bro _honestly_ Several months ago, I got into a kick of watching movies on my "list" that I hadn't gotten to yet. I got to Dune and was so blown away by it that I made my family watch it with me in preparation for going to the movie that was just a month or two from release My stepdad ended up having a medical emergency (almost blacked out from an ulcer) during the start of the movie, so I went back and rewatched it with them both to support the movie and cause it was sick and I wanted to see it again
The worms are attracted to rhythms. Walking, thumpers, heavy machinery. A shield works by generating a field that is essentially an electrical cycle repeated thousands of times per second. A rhythm that fast drives the worms into a killing frenzy.
My dad's only knowledge of Dune was Kyle MacLachan and big worms. He never gets into sci-fi or fantasy. On a boring night I showed him this movie. He ended up buying pre-sale tickets to Dune Part 2 in theaters. Dune Part 2 is as perfect a sci-fi movie as you will ever see.
Dune was a huge influence of most modern sci-fi, especially Star Wars and Warhammer 40K. It didn't invent the idea of a galaxy wide empire, but the Bene Gesserit sisters directly inspired the Jedi, for example, and the political struggles and constant war gave rise to the condition of Warhammer, among many other franchises. Like Lord of the Rings, it's a foundational cornerstone.
I’m sure some in the comments have mentioned this but there are no aliens in the Dune universe. Thinking Machines like AI are also forbidden as well. Basically, some of the people in this universe are borderline almost superhuman. The Bene Gesserit being a big example of it. They’re very skilled warriors, engineers, philosophers and everything else in between. They have the ability to choose the sex and gender of their children but are normally told to bear only female children. Their most known ability is “The Voice.” Almost no one can withstand it and those that do are very rare to come by. Only women had this ability until Paul came along. The politics, world building and lore is some of my favorite parts of the Dune universe and it’s very complex. Hans Zimmer did an amazing job on the music as well. I listen to them almost daily. So good!
There aren't aliens sure, but the Ixians and the Tleilaxu, as well as the fish-warriors are highly mutated to the point of being an alien species. The navigators as well, though they start fully human. The Harkonnens seem to be not a very mutated faction in the books, but the movie portrayal is slightly different.
In the book, the Voice is a close-held secret and can be taught (thus Jessica taught Paul). It is not a superhuman ability but a concentrated extension of Bene Gesserit training, which teaches people how to observe others in the most minute ways - body language, psychology, mannerisms, tones of voice etc, in order to manipulate them. The Voice is not one specific way of speaking, but rather is a specific way to speak to the specific target person once in such a way that they cannot help but obey. The Voice is the exact tone/way of delivery that will speak to the person intimately (their psychology etc), whether that is to be commanded or subtly directed, which the Bene Gesserit understands from their observations of the person. For example, in the book, there were warnings of a betrayal, and Thufir Hawat (the mentant) believed the traitor could only be Jessica. When Jessica confronts Hawat about the matter, she deliberately demonstrates the Voice to him in order to show him that, had she wanted to kill the Duke, she could do it easily. She tells him "now you've seen the fist in the Bene Gesserit glove". Hawat is horrified at the power, but she proves her point. Paul is only 15 in the book, and he not only trained as a Bene Gesserit but also as a mentant (those who serve the function of human computers since thinking computers are now outlawed). These training streams already make Paul VERY formidable, but the spice melage effects people's minds in a variety of ways (e.g. mentants use large quantities of it to boost their mathematical abilities in order to perform the complexities of interstellar travel - imagine EVERYTHING in space is moving and you're also moving, and you have to do the physics to not crash into anything - and they become Guild Navigators. In Paul, a Bene Gesserit and mentant - the spice extends his consciousness even more (e.g. he already had prescient dreams on Caladan. After moving to Arrakis where spice is in everything, his prescience - the ability to know the future - becomes broader and more accurate). He knows what will happen because he is making so many minute observations about everything that he understands all the permutations of what COULD happen following every other thing that happens. Then, during the events of the next movie, his mind is extended EVEN MORE. This is why he is the Kwizatz Haderach, the Supreme Being.
I hope there comes a day when rappers understand that Bars are a melodic notation term and have virtually nothing to do with words, phrasing or lyrics.
42:28 that's why he is known as "Duke Leto The Just". He inspires all who come in contact with him, and that is why the Emperor set this elaborate trap to dispose of him😢
Man, I don't think I have ever Been so excited to see you guys to What's a film since now. So glad that you guys watch it and hoping that part two is coming soon.
Bladerunner 2049 was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. I remember at the end of it I just sat in my chair in silence for like 5 minutes just in complete awe of that movie.
@ I can't wait to see that too, it looks so good! I had that same reaction to Hereditary except my brain just couldn't process what I'd just watched. I went in blind and took my dad to see it too. We normally talk about movies we watch in theaters but we both didn't know what to say lol
39:22 Remember when Paul meets the Reverend Mother, and she asked him if all his visions come true just the way he sees them and he said no. That means his visions are of possible futures, only some of them will come true based on the choices that are made by himself and others.
