Star Wars was inspired by a lot of the past 40 years of western Science Fiction and Fantasy culture mixed with a few recent Eastern themes (Kurasawa). That is what Star Wars is, a pop culture soup of the time period of 1936 to 1976 put together in an entertaining way with out of this world special effects.
@@oobrocks Star Wars (1977) was a soup of the previous 40 years of pop culture. Eastern (Kurasawa) and Western ( Film, TV, Science Fiction and Fantasy. Special effects were WOW and everyone had fun.
The reason why it reminds you of Star Wars, Magy, is that Star Wars drew huge inspiration from Dune. The original Dune novel was written in the 1960s, over a decade before Star Wars came out, and it's success and impact were HUGE: pretty much the sci-fi equivalent of The Lord Of The Rings. It wasn't the only influence on Star Wars (there are whole videos about all those) but it was definately a major one.
@@thoso1973It's more 633 Squadron than the Dambusters. There's a video on RUclips showing the trench runs and 633's assault on the heavy water plant in the fjord side-by-side, and they match practically shot-for-shot.
@@MrHws5mpDon't know that one, you might be right. But the same is true for The Dam Busters; some of the dialogue is identical. And we know that George and his wife Marcia specifically used that film as inspiration for the trench run.
In the book, Paul describes his visions like looking out over the dessert. You can see the tops of the dunes (the possible futures) but you don't know what is in your path to get there until you get closer. His visions go hours, days, months, years, decades and more into the future. In the movie they represented this by showing multiple and alternate visions. i.e. he sees Chani, He sees Chani and him kiss, he sees Chani kill him. He sees Jamis and they are friends, he sees Jamis kill him multiple times he sees himself kill Jamis. Paul does not know which future is the real one until he gets closer to that moment.
I always found it sad that the writers didn't keep Dr Yueh's final words to his killer "You think you have defeated me". He knew exactly what his 'deal' with the Barron meant, and was willing to pay any price to 'end her agony'.
@@philipgodsworth4764It isn't. Yueh Knew he and his wife would die, he had no doubt of it. What he wanted was to make sure his wife was truly dead and the Harkonen weren't actually keeping her alive indefinitely in agony. The technology available to them meant she could be practically dissected alive. feel all of it and not be allowed to die from it if they wished. Yueh's words "You think you have won? You think I don't know what I gained for my wife?" was him telling the Baron he expected this outcome and his real goal was just to ensure her torture was truly over before he died. He robbed the Baron of his moment of victory and robbed the Baron of his ability to continue torturing them both for that slight. It's the equivalent of the Queen of Thorns telling Jamie Lannister it was her that poisoned Jofferey right after taking his poison.
I thought exactly the same thing about Top Gun: Maverick, almost every shot was a potential movie poster. And I also think that Dune deserves this complement too, it really is a gorgeous movie. Cinematography is very important, and can help to turn a movie into a masterpiece.
Recall the scene where Duke Leto says, “Damn the spice, save the men!” In the book a big point is made that this behavior in Duke Leto shows the Fremen and Dr. Liet Kynes that the Atreides are very different bosses than the Harkonnens
So this is the first half of the first book. The second film is mostly the second half of the first book. A third film seems confirmed and will cover the second book - Dune: Messiah - which concludes the Paul Atreides story. There are six Dune novels in total and Frank Herbert planned a seventh but didn't complete it before his death in 1986. I just saw part 2 last week.. and I thought it was well worth the wait.
36:41 the qualities that makes someone Magy's favorite. 1. Always shows up in style 2. Doesn't betray anyone 3. Has a big mouth Loved this reaction! Great job!
When Paul saw Duncan after he'd died he was seeing or remembering an alternate possible timeline where Duncan was alive. Pauls visons are a mix of possible futures, which is why they aren't exactly what happens, each tiny choice alters the possible futures. And you are right he can't see all futures, only some of them, and it's constantly shifting. You are right that Paul is fighting to avoid the future, the most likely future at this point is a destructive civil war, which he is trying to avoid. The Barron survived because he was shielded, you see the shield go red as Leto breathes out. I've read the book many times, and this is a great adaptation. The cinematography and sound scape are incredible. The casting is top notch, and everyone is paying their part for all they are worth. I can't wait for the next movie. I really hope they stick the landing! Magy, you are savage 😂 "Die in pain" 🤣🤣🤣 You two are great to watch together 🥰 Especially when you are simping your crushes! Thanks for being here 😊
Actually the baron lived because of his hover device. He was cursed with several genetic diseases after assaulting mother mohiam, who then gave birth to lady Jessica because of that. So he needs the hover device to get around because he is very ill. His shield would have failed if he didn’t hover up to the roof, he knew this also, which is why Dr Yueh chose the poison, as it is one of the few things that can penetrate even the best shields. Red means a shield has been pierced, which is also why he has to heal all the rest of the movie and in part two he has several more devices to help him breathe and get around.
I enjoy how the movie showed us that the visions were 1) incomplete for us (Paul saw more than we were shown), and 2) inexact (only some possible futures). I think it was good to not explain this in detail. This delivery shows how Paul knows more than we do about what's going on... but not much more. We're still learning together. Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work!
37:39 The Baron survived because of his shield. Shields in dune can be tuned to slow down objects doing at a specific speed, as you saw with the swords. But they can also be tuned down so low that you can prevent air molecules from passing through it, at the risk of suffocating due to lack of air. So the barons shield was so low that it saved him from the toxic gas but he almost suffocated.
One day you should take a trip back in time to the version of Dune they made in 1984 just for fun. It's wild. A lot of people consider it a mess, and it really is weird and convoluted, but the imagination and eccentricity of it is oddly endearing. It's a strange and fun time.
When I was a child I saw the original while spending the night at a friend's house. I was so intrigued. Then I noticed the book on the shelf. I stayed up, eventually fell asleep reading it. I'm sure it probably wasn't appropriate for my age. But it was so damn good.
When the housekeeper calls Jessica the one she is referring to the prophecy in general ya know? The mother and the son, think like The father the son & the Holy Ghost
Did you notice that Dune is missing one of the biggest sci - fi tropes of all time?? No computers or intelligent robots. It's part of the Dune backstory. Humanity was enslaved by AI. They fought a war to free themselves from the thinking machines, The Butlerian Jihad. After that advanced computers and AI were banned.
That is one of the biggest misconceptions of dune that ai enslaved humans when it was humans with intelligent machines that enslaved other humans and that was pushed by the butlerian to become the rulers of the galaxy
If you like Jason Momoa, check out Stargate Atlantis. In Seasons 2-4 he plays an alien so well I have trouble seeing him in anything else and not thinking of him as Ronon Dex. Be warned, though, if you want to understand what's going on you'll have to watch the movie and the first eight seasons of SG-1, so it's a commitment. But I love the show, so take it as you will.
