Need Part Two ASAP!
Oooooof
2023
Speaking of Star Wars do a reaction to Star Wars vision it’s a 9 episode series Disney did a a collaboration with different studios bru it’s amazing it basically like the what if trailers from marvel
Agreed part 2
Hell yes, knew you guys would do this!
If there is one thing to overly praise more about this movie is the fact that somehow, someway, Hans Zimmer made bagpipes sound like an essential piece of desert music.
i mean wind instruments, like flutes, are very common in dessert “cultures”
I mean it wasn't "desert" music, it was the music of the planet they came from, which does look like Scotland.
Not desert music; their theme song. They were just on a desert...
@@Horesmi bagpipes is common in in the middle east
@@Sam_Guevenne the pipe music is from caladan not the desert planet they brought it with them.
"The Star Wars we should've gotten."
So true it hurts.
This is the perfect example of what results from giving someone a project that they truly love and are passionate about (Denis + Dune), as opposed to giving a project to someone that doesn't care for and doesn't understand (Disney + Star Wars)
@@ykim0416 At least we still have jon favreau handling the mandalorian
They should react to Star Wars Visions, since its not actually made by disney. I'm surprised they haven reacted to it yet tbh
@@ykim0416 That's why the few amazing Star Wars Disney projects are the ones lead by passionate people like Jon Favreu and Dave Filloni. I believe Filloni to be the true sucessor to George Lucas.
Star wars but appropriation
I don't think she realizes that she basically predicted the next 5 novels with that single sentence at 22:24
Kinda but no, Paul could have walked the golden path if he wanted to
@@DuBstep115 Yep but he did not want to, and we ended up with a pre-born all-knowing all-powerful immortal Human-worm hybrid that simps over a girl he knows is designed to end him
Yes!
True Dat!
It was a 'Yes, but no.... but yes' moment
“He’s literally about to become a gangster, dude… and he doesn’t want it.” THAT is the entire tragedy of Dune that even some fans who have read the book don’t understand. Amazing that y’all were able to catch this vibe while watching the film, a combo of great filmmaking and an audience that’s invested and paying attention, much thanks 🙏🏻
Paul did not want it and was afraid of it, which is why Leto had to take the Golden Path instead of Paul.
@@onegemini420 god emperor leto, put some respect on his name, lol
Terrible purpose.
Paul was a pussy but it was worth it since we got the megabased God Emperor
So Eren Yaeger is Paul Atreides
She's right, Paul's visions are basically a "decision based game." Paul can navigate between different possible futures by the choices he makes.
Yeh I think spice is meant to be more of a metaphorical look into the future. It shows ur subconscious the actions u sld take to get ur desired future. Basically ultimate foresight rather than you can literally see the future
@@sj-bg4up I've only read the first book in the Dune universe (ie. "Dune"), but that's basically how it works. For example, in the book, the main conflict isn't really whether Paul wins against the Harkonnen or not, because the book is written with these historical footnotes that basically makes it clear that he wins. The main conflict is Paul's attempts to avoid his victory on Arrakis to spiraling into "the Jihad", a galaxy-spanning holy war that will have billions murdered in his name. He is trying to find a way to avoid that and other undesireable futures, and it's psychologically maddening.
@@nakenmil yeh I haven’t read the book but I got that from the movie cos spice is portrayed like any drug. It gives u clarity to see where ur actions will lead you but it’s up to you whether you have the will to take those actions
@@sj-bg4up the spice does give you prescient sight, where Paul differs is that he is 1. part of the genetic breading program the BG'S been doing for thousands of years. 2. trained as a Mentat by Thufir (the guy with the umbrella) so he can calculate faster than a super computer. 3. and he is trained as a fremen and the harsh conditions of Arrakis awakens his prescience stronger that what was thought possible.
@@aoescool yeh so this whole talk about the quizzach hederach is that just bullshit cos that sounds like magic and dune seems too sciency and philosophical for that
Bro, ya girl was so spot-on with her predictions and details I cracked up multiple times. She’s sharp as fuck.
She really catches everything it's crazy
Yes she was, but you all got this movie which is great to see. I normally hate it when the reactors start chatting through the movie and miss like EVERYTHING but you guys did not let us down, thank you.
Dude she literally predicted Leto II perfectly
Because she has Sheragan
@@davidyodo24 i see what you did there
The desert mouse was such an important scene actually. Paul names himself after it later; Muad'Dib. The director is a genuis.
Kinda wish they had that part at the end of this movie, tbh.
@@radicaladz Honestly yeah, right before the "this is only the beginning".
@@radicaladz I'm sure they'll say it in the next one
It's an animal in the books as well iirc. it's name means something like 'Little Teacher' or some such. Essentially it's an allegory to the Fremen to their own situation as desertpeople.
I wannnnnaaaaa read the boook after I saw the movieeeee. It was a great world building and the movie want me to know moreeeee. I never felt such a tease 😭😭😭 How long is the book?
You joke about people from the 1930s, but the man who wrote this masterpiece of a novel, Frank Herbert, was born in 1920. He started writing Dune in 1959, so think about THAT for a moment. All of this was imagined by a man who had never seen any of our fancy technology. He was a true visionary.
The fact that he thought of AI rebelling(Butlerian Jihad) when AI as a concept was pretty novel when he wrote the books is pretty insane.
