God, I love these posts. Hard core sci-fi is one of the greatest things in this world.
Hannah: "We know what's gonna happen to the characters in the next movie"
Us: "Nope"
😂
Hannah wanted to say by this that many characters will die and she is right
Can't wait for part 2. It's even better. It's incredible.
I was so worried for Denis when BladeRunner 2049 failed at box offices, while the movie itself was outstanding. I'm so glad he got the money to shoot Dune which he was a big fan of.
47:22 It's actually the other way around. Dune was written in 1965. Star Wars and Game of Thrones were inspired by Dune.
The spitting is a sign of HIGH respect. Because Fremen don't want to waste moisture in their bodies whatsoever. Unless it's extremely important. They don't even cry when people die. So spitting is legit.
this is the couple that fights loudly at the bar with each other the whole night and then graphically make out in the alley 😂
Frank Herbert- the writer of the Dune series- threw some shade at Star Wars in one of his later books, describing a cheap knock-off of fine, rare furniture as a C3-PO.
That's what I call those gold Trump Tennis shoes.
That sounds made up
@@di3486It's actually true.
Ash watching dune for the first time for 20 min and quitting was the biggest L of his life
Was it tho? Thanks to that we got to see his blind reaction for the channel😅 so it all happened for a reasom
@@justjdnl hahaha thats true
"[This movie's] been inspired by so many things"
Nah bro, this book _inspired_ everything you're thinking of
they ain't the brightest my dude
And what it didn't inspire in Sci-Fi films was inspired by Jodorowski's failed Dune project.
@@nur418777 now that's a stretch
It does not matter how long a film is, if it is a CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE it will be watched fully through lmao. And not even 5 minutes in and Ash has fully triggered Hannah haha you gotta love it!
It is shit
15 second vids that create tiktok brains that will see the runtime and want to run away 😂
Just for clarification, when Paul and Jessica got taken by the Harkonnens and the deaf guy has a high pitched and slightly "childlike" voice, it's cos he's deaf and he doesn't know what he sounds like. Same reason deaf people often use sign language despite being able to speak
Hanna: "They're gonna have to ride the worm."
Ash: "How are they going to ride it?"
me: (evil laughter)
Funny how both this and MAD MAX: FURY ROAD (both from the same studio (Warner Bros.) by the way) both got 10 nominations and won 6 Oscars each and the sequel and prequel respectively to each of them are releasing only 2 months apart this year.
I am so excited for Furiosa
"She passes... barely." Couldn't agree more. Never understood the fuz...
In case you didnt notice. Its a DENIS VILLENEUVE movie. Same director who did, Arrival, Sicario, Prisoners, Enemy, Blade runner 2049. And yes he is in love with the book and that was his dream project for more than 40 years.
Another absolute banger of a reaction from my two favorite people on the internet. I have to say, I find it absolutely amazing that Hannah talks at the beginning about how she loves the channel because she was never able to watch movies before but then completes a nearly three hour long movie from the edge of her seat. Both of your reactions were great. I can't wait to see your reaction to the second movie!
I love that dynamic about her, too. She's so on board. Ash is a lucky duck, you have to admit. 😂
The Fremen have mastered the most powerful martial arts move in history, pocket sand.
The fact Dale calls out his attacks proves KOTH is an anime.
The first dune is a really well done film, really enjoyable BUT dune part 2 will absolutely blow you away! It’s a shame you couldn’t watch it in theaters, watching that film when it came out was the best cinema experience I’ve had in many many years
I literally saw this in an imax theatre the last day it was showing. We were there by ourselves, and the sound was so loud my ears were sore afterwards. But it was INCREDIBLE.
Just so y'all know, the baron (fat bald guy) isn't the emperor. The emperor was not show in part 1. You'll see him in part 2!
Timothée Chalamet absolutely KILLS IT in the role of Paul Atreides! (Can't day I'm surprised though, he absolutely KILLS IT in every role he plays.) 💜
The speech he gives to the Fremen in part 2 is worthy of an Oscar in my opinion !! Kid has talent for sure.
