Quick note, the Spice isn't used as fuel for traveling through space, its used to "find the safe paths between the stars." One thing I think these new movies didn't make too clear about the Dune universe is there are no supercomputers or thinking machines or AI. In the Dune universe a war to defeat AI was won thousands of years in the past and AI was banned. Humanity had to find other ways to solve problems we would normally use supercomputers for, such as navigating through space. The Spice, when consumed in large amounts, helps humans operate at the level of a super computer.
So you're saying that in order to navigate in space, they need to be high?
@@markosmatrozos4175 Yep, it's pretty much what Warhammer 40k pulled from this series for inspiration in their space travel - they just use "psykers" instead of tripping mofos.
@@markosmatrozos4175 Very high. Like gas mask attached to a bong high. Like chilling in a hotbox 24/7 high. Like smoking so much it mutates your body high.
@@Arsolon618 Really? I've only watched this movie and I was joking
@@markosmatrozos4175 Very high Spice usage unlocks the mind to limited prescience, allowing the Guild Navigators to see a small way into the future and therefore predict safe routes for their ships' FTL drives.
*Fun Fact:* The salute Duncan gives to Paul before he dies was actually improvised by Jason Mamoa. It’s the traditional salute that is used when training in Escrima, the Filipino martial art of stick and knife fighting that was used for the film. He learned it from the fight choreographers for Dune Part One and asked the director if he could use it. Dennis Villeneuve loved it so much he had Paul use it in both movies.
This is the best trivia about this...
yeah. i dabble a bit in arnis/escrima/kali and when i found out that they trained in FMA, the action suddenly all made sense to me.
Might be a combination idea since there is mention in the book of a salute with a horizontal blade
@@raelalafulyes, that greeting is a horizontal knife in the chest
Wow, cool!
Because the world building is so intricate, people have described the experience of reading or watching as if you were in a future history.
Dune to me has the most verisimilitude out of any sci-fi series. It feels like an actually possible future.
Can I please breathe oxygen for lunch tomorrow
Kristen -
1) The languages are well-thought-out in the book. The Great Houses usually have their own forms of sign language and a specific spoken language for use in battle (called Battle Language). The book Dune was written in 1965, and science fiction at that time was hardcore about how humans could and should develop themselves. It was less about the tech and hardware, but about how we progress as a species. Herbert really did this in all his novels, both the six Dune novels as well as his novels outside of that universe.
2) The Lisan-al-Gaib/Mahdi/Kwisatz Haderach prophecies while interconnected, were separate initially. The Kwisatz Haderach was actually early. The program the Bene Gesserit were working on was supposed to have an Atreides daughter (from Jessica) bred to a Harkonnen heir...that pairing was supposed to be the true Kwisatz Haderach. The Lisan-al Gaib/Mahdi was originally just about manipulating the masses in case a Bene Gesserit needed to, their Missionaria Protectiva arm planted similar and different prophecies throughout the galaxy, on many different planets. It was all a form of control. The main mandate of the Bene Gesserit is politics.
3) Spice, called Melange in the novels, is supposed to have a strong cinnamon smell, and allows the user to expand their consciousness, heal, and extend their life span. If you stop taking it, it is a subtle poison that the withdrawals kill the user. When the Baron is in the dark sludge...that is spice, lots of spice. This is what opens and expands Paul's mind.
4) Something not covered in the film is that Paul not only has Bene Gesserit training from Jessica, but has been trained in the mental ways of the Mentats. The character of Thufir Hawat is the Atreides mentat, he had the parasol on Arrakis, and the mark on his bottom lip. Thufir trained 3 generations of Atreides, the Old Duke, Leto, and Paul. Paul had the intelligence to be trained as a Mentat, the human computers. There was a war against AI called the Butlerian Jihad, that caused humans to develop themselves more...this was how the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats, and the Spacing Guild came to be. There are no supercomputers for space travel, but navigators who use the spice as a visionary aid to navigate the stars. There are no computers for strategy and business purposes, so Mentats are trained to calculate all sorts of things. All of this is to say with the bloodlines manipulation and Jessica's training from the Bene Geserit and the Mentat training from Thufir...Paul is very special indeed.