@@TehIdiotOneRobots weren’t anything new at that time as a fictional concept tho. Movies like Metropolis were made in the 20’s.
The idea of a robot uprising being just lore background is so cool though, makes it seem like a reference to a story trope even though the AI uprising became a trope after this with stuff like Terminator.
There's one thing I really love about the scene between the Duke and the Baron. In a room full of the Baron's men, he has the Duke naked and immobile in front of him and he's still scared enough to activate his shield before getting any closer to him.
Laying under the head of the bull that killed his grandfather
The Baron was a paranoid man if he wasn't he would not have live long enough to come to power or survived 80 years as the head of House Harkonnen
@@MeanLaQueefa Harkonen means bull in finish.
@@SinisterRaven no it doesn't. Härkä does. Harkonen would be a good Finnish surname however, the two n's in Harkonnen makes it unusual but still somewhat valid for a Finnish surname. I doubt there's such a name in finland, though.
In dune, full scale wars are forbidden in the empire. But, war of assassins are allowed. The Baron like any noble is paranoid. Look at how the atreides guards protect the duke, or any family member. Its a natural precaution, probably not paranoia just doing because they have always done that.
For not being familiar with the world of Dune, you guys were picking up a lot, this kinda proves that Denis did a good job of making the story accessible to audiences. One plot point was hit right on and I’m not going to spoil it. Btw, I would love to see your reactions to what Spice actually is.
Completely agree. As a long time fan, its so awesome to see new people getting into it. But it says a hell of a lot about the director that people with no idea what they are getting into could pick up on such important and perhaps subtle clues of what is to come.
@@ItsMeBarnaby Our guys are very observative and like thought provoking stories , so that also helps . I think this adaption successes with audience who had read the book and for those who are open minded / willing to invest themselves into a new story for them IF its presented in a beautiful matter in order to keep your focus on the screen.
I’m a brand new fan and all it took is for me to pay attention because Denis explains pretty much everything you need to know through the visuals and the natural feeling dialogue. If people didn’t understand these key points then I really don’t think they were paying all that much attention cause it’s right there very clear
@@lanagievski1540
Watching the cinema sins of the original dune and watching the first half of that movie, I had no idea wtf was happening. Not having most of the information needed be word vomited, really helped this dune.
"One plot point was hit right on" If you are referring to what I think you are, then they are the only blind reactors I've seen so far to pick up on/theorise about it.
10:14 I love how you can tell if someone is watching dune with a good sound setup or not
24:29 This woman is books ahead of everyone holy shit
Your son is such a worm... 😆🤪🤐
How can she know these secrets. Its uncanny Sheeragan shall never be doubted again
She’s a Bene Gesserit
Yea, I'm starting to think Sheera might actually be psychic
sheera’s cultured as fuck she could pick up a whole new show and reach into plot points from the manga from episode 3
In the book, Yueh’s betrayal makes wayyyyy more sense. He already knows his wife is dead, so his plot for revenge isn’t necessarily to join her but to straight up kill the Baron at all costs. He never trusted the Baron in the book, the contrary to what the movie suggests. He also dies telling the Baron something like “you think you have won, you do not know” in reference to Leto’s tooth thing but also because he made sure House Atreides would live on through Paul by helping them escape
but him saying it in the book also is the thing that triggers the Baron just in time to survive the assassination with the gas because he is such a cautious man hearing that immediately made his alarm clocks ring.
@@6666Imperator true, but I think there’s more weight to yueh’s attempt if it’s established that his end goal is to kill him. the book makes him a sympathetic traitor, which I think is a great touch to add some depth to the story
I do wish they had kept that "You think you won?" line in the movie. It would have made Yueh a lot more likeable.
Yueh's revenge attempt is also a perfect example of the Gom Jabbar earlier in the movie; Yueh knows he's doomed, and knows the Duke is doomed. But if he plays along long enough, neither showing or removing his hand from the trap, he can strike at the Baron, in an attempt to save Jessica and Paul. He won't be able to free himself from the trap, but he can at least kill the trapper.
Leto's death and Yueh's betrayal made me give up on the book for a bit, i loved Leto and it was such a terrible way to go out, and Yueh's plan was so unreliable, he should have just gone to the duke for help, warned him and chosen to stay loyal.
I've watched so many Dune reactions because I'm obsessed, and you three are by the smartest, sensitive-to-story watchers I've seen watch Dune. You all three picked up SO many things other people missed.
Ikr these guys got my subscription
even the muad'dib moment with the mouse!! This is a beautiful time to be a Dune fan :D
So true. I am in awe to their insight.
I constantly thought these guys MUST have read the book, but if not then hats off
100% same thought, mad respect for the level of story comprehension. You caught pretty much everything and started spinning accurate theories practically from the jump.
I saw Dune in IMAX and when they used The Voice it literally shakes your body, it was awesome lol
i watched it on imax on shrooms, the whole build up to him using the voice was so intense it was amazing
I saw it on 4DX and holy shit it still had that effect, it was amazing. You can even feel the impact on your back when the Duke was hit with the dart and it gave me quite the jolt. Watching this movie in 4DX for the first time was freaking phenomenal
I have atmos in my house dont need to go to the theater to feel that lol
@@ShantalhaitianPrincess true, but there's still the big screen, unless u have a home theater it's pretty hard to beat that
@@aangmaster9392 but it's alot better on IMAX... not just loud sound designs and music but the ratio changes whenever a scene is about to be epic...