Not hating on your opinion. IMHO he over acts and goes from 100 to zero scene to scene in part 2. I wasn't a huge fan of his acting. But again nothing wrong with yours.
9:06 "Human calculator". Again, wow. I've been a fan of the Dune novels since 1986. One of the things I was worried about was how non-Dune fans would catch onto the subtleties. You two have restored my faith in humanity.
Thufir is the Atreides mentat, Piter de Vries is the Harkonnen’s. Piter is the one who figured out how to get Yueh to betray the Atreides.
In this movie Piter is played by David Dastmalchian, in honestly what I think is a really excellent performance. I would have loved for him to get more screen time but such is life.
Especially since the movie doesn't tell you 'what' he is aside from the visual. Its surprising that the studio didn't force Dennis to at least "Dune-splain" it with a line of dialog.
@@TedBrogan One of the great things about Part 1 is they do a lot of "show, don't tell".
For those who catch it while watching the film is great. For those who don't, they do seem to sense they're missing something, which often leads them to read the book.
COULD YOU STOP MAKING RIDICULOUS JOKES EVERY 5 MINUTES AND LOOKING AT THE CAMERA AS IF IT WERE "THE OFFICE"?
Ash did not just compare Hannah in the thumbnails to Baron Vladimir Harkonnen and his fat folds 💀 😂
Foul! 😂
The fate of the doctor's wife was worse than death, so he wasn't really joining her. She was turned into that spider thing you saw. The doctor said it himself, "they take her apart like a doll."
Can we all just applaud how convincing Josh Brolin’s acting was at 13:36 when he talks about the Harkonnens being BRUTAL. The way he said it would make you think he genuinely had fought them his entire life.
It feels like a setup for a second movie because it's a part 1. It's so satisfying watching both parts back to back.
@JUST TRUST ASH 41:00 these are actually the Sardaukar, as introduced earlier, they are the elite soldiers of the Emperor (who lend them to House Harkonnen in order to defeat the Atreides, as House Harkonnen would not have been powerful enough alone). The emperor has quite some military assets, but the Sardaukar are known throughout the galaxy as the best fighters, the strongest army, only rivaled by the most elite Atreides and, later, surpassed by the Fremen Fedaykin (the elite caste of the "Sand People"). However, the fight of Duncan Idaho (Jason Momoa) here is actually very acurate if not even underpowered, because Duncan Idaho is a swordmaster. This is basically Dune's Jedi Masters. Swordmasters are no ordinary soldiers or fighters. Only powerful noble houses could afford to have one (or at best a few) swordmaster of the highest ranks and Duncan Idaho was considered to be one of the best swordmasters that ever existed.
Dune was great, but it was like the prologue. We really get kickin' in Dune: Part Two. Part Two is my favorite movie so far this year. It's incredible.
The spitting is a gesture of respect and honor. Water is so scarce in this planet that spitting for someone, loosing some of your body’s moisture, its an honor. That’s not done for everyone.
Something so many people miss:
Dr. Yueh said they had his wife, and they took her apart and played with her, like a doll.
That spider creature in the Harkonnen scene? That's Yueh's wife. That's what they did to her.
They took her apart and put her back together, as that. That's what he was rescuing her from. An existence as something less than human.
I do not blame him.
Not confirmed at all.
4:56 "omg I don't know why I'm with you sometimes" lmao Hannah
"maybe he's the devil", "be the desert mouse", ash figureing things out early whilst hannah is clueless, there's a first time for everything
It's sad that the art directors, visual effects, designers, costume designers in the industry get to bring to life such AMAZING masterpieces and are not recognized enough. Most of the workers of those departments are in crisis.
Just more interchangeable as workers, so they can't demand the same salaries like the director, producers or actors, which drive the movie more.