5) Something that is not covered in the movies, but is in the novels...the spice is connected to the sandworms. They might explain how in the third Dune film, based on the second novel Dune Messiah, so I won't say further. In the book, the explanation is given by Chani...because in the novel, Chani is the daughter of Dr. Liet Kynes (who is actually a man in the novel). I am hoping that it was just unsaid in the films, and that Zendaya knew that she was Liet's daughter, and that Sharon Duncan-Brewster knew that Chani was her daughter. They changed how Kynes died in this (which is more badass than the novel) but left that thread hanging.
6) Leto and Jessica were deeply in love, and that is why Jessica bore Paul and not a daughter. They were unmarried, and she was bound to him as a concubine so any child she bore would be his heir. However, they both knew that Leto needed to be free for a politically advantageous marriage. Jessica would have politically encouraged him with the right match, as a Bene Gesserit.
7) Leto's pause before adding his seal to the document taking over Arrakis is very much a thing. Everyone in House Atreides knows that this is a trap. Especially Leto. A quote from the book, "The first step in avoiding a trap, is knowing of its existence."
8) 58:23 - You hit the nail on the head. One of the primary themes of Herbert's novels is the repetition of patterns in history. When you meet Princess Irulan (Florence Pugh) in Dune, Part Two, it becomes more obvious. As the novel progresses, most of the chapters begin with an epigraph written by Irulan, who is an historian at heart. The Saudaukar are not just fanatical warriors, war is their religion. This story is about many things...religion, politics, ecology, Jungian psychology & archetypes, metaphysics, history's repeating patterns, spirituality, the messianic impulse, the inherent corruption surrounding power structures, the danger of charismatic leaders, and the debate of choice vs. destiny.
9) One last thing, the little mouse is important. It is a kangaroo mouse that the Fremen call "muad'dib". It means teacher, muad'dib is wise in the ways of the desert...
Thanks for the wonderful background info. A general question: do you think it was naive for the Bene gesserit to Believe that can control someone who can see multiple possible futures? For any extended time period?
@@davidjackson2832 Personally, yes. This is definitely proved in later books.
Criminally underrated comment & explanation. Nice work and thank you on behalf of every yet to read this.
Bro, crushed it. Great comment!
Can I please breathe oxygen for lunch tomorrow?
When Paul has a vision it is not the future. It is a possible future. His vision of Jamis (who he killed in the duel at the end) was a possible future.
Yup entire point of the fight scene, show that Paul's visions aren't a fixed future but just the most likely.
There's also the interpretation that the vision of Jamis was more symbolic. Jamis did "teach him the ways of the desert" just not in the literal way the visions showed. I personally like to look at it as a little bit of both, multiple possible futures but also layered in meaning.
@@MysteriousMrLyeah a lot of what he say Jami’s teaching him, is what they relayed to Chani and Paul seeing himself fighting the Sardaukar with the Fedaykin was eventually revealed to be Chani even down to the movements. Great way to show Paul’s unreliable prescience before he takes the Water of Life
You could argue that the true prophet in this film is Chani. I’m pretty sure everything she says in the film is correct.
FYI spice isn’t fuel. It’s an hallucinogen used by the Spacing Guild to visualize paths through hyperspace since there are no computers to make these calculations.
That makes so much more sense
I guess it's kinda like brain fuel then
spice = ganja
@@ultranationalistkillordie1748 my impression was it’s more like shrooms or acid
@@-Antagonist i mean people used to consume ganja and then meditate to perform travel outside their body .
Just theories
A small correction for you: When this came out it wasn't a matter of "how long until the next one comes out" it was a matter of "will the studio greenlight another one". The movie did well so the deal was signed.
Not only can the visions change (they show POSSIBLE futures), but the Fremen he killed (Jamis) *did* teach him about the desert. He taught him that death is the cost sometimes.