Now, I’ve certainly never claimed to be a prophet or to have had prophetic dreams but, the way it’s written, I’d say Paul’s abilities to see into the future seem like they’re very similar to Dr. Strange in Infinity War and Endgame. Paul sees a number of future possibilities and then has to navigate through the bad ones to get to the one he wants
This is definitely a challenging watch. I’ve seen it 3 times and it actually gets better every time. You pick up every single part of the story and realize more and more how grand and significant it all is. And the visions are meant to be confusing. They don’t show exactly what happens, but some general themes.
Dune ends just like LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring. It concludes the first leg of the journey, but it ominously begins the next leg. Essentially, this first movie is the first half of the first Dune book. The second movie covers the second half of it. Then a third movie, which is a foregone conclusion at this point, will cover the second book "Messiah". Really good stuff. As for the movie itself, the size and scope of this story translates so well to the big screen. And everyone involved with it did a great job. Even though this first movie was a slow burn, it really built the world, the characters and the story well. So much so that anyone that didn't read the books, can understand what is going on. Well, for the most part. Visually it is a masterpiece. Breathtaking, sweeping shots and cinematography. The acting is also superb. But that is to be expected with such a phenomenal cast, one that only expands in the second movie. And one thing that rarely gets mentioned is the sound design and soundtrack. It is so good. Hans Zimmer really captured the mood. All-around it is just a fantastic movie. Part 2 just expands on all of this.
I always love watching the reactions. At the beginning everyone’s like “Paul’s the good guy.’ And then Pauls vision in the stiltent standing above the troops off the back of the ship “Wait…Paul’s the good guy right?….Right??” Dune’s central theme is the danger of charismatic leaders and the momentum they create can quickly go out of their control.
is Paul really a bad guy though? he’s a victim of fate. he takes alternative paths to what he sees to try and prevent the Jihad but they all lead to the same result. Like in the books he says “They’ll call me Muad’dib.” so later he chooses to be called “Paul Muad’dib.” that’s just the best example i can think of off the top of my head.
@@yoda9256 nah he choose that path he could have just gone into exile or live as a freemen but he choose vengeance which leads To what comes next and yeah then its out of his control unless he choses to lose
Magy, there was indeed an earlier movie (released in 1984) and a more recent miniseries (which I haven’t seen). The 1984 movie Dune starred Kyle Machlachlan as Paul and was directed by David Lynch. It was seen as kind of a disaster at the time! That movie tried to do the entire book in one film, and the original cut of the movie was 3 1/2 hours long - way too long for audiences back then. Unfortunately the studio cut it down by over an hour and left the director no control over it - Lynch asked them to take his name off the credits as director, but they wouldn’t do it. So the end result was missing huge amounts of story and didn’t make much sense if you hadn’t read the books (hell, even if you HAD read them). And the VFX were… well… great by 1984 standards, but look pretty cheesy these days!😅 That said, there are a lot of people who still love that version of Dune - it’s a nostalgia watch for fans of older sci-fi, and there IS some good acting in it - Kyle’s Paul Atreides got him a lot of attention. Heck, even Sting shows up playing a bad guy.😂
The miniseries was fine but suffered from being inexpensive (you could see the fabric creases in the backdrops as it wasn't filmed in a desert) and the cast wasn't of the stature of either the 84 or recent movies.
Hey Magy, this version of "Dune," particularly in reference to the character of Paul Atriedes, is a lot more accurate to the novels than they original 1984 movie adaptation that had Kyle Maclochlan in the role of Paul Atriedes. In the novel, Paul was a teenager, whereas in the 1984 version of this movie, Kyle Maclochlan was about mid to late 20s or early 30s
The Dune series is an amazing story. The David Lynch 1983 Film is the first book, whereas this is split in 2 parts. There is also a 2000 Sci-fi Channel mini Series by John Harrison. Both are worth watching.
What I love so much of DUNE is as similar as Star Wars. Everything got to do with space-travel, villainy plots, galactic politics, multiversal wars, awakening injustice, and unexpected extraordinary events that would soon happen. Believe me when I say it, the incredible mind-blowing parts will come in DUNE 2. And I can't wait any much longer to see it for myself and to tell anyone what I really think of it. Best luck to you all viewers and travel your imaginations.
The various versions of Dune are worth comparing: the 1984 movie's focus on the Navigators of the Spacing Guild especially, as they begin the whole mess, by seeing 'trouble on the horizon' = Paul. What survives of the earlier 1979 unfinished project, which had some music written for it by Pink Floyd, had an influence on Villeneuve's move. Many of the designs, especially of the palaces and buildings, date from that project. The TV miniseries of Dune and Children of Dune from the 1990s tends to be thuddingly literal and tends to go odd in all the wrong places, but the designs and performances are European and interesting.
The first dune novel which is adapted into dune part 1 and part 2 came out in 1965. The second novel Dune Messiah which will be adapted into dune part 3 the second novel came out in 1969 n the third children of dune in 1975. All 3 novels were already out before the original star wars film which came out in 1977. Only the last 3 novels of the dune saga came out afterstar wars so dune came before star wars n so many other franchises. Dune started in 1965.
What a coincidence you're watching this right after the sequel came out lol. And boy was it amazing... Look forward to reaction the that when it heads to streaming a few months from now!
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Maud'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Maud'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.
Yes... there are other movies and a LOT of books and stuff. Let's see.... there are 6 original books written by Frank Herbert between 1965 and 1985. Then there are another 20 or so books (written between 1999 and now) co-written by Brian Herbert (Frank's son) and Kevin J. Anderson, which include 3 prequels, 3 "Legends of Dune", 2 "sequels", 3 "Heroes of Dune", 3 "Great Schools of Dune", and 3 "The Caladan Trilogy". Frank Herbert also wrote 1 short story in 1985 and Brian and Kevin wrote 13 short stories from 2001 to now! There is also a few different comic book series. As for video...there is obviously this movie and part 2 which just came out last weekend and grossed something like 178 million dollars worldwide opening weekend, which is awesome, it could hit 1 billion dollars... and I saw a non-spoiler review from a source I trust and apparently part 2 is REALLY well done. Not perfect, but a very very good movie. As for previous video, there's the 1984 movie. Hmmm... the 1984 movie is the entire first book. This movie here you just reacted to is about half of the first book, and we assume part 2 will be the rest of the first book. Then there was a 3 part mini-series on TV back back in the early 2000's, this mini-series actually covered the first 3 books. At some point, I recommend you watch both the 1984 movie and the mini-series, even if you don't do a reaction to them. There is also another new Dune TV series due to come out this year. I myself really don't know anything about it, whether it's going to be a full series or mini-series or whatever.