Dune was published in like 1965 so yeah it came way before SW. Dune is Game of Thrones in space. The best way to describe it. So many factions require spice- Spacing guild for navigation, Bene Gesserit to make Reverend Mothers, the Fremen aka Free Men of Arrakis. The Empire is like feudal houses - so they all serve the Emperor but he didn't like how popular House Atreides was getting. So he helped the ancient enemy of Atreides, House Harkonnen secretly. There's a LOT of ground to cover that the books go over that had to be condensed for the movie. Paul is the chosen one, but like Dr. Strange he can see thousands or possible outcomes So that is why it doesn't always come true, but mostly does. He does see a Holy war being waged in his name and can do nothing to stop it. It must happen for humanity to evolve. Chani is his love interest and she plays a pivotal role in his ascent in the books. She accepts her role willingly, unlike in the movie. I'm sure that was a more "Woke" idea to give her more backbone. Basically the spice is the crude oil, and keeps the universe going. And Fremen are Arabs.
Well said, tho I'll die on the hill that the "woke" portrayal of chani in the films made for a far more interesting story than what she had in the books
@@system0fadowner251 I found her to be antagonistic, and was constantly waiting for it to become okay, when are we working towards a common goal here? Lets get rid of the Harkonnens, and build the Paradise of Liet spoke of. But it never went that way. Instead and maybe because I have read the books multiple times, and have "expectations" her character didn't evolve. Just stayed the same, scowling bitchy girl. So it was hard for me to find her to be a romantic interest. That's what happens when you change a character too drastically. I don't mind a little literary license. Instead you got a Chani that apparently is an Atheist too, on top of being a SJW. It doesn't make sense, and breaks the "Show, don't tell..." rule of storytelling. I know I'm mixing book with movie material here. But religion is all they have, outside of being terrorists on the people raiding their planet. But for a lot of fans, this comes across as character assassination. You can't change the story, if the story has them getting together and having kids. That's a fundamental flaw that is now setup for Dune Messiah. And that book already has a different tone altogether.
I don't think the Dune novels are required to enjoy these movies. But for anyone that enjoys these movies, you would LOVE the novels. There is SO MUCH MORE context and story they couldn't fit in the movies. Then you start to notice the dozens of hints and references to story bits that they couldn't fully explain in the movie. Again, these movies are incredibly enjoyable WITHOUT reading the novels. But the movies make the novel more enjoyable, and the novel makes rewatching the movies more enjoyable.
In fact I would say watching the films and then reading the book is the best way. I was a little disappointed when I first watched it as so many concepts were seemingly not touched but its amazing how much new viewers pick up on the hints. My love for the movie has increased through watching peoples reaction to it
I greatly appreciate that the movie hews as closely to the book as it does. It means you can go on to read the book and it only adds a great deal to the story.
@@wackyvorlon Closely? It deviates from the book in almost every conceievable way. It feels like an adaptation of an early 00s YA novel rather than a monumental psychedelic 60s Sci Fi one.
The acting is insane in this movie. The issue with 'actors' like Momoa or Bautista is that they are pretty much always type cast in the same limited physical primal character/role. They do have a hard time expressing/conveying any emotions believably other than the bare minimum ones required for the job. Even their vocal range/expression is too limited, so there's hardly any expectation and surprise in their performance, the audience usually is left to believe they play themselves more or less. Worse, if they would start displaying incredible acting skills, playing widely different characters, the audience would most likely be confused and majorly disturbed and most likely not accepting. It really is a one way street for them. However, I find ALL the cast are doing such an incredible job making this movie an extremely believable experience. My favourite performances are from Rebecca Furgeson and Timothee Chalamet.
If there was one context I wanted to share with people from the book that isn't covered in the movies (and there are dozens of these), it's that.... Paul's visions are more like calculations, predictions based on data he learns. It's done extremely, extremely well, so well it seems mystical. Plus the spice is amplifying it. What he sees isn't always true because he can see multiple paths forward, and knows what decisions to make to guide him down different paths. Some paths terrify him, like seeing the army worshipping his name at the shrine of his father's skull (what he screamed about in the tent)
Frank Herbert, whose book is the basis for this movie (the best adaptation for far), began researching things for this story in the late 1950's. The book was published in 1965. Spice is an exaggerated analog for any resource upon which an entire civilization depends and which is controlled by only a few, in particular oil in the case of our current dependency on it. It is just one of the many themes explored in the book Dune.
The healer knows he will be betrayed thats whats makes his decision more tragic as he says the Harkonens are toturing his wife "they take her apart like a doll". He know that if he does what they ask they will kill him and his wife as she is no longer useful. He didnt do it to save her life he did it to pull the plug.
There’s 6 mainline Dune books before the death of Frank Herbert. The Dune movies cover the first book. His son and Kevin J. Anderson have written about 20 since Frank’s death. They’re considered spin-offs and vary in quality. The mainline 6 books written by Frank are what most fans consider to be “Dune” and the rest as either non essential or supplemental.
Maaaan, I’m so excited to see y’all dive into this story and world. Y’all are in for a treat. Really hope you will quickly react to the sequel soon, if you liked the first movie then you will love the second one. This was just a teaser of what is to come!
I heard you two say you haven't seen a movie with Timothée Chalamet. He was in Interstellar as Cooper's teenage son, Tom. Another great reaction! Dune is so good. Can't for the reaction to the sequel!