I first read Dune when I was 10 or 11 and was awestruck at how intricate and colorful this story was. I have read it at least once a year of my 60+ years of my life.
When you think about it, even though the future where Jamisis Paul's mentor didn't come to pass, Paul still learned from him. It made Paul's decision to kill him that much harder. He saw a friend.
I watched part 2 the other day and it did not feel like 2 hours 45 mins! It raced by, I wanted more!
Same, holy hell is that a good movie. I really can't wait to see it again.
ive watched 5 times dune is wonderful
Kristen fanboying over Rebecca Ferguson is something i did not see coming, but i am all for it. She's one of the best and versatile actresses going around at the moment. You should watch Part 2, she's just as good if not better.
Damn, Kristen's car crash story shook me. Kept thinking about it throughout the reaction.
This movie shines in the aesthetics, cinematography department
Note that the emporer charged the harkonen for 2 legions of Sardakar and the guild charged them a fortune to transport the soldiers. A lot of the guild profits for transport goes back to the empower. The empower did this to kill off a rising Atreidies star and to almost bankrupt the Harkonens. The emporer was the true villain but there was a semi secret groups pulling the strings behind the emporer.
You mean the Bene Gesserit right? I haven’t read the books, so idk.
@@maddyzk lol. I didn't want to say as some would consider it a spoiler prior to seeing the 2nd movie. That being said if you pay attention in the first film they indicate the BG's are manipulating politics from behind the scenes. The politics and economic warfare going on with all the houses in the Lansrad, the spacing guild, the empower and the BG's is very complex in the book. I'm actually glad the movie doesn't lean into those details. It would have been confusing.
THAT was a lot of fun!
Kristen is so lucky that she can see Part2 immediately. The wait was interminable...
Achara was really great at NOT spoiling anything in the film, no matter how much K wanted to know.
The thing with us bald guys might be that without hairs, our heads look "almost" like a skull... hence the "frightening" look. ;)
As for the Baron, he must use gravity suspensors, due to his massive body.
The cinematography is great, and the knife duels are well choreographed. I love Timothee Chalemet as an actor, and this is one of the best movies he’s been in.
Note: when Jessica was interviewing housekeepers and noted that Shadout Mapes had a concealed weapon.... Mapes interrupted her... because Jessica was ABOUT to say "maker of death", but Mapes heard "Maker" and misinterpreted... "The Maker" is what the Fremen call the sandworms, or Shai-Halud. The knife was fashioned from a worm's tooth, also known as a crysknife. Therefore the blade is from a Maker. Mapes heard what she wanted to hear and Jessica let it play out... because just as with "Lisan al Ga'ib", the prophetic religious paranoia was instilled BY the Bene Gesserit is a tool for the coming of the Kwizat Haderak... the boy genetically bred by the manipulation of the Bene Gesserit. (This plan is that Jessica violated by having a son instead of a daughter.)
This is what Mother Gaius meant by "on Arakis, we've done what we could".
One of these prophecies is "he'll know your ways". So Mapes thought Jessica knew the knife was from a sandworm, thus knee the Fremen ways. Just as Liet Kynes noticed Paul's competency with the stilsuit.
What makes this Paul line about being a freak matter, is he feels he has no agency and autonomy. He can’t do as he wishes and can’t act as he wishes, because his destiny is decided for him. And it’s not a wonderful destiny, filled with sunshine and hope. It’s filled with brutality, war and death.
Powers are cool, but knowing you will use these powers to kill untold billions is a whole other ball game
20:34
The bodies being harvested for blood are all failed Sardaukar recruits
Interestingly the Freman also collect bodily fluids from the dead.
I genuinely dont understand how people have said this, or Part Two is boring or made them fall asleep!
Its amazing visual storytelling.