if you get a chance watch the other versions my fav is the scifi channel version it's super low budget but story wise it is on point the lynch version uses a lot of the inner thought monologue which is also in the books this version looks how i wish the scifi channel version looked also chani's character was nothing like what zendia's character was
Magy spotting Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy was excellent! Quite the grand ceremony to send House Atreides to their death, speaking of which, did you recognize the actor who played Moon Knight, now playing the head of House Atreides? The personal shields look so sleek and in his first sparring duel with Gourney, we are shown exactly how they work, what the weaknesses are - excellent setup and delivery for later in the movie. 10:50 - You can see the scottish origins/influence for House Atreides from the use of bag pipes and the mention of their grandfather slaying bulls + the name itself making a reference to some sort of spaniard influence. The planet itself, Caladan, is a clear nod towards Catalonia. The Harkonnens knowing exactly how they'll destroy the Atreides House, because of the Emperor and with his obvious help, makes for quite the frustrating viewing experience. The Atreides' are bound by honor to answer the Emperor's call, even if they know it's a trap. 19:00 - Quite the ominous warning/wish, to take good care of one's family. Quite the betrayal from the family doctor but in hindsight, he didn't have much choice. Giving Leto a chance to take out the Baron with the poison pill/fake tooth was ingenious. The doctor probably knew deep down he wouldn't make it out alive. Idaho Duncan made quite the glorious escape and crippled a good portion of the Harkonnen's airships in the process - that was really satisfying to see. The Bene Gesserit voice commands are quite creepy, sounding very much like a witch, as you pointed out, Magy. 31:00 - A very dark prophecy and knowing how often what he dreams of comes true -this just makes that entire scene that much more frightening. 31:54 - cuteness overload ❤ 34:25 - just like in Paul's dream at the start of the movie, when he tries to warn Duncan about it. Such a heartbreaking scene, seeing Duncan die like that. Although killing doctor Kynes like that was frustrating, the way she called the worm and took her killers with her was badass, a worthy death for such an interesting character. You pointed out very well, Magy, how this feels like a first part, much more focused on world building and introducing the characters to us. There's 14 books in total, so, if the movies do well, they have plenty of material to adapt into future movies. Thank you for the epic reaction ❤
Been waitin for this ' ' Just saw Dune 2 last night in theater..... it's Unbelievable ! ... truly this set the bar for me 💯 I'm All in getting all the books now stay Awesome ⭐️
Paul's visions of the future are not unlike ours. Every day we "see" the future, or more properly multiple futures. What will happen if I do X? What if she does Y? Not every future you see comes to pass either. Some are more likely or less likely, and the path the future will take is always dependent upon these forces, our own, others, or even those unknown and unknowable. What does make Paul's visions different is the completeness with which he sees and the clarity of the various forces that can help direct toward one vision or another. That is the power of the Kwisatz Haderach that is awakening, to see all possibilities and all paths and to choose and direct the future to the desired end.
i can only imagine how hard this movie is to understand as a non-native english speaker when the movie is full of made up words english and non english words
Thank you for this reaction. Being a fan of the books, I loved this adaptation. If you have the inclination read the book. There is a lot of details that could not be filmed. For one a definition of The Voice, what it is and how it works. I am looking forward to the reactions to Star Wars (and maybe Star Trek?).
It’s no surprise that this reminds you of Starwars Maggie..George Lucas basically completely ripped of the novel DUNE 😂 I’m sure there’s interviews where he’s admitted it as well
I was a nerdy child in the 80's who wore a "Frodo Lives" t-shirt, and I felt special. Then Peter Jackson made everyone love Frodo. I was a nerdy child in the 80's who quoted the "Litany Against Fear", and I felt special. Then Denis Villeneuve made everyone quote the Litany. QUIT STEALING MY SPECIAL NERDINESS!!!
A detail about why the reverend mother was mad at jessica, their order of women, were trained in many things, they were so evolved in their control over their bodies that they literaly could chose at will the sex of the baby, and even if the insemination after sex will result in pregnancy or not, just by controling their own bodies, they also were able to leave poison inert if they consumed something that was poisoned. Also their level of control over their bodies was such that they had the ability to stop their aging, but it was forbiden, it was a serious transgresion to do that because that lead to other deviations. Also that sisterhood had being running a genetic program for centuries, among the great houses, breeding with those who they saw as having positive atributes, thats why they were mad at jessica, it was planned and estimated that jessica first baby a girl, would marry the son of another house and that marriage maybe be the one to produce that chosen one. But Jessica loved Duke Leto, and went against her orders and gave Leto what he wanted, an heir. so, that.
Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, nearly every single major sci-fi movie or tv show that had come out in the past 60 years has taken inspiration from Dune.
Thank you for an excellent reaction, Paul Atreides is 15 years old at the beginning of the film. The story is very much about political manipulation at the expense of the people or the environment. Please keep making these excellent reactions and enjoying yourselves.