In the book, Paul describes his visions like looking out over the desert. You can see the tops of the sand dunes (the moments in time that he can see), but you can't see what is in the valleys (what causes the moment in time to happen) until you get closer. In the movie they portrayed his visions as alternate moments. Take Jamis, Paul sees him and Jamis being friends and him teaching Paul the Fremen ways, He also sees Jamis killing Paul and Paul killing Jamis. The same with Chani, he sees him and Chani together, he sees Chani killing him etc.
I read the first three books of this series a few times and I have to say that almost everything in this movie -- and the next one -- look almost exactly like I pictured it in my head. I love this movie, and the next one, too. Can't wait to see your reaction to Part II.
If there is one thing to overly praise more about this movie is the fact that somehow, someway, Hans Zimmer made bagpipes sound like an essential piece of desert music. Also, I saw "Dune" in IMAX and when they used The Voice it literally shakes your body, it was awesome. I also can't wait to see you guys react to "Dune: Part Two".
The tube in their noses. Is there to catch the moisture from your breath. Ment to breathe in through the mouth, and put through the nose. The reason water sprayed out when she was stabbed in the back. Is the water from the suit.
Paul is the result of several disciplines. Hundreds of generations of intricate breeding, Bene Gesserit training in physical control (he can bend his little toe without moving any other muscle in his body), and the basics of Mentat training. Mentats are human computers. Because AI and advanced computing are forbidden (long story), certain humans are trained to do complex computations and equations solely in their heads. Paul has the ability to control his body and mind to a superhuman degree. And that's *before* he's exposed to the spice.
On that note too... the Bene Gesserit told Jessica to bear a DAUGHTER. That daughter was supposed to breed with a Harkonnen who was similarly genetically tailored... the son of THAT union was to become the "chosen one". But Leto wanted a son and Jessica loved Leto so Jessica bore a son, against the BG's wishes. Hence why the BG are mad at Jessica and doubtful of Paul... it messed up their plans. They do have a contingency, just not as solid. They have a Bene Gesserit acolyte who could marry the Harkonnen Jessica's daughter was supposed to have bred with. Thats what you'll see in the 2nd part, though its almost unnecessary as the reason for the contingency wasnt made that clear in the movies.
YAY!!! Finally! I knew you guys would like this one. There's an incredible amount that had to be left out of the movie, but it's interesting and pertinent stuff. I highly recommend checking out some of the videos on TY about the Bene Gesserit, Mentats, the Fremen, the life cycle of the worms, etc. So, so much. It will flesh out the story for you. All of Frank Herberts Dune books are amazing and span about 5,000 years. I recommend Quinn's Ideas has my favorite Dune content. But Nerd Cookies and The Lorebrarians also put out great Dune videos. Can't wait for Dune 2!! ✌🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽
The visions become even crazier when you realize Paul learned lessons he applies in real life via visions from Jamis despite he’s only “real” interaction with him is a fight to the death. HE CAN LEARN FROM POSSIBILITIES 🤯
George Lucas got a lot of his ideas for Star Wars from Dune. The Voice was the inspiration for the Jedi mind trick and Arakkis was the inspiration for Tatooine.
36:10 Something to keep in mind about Paul's level of training and luck and foresight here... He was taught to fight with shields, in which quick strikes are repelled, ao you have to strike slower. Too slow and the opponent can dodge or block. But here, without shields, everything he taught is wrong. Here, quick strikes are not blocked, they are fatal. And yet Paul still manages to get to a final strike position 3 or 4 times against an older and stronger opponent who is a respected warrior. On paper, Paul is dead almost immediately, and he bested Jamis multiple times in one fight.
The 2nd Movie will floor both of you! It is one of the best produced sci fi films if not THE best produced sci-fi film ever made. The sound design and cinematography alone are unmatched.
The original novel was published in 1965, the first film adaptation of Dune was released in 1984, a TV movie series was released in the erly 2000s adapting the first 3 novels of the Dune saga - "Dune" and "Children of Dune". The worms of Arrakis were conceived long before movies like Tremors.
info about sandworms: "Sandworms grow to hundreds of meters in length, with specimens observed over 400 metres (1,300 ft) long and 40 metres (130 ft) in diameter" they are HUGE! she "burst into water" @32:13 coz she has the Fremen Stillsuit on, which has water running through it to cool the body, so that's what u saw...
One thing they changed a little for the fight with Jamis was Paul slowing down his blade just before striking him because he’s used to shield fighting. Jamis and the others through he was toying with him
Moon Knight v. Dr.Selvig. Thanos v. Drax. Aquaman v. A bunch of guys working for Max Shreck. MJ v. Helena Belova. With 2 spies from James Bond, one from Mission Impossible running around. And Willy Wonka fights Elvis.
One of the most suprising thing for the emperor and everyone else who saw this whole change play out, that so many Sardaukar died on the battlefield by another army, because it was not believed that any army is in close to the talent of the Sardaukar! That was one of the reasons, the emperor was scared even terrified of the growing house Atredies! And that's why the emperor did what he did...
The noise-piece is to recover the moisture when you breathe out. With the stil-suit, you breathe in with your mouth and out into the noise-piece. Part II is even more exciting.