I love that sequence with the worm and the harvester. "I recognise your footsteps, Old Man." In hindsight Paul is talking to the worm as well as Gurney who is coming to retrieve him: Shai-Hulud means "Old Man of the Desert." 🖤
I hope Denis Villeneuve gets to direct RENDEZVOUS WITH RAMA
Because he's perfect
He is going to direct that. He said in one of his recent interviews, that there are two projects he's going to do next, is “Cleopatra” and the other one is “Rendezvous with Rama”. He doesn't know which to pick first so he's waiting for the first script that's ready to go. Seems like Cleopatra is more likely his next since 1917 movie screenwriter Krysty Wilson writing the script now.
@@bookofmystery9670 and he still might do dune messiah next as well. On the dune 2 press tour he still wasn't 100% sure if dune messiah would be his next project or the one after so that isn't completely ruled out either
@@tylergraham6662 hes definitely doing Messiah, hes already got a rough draft of the script done and Hans Zimmer has already started working on the score. From what ive read tho, hes taking a break and working on another project (hopefully Rendezvous with Rama!) before finishing the trilogy. Works out tho since theres a significant time skip in the book so no need to rush. Dune part 2's ending was so satisfying that, while im super hyped for Messiah, im perfectly ok with him taking as much time as he wants.
Denis is one of those directors who come once in a blue moon.
He could perfectly adapt various legendary sci-fi stories, but you can only direct so much in one lifetime.
Jessica lowkey is my favorite character, and even more so in the book since she has a lot of chapters entirely from her PoV.
Dude, I was REALLY hoping for a rewatch of any of the people I know and follow after Part 2 and BOY was I pleasantly surprised, Kristen's reaction, interest and instant love for this movie made me smile so much! Loved it
Everyone was on their A game. I absolutely love Ferguson, she's so fking awesome. Timothee chalamet....no words. I love the witches.
When Chani says "I wonder who will be our next oppressor, camera cuts to Paul in bed.....🤔🤔🤔
Kristen sounds so relieved she doesn't have to wait for part 2. I guess we aren't going to clue her in that she'll have to wait who knows how long for part 3 😅
It is a desert planet so any moisture is sacred. So spitting might seem foul to us but if there is a scarcity of water spitting can be considered a form of courtesy.
Yes Fremen are trained from birth not to waste bodily fluids. So spitting is not normally a thing. So it’s shows great respect
Paul's dreams are precognitive. He sees different possible futures. He eventually becomes able to identify the best way forward... something he calls The Golden Path.
37:25 Jamis' death did teach Paul that the desert is a brutal, unforgiving place if you’re not prepared for it. Like the Baron said earlier, "The desert takes the weak."
The presentation and use of the sign language (the Atradies battle language) is so damn good. Glad you enjoyed it!
Kristen dropping that n they just move on is so insane
I loved that you guys talked for about as long as the YT movie watching portion. So many reactions have no post-watch discussion or, at best, a few minutes, but you guys went on and on. Love to hear that. Also, appreciate that, since Achara had already seen this before, she set up Kristen with the questions and got her to kinda go over her thoughts on the movie, characters and themes.
Denis Villeneuve makes his movies with PASSION and NOT just for money ;) That's the big difference between him and Hollywood. The Dune part 2 is, in my opinion, total perfection!!!
The Bene Gesserit are like a nightmare fusion of the Sith and the Catholic Church. A trained Bene Gesserit Sister like Jessica has full control over each muscle in her body through training known as prana-bindu. This allows her to bend the last joint in her little toe while remaining otherwise motionless, bend and contort her body in ways that most would consider impossible, or put a remarkable amount of force behind a physical blow.
And like many imperialistic religious organizations, they used a strategy called the Missionaria Protectiva, a system of sowing implant-legends throughout the known universe with a prophecy pattern for the protection. So if any Bene Gesserit sister were lost on a planet that was affected by this strategy they can manipulate the masses to the own ends.
Also, some of the sisters and reverend mothers reaction speed are so elevated by their training and breeding that they can sometimes move faster than the eye can follow, (this is covered more in later books). Their talents in hand to hand/infighting are considered equal to if not superior to sarduakar
@Niven110 just find it funny that no Saudarkar can beat Duncan and Thanos. The film does not show how strong the Saudarkar are except for being great in numbers.