One of the scariest things about this movie to me is that that sand liquefaction effect is REAL. If you vibrate sand at the right frequency, it becomes fluid and you can "swim" (or sink) in it. I have seen that harvester attack scene half a dozen times now and every time it gives me terror chills.
Also, in defense of Dr. Yueh, in the book his reasoning is that if he's not the one to betray Leto, someone else would be, and then Yueh wouldn't be able to guarantee Paul and Jessica's safety.
Yueh! A million deaths were not enough for Yueh!
Yeah, you can find a perfect example on RUclips, Mark Rober did a video on sand liquefaction and actually shows how it works
@@calz1 Yep, that was literally the first thing that came to my mind watching the movie.
Im a year late but ever heard of the great mud flood?
@@toweek No worries. I have not! I tried Googling it but got a lot of random stuff. What happened?
Sheera was predicting plot points accurately so much you woulda thought she's the actual Kwisatz Hadirach
"This dude's literally Jaba... ...Ahhh, I see...." LMAO!!!
".........He iS tHe jaBBa........."
Ha!
@@theawesomeman9821 Massive Book 3 Spoiler... I will stop myself there.
Denis Villeneuve said that the baron is an instigation of the crazy general in the movie apocalypse now...his favorite movie!
Except when you try to kill this guy, *he doesn't stay down*
The shields deflect anything that moves faster than a predetermined velocity. This makes the use of firearms essentially useless and resulted in hand to hand combat becoming the most effective way to fight. Lasers are also dangerous to use against shields because the collision results in a nuclear explosion.
I whish they had mentioned the lack of lasers in the movie, I had to explain that to a lot of my friends
That's so dumb though lol if you had a suicide bomber...your army wins every time. Send in a soldier, he shoots himself with a laser.
@@dalrishardin9993 what I forgot to mention is that the point of detonation can occur randomly at any point between the weapon firing the laser and the shield. It’s far too unpredictable to be used reliably as an offensive measure. Yes, you could suicide bomb with it but any other situation outside of that is far too risky. It also depends on if you’re attempting to preserve the surrounding structures, which was the case with the Harkonnen ambush against House Atreides at Arakeen. Shelter against the harsh environment of Arakis is a necessity that can’t be compromised.
Nuclear explosion? The laser cut through the shield
@@TheTruth-13 It didn’t. That’s information directly from the novel and Denis Villeneuve wouldn’t have fucked up that detail when he’s read Dune over a dozen times. Whatever you thought you saw happen, you’re mistaken.
@13:15, the Bene Gesserit are raised with total obedience to the Sisterhoos in mind.
They are not given true love or affection. Leto chose Jessica to be his concubine and fell in love with her. Bene Gesserit women are highly valued as the wives of noblemen. However, because Leto was such an honorable and loving dude, Jessica fell in love with him too.
Her having a son for Leto was her greatest gift and a betrayal to the sisterhood.
Dune, the novel, inspired EVERYTHING. From Star Wars to Warhammer 40K. Denis did the unthinkable by adapting it and turning into a modern cult piece.
I have to confess I think all three Dune adaptations have been really good in different ways. But I think this one is the best.
It didn’t entirely inspire Star Wars, he also took story and characters from different Akira Kurosawa movies as well.
@@user-bn1nh8bv5f it ABSOLUTELY inspired star wars
@@asherc2809 I didn’t say it didn’t inspire Star Wars, I was just just saying it certainly wasn’t the only thing, and didn’t inspire everything in it.
@@user-bn1nh8bv5f MrDoo didn't say that Dune inspired everything in Star Wars. They said that Dune has a footprint in every sci-fi franchise we know today.
It didn't just inspire star wars, it inspired most of modern Sci Fi. Just like LOTR was for fantasy, Dune was the granddaddy that everyone takes a little piece of.
Woahhh I didn’t know that
People really need to stop parroting this. H.G Wells, and Isaac Asimov are arguably considerably more influential to the sci-fi genre as a whole and they both pre-date Herbert. Not that Herbert hasn't inspired many works but to say he's the grandfather is just flat out not true
@@tonyharrison2112 Mehh, you're getting too far out in the weeds. I would consider them, much like Moorcock is for fantasy, very foundational but too far removed from later work to be called a direct influence. Yes they help lay the groundwork for the genre but Dune layed down certain roots that are still referenced and ripped off to this day.
@@ayanleman You can make literally the exact same argument for H.G Wells and Asimov. As well as a handful of others. They not only laid the foundations but cemented roots throughout all future science fiction works. Frank is very much inspirational to the genre as a whole but he isn't the grandfather that's a quite silly claim to make.
@@tonyharrison2112 Y'know, i dont think I can make the argument for wells and Asimov. Its too far removed, too vague and nebulous compared to the strong and direct influence of Dune.
Like i said, its like Morris vs. Tolkien (I know thats not the perfect analogy but bear with me). Morris' work like "The well at world's end" was influential to Tolkien and Lewis, sure, and an argument could be made that it should get credit as the grandaddy of modern fantasy, but thats not the case. LOTR, like dune, marks a major turning point for the modern incarnation of the genre. Asimov's work was absolutely influential, but it wasnt the entire-genre-defining moment Dune was. To an extent i feel thats because Dune, despite how fleshed out it is, is still more palatable 'soft sci-fi' and thus an order of magnitude more accessible than a lot of its influences
paul has to die for the kwisatz haidirach to awaken but remember, “when you kill someone, you kill yourself.” technically, the old paul did die.
also, yes his visions can be changed by people changing their minds. if jamis hadn’t chosen to challenge him, they would’ve become friends.