After waiting a year and half, i finally decided to watch Dune Part 1 after my friend kept suggesting it to me, saying its right up my alley. He couldn’t’ve been more spot on, and I was fully committed to learning about the lore and where it came from. Im up to the 4th Dune book in the series right now, “God Emperor of Dune” and its the most intriguing Sci-Fi series I’ve read, so no wonder a lot of early Sci-Fi films we’ve all seen took bits of inspiration from Frank Herbert’s Dune books. I also heard there’s a Sci-Fi book that inspired Frank Herbert to write Dune as well. Books are very important, I suggest people to just read what you find interesting and grabs your attention.
There is a scene in this movie, where the Atreides household are packing up for their journey to Arrakis/Dune, and in one scene they're packing a painting into a box, which i believe is a painting of The Duke's father (Paul's grandfather, who was killed while fighting bulls). If i am correct, and my eyes did not deceive me, the person on that painting looked an awful lot like Sir Patrick Stewart (who has also starred in the 1980's movie version of Dune in the role of Gurney Halleck, who, in this version is played by Josh Brolin) !
And don't forget the recently aired HBO spin off tv series "Dune Prophecy". Slow burn but awesome if you love this Dune world. Set a few centuries before the Dune movies and looks at how the Bene Gesserit get powerful.
Paul said his visions don't usually happen exactly like he sees them. They're meant to be glimpses of possible futures. In one he saw Duncan die, and it did happen, just like it turned out that he was right and his mother was pregnant like in his vision, and both her and the baby had blue eyes, which means they've been living in Arrakis among the Fremen and exposed to the Spice for months. But he also had a vision where the dude he kills at the end of the movie teaches him how the Fremen survive in the desert, which won't happen because that future where that guy lives and they become friends didn't come to pass. So which of his visions will turn out to be accurate and which won't and how much, is kind of still up in the air because he doesn't know how to tell them apart. The movie is structured in a way the clearly sets up the sequel because it just covers the first half of the novel, so the story is only half-told at this point.
Wow I love how excited you guys were.. and also caught some details at your first viewing. I bet the comments if you read will give you some more info to make things clearer so I'm not gonna do that here. But wanted to comment about your comment about the acting and couldn't agree more.. the genre or this type of movie might not seem like one demanding actors to try hard or emote, but actually the story goes deep and so many nuances that will easily be missed if wasn't handled/acted well. So Dune really has IT with these stars.. and Timothee is amazing in it and perfectly fits the role. If you like his acting I'd definitely suggest you also react to his other movies (many people knew him from Call Me By Your Name, that got him his first Oscar nom) but if that's not your type he has plenty other movies too!
20:30 You can close the wings?! Yeah. There's a Dune addon for MSFS2024, and you can fly the ornithopter. In case you haven't noticed - Dune is an incredibly complex story, and in Villeneuve's films, most of it is told between the lines.
3:23 Bear in mind, half the stuff from the Dune books was lifted by George Lucas in the Star Wars movies, e.g., The Voice in Dune was based on The Force in Stsr Wars.
18:33, Gurney and the other Atreides soldiers were not being extra. Remember Duke Leto is their head of state for their House. Nobody walks up on a President or Prime Minister without asking permission and being searched first. Kynes was a little too presumptuous. For all Gurney knew she could have been working for the Harkonnens.
If you want worms you'll loveeeeee part 2 There is a big difference in his parent, leto wanted paul to choose his path and Jessica forced this path on him, which is why his dad ended up dying i guess
Please, for the love of god, watch the second one swiftly. Couldn't be more stoked for this reaction.
I can’t wait!
Agreed. Unlike those of us who watched it in theaters, they can watch them back to back and keep everything fresh.
@@NetanelWorthy My friends and I flew 2700km/1700m to the other side of the country to watch both films in the only IMAX we have down under.
Hopefully they do so everything stays fresh; the atmosphere, the plot, the universe.
Tuesday :)
This movie is insanely good
Second movie: hold my beer
bro _honestly_
Several months ago, I got into a kick of watching movies on my "list" that I hadn't gotten to yet. I got to Dune and was so blown away by it that I made my family watch it with me in preparation for going to the movie that was just a month or two from release

The worms are attracted to rhythms. Walking, thumpers, heavy machinery. A shield works by generating a field that is essentially an electrical cycle repeated thousands of times per second. A rhythm that fast drives the worms into a killing frenzy.

Dune Part 2 is as perfect a movie as you will ever see.
fixered that for you.
Wait for Messiah. The book has the potential to make the movie at least twice as better as Part 2.
She bursted with water because she is wearing a suit full of WATER
its also a pretty good PG trick to avoid showing blood

And Dune was inspired by Isaac Asimov's Foundation.
@@CliffuckingBooth Foundation, yes, thank you, I couldn't off the top of my head remember that name because I haven't personally read that one yet.
Also inspired the idea of human minds replacing computer processing following a devastating AI uprising in 40k.
