Paul Atreides is perhaps the biggest villain in the story, although the Bene Gesserit are ultimately responsible. He knows from prescient vision that resolving his vendetta against the Harkonnen will unleash a jihad that will kill billions of people. He is the ultimate tragic hero and his fate doesn't get any better in the following two books.
Dune Messiah will be the real test of adaptations. If Denis can pull it off and stick the landing, he’s going down as one of the greatest directors of all time.
God I loved the visual of the movie starting with the Harkonnen's burning the bodies of the Atreides, and ends with the Fremen burning the bodies of the Harkonnen. Strong visual reinforcement that this isn't a happy ending, it's a continuation of a cycle of violence that is still ongoing.
I loved hearing this. Someone who stuck with it and understands there is more underneath it all than merely entertainment. BTW...you've got a few more books to read. ;)
@@kingbolo4579 Indeed. GE was like sitting through a philosophy lecture... for 6 weeks! (not that that's necessarily a bad thing... but certainly not 'light reading'. :) )
For accuracy to the books, the SciFi channel mini-series is still head and shoulders above Lynch's and Villeneuve's versions. It's too bad that the mini-series didn't have a decent budget for its special effects.
I loved the 2nd film but I had a problem with how quick it was between the time Paul was found by the Fremen and when Paul becomes the contested emperor. A lot of that time was about Alia being born and her life in the Sietch with Leto I living and dying. Still though, Herbert's disdain for religion still shines through and Paul's role is intact. While many consider Paul an anti-hero, I consider him an anti-villain. Great movie. It's this generation "Lord of the Rings". We need Dune Messiah. I'm old so hopefully Denis won't wait too long. .
My only problem with part 2 is the timeline. In the books it took 5-10 years between the fall of House Atreides, and Paul taking on the Emperor. I get not wanting to using a child for that 1 scene, but less than 9 months to do everything he had to do, doesn’t work.
I certainly felt a bit of that as well, though I think did a good job showing how capable the Fremen were before Paul shows up, so they already felt ready to fight.
Chani and some of her peers had the perspective of a rich cosmopolitan with plenty of time to think as opposed to someone brought up in a tribe in conflict in a resource-poor environment where she was trained in the religion she seemed cynical about.
No culture is monolithic, not even the most fanatical. There's always some diversity of opinion and beliefs, although sometimes those who think differently are forced to hide it from others. Remember Dune takes place in the far future, despite the feudal sytem of the Empire being similar to Earth's ancient past. Chany and her companions had access to lots of information in filmbooks and they lived close to Arrakeen, the cosmopolitan planetary capital in the northern hemisphere of Arrakis. Besides, imperial ecologist turned Fremen leader Liet Kynes was very aware of how the different factions in power operated.
@@matiasdevaglia4541 But a culture under siege would not have an urban sensibility. On top of that, the spice agony was separated from the tribal orgy, it was an event that tied in with that unified the culture. One of the book's subtext was that this people were unified so much as a tribal culture. The director misses the book's point when introducing the culture that was divided so radically as it was unified over centuries. I had the privilege of speaking with the author when I was in college and taking a culture to the extreme was the point of many of the groups represented.
Read the book as well, I thought Irulan's portrayal was appropriate to her thought processes displayed in the chapter quotes, Feyd-Rautha is sufficiently scary in all the right ways, and Alia remaining unborn for now did wonders for keeping her mysterious and drawing the plot forward. A worthy adaptation and a great film, love to see it.
As a long time lover of the books, I really enjoyed Dune and own the DVD . I was sorry I didn't see it in IMAX , so am determined to see Dune 2 in that format. I saw it the other night on a regular screen and it's like seeing two movies back to back there's so much going on. But, the story moves along briskly and there's a lot of action. So, for those who thought Dune was a bit slow , they'll probably like the 2nd one much better. Will be seeing it in IMAX next week and looking forward to it!!