@@IamNinjaOfNinja don’t know if you’ve already read the books, but if not, it makes more sense do to the fact that the sardaukar had started to lose some of their effectiveness due to arrogance from centuries of not being challenged by an opposing military of comparable strength. They had also lost part of their warrior culture due to easier living (compared to barely surviving on their home world). Lastly, both Duncan and Gurney were known among the great houses as some of the most talented/trained fighters in the imperium. Both of them were responsible for training the Atreides military into such a effective force that the Emperor worried they might be able to take on his Sarduakar
You guys are my kind of people. I love Dune part 1 honestly don't get how some people find it boring, it's beautiful.
Dune is my kinda Star Wars (I know they’re different) but Star Wars bored me to sleep but this movie kept me on my toes LOVEEEEEE ❤
"Most people watch this more than once."
I watched it for the first time 13 days ago, on april 1 2024... I have since watched it 5 more times. It is THAT good.
Paul can see the lines of the future, some are set, and others have points that can be changed. Jamis had a line where he was Pauls friend. but that alternate line was ended by forcing the duel.
The Author (Herbet) built a tremendously details and complex world, with connectedness and consistency.
The spice harvester scene - "So what are they gonna do now, kill it?" - the LOL that escaped my lips!
DEFINITELY have her watch Dune 2. That movie is absolutely amazing. As good as part 1 is, Dune 2 is still quite a bit better IMO.
As much as id love to see a reaction i highly recommend y'all go see dune 2 in the theater because it should be experienced on the big screen and its not an exaggeration to say its one of the greatest movies ever made
Kristen: if we could control the sandworms we could defeat them.
Boy she is gonna love dune 2
The second part is even more intense.
A faithful adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune.
42:28 it's so fresh
Every major component of this movie came from the book.
The book where are all these wonderful ideas came from was published in 1968. It's taking this long for cinema to catch up to it.
😂🤣 yo I really enjoy when it's the ladies reactions. It's always cool watching one person react with 1 who hadn't seen the movie
Denis Villeneuve fell in love with Dune (which was written almost sixty years ago) as a teenager, and has been planning this film for decades. Before this he made Arrival, Sicario, and Bladerunner 2049 - he's a genius. So is Hans Zimmer. So are all the leading cast.
I read it for the first time when I was in high school in the mid-70s, and have re-read it several times since; it's one of the best stories I've ever read. The author, Frank Herbert, was a genius, too. This was the first great epic of worldbuilding in science fiction.
In the books the Sardaukar are dressed as Harkonnen troops to hide the Emperor’s involvement. Duncan Idaho discovers they are Sardaukar by their skill and fighting style and they even kept the line from the books “When you cross swords with a Sardaukar you know.”
Great analysis guys. Really enjoyed watching you enjoy this amazing film. Look forward to coming back when you get to react to Part 2!
Kudos to Achara for not spoiling stuff for Kristen.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned or not but The Spice is not how they Fold Space, which is FTL or Faster Than Light speed. That is what's called the Holtzman Engine. What Spice does is it allows the Guild Navigators the ability to navigate a safe path to their destination. Without Spice they could still travel through space, but it's just much more dangerous. One out of every 10 flights would end in disaster.
As much as I enjoyed your guys' reactions, I would love for Kristen to see Dune 2 in the theaters. I know it'd deprive us of a reaction video, but I also don't want Kristen to miss seeing this in the theaters.
Here's a fun fact from the book. In the plans of the bene gesserit, Jessica's daughter was supposed to marry the heir of house harkonen...
Love what Denis has done with Dune. Part 2 is my favorite film of this year (2024. At this time). Really looking forward to Dune 3: Messiah. *but for those that read the novel. You're in for some rude awakenings.
Dune by Denis V. is really "Star Wars for mature adults".