The 40K Selenar gene cults, Sisters of Silence thoughtmark, and Black Ships feel like they have that Bene Gesserit influence.
no they didn't inspire the jedi, the jedi are inspired by shaolin monks, with magic added to them
I’m sure some in the comments have mentioned this but there are no aliens in the Dune universe. Thinking Machines like AI are also forbidden as well. Basically, some of the people in this universe are borderline almost superhuman.
The Bene Gesserit being a big example of it. They’re very skilled warriors, engineers, philosophers and everything else in between. They have the ability to choose the sex and gender of their children but are normally told to bear only female children. Their most known ability is “The Voice.”
Almost no one can withstand it and those that do are very rare to come by. Only women had this ability until Paul came along. The politics, world building and lore is some of my favorite parts of the Dune universe and it’s very complex.
Hans Zimmer did an amazing job on the music as well. I listen to them almost daily. So good!

@@pure_the0ry yes, but they are all, ultimately, human. Dune is about, many other things, the potential of human evolution.
Dune and Dune 2,forever even as the pillar of time crumbles,is so PEAK and an absolute masterpiece. Literal CINEMA🔥
Calm your tit bro, it's not THAT good. It's a solid blockbuster, but nowhere near "CINEMA" and other wannabe film connosieur sobriquets.

LISAN AL GAIB!
They are called mentats and it’s called spice melange. You’re putting N’s where there aren’t any and omitting them where they should be.
the voice is stated to not be supernatural but it clearly is
"Everything important happens when we're awake."

I hope there comes a day when rappers understand that Bars are a melodic notation term and have virtually nothing to do with words, phrasing or lyrics.
42:28 that's why he is known as "Duke Leto The Just". He inspires all who come in contact with him, and that is why the Emperor set this elaborate trap to dispose of him😢
You can feel his shadow in the second movie when his ring is shown, or they mention him. That's how much of a chad he was.
In the books the pain Paul experiences from the Box test is so traumatic that his son remembers it.
Man, I don't think I have ever Been so excited to see you guys to What's a film since now. So glad that you guys watch it and hoping that part two is coming soon.
Frank would've liked this. The Fremen spit greeting is because offering any form of water/moisture on Arrakis is truly respectful.
And it's Stilgar who later says "Never give your water away, not even for the dead". So it must be one massive sign of respect.
The Director of these created Prisoners, Sicario, Arrival, etc. He's such a phenomenal director, Denis Villeneuve.
genius director
Also Bladerunner 2049.
Bladerunner 2049 was one of the best
movies I’ve ever seen. I remember at the end of it I just sat in my chair in silence for like 5 minutes just in complete awe of that movie.

"You're just thrown into this power and you are not ready for it" Oh boy get ready for Part 2
39:22 Remember when Paul meets the Reverend Mother, and she asked him if all his visions come true just the way he sees them and he said no. That means his visions are of possible futures, only some of them will come true based on the choices that are made by himself and others.

Paul is the chosen one, but like Dr. Strange he can see thousands or possible outcomes So that is why it doesn't always come true, but mostly does.

Chani is his love interest and she plays a pivotal role in his ascent in the books. She accepts her role willingly, unlike in the movie.

So it was hard for me to find her to be a romantic interest. That's what happens when you change a character too drastically. I don't mind a little literary license.
Instead you got a Chani that apparently is an Atheist too, on top of being a SJW. It doesn't make sense, and breaks the "Show, don't tell..." rule of storytelling. I know I'm mixing book with movie material here. But religion is all they have, outside of being terrorists on the people raiding their planet.
But for a lot of fans, this comes across as character assassination. You can't change the story, if the story has them getting together and having kids. That's a fundamental flaw that is now setup for Dune Messiah. And that book already has a different tone altogether.
I don't think the Dune novels are required to enjoy these movies. But for anyone that enjoys these movies, you would LOVE the novels. There is SO MUCH MORE context and story they couldn't fit in the movies. Then you start to notice the dozens of hints and references to story bits that they couldn't fully explain in the movie.
Again, these movies are incredibly enjoyable WITHOUT reading the novels. But the movies make the novel more enjoyable, and the novel makes rewatching the movies more enjoyable.
In fact I would say watching the films and then reading the book is the best way. I was a little disappointed when I first watched it as so many concepts were seemingly not touched but its amazing how much new viewers pick up on the hints. My love for the movie has increased through watching peoples reaction to it
I greatly appreciate that the movie hews as closely to the book as it does. It means you can go on to read the book and it only adds a great deal to the story.
@@wackyvorlon Closely? It deviates from the book in almost every conceievable way. It feels like an adaptation of an early 00s YA novel rather than a monumental psychedelic 60s Sci Fi one.
@@wackyvorlonThe second movie moves away from the novel too much, and unnecessarily IMO.
It’s awesome to see you react to _Dune_ but you guys are so going to enjoy _Dune: Part 2_
The acting is insane in this movie. The issue with 'actors' like Momoa or Bautista is that they are pretty much always type cast in the same limited physical primal character/role. They do have a hard time expressing/conveying any emotions believably other than the bare minimum ones required for the job. Even their vocal range/expression is too limited, so there's hardly any expectation and surprise in their performance, the audience usually is left to believe they play themselves more or less. Worse, if they would start displaying incredible acting skills, playing widely different characters, the audience would most likely be confused and majorly disturbed and most likely not accepting. It really is a one way street for them.