Yeah that was my interpretation as well. The other visions were possible futures that could have maybe happened if Paul did something differently or different choices were made resulting in Jamis and Paul becoming friends or Jamis killing Paul during the duel.
But that's just a plot explanation. I think they were also thematically important as well. Paul in a vision sees Jamis as a mentor, and in his death, Jamis leads Paul to being accepted by the Fremen. And there was your explanation of the Paul-death vision "when you kill someone, you kill yourself," which lead to some kind of transformation within Paul
@@strangething7379 yep jamis would be teaching paul the way of the desert in both scenarios. also interesting to note that even though they never had a conversation, paul still gained information from the vision just by seeing that particular path. love details like that. the kwisatz haderach has awakened.
Man, I thought that was Jamis' purpose of being a friend. Like, he wants Paul to kill him so that he could learn how to survive.
@@marxvargas7697 absolutely not lol he isn’t suicidal
Damn what a shame. So this Paul is different than the vision Paul then. The fact that Jamis will become Paul teacher/mentor sound pretty dope to me. I wonder if theres any time traveling shit in Dune, maybe Paul could do different things when meeting Jamis so they could become friends?
"Crip walking across the Desert" LMAO!
As a long time fan of the book it was awesome seeing you guys pick up on so much stuff.
This reaction proves that you don't have to be an old school Dunatic to totally get the essence of Dune from this film. It leaves out tons of exposition about the lore, the institutions, etc., but it gets across everything you need through brilliant cinematic storytelling. I predict that in the near future, many lessons in the principle of 'Show, Don't Tell' will focus on Villeneuve's adaptation of Dune. You all picked up so much on your first viewing, without any real Dune primer, it's a testament to how smart Denis's approach to the material was. He gives the viewer everything they need to follow where the story is going, while preserving the sense of wonder and mystery. Cannot wait for Part Two.
I really hope they spend more time on the Bene Gesserit in part 2, without a doubt my favorite part of the Dune universe. We got a little taste in this one with the voice of command and the box of pain, but those ladies are truly terrifying and there is a solid reason no house messes with them. Star wars force users would be embarrassed by them
The only things I wish the movie explained more was the law against thinking machines, which is why the Spacing Guild is so important and powerful and why Spice is so valuable. Other than that I thought it did a great job on exposition.
And, as always, Sheera knows what's going on. Paul's prescience is more that he can see all possible futures simultaneously. His actions then shape the future visions.
sheera literally has the all seeing eyes
Yep. He sees a landscape of possible futures and parts of the landscape are hidden.
When she said "Oh so paul and chani's kid is the important one" halfway through I had to pause and leave the room.
@@tashikat9040 Me too.
Paul's whole life is a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Until he chooses poorly, and there's no going back.
I feel bad for Lady Jessica. Paul's resentful to her because he thinks she's using him for the prophecy. The Reverend Mother hates her for the same reason, added onto the fact that she broke their code. But the truth is, and this isn't explicitly stated in the film, she wanted to give The Duke a son because she knew he wanted one. It was an act of love.
illgotten Love is a treacherous seamstress, unless it done in Love, then it's alright. Love makes the masks that is worn so much thinner.
Acts of love can be very cruel, this is a prime example
Even some 5,000 years later in Chapterhouse: DUNE a BG Sister allowing herself to fall in love is still known as the "Jessica Crime"!
I think what is meant in the book about Jessica's motivation is just like this:
Jess loved Leto deeply and she knew that how important having a male heir for a duke in that semi-feudal society and its political atmosphere. So, she gave birth Paul as a gift for Leto. However, before conceiving a son, she felt that she had to place her action in BG plans, which can make her decision more "reasonable". So, she thought, "Hmm. I love my Leto. What a beautiful thing the genuine love is! For the first time in my life I feel free and like a real human. So, he has no male heir right now and I think I can do a favor for my beloved. But BG's orders and plans? Ahh, maybe my future boy will be Kwisatz Haderach. A generation earlier, but that phrase itself means 'Shortening of the Way' after all!"
But she also loved her son very much and just wanted to teach him The Way which was considered by BG as the best education system for mind and body. And Paul genetically had such a huge power which could only be tainted and regulated by a very special training.
But she had no arrogant plans about Paul. She did not revolt against BG with a strategic plan either.
Although her only motivation was not just love, it was the biggest one.
So,
%75 love,
%25 maybe my boy will become The One
However, I do not mean that Jessica was right in every way. She had too much mistakes as well. Especially when it came to Alia she screwed up dramatically. :(
She was not an evil person either. Being born within BG order was not her own choice. She did not initiate 10.000 years old Kwisatz Haderach program after all.
The real shame was not her love, but heartlessness and pride of BG Order. They escaped from being animals, but could not prevent themselves from being organic machines. It was very tragic and ironic because BG had always hated thinking machines. But in the end, with their pride they became what they wanted not to be. Their order was amazing but they had disgusting and awful mistakes. They could have easily been both controlled, steadfast, mega-powerful and emotionally very humane at the same time. But they forgot this until Darwi Odrade. She was descendant of Jessica and Leto. She was the only TRUE Bene Gesserit.