Also, as far as the music, Hans Zimmerman is amazing! I loved his work on Wonder Woman 1984, which really helped it to feel like it had a lot after Christmas lore. I lived seeing on Christmas 2020, since they had to move it from its original June release date. Everyone hated the plot, mostly because it has two villains and an incoherent plot. And it was sad to see that the music couldn’t save it. But when you have an epically written and directed movie like Dine, the music really makes it shine. I especially loved the music when Paul started riding the worm. He proved he could succeed and do great things. 😊
I read more than A Dozen Dune Books The Prequel books about the Early on Machine Wars, Earth becoming the fallout Prison world where Sardaukar come from, The creations of the Sisterhood, the Space Guild, and Mentats. The inventions of shield tech and space folding.... And Much Much MORE. Cloning IS a thing.... the Super Soldier Jason Mamamoa Shall Return! Please give the newer Dune books a look... Way WAY easier to read than Franks Books. The newer books read more like a Harry Potter but with ALL the good stuff. Frank Herberts books are Great, but they are written in a more complex way.
I ALSO READ THE BOOK! And Messiah. And Children. And God Emperor. And I'm about 20% lf the way through Heretics (which has actually been my least favorite so far, hence I'm dragging my feet on it). The movies are really good.
But stop at some point. You gotta stop at some point. If you find yourself picking up a book and seeing the letter "K J A" in the authors name... its time to dial it back. At that point you've got a problem.
@@theblankproductionhouse read from Dune to Chapterhouse Dune...don't read Brian Herberts or KJA they suck The 6 original Dune Novels are Dune (1965) Dune Messiah (1969) Children of Dune (1975) God Emperor of Dune (1981) Heretics of Dune (1984) Chapterhouse Dune (1985) Also can check out The Dune Encyclopaedia (1984) frank Herbert approved this not his son. Eye (1985) by Frank Herbert there is road to dune in it it's awesome.
I’m the odd one out here - loved the first one better. Set everything up beautifully. You can’t help but feel sorrow, fear, hatred during the fall of house Atredies. Paul’s retribution was short lived - I wanted more based on the welled up anger from the first movie.
Paul is both a villain but also a tragic helpless character dragged by prescience and fate....These current films did a good job on highlighting that important character flaw he has..I feel like DUNE Messiah is going to divide people..maybe...I know The Last Jedi subverted several peoples tropes ( A movie I still love, despite some of the flaws I see now) and star wars fans were not happy..
I didn’t even read the book. But u did recently watch the 2021 version and watched the David lynch film. I was very excited for this movie. I’m just not much of a reader. You definitely don’t need to read the books to understand it. However, I might have to read the books in the future, because there is way more to this story than just what they can put in two or three movies. 🍿 🎥 🎦
5:28 YES!!! I HATE that most movies do this nowadays!! Every moment that could be noble and grand and a moment for oohs and aahs, they have to slap down with a joke. Marvel is an especially guilty of this recently. I WANT the noble, chilling, slow-motion-walk moment! DON’T RUIN IT! I don’t care if these “hip“ “meta“ directors think it’s cool to fourth wall break and point out that every noble moment could be seen as cheesy. Stop fucking ruining the moment. And boy, Dune part two is just full of unadulterated, glorious “noble moments”. The moment of the worm ride, Paul’s multiple slow motion walks across the sand, his slow turn and stare right after he’s been resurrected, and many more. They just let the music swell and let the moment be chill-inducing, without a record scratch sound and a joke. Thank God.
Great movie! Only problem: somebody who's not familiar with the book won't understand the grand theme. And therefore, many people were totally dumb founded after the cinema. Don't get me wrong. Most loved the movie, anyways. But... they had no clue what just happened.
I grew up reading all the Dune books, my favourite, which I read many times was God Emperor of Dune. I can only dream that someone makes that with this quality. Even I found it necessary to watch Dune 1 more than once and now its my favourite movie of all time. Saw Dune 2 in the theatre, wasn't happy with the changes to Chani or the actress who plays her, just found her unlikable, I also didn't like the cop out on Alia and the the 6 month time frame, I thought it didn't really work but I'll have to really reserve judgement until I watch it again when the disk comes out.