However, I find ALL the cast are doing such an incredible job making this movie an extremely believable experience. My favourite performances are from Rebecca Furgeson and Timothee Chalamet.
Rebecca Ferguson 😍 - - - love her nose 😊
I think this movie is just scratching the surface of what Rebecca Ferguson can do. She really delivers in "Silo".
@@thomask8345 ^this
If you haven’t already seen Bautista in Blade Runner 2049, I’d check that out for a good performance from him.
I absolutely love your guy's energy!!!! You catch the plot and still manage to crack the best jokes and face expressions 😂😂😂
If there was one context I wanted to share with people from the book that isn't covered in the movies (and there are dozens of these), it's that....
Paul's visions are more like calculations, predictions based on data he learns. It's done extremely, extremely well, so well it seems mystical. Plus the spice is amplifying it.
What he sees isn't always true because he can see multiple paths forward, and knows what decisions to make to guide him down different paths.
Some paths terrify him, like seeing the army worshipping his name at the shrine of his father's skull (what he screamed about in the tent)
Frank Herbert, whose book is the basis for this movie (the best adaptation for far), began researching things for this story in the late 1950's. The book was published in 1965. Spice is an exaggerated analog for any resource upon which an entire civilization depends and which is controlled by only a few, in particular oil in the case of our current dependency on it. It is just one of the many themes explored in the book Dune.
His mom is such a badass!! I LOVE this but the 2nd is EVEN better! Looking SO forward to the third they’re currently making .
You guys are so adorable! Love this remake. Chris, you can throat sing! If you can't, you faked it really well!
The healer knows he will be betrayed thats whats makes his decision more tragic as he says the Harkonens are toturing his wife "they take her apart like a doll". He know that if he does what they ask they will kill him and his wife as she is no longer useful.
He didnt do it to save her life he did it to pull the plug.
The first one is unreal the Second one is just peak cinema
Guys. you need to see our homie Denis Villeneuve's other sci-fi films: Arrival and Blade Runner 2049. Actually all his movies are great.
Incendies will break these two
Did not like Arrival at all.
Literally, watch Dune Part 2 tomorrow.
Look up the definition of "literally" tomorrow.
@@SalvableRuin Literally did.
@@SalvableRuin Literally don't take everything you read on the internet so literally. Literally.
There’s 6 mainline Dune books before the death of Frank Herbert. The Dune movies cover the first book. His son and Kevin J. Anderson have written about 20 since Frank’s death. They’re considered spin-offs and vary in quality. The mainline 6 books written by Frank are what most fans consider to be “Dune” and the rest as either non essential or supplemental.
Maaaan, I’m so excited to see y’all dive into this story and world. Y’all are in for a treat. Really hope you will quickly react to the sequel soon, if you liked the first movie then you will love the second one. This was just a teaser of what is to come!
I heard you two say you haven't seen a movie with Timothée Chalamet. He was in Interstellar as Cooper's teenage son, Tom. Another great reaction! Dune is so good. Can't for the reaction to the sequel!
In the book, Paul describes his visions like looking out over the desert. You can see the tops of the sand dunes (the moments in time that he can see), but you can't see what is in the valleys (what causes the moment in time to happen) until you get closer. In the movie they portrayed his visions as alternate moments. Take Jamis, Paul sees him and Jamis being friends and him teaching Paul the Fremen ways, He also sees Jamis killing Paul and Paul killing Jamis. The same with Chani, he sees him and Chani together, he sees Chani killing him etc.
Dune Part 2 is a cinematic masterpiece, can't wait to see your guys' reaction to it!
I used to skip the goofiness in the intro. But you guys have good banter, insight and love for each other. Easily my favorite reactors now
Rebecca Ferguson is just DO dang GOOD.
"Arrakanese? Arrankian" The name of the language is Chakobsa. You'll hear much more of it in the sequel!
While watching the movies, remember that one of frank herbert's main points is a hero does a buttload of damage to a society.
I read the first three books of this series a few times and I have to say that almost everything in this movie -- and the next one -- look almost exactly like I pictured it in my head. I love this movie, and the next one, too. Can't wait to see your reaction to Part II.
If there is one thing to overly praise more about this movie is the fact that somehow, someway, Hans Zimmer made bagpipes sound like an essential piece of desert music.
Also, I saw "Dune" in IMAX and when they used The Voice it literally shakes your body, it was awesome. I also can't wait to see you guys react to "Dune: Part Two".
Dr. Yueh knew they’d never set his wife or him free. What he was buying her was a quick death as opposed to torture
I waited for this reaction for so long..
Wait till the second One...
Wat a master piece of a movie guys...
I don't know why but, "all terrain power" killed me.... so funny
The tube in their noses. Is there to catch the moisture from your breath. Ment to breathe in through the mouth, and put through the nose.
The reason water sprayed out when she was stabbed in the back. Is the water from the suit.
I will never regret seeing both of these films in IMAX. The music, sound design, and immersive visuals were second to none.
This is one of those stories where the non-book reader's miss out on alot.