Well done. When you kill a person you die yourself. You will never be the same after. For the "Kwisatz Haderach" to rise Paul had to die inside to change. Paul saw Jamis "teaching him" the ways of the desert. He did. The strong lead. You have to fight to live. You guys thought of it right away. Impressive
Important to know is that Paul - initially - sees a confusing moving future. Sometimes it comes exactly true what he foresees, sometimes not. The movie did an excellent job of visualising this, but some people seem to have struggled with understanding this crucial element of the plot. Paul's ability to see the future will improve and sharpen to absolutely perfect precognition (well, almost). However, in the first book, nothing of this is really explained in a traditional way or explained at all. The first book, "Dune", is very hyperbolic - most of the depicted conspiracy against the Atreides, most of the involved parties and so on, is NOT explained in the book at all. It is at best vaguely implied. The reader learns nothing about the reasons behind the downfall of House Atreides, he only learns how it played out directly on Arrakis. The second book, "Dune Messiah" is a tough piece of literature. It does not have a classic drama structure and no classic dramatic arch. Instead it throws the reader right into the aftermath of "Dune" with a time jump, and then it dumps on the reader TONS - TONS! - of politics, motifs, conspiracies, counter-conspiracies, counter-counterconspiracies, explanations, descriptions, actions, and more of the famous "plans within plans". This also includes TONS of background for "Dune", dumping the entire context of the anti-Atreides conspiracy on the reader, introducing many new players in the "Imperium" as well as their motivations and goals. It is only in the second book that the reader learns who really conspired against the Atreides, why they conspired, why certain involved parties took actions or decided on inaction. The reader learns who has power in the Imperium and how much. It is not only a demanding book to read, it will be difficult for Denis Villeneuve to make a well-paced, well-structured movie out of it. In the book everything feels like desperately needed, overdue background lore; in terms of a movie that would be comparable to a 4 hour movie which is nothing but exposition; exposition, exposition and even more exposition. Even though Frank Herbert wrote "Dune Messiah" a couple of years after "Dune", sometimes it feels as if he wrote the entire Atreides story and then extracted all the political games out of it, published that part as "Dune" and delivered the extracted material as "Dune Messiah". This is not how he did it, but how it feels to read the first 2 books. At the end of "Dune Messiah", Paul Atreides will be revealed, objectively, not to be an actual "good guy", and it will be revealed that it was the moment he stepped on Arrakis when he became a helpless prisoner of his own future. In "Dune Messiah", and in the third book, "Children of Dune", it is revealed that he had one real chance to change the future under a very specific conditions. He saw a special sequence of events, a path to a very far fetched future. Paul had a choice: Following that ominous special path, or do not follow it. However, he rejected his one and only opportunity - because of, well, i will not spoil it. As a consequence of the events of "Dune" and "Dune Messiah", in "Children of Dune" he dies as a tragic, trapped, helpless, mentally ill, broken, totally failed "protagonist" who had many good intentions and a good heart and a good upbringing, but caused the most terrible things in the universe ever. He caused a hundredfold worse things than good things. He also dies a tragic, sad death after he was forced to confront the complete failure of the life that he lived. After 3 books, the reader was punched in the face with the reality that "charismatic leaders" who appear nice and good do not necessarily have to be good, but that they can be very dangerous. "Dune", "Dune Messiah", and "Children of Dune" is the complete disassembly and destruction of "The Hero's Journey". It is more Game-of-Thrones-ish than Game of Thrones.
See Part 2 in an IMAX theater if you can - it is astoundingly beautiful! I enjoyed Part 1, but Part 2 is a cinematic masterpiece - it's going to be one of the biggest movies of the year!
You’ll love part 2 but PLEASE react to the original Dune movie from years ago too. Great books too. These recent movies are quite decently honouring the source material as well.
There is so much more at work on Dune than the new fans realize. Once they go the distance and read the novel then read about Frank Herbert's life leading up to his writing "Dune" it will shock you and change your views.
Okay, so that nothing is spoiled for you, AFTER you see the second part 2 of the new Dune movie, I think you should still watch the Dune movie from 1984. While the graphics are not as modern, there are still some aspects of it that just never got put through in the same way in the new movies. And, you are likely to recognize some of the actors. 🙂 I'd skip the 2000 TV series version of Dune, though Children of Dune has some interesting parts to it... that might be a Part 3 in the new movies. Fun Fact: There are several actors that are in both Dune and Star Wars (TV series and movies).
If you could, you should also watch David Lynch's Dune (1984). It's not really as good as what you watch right now, but it still has it entertaining value.
It's hard to understand everything without reading (or listening to the audio-)book ladies... But, you seemed to follow the story pretty damn well regardless; that was fun!
Star Wars is inspired by Dune, which was written in the 1960's
George Lucas ripped off jabba the hut from god emperor of dune
Dune is Star Wars if it was written for adults.
Star Wars was inspired by a lot of the past 40 years of western Science Fiction and Fantasy culture mixed with a few recent Eastern themes (Kurasawa). That is what Star Wars is, a pop culture soup of the time period of 1936 to 1976 put together in an entertaining way with out of this world special effects.
I’ve never seen that; u have evidence?
@@oobrocks Star Wars (1977) was a soup of the previous 40 years of pop culture. Eastern (Kurasawa) and Western ( Film, TV, Science Fiction and Fantasy. Special effects were WOW and everyone had fun.
The reason why it reminds you of Star Wars, Magy, is that Star Wars drew huge inspiration from Dune. The original Dune novel was written in the 1960s, over a decade before Star Wars came out, and it's success and impact were HUGE: pretty much the sci-fi equivalent of The Lord Of The Rings. It wasn't the only influence on Star Wars (there are whole videos about all those) but it was definately a major one.
Also Flash Gordon, and a few other film serials.
Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, The Dam Busters, the European comic series Valerian & Laureline... STAR WARS '77 had many inspirations.
@@thoso1973It's more 633 Squadron than the Dambusters. There's a video on RUclips showing the trench runs and 633's assault on the heavy water plant in the fjord side-by-side, and they match practically shot-for-shot.
@@MrHws5mpDon't know that one, you might be right. But the same is true for The Dam Busters; some of the dialogue is identical. And we know that George and his wife Marcia specifically used that film as inspiration for the trench run.
foundation by asimov is more like the lotr of scifi, given dune was influenced by/a response to foundation
In the book, Paul describes his visions like looking out over the dessert. You can see the tops of the dunes (the possible futures) but you don't know what is in your path to get there until you get closer. His visions go hours, days, months, years, decades and more into the future. In the movie they represented this by showing multiple and alternate visions. i.e. he sees Chani, He sees Chani and him kiss, he sees Chani kill him. He sees Jamis and they are friends, he sees Jamis kill him multiple times he sees himself kill Jamis. Paul does not know which future is the real one until he gets closer to that moment.
The best dessert to look out over is ice cream
@@papalaz4444244Cookies 'n Cream preferably.
So how close does he have to be?
I always found it sad that the writers didn't keep Dr Yueh's final words to his killer "You think you have defeated me". He knew exactly what his 'deal' with the Barron meant, and was willing to pay any price to 'end her agony'.
I don’t want to hear anything from that man, I was glad when he got his
It’s corny.
It's been a long time since I read the books, but didn't those words play a part in the Baron using his shield, defeating Yueh's plans?
@@philipgodsworth4764It isn't. Yueh Knew he and his wife would die, he had no doubt of it. What he wanted was to make sure his wife was truly dead and the Harkonen weren't actually keeping her alive indefinitely in agony. The technology available to them meant she could be practically dissected alive. feel all of it and not be allowed to die from it if they wished. Yueh's words "You think you have won? You think I don't know what I gained for my wife?" was him telling the Baron he expected this outcome and his real goal was just to ensure her torture was truly over before he died. He robbed the Baron of his moment of victory and robbed the Baron of his ability to continue torturing them both for that slight.
It's the equivalent of the Queen of Thorns telling Jamie Lannister it was her that poisoned Jofferey right after taking his poison.