In the movie, the motivation stemmed from love is not destroyed. Just "maybe my boy will become The One" is emphasized more sharply. But the director also emphasizes the fact that having a son made Leto very happy.
"Jessica, you gave me a son. From the moment he was born I never questioned you, trusted you completely even when you walked in the shadows."
@@hypatia137 It also falls into the trope of feminine love for her child is beyond anything fathomable, it just is guided by so much Love, that selfdeceit can often be the product.
One thing they don't really touch on in the movie is why him being a male is significant. Basically the Bene Gesserit have the ability to access the memories of their past ancestors. However, because women have XX chromosomes they aren't able to access the male half of their genetic memory without going insane. A male who unlocks their ability would theoretically be able to access both sides as they have XY chromosomes, and the organization's entire purpose has basically become to create this "chosen one" via eugenics.
My question is the mother said they were only meant to bear girls so could Jessica decide if she wants a boy or girl?
@@tmac731 Yep! Bene Gesserit can control their bodies to the degree that they can for example nullify a poison after ingesting it. One of the many things they can do is force a child to be born a certain sex.
@tmac731 more so that they can tell whether it will be a boy or girl before birth, and are supposed to...erm...terminate accordingly if it is to be male. It's rough :/
@@KrazzeeKane oh shit
@@tmac731 iirc the Bene Gesserit are able to control their own bodies to the extent that they can neutralize poisons and control how the child ends up from conception, so yes she can decide.
The girl in this video pretty much called the entire story of Dune. That's seriously very impressive, given how little of the story has actually been told so far.

@@eirzaa0429eren is very heavily inspired
@@eirzaa0429 Eren is a pacifist compared to Paul, and a downright saint compared to Paul's future son. Read the books, it's a wild ride.
This reaction was equally brilliant and hilarious. “Mom you did do the swipe thing, right? With the foot?” 😂
The Kris knife is the inspiration for the lightsaber. They are worth a fortune in that universe and can pierce almost anything. You never need to sharpen or maintain it, the blood you feed it makes it stronger and your own electric field made by your nervous system keeps it sharp. However, you MUST keep it on your person or it will slowly start to disintegrate and within a week it will be dust.
That is a quote directly from the book... and also pertains to why Paul needs the Fremen.
Damn that's AMAZING
“May thy knife chip and shatter!”
@@allthingsnerd.4484 and it's on the trailer!
I just realised when the Reverent Mother used the voice on Paul, he didn't actually get pulled to her quickly, the editing was showing him sink into darkness like a loss of consciousness, and the next time he regained it was when he kneeled at her feet. It's like how Jessica blanked out for a moment when Paul used it on her before she snapped out of it and gave him the water.
That was a masterclass of showing not telling with that one scene. This is one of the reasons people are drawn to Villenueve and even Christopher Nolan could learn from this as in all of his movies especially where his brother is not involved in the script Nolan inserts too much exposition.
@@treytilley333 Finally someone realised that his brother makes his films better! I'm excited for Fallout because of this, its a reason why it's film and not and audio piece. I wanna be shown not told.
Just came here after seeing part 2 and I gotta say I can't wait to see your guys reaction to it
Of the 50+ video reactions to Dune, yours is bar none the most insightful take on the movie.. which is extremely impressive given that y'all have not read the novels. I am especially impressed that your lady friend picked up on perhaps THE key message in Paul's ability to "see" the future. His visions are only possibilities, which may or may not be actualized based on Paul's decisions and actions. You guys should be in the honors program of Dune curriculum ))
Oh, and the gangsta reference about Paul's reluctance to be "The One" is genius. Let's all hope the second part do justice to all y'all's interpretation.
Sheera must secretly be Kwisatz Haderach because her future sight is literally insane 22:23
Yep
The Sheeragan is too powerful
Reaching Muad'ib levels
She sees too much!
She even saw The Tyrant, OMG

It's kinda frightening how far ahead she is looking.

This is so true. I watched some reactions and most of the reactors were so confused yet spent half the time talking so I was not expecting much from this reaction and very hesitant. Yet I am 100% impressed. They caught ALL the important points and very insightful discussion afterwards!!
Guy in the middle was consistently 100% on the plot. Rare to see that for a 1st time movie watcher.
If you recall in the vision, he told Paul he'd show him the way of the desert. And he did. Afterward, Paul was accepted by the Fremen, and he "knows their ways". I love this film and your reaction!
Didn’t expect a reaction for this if I’m being totally honest
Same here
finding this in my suggestion list caught me blindsided
This movie gets top ratings on sites etc. It's big in the cinemas. Imo, pretty expected.
Me either I'm glad they did it!
This has been the best reaction I have seen for Dune and I've seen a LOT of them. These guys took me back in time and gave me hope for the future, seriously. DV is a fucking genius.
I think the dream with Zendaya’s character killing Paul is referring to how the old him dies when he kills the guy who challenged him. She’s the one who handed him the blade he foresaw, the same blade he used to kill the guy and therefore himself. So she killed him.
Yes. Symbolic death. It's like when Meister Aemon told Jon Snow "Kill the boy so the man can rise".
Paul’s visions or prescience show him possible futures not necessarily how events will play out. Yes, he killed the old Paul and became Muadid when he stabbed Jamis. In his vision, when Jamis was his teacher on how to survive the desert. That was true, but not how he envisioned it.