Paul is the result of several disciplines. Hundreds of generations of intricate breeding, Bene Gesserit training in physical control (he can bend his little toe without moving any other muscle in his body), and the basics of Mentat training. Mentats are human computers. Because AI and advanced computing are forbidden (long story), certain humans are trained to do complex computations and equations solely in their heads. Paul has the ability to control his body and mind to a superhuman degree. And that's *before* he's exposed to the spice.
On that note too... the Bene Gesserit told Jessica to bear a DAUGHTER. That daughter was supposed to breed with a Harkonnen who was similarly genetically tailored... the son of THAT union was to become the "chosen one".
But Leto wanted a son and Jessica loved Leto so Jessica bore a son, against the BG's wishes.
Hence why the BG are mad at Jessica and doubtful of Paul... it messed up their plans.
They do have a contingency, just not as solid. They have a Bene Gesserit acolyte who could marry the Harkonnen Jessica's daughter was supposed to have bred with. Thats what you'll see in the 2nd part, though its almost unnecessary as the reason for the contingency wasnt made that clear in the movies.
Let’s do it! Best way to prep to go back to teaching tomorrow.
As the emperor says : "if you walk without rythm, you won't attract the worms. "
YAY!!! Finally! I knew you guys would like this one. There's an incredible amount that had to be left out of the movie, but it's interesting and pertinent stuff. I highly recommend checking out some of the videos on TY about the Bene Gesserit, Mentats, the Fremen, the life cycle of the worms, etc. So, so much. It will flesh out the story for you. All of Frank Herberts Dune books are amazing and span about 5,000 years. I recommend Quinn's Ideas has my favorite Dune content. But Nerd Cookies and The Lorebrarians also put out great Dune videos. Can't wait for Dune 2!! ✌🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽
The first reaction I’ve ever seen to get the spitting ritual!!! Everyone else laughs at it but it’s a perfectly alien thing. Love it!!!!
The visions become even crazier when you realize Paul learned lessons he applies in real life via visions from Jamis despite he’s only “real” interaction with him is a fight to the death. HE CAN LEARN FROM POSSIBILITIES 🤯
George Lucas stole the Jedi Mind trick from the Voice.
Yeah Warhammer was influenced (ripped off) by the book a lot, as was Star Wars.
George Lucas got a lot of his ideas for Star Wars from Dune. The Voice was the inspiration for the Jedi mind trick and Arakkis was the inspiration for Tatooine.
36:10
Something to keep in mind about Paul's level of training and luck and foresight here...
He was taught to fight with shields, in which quick strikes are repelled, ao you have to strike slower. Too slow and the opponent can dodge or block. But here, without shields, everything he taught is wrong. Here, quick strikes are not blocked, they are fatal. And yet Paul still manages to get to a final strike position 3 or 4 times against an older and stronger opponent who is a respected warrior.
On paper, Paul is dead almost immediately, and he bested Jamis multiple times in one fight.
Dudes, 1:02 🤣🤣 had me rollin' 😊
I'm so glad you guys liked this, even surprised by how much you like. I hope that 2nd one comes asap.
The 2nd Movie will floor both of you! It is one of the best produced sci fi films if not THE best produced sci-fi film ever made. The sound design and cinematography alone are unmatched.
The original novel was published in 1965, the first film adaptation of Dune was released in 1984, a TV movie series was released in the erly 2000s adapting the first 3 novels of the Dune saga - "Dune" and "Children of Dune". The worms of Arrakis were conceived long before movies like Tremors.
The book is better.
The books written by the son explain why there are no machines.
info about sandworms: "Sandworms grow to hundreds of meters in length, with specimens observed over 400 metres (1,300 ft) long and 40 metres (130 ft) in diameter" they are HUGE! she "burst into water" @32:13 coz she has the Fremen Stillsuit on, which has water running through it to cool the body, so that's what u saw...
The Dune books have some of the best worldbuilding in sf, and i'm so glad this film does not disappont. 10/10
One thing they changed a little for the fight with Jamis was Paul slowing down his blade just before striking him because he’s used to shield fighting. Jamis and the others through he was toying with him
Y'ALL NEED TO WATCH part 2 right now. buckle up!!!!!!
@@agardner77 IT'S COMING TODAY, WE'RE BUCKLED UP AND READY TO GO!
Moon Knight v. Dr.Selvig. Thanos v. Drax. Aquaman v. A bunch of guys working for Max Shreck. MJ v. Helena Belova. With 2 spies from James Bond, one from Mission Impossible running around. And Willy Wonka fights Elvis.
Great shirt Curtis!!
The Kare Bear 🌈🐻
I like the fact he said there is no hand holding, you have to pay attention to know what's going on.
One of the most suprising thing for the emperor and everyone else who saw this whole change play out, that so many Sardaukar died on the battlefield by another army, because it was not believed that any army is in close to the talent of the Sardaukar!
That was one of the reasons, the emperor was scared even terrified of the growing house Atredies! And that's why the emperor did what he did...
The noise-piece is to recover the moisture when you breathe out. With the stil-suit, you breathe in with your mouth and out into the noise-piece. Part II is even more exciting.