@@pedantechHe had it on all the time. It was not a reaction to Yueh's comment.
The film is very image-intensive.
You can stop the film randomly and you have a picture that you can hang in your room without being embarrassed.
This is possibly the best compliment and comment I’ve read in regards to the films visuals. Damn masterpiece.
@@animagixThanks man
I thought exactly the same thing about Top Gun: Maverick, almost every shot was a potential movie poster. And I also think that Dune deserves this complement too, it really is a gorgeous movie.
Cinematography is very important, and can help to turn a movie into a masterpiece.
Recall the scene where Duke Leto says, “Damn the spice, save the men!”
In the book a big point is made that this behavior in Duke Leto shows the Fremen and Dr. Liet Kynes that the Atreides are very different bosses than the Harkonnens
(50:18) He "taught him the ways of the desert", just as he promised to in the vision.
So this is the first half of the first book. The second film is mostly the second half of the first book. A third film seems confirmed and will cover the second book - Dune: Messiah - which concludes the Paul Atreides story. There are six Dune novels in total and Frank Herbert planned a seventh but didn't complete it before his death in 1986.
I just saw part 2 last week.. and I thought it was well worth the wait.
36:41 the qualities that makes someone Magy's favorite.
1. Always shows up in style
2. Doesn't betray anyone
3. Has a big mouth
Loved this reaction! Great job!
When Paul saw Duncan after he'd died he was seeing or remembering an alternate possible timeline where Duncan was alive. Pauls visons are a mix of possible futures, which is why they aren't exactly what happens, each tiny choice alters the possible futures. And you are right he can't see all futures, only some of them, and it's constantly shifting. You are right that Paul is fighting to avoid the future, the most likely future at this point is a destructive civil war, which he is trying to avoid.
The Barron survived because he was shielded, you see the shield go red as Leto breathes out.
I've read the book many times, and this is a great adaptation. The cinematography and sound scape are incredible. The casting is top notch, and everyone is paying their part for all they are worth. I can't wait for the next movie. I really hope they stick the landing!
Magy, you are savage 😂 "Die in pain" 🤣🤣🤣
You two are great to watch together 🥰 Especially when you are simping your crushes! Thanks for being here 😊
Actually the baron lived because of his hover device. He was cursed with several genetic diseases after assaulting mother mohiam, who then gave birth to lady Jessica because of that. So he needs the hover device to get around because he is very ill. His shield would have failed if he didn’t hover up to the roof, he knew this also, which is why Dr Yueh chose the poison, as it is one of the few things that can penetrate even the best shields. Red means a shield has been pierced, which is also why he has to heal all the rest of the movie and in part two he has several more devices to help him breathe and get around.
@@mrdavman13yeah but in the book he just retreats back into another room, he doesn’t float on the ceiling.
@@yoda9256 yep just explaining how in the movie he lived
I enjoy how the movie showed us that the visions were 1) incomplete for us (Paul saw more than we were shown), and 2) inexact (only some possible futures). I think it was good to not explain this in detail. This delivery shows how Paul knows more than we do about what's going on... but not much more. We're still learning together.
Thank you for sharing, and keep up the good work!
Nice reaction!
Quick sidenote, the timing was so good as they were found by Duncan, because they had that beacon from Dr. Yueh.
The chills that this movie gives me is astounding. Also your reactions to Jason was pretty much what I expected 😂
If flying cars aren't in the cards I'd gladly accept an ornithopter.
Me to but I have seen prototypes that work ( flying cars )
A car though? Or the EV helicopters from Archer Aviation or Jobe?@@shanenolan5625
Flying cars are pointless
@@goestheboom5211 Yep I'd agree
If there really were ornithopter, everyone would be deaf.
My daughter and I went to Part 2 in the theaters last night!
Don’t fall behind, ladies!
Good reaction. The Baron survived the poison because his personal shield was on. The others didn't have shields so they died.
37:39 The Baron survived because of his shield. Shields in dune can be tuned to slow down objects doing at a specific speed, as you saw with the swords. But they can also be tuned down so low that you can prevent air molecules from passing through it, at the risk of suffocating due to lack of air. So the barons shield was so low that it saved him from the toxic gas but he almost suffocated.
One day you should take a trip back in time to the version of Dune they made in 1984 just for fun. It's wild. A lot of people consider it a mess, and it really is weird and convoluted, but the imagination and eccentricity of it is oddly endearing. It's a strange and fun time.
When I was a child I saw the original while spending the night at a friend's house. I was so intrigued. Then I noticed the book on the shelf. I stayed up, eventually fell asleep reading it. I'm sure it probably wasn't appropriate for my age. But it was so damn good.
2:17 It is the year 10,000 after the founding of the Space Guild, or around 20,000 years after the birth of Christ.
When the housekeeper calls Jessica the one she is referring to the prophecy in general ya know? The mother and the son, think like The father the son & the Holy Ghost
Did you notice that Dune is missing one of the biggest sci - fi tropes of all time?? No computers or intelligent robots. It's part of the Dune backstory. Humanity was enslaved by AI. They fought a war to free themselves from the thinking machines, The Butlerian Jihad. After that advanced computers and AI were banned.
We know where 40k took inspiration from 😉
That is one of the biggest misconceptions of dune that ai enslaved humans when it was humans with intelligent machines that enslaved other humans and that was pushed by the butlerian to become the rulers of the galaxy
Dune part 2 now playing in movie theaters
Them uploading that video now is not a coincidence.
If you like Jason Momoa, check out Stargate Atlantis. In Seasons 2-4 he plays an alien so well I have trouble seeing him in anything else and not thinking of him as Ronon Dex. Be warned, though, if you want to understand what's going on you'll have to watch the movie and the first eight seasons of SG-1, so it's a commitment. But I love the show, so take it as you will.
Now, I’ve certainly never claimed to be a prophet or to have had prophetic dreams but, the way it’s written, I’d say Paul’s abilities to see into the future seem like they’re very similar to Dr. Strange in Infinity War and Endgame.
Paul sees a number of future possibilities and then has to navigate through the bad ones to get to the one he wants
This is definitely a challenging watch. I’ve seen it 3 times and it actually gets better every time. You pick up every single part of the story and realize more and more how grand and significant it all is. And the visions are meant to be confusing. They don’t show exactly what happens, but some general themes.