@@abstractnonsense3253 That whole thing is not Canon. Everything from season 5 onwards is butchered non canonical nonsense.
@@MeanLaQueefa Or more like it was a potential future that never happened cuz of changing circumstances... I always felt Jamis was angry from getting disarmed and taken down by Paul.... so if that had never happened, perhaps if Jessica'd died prior to finding the Fremen, maybe that'd have changed things. Same with Duncan still being alive and part of the Fremen, etc.
@@kinagrill I agree
In the books (and in the movie) the worms send out a vibration that makes the sand liquify and they literally swim through it. They appear to be moving at least 30-50 mph while submerged. You CANNOT outrun that on foot on sand! hehe Glad you guys enjoyed this quality shizz.
just re-watched still one of the best reactions to dune pt. 1, can't wait to see you guys react to part 2 when its available
The young lady is spot on - the visions Paul see are different outcomes when Paul makes a choice. The vision of Jamis (the guy that Paul fought) was one future where he and Jamis became close friends. But Paul disarmed him thus humiliating him so Jamis called him out to fight the duel. You guys intuitions about the movie is excellent.
did paul see visions of jamis and him being friends in the book? i cant recall
@@x-wing8785 thank you
No. That's totally not what it was about. There was no choice. See my comments on the main thread. The vision was an abstract a metaphor. Jamis would teach Paul the way of the desert by forcing him to become the Kwisatz Haderac through the duel. That's why Paul kept seeing his own death. The voice in his head said, Paul Atreides must die. When you take a life you take your own. Meaning, when you kill Jamis you then can control your own destiny. The boy that is Paul would die and the Kwisatz Haderac would raise. Paul's innocence would die. Which is what happened. Paul then took control and made the decision to join the Freman.
The young lady was also spot on in something else: Paul may be the One, but Paul’s son is gonna be *the One*
@@michaels.maguina6526 For thousands and thousands of years yeah.
The editing is so ON POINT LMFAOOO the sound bites and "arizona" showing up over the city had me rolling man. Y'all are the best
Bro I noticed the Arizona too. Laughed a lil too hard thetr
I like how everyone has fancy ass arabic names and then there's Paul.
Carole Baskin put the hit on Pop Smoke LMAO
I'm watching on my laptop and the Windows logoff wav when the copter is disabled...💀🤣 I actually paused and looked at my sys.tray thinking it was me before I realized it wasn't! Epic!
lol one of my fav Canadian react channels were like "Edmonton" over the city, which can confirm in the winter Edmonton is a concrete wasteland
The best reaction I've ever seen on RUclips. Your comments were funny, insightful and clever. You three understood the movie because you engaged with it, you were invested in it. But you were also entertaining, without being obnoxious like some other reactors.
10:16 was such a perfect reaction to when Gaius Helen Mohiam did the voice on Paul and the looks on their faces when they hear that bass was priceless LOL.
10:14 , lmao right! I want to know their home theater sound setup cause I jumped like that in an IMAX theater.
She's an intuitive one. The remark on their offspring being important is on the nose.
I was like "SHE KNOWS ABOUT THE CHILD"!!
@@Zhicano But does the "prescient one" know WHICH child???
@@PeloquinDavid actually yeah, not only did she predict it would be their child, but also the powers to some extent. quite amazing lol
Sheera displays glimpses of prescience. She would make a good Sayaddina.
You three are the smartest reactors I've seen yet. You picked up on so much stuff. Probably fifteen reactors I've watched and none of them but you three figured out how his visions work, where it's multiple possible futures, some of them much worse than others.
i see the views on this constantly go up since part 2 released so i wanna say im like 100% sure they're going to react to part 2 too if anyones wondering
I've seen a few Dune reactions now, and you guys are the ones that picked up on the most stuff, by far! It makes me really happy to see that the movie manages to convey subtle messages even to those who are unfamiliar with the source material, if they are willing to actually pay attention. Props to Denis Villeneuve on that!
Only the betrayal thing wasn't done justice. The rest of the movie was very impressive especially in Imax. For a 2 hr 30 minute movie it was fluid and not a bore.
@@nostalgicbliss5547 Yea that was the only major gripe i had about it. But at least Denis filmed Yueh scenes. The runtime was super tight; if it was a little longer, they could've had a scene or two with Yueh.
Villeneuve is the best director currently. Chris Nolan in 2nd place. imo
One thing I noticed about the visions after seeing the movie a few times. The vibrant, clear, true-color visions are the path that is unchangeable and will come to be. The hazy, orange-tinged visions are more metaphorical. They are not visions of what is to become, rather they and provide Paul with guidance and wisdom. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems to make sense.
That is fantastic.
Good catch
From a long time book reader, you guys really nailed a lot of the more ambiguous concepts of Dune. Really enjoyed watching your reactions and hearing your thoughts.
here after watching part 2. cant wait for the teams reaction. lisan al gaib, it is written
9:10 this aint even reavealed until part 2 and he already figured it out!!
Y'all, Sheera totally just called a major twist in the book/next few books that isn't even revealed in part one. Well done.
I can’t do this bro literally how is she this good
She literally gots see the future idk how else she does it lol
36:48 I like how Paul's Voice even made the Dune watermark gtfo, mad props to the editor for that one.
so I dunno if it's ever explained in the movie, but the Voice is supposed to be a way of hitting the exact right pitch/tone that someone will obey on instinct, without conscious thought. I always thought that explanation was pretty neat
And one thing that the movie left out, that really should've been kept in, is Paul and the Fremen's reaction to Jamis's death. Paul weeps over it, because it's his first kill, and the Fremen are astonished by him "shedding moisture for the dead" because they just don't do that. Water is too precious for them to waste.