Side note: We all know George Lucas "copied" Dune for [his] Star Wars.
copied is a nice way to say it
Duncan Idaho is the most heroic character in the series. He is the greatest swordsmen in the universe, and loyal to the Atreides to a fault.
Yoo Achara, I just saw you acting in a security awareness training video at work today!! Good job! It was definitely a step above the usual corporate training videos I'm used to seeing. Cool to see.
Haha! Happy to hear it. Had a blast shooting those videos 😊
There's no time for intros. Let's get
right into business
Love it
The Zoom onto Kristen's face at 1:43 was amazing 😂
Editor 👏 👏
Damn you guys gave the best in depth analysis maybe I ever heard at the end. Like you could do it professionally or somthing lol im impressed. I normally don’t listen after the movies over 😅
Great reaction - lovely to watch the two of you sink your teeth into this - I agree Rebecca Ferguson's found something here that no other actor could do, and they lean into that aspect in the sequel, so I hope she cultivates this - re Oscar Isaac, his casting was also a kind of shorthand - see Most Violent Year and that's their vision of Leto - Frank Herbert is dealing w deep structures and historical forces, and IMO the Harkonnen are where civilization is taking us, and the Fremen are a more incipient stage, brimming w potential - and the Bene Gesserit are breeding a Philosopher King per Plato
DUNE II
is A Must !!💯
these movies have set the bar for me
stay Awesome ⭐️
This film is definitely better on a rewatch. The sequel as well.
This book was mind baffling. What an amazing adaptation
I cannot WAIT till Part 2 comes out on Blu-ray/streaming and people start reacting to it!!!
This movie is so epic. And the music is Wow
Love that yall are really picking this up, actually learning the names and places and such; unlike a lot of reactors we've watched do this universe! As a fan, thank you! (and if you ever want another cool version to check out, look up the 2000 SciFi miniseries, and the sequel - Children of Dune. They are both really unique and cool for "made for tv" movies!) Edit: As a side.... Lady Jessica is a true Gem! Duke Leto was one seriously lucky man, but then again from the other side; she was pretty lucky too! LoL
After hearing good things about this film, I made sure to watch the original 1984 film before watching the 2021 version... And now after hearing good things from Part 2, (which i've yet to see); I recently bought the books and am currently reading until I make time to go watch Part 2 in the theaters...
Ladies, I LOVED your reaction. Getting a female point of view on this movie is so important, and yours was great. Thank you for sharing. I've subscribed, and I'm looking forward to your library of awesome. 😊
Watch part2 then read the book(or listen to the audiobook).....you'll fall deeper in love with the world.
I love your post movie discussion
can anyone tell me which song plays at 9:29 because Idk if I'm stupid but I'm not able to find that song on spotify
it's called gom jabbar - hans zimmer from the dune soundtrack
@@vyswrld9989thanks now I dont have to check each soundtrack for that lol
@@bphoenix2710 Editor here, It's actually my score from Jaby's recent short film LOVE PUNCH KILL, with thejadamusic's acapella cover of Gom Jabbar! 😁
10:30 That's not bagpipes, that's guitarist Guthrie Govan sounding like bagpipes.
👍✌️🤟🤘
A couple of non-spoilery things. This is supposed to be the future of humans here on Earth. At some point in our not so distant (comparitively) future, AI and humans wage a war. The humans won and it was decreed there would be no computers that can think like mankind. It's after this war that time started to be recounted. So this takes place 10191 years after that war. The Atreides actually claim they can trace their family origins to ancient Greece. The Harkonnens are supposedly descended from Vikings or Nordic peoples. The spitting as a sign of respect actually makes sense on Arakkis. It's a desert planet where water is extremely scarce. To give up your own water is a noble gesture. Great reaction ladies! I'm always down to watch new people react to this amazing film! Can't wait to watch reactions to part 2 now!