Dune ends just like LOTR The Fellowship of the Ring. It concludes the first leg of the journey, but it ominously begins the next leg. Essentially, this first movie is the first half of the first Dune book. The second movie covers the second half of it. Then a third movie, which is a foregone conclusion at this point, will cover the second book "Messiah". Really good stuff. As for the movie itself, the size and scope of this story translates so well to the big screen. And everyone involved with it did a great job. Even though this first movie was a slow burn, it really built the world, the characters and the story well. So much so that anyone that didn't read the books, can understand what is going on. Well, for the most part. Visually it is a masterpiece. Breathtaking, sweeping shots and cinematography. The acting is also superb. But that is to be expected with such a phenomenal cast, one that only expands in the second movie. And one thing that rarely gets mentioned is the sound design and soundtrack. It is so good. Hans Zimmer really captured the mood. All-around it is just a fantastic movie. Part 2 just expands on all of this.
I always love watching the reactions. At the beginning everyone’s like “Paul’s the good guy.’ And then Pauls vision in the stiltent standing above the troops off the back of the ship “Wait…Paul’s the good guy right?….Right??” Dune’s central theme is the danger of charismatic leaders and the momentum they create can quickly go out of their control.
is Paul really a bad guy though? he’s a victim of fate. he takes alternative paths to what he sees to try and prevent the Jihad but they all lead to the same result. Like in the books he says “They’ll call me Muad’dib.” so later he chooses to be called “Paul Muad’dib.” that’s just the best example i can think of off the top of my head.
@@yoda9256 nah he choose that path he could have just gone into exile or live as a freemen but he choose vengeance which leads To what comes next and yeah then its out of his control unless he choses to lose
@@NoName-kf5cu he literally mentions he could do that as well but he doesn’t want to kill himself as he believes he can change what he saw
@@yoda9256 if he wanted to win he only had one destructive path thats why he was relunctant but he still chose that path.
@@NoName-kf5cu no lol, he thought he could change his future, he didn’t fight Jami’s with the intention of dominating the galaxy
Magy, there was indeed an earlier movie (released in 1984) and a more recent miniseries (which I haven’t seen). The 1984 movie Dune starred Kyle Machlachlan as Paul and was directed by David Lynch. It was seen as kind of a disaster at the time! That movie tried to do the entire book in one film, and the original cut of the movie was 3 1/2 hours long - way too long for audiences back then. Unfortunately the studio cut it down by over an hour and left the director no control over it - Lynch asked them to take his name off the credits as director, but they wouldn’t do it.
So the end result was missing huge amounts of story and didn’t make much sense if you hadn’t read the books (hell, even if you HAD read them). And the VFX were… well… great by 1984 standards, but look pretty cheesy these days!😅
That said, there are a lot of people who still love that version of Dune - it’s a nostalgia watch for fans of older sci-fi, and there IS some good acting in it - Kyle’s Paul Atreides got him a lot of attention. Heck, even Sting shows up playing a bad guy.😂
The miniseries was fine but suffered from being inexpensive (you could see the fabric creases in the backdrops as it wasn't filmed in a desert) and the cast wasn't of the stature of either the 84 or recent movies.
Dune Part 2 is so good. Saw it at an early screening preview event.
I saw part 2 four times now and it def completes part 1 as a whole story. 10/10 for me on all fronts
Hey Magy, this version of "Dune," particularly in reference to the character of Paul Atriedes, is a lot more accurate to the novels than they original 1984 movie adaptation that had Kyle Maclochlan in the role of Paul Atriedes. In the novel, Paul was a teenager, whereas in the 1984 version of this movie, Kyle Maclochlan was about mid to late 20s or early 30s
remember that pauls visions only show him a POSSIBLE future, not THE future.
The Dune series is an amazing story. The David Lynch 1983 Film is the first book, whereas this is split in 2 parts. There is also a 2000 Sci-fi Channel mini Series by John Harrison. Both are worth watching.
Dave Batista is a underrated actor.
Yo, agreed random internet person!
His small role at the beginning of BR 2049 was so good.
He keeps getting typecasted as the angry, yelling, brute. His role in BR2049 was a breath of fresh air and highlighted his dramatic range.
@@sofreshsogreen Absolutely.
This movie was amazing. I just saw part 2 in theaters the other night. It was even better!
That "I thought we'd have more time" hurts my soul.
What I love so much of DUNE is as similar as Star Wars. Everything got to do with space-travel, villainy plots, galactic politics, multiversal wars, awakening injustice, and unexpected extraordinary events that would soon happen. Believe me when I say it, the incredible mind-blowing parts will come in DUNE 2. And I can't wait any much longer to see it for myself and to tell anyone what I really think of it.
Best luck to you all viewers and travel your imaginations.
Dune part 1 is very good movie
The various versions of Dune are worth comparing: the 1984 movie's focus on the Navigators of the Spacing Guild especially, as they begin the whole mess, by seeing 'trouble on the horizon' = Paul.
What survives of the earlier 1979 unfinished project, which had some music written for it by Pink Floyd, had an influence on Villeneuve's move.
Many of the designs, especially of the palaces and buildings, date from that project.
The TV miniseries of Dune and Children of Dune from the 1990s tends to be thuddingly literal and tends to go odd in all the wrong places, but the designs and performances are European and interesting.
- and of course, the book. The appendices are useful for Herbert's commentaries on how his own story went.
I really like that there is a bit of discussion after the videos. It's great to listen to! Thanks for the reaction.
The first dune novel which is adapted into dune part 1 and part 2 came out in 1965. The second novel Dune Messiah which will be adapted into dune part 3 the second novel came out in 1969 n the third children of dune in 1975. All 3 novels were already out before the original star wars film which came out in 1977. Only the last 3 novels of the dune saga came out afterstar wars so dune came before star wars n so many other franchises. Dune started in 1965.
Magy obsesion with worms 😂 (38:19) "I want this worm, because it's biiig" 🤣🤣🤣
What a coincidence you're watching this right after the sequel came out lol. And boy was it amazing... Look forward to reaction the that when it heads to streaming a few months from now!
It's not a coincidence lol
A beginning is the time for taking the most delicate care that the balances are correct. This every sister of the Bene Gesserit knows. To begin your study of the life of Maud'Dib, then, take care that you first place him in his time: born in the 57th year of the Padishah Emperor, Shaddam IV. And take the most special care that you locate Maud'Dib in his place: the planet Arrakis. Do not be deceived by the fact that he was born on Caladan and lived his first fifteen years there. Arrakis, the planet known as Dune, is forever his place.
If you really want to be stunned, now watch the 1984 "Dune" movie that even includes Sting!