I'm over here feening for their Dune Part 2 reaction. They might just watch it in theaters, I can't blame em.
LMAO 15:30 "can you imagine going outside and just trying to eat a sandwich? your shit is clapped bro, sand sandwich" such good content
A bit of important background:
The Dune universe is set in our Humanity's incredibly distant future, in the aftermath of a massive galactic war against Artificial Intelligence that nearly destroyed the species called 'The Butlerian Jihad'. In the aftermath of this, all AI and any computer powerful enough to produce AI was strictly forbidden, requiring specialized human beings to take the place of these computers. Most crucial was the Spacing Guild, whose Navigators use extremely high doses of spice to replace navigation computers and plot complex faster-than-light jumps. While FTL travel is technically possible without a Navigator, it's more than likely to result in destruction or being irreconcilably lost.
Theres a confusion between original Dune lore by Frank Herbert and Brian Herbert+Kevin Andersons lore. In the original, it wasn't a war against AI. It was a religious/philosophical conflict over dependence on not only AI, but thinking machines in general. Based on the notion that the humanities mental faculties degenerate and gives those who control the machines enormous power. Brian and Kevin retconned a lot of the original Dune lore, even if that went against the philosophical backdrop of Frank Herberts universe, because they really cared primarily for the cash in. If you compare the books Frank wrote with those that his son Brian and Kevin Anderson cowrote, you'll see the cleft between them. Philosophy gone, depth gone, people are one dimensional caricatures and much more. Sadly, Brian Herbert owns the rights and can declare things canon.
@@tomitiustritus6672 oh trust me, I sampled precisely one of Brian's books (I believe it was called 'Paul Atreidis'?) and was rather horrified by the plummet in quality. I have absolutely no idea what their take on the Butlerian Jihad was, but my understanding of it derived from the original novels was indeed an uprising of artificial intelligence so severe and destructive as to make a severe and lasting taboo of computers in general. The nature of that uprising from Dune to Chapterhouse is indeed left entirely vague however given it's such ancient history, so one could say the exact nature of it was left to the imagination. I always envisioned- given the intensity of the taboo- a full on attempt of AI to supplant and dominate humanity so brutal and enduring as to leave folks terrified of computers for millenia.
@@tomitiustritus6672 Thanks for clearing that up. I read all the Frank Herbert Dune books and none Brian & Co. I saw some comentaries about the Butlerian Jihad being a war between AI and Humanity and got confused, because that is not how it is mentionend in the books I know.
@@pietervanderveld3096 the references to it in the books are supremely vague, the Butlerian Jihad taking place many millenia before Paul is born presumably. All that's really openly stated about it is that the war over computers/AI was so devastating that all of humanity (save the IXians, who delicately dabbled in computers and the Jewish people, who apparently maintained a level of independence from the Spacing Guild and all other organizations including the Bene Geserit) united and agreed upon the total abandonment of computer technology. Such a conflict- to my mind at least- would have to be a substantial one, and not just based upon purely ideological differences about computer dependence. Still and again, it's left very much to the reader's imagination, given the vast majority of Frank Herbert's writing isn't narrative or inundated in exposition, instead occupying the minds of its characters temporarily from chapter to chapter, giving you a temporary window into their unique perspective.
you guys have understood the plot quicker and with more depth than any other react channel. such a treat to see people take their first steps on Arrakis
A good story inspires speculation, debate and a great conversation. Y’all really had a good time with this.
Also for the visions, it’s speculated that if Paul’s mom wasn’t with him, Jamis would have been his friend and that vision would’ve come true
Damn thats crazy
The vision was of Jamil trying to show Paul the ways of the desert, and it was fulfilled when Jamil forced Paul to surrender his moral objection to killing.
its not so much whether she was with him or not, but because Paul embarrassed him by getting past him, which sparked initial resentment during their first meeting. However the only reason Paul decided to go in his direction to get past rather than anyone else, was because he had seen visions of him as a friend and thought that given that he would be the best/safest choice.
Instead because of that he completely altered the course, but not the function, of their relationship, where he would teach Paul the ways of the desert, through his death rather than his life.
The Sheeragan is off the charts in this one. Wildest prediction I've ever seen!
Paul makes his first kill with a bullfighting manoeuvre, a callack to the courage of his grandfather, who he wasnt sure he'd be able to emulate. Little detail that is rarely picked up on 😊
This is my favorite reaction to this movie. It's amazing how you guys we're able pick up so much of the story, but also appreciate the absolute perfection of the visuals of this movie. All of that while cracking some really funny jokes here and there. You're appreciation looks so genuine it's really nice to see people invested in the story. I am absolutely thrilled that we all probably witnessed the birth of a legendary Trilogy.
A friend of mine said that this movie was like if the Original Star Wars trilogy and the Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy had a baby. The scope and lore of Star Wars but the maturity, the darker tone and the pratical more realistic aesthetic of the Dark Knight's
19:03 That moment of realization where you ignored Dune, but loved Star Wars all your life and then saw this movie...