After waiting a year and half, i finally decided to watch Dune Part 1 after my friend kept suggesting it to me, saying its right up my alley. He couldn’t’ve been more spot on, and I was fully committed to learning about the lore and where it came from. Im up to the 4th Dune book in the series right now, “God Emperor of Dune” and its the most intriguing Sci-Fi series I’ve read, so no wonder a lot of early Sci-Fi films we’ve all seen took bits of inspiration from Frank Herbert’s Dune books. I also heard there’s a Sci-Fi book that inspired Frank Herbert to write Dune as well. Books are very important, I suggest people to just read what you find interesting and grabs your attention.
The books you’re thinking of that inspired Dune was Foundation by Isaac Asimov.
Silence!!! Those that know can't wait for you guys to see that moment.
oh, I'm so excited to see this reaction, but I might not get to watch it till tomorrow..
I'm giving my 'like' for it right now.
Do Part 2 asap. Its basically the 2nd half of this movie. Can't wait.
There is a scene in this movie, where the Atreides household are packing up for their journey to Arrakis/Dune, and in one scene they're packing a painting into a box, which i believe is a painting of The Duke's father (Paul's grandfather, who was killed while fighting bulls). If i am correct, and my eyes did not deceive me, the person on that painting looked an awful lot like Sir Patrick Stewart (who has also starred in the 1980's movie version of Dune in the role of Gurney Halleck, who, in this version is played by Josh Brolin) !
I read the book back in the 70's. This is the only movie I saw in the theater that entire year.
And don't forget the recently aired HBO spin off tv series "Dune Prophecy". Slow burn but awesome if you love this Dune world. Set a few centuries before the Dune movies and looks at how the Bene Gesserit get powerful.
A few centuries! Try over 10,000 years.
Paul said his visions don't usually happen exactly like he sees them. They're meant to be glimpses of possible futures. In one he saw Duncan die, and it did happen, just like it turned out that he was right and his mother was pregnant like in his vision, and both her and the baby had blue eyes, which means they've been living in Arrakis among the Fremen and exposed to the Spice for months.
But he also had a vision where the dude he kills at the end of the movie teaches him how the Fremen survive in the desert, which won't happen because that future where that guy lives and they become friends didn't come to pass. So which of his visions will turn out to be accurate and which won't and how much, is kind of still up in the air because he doesn't know how to tell them apart.
The movie is structured in a way the clearly sets up the sequel because it just covers the first half of the novel, so the story is only half-told at this point.
Wow I love how excited you guys were.. and also caught some details at your first viewing. I bet the comments if you read will give you some more info to make things clearer so I'm not gonna do that here. But wanted to comment about your comment about the acting and couldn't agree more.. the genre or this type of movie might not seem like one demanding actors to try hard or emote, but actually the story goes deep and so many nuances that will easily be missed if wasn't handled/acted well. So Dune really has IT with these stars.. and Timothee is amazing in it and perfectly fits the role. If you like his acting I'd definitely suggest you also react to his other movies (many people knew him from Call Me By Your Name, that got him his first Oscar nom) but if that's not your type he has plenty other movies too!
"you want all terrain power" 😂 lmao when thinking about sandworms lmao yeah pretty much
The nose plugs work this way. You breathe in through your mouth and out throw the nose to recapture body moisture.
It's a good movie, I went to see it with my sisters at the cinema!
20:30 You can close the wings?!
Yeah. There's a Dune addon for MSFS2024, and you can fly the ornithopter.
In case you haven't noticed - Dune is an incredibly complex story, and in Villeneuve's films, most of it is told between the lines.
3:23 Bear in mind, half the stuff from the Dune books was lifted by George Lucas in the Star Wars movies, e.g., The Voice in Dune was based on The Force in Stsr Wars.
you mean, the force was based on the voice, not the other way around
@ Yeah, exactly. Also, the Sarlacc pit was inspired by the worms from Dune.
Holtzman shields generate high frequency vibrations. They make worms go insane, and a shield won’t protect you if a giant mount swallows you whole
18:33, Gurney and the other Atreides soldiers were not being extra. Remember Duke Leto is their head of state for their House.
Nobody walks up on a President or Prime Minister without asking permission and being searched first. Kynes was a little too presumptuous. For all Gurney knew she could have been working for the Harkonnens.
The HBO Show helped me connect the dots because even though I have seen both movies, I had no idea what was happening
The voice on the first movie is the best sounding voice.
In the books the female fremen doctor is actually male and Chani's father. Why they changed it for the movie i dont know.
For the love of God watch 2000s The Little Vampire with thespian Jonathan Lipnicki.
Please react to The Substance and Wicked (after Dune: Part Two, of course)
I am a fan of Star Wars, however, I have read the book before seeing the movie. In my opinion, I regard Dune as the grandest sci-fi epic ever written.
So, when do we get the reaction to part 2?
The books are so good! Frank Herbert is why Star Wars was inspired. George Lucas always credits Dune for his inspo
Welcome to the world of Dune. Thanks for your reactions.
Good movie love the video octokrool stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
If you want worms you'll loveeeeee part 2
There is a big difference in his parent, leto wanted paul to choose his path and Jessica forced this path on him, which is why his dad ended up dying i guess
When u exhale normally you lose little bits of moisture through your breath. The nose tube saves that moisture!
31:28 Are we all. Seeing a lone warrior going out like that heck yeah!