Yes... there are other movies and a LOT of books and stuff. Let's see....
there are 6 original books written by Frank Herbert between 1965 and 1985. Then there are another 20 or so books (written between 1999 and now) co-written by Brian Herbert (Frank's son) and Kevin J. Anderson, which include 3 prequels, 3 "Legends of Dune", 2 "sequels", 3 "Heroes of Dune", 3 "Great Schools of Dune", and 3 "The Caladan Trilogy". Frank Herbert also wrote 1 short story in 1985 and Brian and Kevin wrote 13 short stories from 2001 to now! There is also a few different comic book series.
As for video...there is obviously this movie and part 2 which just came out last weekend and grossed something like 178 million dollars worldwide opening weekend, which is awesome, it could hit 1 billion dollars... and I saw a non-spoiler review from a source I trust and apparently part 2 is REALLY well done. Not perfect, but a very very good movie.
As for previous video, there's the 1984 movie. Hmmm... the 1984 movie is the entire first book. This movie here you just reacted to is about half of the first book, and we assume part 2 will be the rest of the first book. Then there was a 3 part mini-series on TV back back in the early 2000's, this mini-series actually covered the first 3 books. At some point, I recommend you watch both the 1984 movie and the mini-series, even if you don't do a reaction to them.
There is also another new Dune TV series due to come out this year. I myself really don't know anything about it, whether it's going to be a full series or mini-series or whatever.
if you get a chance watch the other versions my fav is the scifi channel version it's super low budget but story wise it is on point the lynch version uses a lot of the inner thought monologue which is also in the books this version looks how i wish the scifi channel version looked also chani's character was nothing like what zendia's character was
Magy spotting Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy was excellent!
Quite the grand ceremony to send House Atreides to their death, speaking of which, did you recognize the actor who played Moon Knight, now playing the head of House Atreides?
The personal shields look so sleek and in his first sparring duel with Gourney, we are shown exactly how they work, what the weaknesses are - excellent setup and delivery for later in the movie.
10:50 - You can see the scottish origins/influence for House Atreides from the use of bag pipes and the mention of their grandfather slaying bulls + the name itself making a reference to some sort of spaniard influence. The planet itself, Caladan, is a clear nod towards Catalonia.
The Harkonnens knowing exactly how they'll destroy the Atreides House, because of the Emperor and with his obvious help, makes for quite the frustrating viewing experience. The Atreides' are bound by honor to answer the Emperor's call, even if they know it's a trap.
19:00 - Quite the ominous warning/wish, to take good care of one's family.
Quite the betrayal from the family doctor but in hindsight, he didn't have much choice. Giving Leto a chance to take out the Baron with the poison pill/fake tooth was ingenious. The doctor probably knew deep down he wouldn't make it out alive.
Idaho Duncan made quite the glorious escape and crippled a good portion of the Harkonnen's airships in the process - that was really satisfying to see.
The Bene Gesserit voice commands are quite creepy, sounding very much like a witch, as you pointed out, Magy.
31:00 - A very dark prophecy and knowing how often what he dreams of comes true -this just makes that entire scene that much more frightening.
31:54 - cuteness overload ❤
34:25 - just like in Paul's dream at the start of the movie, when he tries to warn Duncan about it. Such a heartbreaking scene, seeing Duncan die like that.
Although killing doctor Kynes like that was frustrating, the way she called the worm and took her killers with her was badass, a worthy death for such an interesting character.
You pointed out very well, Magy, how this feels like a first part, much more focused on world building and introducing the characters to us.
There's 14 books in total, so, if the movies do well, they have plenty of material to adapt into future movies.
Thank you for the epic reaction ❤
Babs Olusanmokun, who plays Jamis, also plays Dr Joseph M'Benga in Star Trek -- Strange New Worlds.
The funny thing is, Dune is the Lord of the Rings to Syfy as the Lord of the Rings is to Fantasy, the modern inspiration for basically everything
Magy, read a book called The Butliarian Jihad, it tells you how the whole Dune Universe began.
Been waitin for this ' '
Just saw Dune 2 last night in theater.....
it's Unbelievable ! ... truly
this set the bar for me 💯
I'm All in
getting all the books now
stay Awesome ⭐️
Paul's visions of the future are not unlike ours. Every day we "see" the future, or more properly multiple futures. What will happen if I do X? What if she does Y? Not every future you see comes to pass either. Some are more likely or less likely, and the path the future will take is always dependent upon these forces, our own, others, or even those unknown and unknowable.
What does make Paul's visions different is the completeness with which he sees and the clarity of the various forces that can help direct toward one vision or another. That is the power of the Kwisatz Haderach that is awakening, to see all possibilities and all paths and to choose and direct the future to the desired end.
Magy, you’re the first woman reactor who likes the worm’s look 😂. Most people are genuinely creeped out by it.
i can only imagine how hard this movie is to understand as a non-native english speaker when the movie is full of made up words english and non english words
Great storyline and movie! The original Dune movie was very good as well. You girls are so darn pretty!
Thank you for this reaction. Being a fan of the books, I loved this adaptation. If you have the inclination read the book. There is a lot of details that could not be filmed. For one a definition of The Voice, what it is and how it works.
I am looking forward to the reactions to Star Wars (and maybe Star Trek?).
You girls are going to love Dune 2, I saw it last night wow it was awesome.
The visions are often metaphors.
It’s no surprise that this reminds you of Starwars Maggie..George Lucas basically completely ripped of the novel DUNE 😂 I’m sure there’s interviews where he’s admitted it as well
Lmao way to over exaggerat massively my guy
@@goestheboom5211yeah a bit of an exaggeration but Frank Herbert did say it took restraint to not sue Lucas lol
@YVLIVS yeah but there's barely any similarities
I was a nerdy child in the 80's who wore a "Frodo Lives" t-shirt, and I felt special.
Then Peter Jackson made everyone love Frodo.
I was a nerdy child in the 80's who quoted the "Litany Against Fear", and I felt special.
Then Denis Villeneuve made everyone quote the Litany.
QUIT STEALING MY SPECIAL NERDINESS!!!
Dune came first!!! Published in 1966.
A detail about why the reverend mother was mad at jessica, their order of women, were trained in many things, they were so evolved in their control over their bodies that they literaly could chose at will the sex of the baby, and even if the insemination after sex will result in pregnancy or not, just by controling their own bodies, they also were able to leave poison inert if they consumed something that was poisoned. Also their level of control over their bodies was such that they had the ability to stop their aging, but it was forbiden, it was a serious transgresion to do that because that lead to other deviations. Also that sisterhood had being running a genetic program for centuries, among the great houses, breeding with those who they saw as having positive atributes, thats why they were mad at jessica, it was planned and estimated that jessica first baby a girl, would marry the son of another house and that marriage maybe be the one to produce that chosen one. But Jessica loved Duke Leto, and went against her orders and gave Leto what he wanted, an heir. so, that.