Real fans watch the Sci-Fi miniseries :P , definitely not "good" by conventional terms, but a fun watch and an honest attempt to tell this story, just without all the... you know... money. Also weirdly top-shelf actors for something like that, I guess Dune has always had a lot of fans.
The book ruined the movie for me... FInished the book a week before watching dune 2 and every time the movie deviated from the book it left me feeling... so weird. The changes make sense, yes, but every change comes at a cost and it just left me wondering wtf was that cost, what was sacrificed? Some were clear. Chani and Jessica's relationship, Paul and Jessica's motherly love for him, Chani and Paul's future... The vision of the future does not seem clear any more to me, the reader of the book. (Ha!) Other changes are... I dont know... Thufir, Gurney v. Jessica, Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen, the baron... These are not important to advancing the main story, but it felt reductive to the characters and whatever Frank Herbert was trying to tell with them.
Certainly see all that, unfortunately there's not room for everything, the way I see it some things the book did better and some things the movie did better, they shouldn't be interchangeable!
Guys, I think he didn't write the book. Jokes aside, I think they realllllly did Thufir dirty. Him and Alia were the base of my thoughts among others when it came to this movie. But the movie is straight spicy fire so I don't really mind.
They screwed up Lady Jessica big time. She is supposed to be the most bad assed Bene Gesserit being able to control all aspects of her body and mind. All the crying seemed off and when she puked I was so pissed. That is not the Lady Jessica I know.

So, let me get this straight: You used to have good taste in movies, but now you've decided that intelligent plotting and interesting characters are subordinate to good music and visuals; once upon a time, you enjoyed good cinema, but now you're into overlong "Dune" themed music videos with subtly misogynistic themes and manipulative, senseless storylines. Got it.
Have to say I’m not the only one who finds this director’s movies rather tedious & boring. You can have the most amazing production in the world, but if the roles have absolutely no personality & the story isn’t told well enough, you just end up nodding off. All I can say is don’t assume you will def like this movie just cos most reviewers seem to be going gaga over it.

@@jeremycraft2445 - yes, I liked it too… but I have a feeling the studio told Villeneuve “okay, you can make _Part 2,_ but you have to add more action and a few jokes, and have fewer weird visions… and definitely NO Guild Navigators!”
One nitpick for me about Part 2 is at the beginning where Jessica and Paul fight off the Harkonnen, Paul has his back to a Harkonnen and Jessica has to save him. Maybe this was in the book. I can't remember since I read it back in like 1992, but this felt off to me. At this point, Paul had been trained by some of the best warriors in the empire and he had seen some combat himself, so why would he be so sloppy in a combat situation? This just didn't make sense to me. I don't see Paul as a dullard, so how did he forget his training?
I was sorry they couldn't include him since I thought the actor was charming and seeing him refuse to kill Paul at the end , like in the book would have been so touching.
I just wish upon a star a director - someday - will not alter the setting to film the movie(s). The sci-fi version was the closest to the books thus far.

@@theblankproductionhouse Yup, that's why Messiah is the BEST Dune book! :)
So many don’t understand that, even after reading the book.
It’s been a while since I read them, but IIRC he’s not the biggest villain, and that’s the problem. Leto II has to do it because Paul didn’t.
Dune Messiah will be the real test of adaptations. If Denis can pull it off and stick the landing, he’s going down as one of the greatest directors of all time.

well put, I think its making general audiences a bit conflicted as its so rare to see a major movie like this where the "hero" does such bad things.
I love that you fully committed to understanding the story going into the second film. Thats more than most others would do! Awesome!
I saw other people loving it and wanted to love it too!
I was blown away by part 1 & seeing it in IMAX was probably a huge reason for it. Home viewing just doesn't hit the same.