You nailed it with the human calculator comment. There was a ban on computers so they had to organically enhance people to fill the role.
been waiting for you two to watch this. Can't wait to see the part 2 reaction as well! much love
I will say this, Dune requires a second and possibly third rewatching to fully appreciate what has been presented 🎉❤
It really requires just to read the book. It's too complex for a film, even one as good as this doesn't touch it.
If Jamis didn't challenge Paul, he would have gone on to be Paul's friend and mentor 😢. That was one of Paul's early visions.
the music in these films is one of the best scores I've heard in a long time
A lot of the questions you guys have were answered in this movie, as both movies are 2 parts of the first book. What was covered in this movie with no spoilers: paul sees visions, but theyre unclear, he knows someone hands him a knife, but not when or where. The blue eyes is because of spice, as mentioned at the start, we also see paul with those blue eyes in his visions. The Fremen believe in the lisan-al gaieb, which is the same thing as the bene gesserit's kwisatz haderach. The reverand mother mentions to pauls mom that theyve been working on that planet, sowing the seeds of that belief for a while now. Theres a few other things but this is too much comment for one comment
They keep talking like crazy all the freaking time, so of course they’re missing so much information that is given to them so clearly in the movie.
If I hear him compare this to Star Wars one more time when Star Wars came over a decade later, I’m going to freak out 😂 put some respect on one of the OG sci-fi novels of all time !! 💯
When they made Dune Part One, they had no contract for Part Two. Only after Part One was wildly successful, the studio asked the director to make Part Two.
that's wild as it would have been so disappointing to end this version of Dune half done.
Ash brother, I'm with you on Zendaya being just ok 😂
She is very cute I would say but not gorgeous. The wife from Matrix 3 was a REAL stunner.
Been waiting for this for a long time! Glad you got to watch it finally!
Dune is so much deeper than any star wars film
Waaaay more yes that's why I love it everything is more meaningful as well
Care to elaborate? From what I have seen it isn't exactly all its chalked up to be.
@@DazHotep6EQUJ5 Havnt seen the movie have you champ
@@DazHotep6EQUJ5you’ll get there. The worldbuilding is incredible. It’s detailed and thorough. Make sure you see part 2. Now we have to wait for Dune Messiah, that will be fantastic.
@@DazHotep6EQUJ5 It's a commentary on politics, religion, ecology, biology, AI, and economics. The movie has to focus heavily on the A-plot but most of themes are still there, they just can't explore them as deeply as the books do
Definitely read the first book and rewatch. You'll get even more out of this already fantastic movie
PLZ watch Dune Part Two right away... it's only getting better, crazier, and more insane!
Hannah and her theories are wild!!
Dune part 2 is gonna blow your minds. (No fault of part 1, it’s just that it’s part 1, so it’s mostly setup).
Oh man. Now I can't wait for Part 2! You guys are in for such a treat
The reason why they use swords and spears is because of the shield technology. The shields are so strong that bullets deflect off. Lasers actually cause nuclear explosions when they hit a shield, therefore lasers are impractical and rarely used.
Therefore you have to get in close, get under the shield with a blade.
Not sleeping till we get part 2
Great reaction guys!!!
So far you 2 have loved everything Denis Villeneuve makes. He's a Canadian Darling!
Soooooo humble and creative. This 2 part movie had been his dream to make. Ever since he read the book as a teenager.
Cant wait til next reaction. Keep up the good work. Luv ya!
This could be the first time ever I never skipped the discussion after the wathcing is over. I really enjoyed your speculations and discussions!
Ash YES! You got it right from the moment he saw the vision of a war in his name. This is about being careful in blindly following - critical thinking is essential. Here in Dune, the believers in the chosen one has the capability of creating wars. You can see the historical references (like the Spanish Inquisition). I cannot get over the brilliance of these films especially after seeing the second film, even better than the first! Great reaction guys and can’t wait to see your reaction to Dune 2! Fear is the mind killer!!!!
Just so you know The Emperor outplayed both House Atredies and House Harkonnen.
House Atredies had risen in power and had the biggest and most influential diplomatic corps of any of the houses. Their military also became highly effective and respected thanks to Duncan Idaho.