Dune is arguably the most epic horror movie series of all time!
Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar, nearly every single major sci-fi movie or tv show that had come out in the past 60 years has taken inspiration from Dune.
Not exactly dune isn't the only inspiration
3:55 They way you swoon over Duncan Idaho
Thank you for an excellent reaction, Paul Atreides is 15 years old at the beginning of the film. The story is very much about political manipulation at the expense of the people or the environment. Please keep making these excellent reactions and enjoying yourselves.
The book Dune inspired Star Wars.
Ladies, where do you think Star Wars got its start? Dune is far older than Star Wars. Written/published in 1965.
George Lucas was inspired for Star Wars from Dune.
Well done. When you kill a person you die yourself. You will never be the same after. For the "Kwisatz Haderach" to rise Paul had to die inside to change. Paul saw Jamis "teaching him" the ways of the desert. He did. The strong lead. You have to fight to live. You guys thought of it right away. Impressive
@03:55 - well, I think we've discovered Foxy's type...
I saw Part 2 on February 28…I personally liked Part 1 more…but Part 2 is excellent also…just different.
Important to know is that Paul - initially - sees a confusing moving future. Sometimes it comes exactly true what he foresees, sometimes not.
The movie did an excellent job of visualising this, but some people seem to have struggled with understanding this crucial element of the plot.
Paul's ability to see the future will improve and sharpen to absolutely perfect precognition (well, almost).
However, in the first book, nothing of this is really explained in a traditional way or explained at all. The first book, "Dune", is very hyperbolic - most of the depicted conspiracy against the Atreides, most of the involved parties and so on, is NOT explained in the book at all. It is at best vaguely implied. The reader learns nothing about the reasons behind the downfall of House Atreides, he only learns how it played out directly on Arrakis.
The second book, "Dune Messiah" is a tough piece of literature. It does not have a classic drama structure and no classic dramatic arch. Instead it throws the reader right into the aftermath of "Dune" with a time jump, and then it dumps on the reader TONS - TONS! - of politics, motifs, conspiracies, counter-conspiracies, counter-counterconspiracies, explanations, descriptions, actions, and more of the famous "plans within plans". This also includes TONS of background for "Dune", dumping the entire context of the anti-Atreides conspiracy on the reader, introducing many new players in the "Imperium" as well as their motivations and goals.
It is only in the second book that the reader learns who really conspired against the Atreides, why they conspired, why certain involved parties took actions or decided on inaction. The reader learns who has power in the Imperium and how much. It is not only a demanding book to read, it will be difficult for Denis Villeneuve to make a well-paced, well-structured movie out of it.
In the book everything feels like desperately needed, overdue background lore; in terms of a movie that would be comparable to a 4 hour movie which is nothing but exposition; exposition, exposition and even more exposition.
Even though Frank Herbert wrote "Dune Messiah" a couple of years after "Dune", sometimes it feels as if he wrote the entire Atreides story and then extracted all the political games out of it, published that part as "Dune" and delivered the extracted material as "Dune Messiah". This is not how he did it, but how it feels to read the first 2 books.
At the end of "Dune Messiah", Paul Atreides will be revealed, objectively, not to be an actual "good guy", and it will be revealed that it was the moment he stepped on Arrakis when he became a helpless prisoner of his own future. In "Dune Messiah", and in the third book, "Children of Dune", it is revealed that he had one real chance to change the future under a very specific conditions.
He saw a special sequence of events, a path to a very far fetched future. Paul had a choice: Following that ominous special path, or do not follow it.
However, he rejected his one and only opportunity - because of, well, i will not spoil it.
As a consequence of the events of "Dune" and "Dune Messiah", in "Children of Dune" he dies as a tragic, trapped, helpless, mentally ill, broken, totally failed "protagonist" who had many good intentions and a good heart and a good upbringing, but caused the most terrible things in the universe ever. He caused a hundredfold worse things than good things. He also dies a tragic, sad death after he was forced to confront the complete failure of the life that he lived.
After 3 books, the reader was punched in the face with the reality that "charismatic leaders" who appear nice and good do not necessarily have to be good, but that they can be very dangerous.
"Dune", "Dune Messiah", and "Children of Dune" is the complete disassembly and destruction of "The Hero's Journey". It is more Game-of-Thrones-ish than Game of Thrones.
Part 2 is better imo
You guys need to see part 2 on the biggest screen you can.
Such an epic movie. The scale and music is amazing
See Part 2 in an IMAX theater if you can - it is astoundingly beautiful! I enjoyed Part 1, but Part 2 is a cinematic masterpiece - it's going to be one of the biggest movies of the year!
You’ll love part 2 but PLEASE react to the original Dune movie from years ago too. Great books too. These recent movies are quite decently honouring the source material as well.
Lots of nerd cameos! Aquaman, Drax, MJ, Thanos, Willy Wonka, Moon Knight, etc!
This movie, and the next, are book 1 of about 6 by the original author. The third, and last movie, will be book 2.
Part Two is even better, can't wait to see your reactions
Magy you still have to do a reaction vid for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
There is so much more at work on Dune than the new fans realize. Once they go the distance and read the novel then read about Frank Herbert's life leading up to his writing "Dune" it will shock you and change your views.
"Feels like he's a pawn in a bigger game"
That's about it.
I haven't seen seen this movie before until now! Don't have to watch the full ( too long) movie now! 🤗
Okay, so that nothing is spoiled for you, AFTER you see the second part 2 of the new Dune movie, I think you should still watch the Dune movie from 1984. While the graphics are not as modern, there are still some aspects of it that just never got put through in the same way in the new movies. And, you are likely to recognize some of the actors. 🙂 I'd skip the 2000 TV series version of Dune, though Children of Dune has some interesting parts to it... that might be a Part 3 in the new movies.
Fun Fact: There are several actors that are in both Dune and Star Wars (TV series and movies).
Please continue with the fantastic beasts saga, 2 in my opinion is the best
Magy's baby looks just like his dad.
If you could, you should also watch David Lynch's Dune (1984). It's not really as good as what you watch right now, but it still has it entertaining value.
If you are interested, there are a ton of lore videos here on youtube
I like in this movie they give the characters that die an epic death.
Girls watch the second part while it projected in cinema. You have to see it on big screen.
Both Star Wars and Game of Thrones…as well as many other SciFi were heavily influenced by Dune/Frank Herbert…
Not exactly dune isn't the only thing that inspires others work

Which of the other languages in Dune sounds most like Bulgarian, if you were to guess? Chakobsa, Sardaukar, or Galach?