Great book, fantastic movie!!! 😊 Rebecca Ferguson is incredible! 💘💗🥰🥰
MUA'DIB!! 💪😎💪
Stillguard being so serious in part one. 🤣🤣🤣
37:24 why doesnt anyone understand the first time? i think the movie actually fails to explain better. These are not "visions", Paul has actual glimpses into possible realities or timelines, he can see what or would or will or has, happen and thats why he is The One, cause he can change the outcomes. He can break time and space, plus use the voice.
Kristen will absolutely LOVE the book.
The book created the illusion of a real place and the movie reinforces that illusion. Everything about this movie is epic.
Just Imagene watching this 2 years ago. We had to wait for 2 years.
Starting with Mission Impossible and now Dune 1 and 2…I am appreciating Rebecca Ferguson more and more…!
Denis Villenuve get the Rendezvous with Rama he’s amazing
Spice is for Computational calculation for space travel without use of computer, AI is banned in this universe.
I was a bookworm as a kid so anything based on a famous novel is a treat to me. A funny thing I've been noticing. The elite's online are all confused because Dune and David Lynch for that matter was a subject they tended to snob about. And they seemed to do with this first Chapter as well. Now with the second it make them uncool to snub Dune so they all seem to have just paused themselves. Weird stuff yeah. My first profile pic was artwork from the cover of a trade paperback and handle had Atreides in it so I get singled out by those dorks all the time and am pleased to get a break from it. Else I haven't seen the second yet. I have Max and opted to save it and have a party or something.
I'll say this: Dune part 1 is a masterpiece, as is part 2: a masterpiece😊😊😊
Even Dune couldnt distracted me from Kristin's mimics :P
Did you pick.up on all the references to Apocalypse Now?
Sadly have never seen Apocolypse Now so any references would have been missed by us
The Eye thing is when Mentats do calculations. They use the spice to train their brains becoming computer like.
Great music choice
1:00:00 - Not only That, but it is recorded that the apostle John was crucified upside down because he said he wasn’t “worthy” to be crucified the way Jesus was (rightside-up).
Achara! Show her the trailer for Dune part II and record her reaction... you know you have to do it :)
Everyone in the imperium take spice to expand your mind to get high or to live longevity has multiple things it's not just freman use it for other purposes
Spice is also extremely addictive, and spice withdrawal is deadly. So there is no detox/rehab, spice addiction is permanent. On Arrakis it's just naturally in the air and food, that given enough time any newcomers eyes will change, which is the tell tale sign of addiction. So non- locals and wealthy locals who live in the cities imported their food from off world. Having the "eyes of Ibad" is seen by civilized society as being uncivilized. Once Paul and Jessica gained the eyes of Ibad they gained that lifetime of addiction forever tying them to Arrakis. In the book Piter was a spice addict and the Harkonnens had planned to steal a crysknife, so Piter with it and his eyes could infiltrate Fremen sietches.
"He's such a baby", in the story he's only 15 years old
Semi-spoiler
Kristen, you'll see in Austin Butler's character how things go wrong if you don't raise children right. with love and a sense of duty, with honor and humility.
Part1 hits on another level after watching dune 2
You should watch The King. It’s another good Timothee Chalamet movie/ hidden gem
My only wish was that Happy Lil Dingdong got to see this in a full movie theater. But, maybe she can catch D2 on the big screen, maybe even IMAX? Unless they are going to save that, too, but denying her the chance to watch it on a big screen is criminal! Criminal! Anyway, hope she enjoys this (I'm still at the beginning).
The Barron is so corpulent that he must use a device that "floats" him around. One more detail that is not explained in the film. The book is so dense in information that it is virtually impossible to squeeze every explanation into film. Denis Villeneuve did a good, while imperfect, job at providing the exposition needed to move the film forward, but he had to leave a lot out to keep the run time acceptable. Definitely a film that is more enjoyable to the book readers, but still mainly comprehensible to those new to the world.
Cool note!!! When Jason was filming that hallway scene when he dies in a behind the scenes shot he’s says he watched the game of thrones finally and says this is in honor for you my Kalesie and a couple stage hands who hadn’t seen it yet yelled out Spoilers