On the other hand the Harkonnen's had the biggest industrial complex of any of the houses and had amassed enormous amounts of wealth.
Both houses had risen to the point where they had nearly gained the ability to challenge the Emperor.
The Emperor did the only thing he could do, manipulate both houses and turn them against each other. It wasn't hard, animosity between House Harkonnen and House Atredies was visceral and ancient.
By giving Arrakis to House Atredies The Emperor knew that the Harkonnen's would not tolerate it. But the Harkonnen's didn't have the military capability to take on the exceptional military of House Atredies. So he allowed Duke Harkonnen to use his personal army the Sardaukar at an astronomical price.
Thereby bankrupting and crippling The Harkonnen's and exterminating House Atredies in one fell swoop....
I am not sure that the Emperor outplayed the two Houses. Seems like both Houses knew what he was doing but were not in a position to stop it right then. And looking at the long game, I am not sure that it was the right play for the Emperor either.
@@kelly9876 He definitely outplayed them. And to be fair both Duke Harkonnen and Duke Leto knew they were being manipulated. They just didn't care because they hated each other.
And in the end it didn't matter that he eliminated both House Harkonnen and House Atredies as threats, because a bunch of angry spice farmers turned out to be his downfall...
Visuals were incredible, audio was incredible, and actors were incredible. This was an amazing movie to watch in theaters as well.
Yueh knew the Harkonnens would kill his wife. He wanted them to stop torturing her.
Your speculations are so off, they're entertaining. Where the heck did you get a time travel theme? They tell. you in the movie that Paul has dreams and they seem to include dreams about the future.
I've not only read nearly all the books in the Dune series, I also saw the older movie as well. This recent one took time to give us more information and better character development. Having two parts probably helps. Anticipating your watching the rest of this story in Part 2. Don''t know if they're planning movies for the next book as well.
And please pay attention. Keep your eyes on the movie when you're talking and try not to talk so much when the characters are talking. They''re often giving you info you need to know. And don't look for Harry Potter magic or Star Wars space travel in this series, please. You're entering the Dune world and it has a different story to tell you. Enjoy the ride.
The Spice makes their eyes blue.
I love the banter between you two so much. Kills me laughing
I love watching you guys because I could watch 100 reactions to the same thing and yet yours would still be totally unique XD
Yeah Dune requires 100% attention... many people had issues watching part 1 the first time around. But if you pay attention... (captions help)... you quickly realize that part one and two are some of the best films ever made and will still be watched in 100 years.
Ash is the only Persian I know who is that enthusiastic about Spartans....
Ash talking shit at a football match: "Our arrows.... Will block out the SUN!"
Underrated comment! I hope he sees it😅
You guys were wonderful. Great reaction to a great film. Looking forward to you guys seeing part 2. Trust me, it is even better.
Still delighted to see how much y’all notice and understand, and your loving back-and-forth is the cherry on top.
Best wishes for continued success.
"Spice is like Oil" oh boy
the visions of Jamis stabbing Paul was a visual representation of how by killing Jamis, he killed himself.
reiterating the “To take a life is to take your own.”
that’s also why in the visions Jamis also tells him that he will show him the ways of the desert.
That’s exactly what he did.
I was the same actually with regards to not initially liking dune, took me 4 tries. But I very quickly became obsessed with this universe, Denis fucking killed it 👏🏻
Hannahs reaction to momoa is so relatable
Its just growing up with a cellphone vs not. ALL 70s films had this long feel to them. Just watch Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns... those really drag out with almost no dialogue.
I have been so excited to see your reaction to Dune 🥰🙌 also can’t believe how many symbolisms Ash predicted for Dune Part 2 🙂🏜️🐭 xx
If you feel like it's not a stand alone movie, it's because the movie part 1 is half of the 1st book story, part 2 is the other half. There is so much world building that they need to prepare you for and they did cut out from the book. So glad you loved it and can't wait to see part 2!!!