I recall the old woman asking him if he often dream things that happen just as he dreamed them. His response was not exactly. I kind of like how that plays into the different amount of possibilities to keep an audience engaged.
it's because paul prescience isn't all the way together
The primary influence for the fighting style you see in the movie is Kali/Arnis/Escrima, a Filipino fighting style that integrates sticks, blades, and hands into a complete system. Its a legit combat system with 100s of years of real life experience.
I watched the film with my dad over the weekend, first time for him and second for me, and I this time I noticed the brilliance of the stairs fight in the assault on the city. The Atreides soldiers just wreak the Harkonnen soldiers with no trouble, then the Sardukar wreak the Atreides soldiers just as easily. This was a perfect way to showcase how good the Sardukar are to highlight how much better the Fremen are when they wreak the Sardukar later.
I was not expecting this, It's gonna be so good!!
It was lol
it has been SO LONG since i ever got immersed into a movie...its just all recycled content....this is one of the rare movies that made me focus on the movie, no phone distraction, no multitask on my ps5, i was watching the movie 100%
I would love to watch part 2 with these guys....the second time obviously, I'd throw my popcorn at anyone who speaks the first time through
Paul's combat style at the >start< of the story is already :"best in known universe" level, though untested - combat blade studies with Duncan Idaho and Gurney Halleck, full Atriedes military training, and Bene Gesserit Weirding fighting style with his mom, plus Thufir Hawat has been teaching him the Mentat ways on the side. Paul is DANGEROUS before he ever meets the Fremen!
In the novel Paul’s mom loved her son. But she also knew he had been trained to be a killing machine.
I LOVE your reaction to this. As a long time fan of Dune, I love the movie myself. But I also am very invested in how new people are drawn to this modern interpretation. Not only it is heartwarming to see how much you enjoyed this, its also really awesome how the director provided key elements that you as complete newcomers would think and ask some of the best kinds of questions about the material.
I'll try not the spoil anything, but your take on his visions, his role as a "hero", and so many other tropes was phenomenal. It speaks to you own perspective, the director, and to Frank Herbert (the author). Fucking Awesome.
This is the first time book readers and non book readers are on the same side
In a way, Jamis did teach Paul something about the ways of the Fremen through their duel. Sheera was right when she said that Paul saw a different path/future.
Love your guys' reactions, and this one really showed me two things. That you guys were able to pick up on the series of events is a testament to your ability to pay attention to the movie, and definintely a testament to how well Villaneuve adapted the book. He had to take out quite a bit, but that he and his writers managed to convey the spirit and overall plot so efficiently is incredible to me. Such that even people who haven't read the book are following along and even getting into the deeper subtexts of things. That's the mark of a great adaptation man, and is really cool to see people getting into Dune because of it.
foreshadowing 13:25, 22:20, 37:15 . Damn, throughout the reaction Sheera had some great insights.
I loved y’all’s enthusiasm! You three were picking up on shit so quick. Guy in the middle got all of the political scheming, guy on the right saw all of the film technical shit (and the jabba realization was great). Girl on left wasn’t speaking much at the beginning so I thought she wasn’t into it at first, and then she just straight up started predicting book 3 and 4 plot points and I was like Damn OKaY!
She got the Byakugan bro😂
I think the dreams aren't literal visions, they have a hidden meaning.
Jamis was telling him he will teach him the way of the desert. On the duel against Jamis, Paul is taught one of the desert ways which is no yielding, no mercy. Making Paul take his first life, leaving his old self and becoming Kwisatz Haderach.
Yup, it is all very cryptic
A good read. Also worth noting that the book adds an additional practical wrinkle beyond symbolism:
His dreams aren't always accurate. He sees POSSIBLE paths but not always how to get to them. So the dreams where he is killed by Chani, where Jamis is his friend, and where Jamis kills him could also be alluding to that alongside pulling that symbolic load.
Paul doesn't see the future, he sees possible futures.
You guys are some of the best reactors I've seen. You caught on what Dune was about very quickly compared to many I've seen :)
And you're right, the Baron Harkonnen is the 'Jabba' of Dune. It is not unfair for me to say since Star Wars took a lot of ideas from this book.
The subs for the opening "Carol Baskin put the hit out on Pop Smoke" fucked me up. I was cackling for five minutes 😂😂😂
15:20 That Arizona shit had me dead 💀
You guys are smart and personable. As an old (really old) Dune fan who read the novel as a teen in the 60's, I salute you !
This reaction is hilariously entertaining.
You three made this so fun to watch.

@@kevinAQ0607 to just think about how much star wars took from dune if you think of it in the 'original order' of star wars, starting with anakins story... really, its like george lucas was like 'ok, lets make a childrens version of Dune'.

@@Isoweb1000 Oh dude, literally verging on plagiarism.
such an awesome reaction! y’all picked up on so many things and were so invested into the movie. glad that y’all loved it!
This trio has nice complementary energy and team sense of humor
54:30 They did explain a lot well. Unfortunately they couldn't get to everything and had to cut out stuff about important world building elements. Like the Mentats (aka the dudes who kept rolling their eyes back in their head and blinking strangely).
The characters Thufir Hawat (Stephen McKinley Henderson) and Piter De'Vries (David Dastmalchian) were Mentats, people trained to be living super computers.
Thousands of years before the story, humanity had advanced super computers and artificial intelligence to manage almost all of the tasks of civilization. The computers guided ships through foldspace, stored data, made calculations, and even served as doctors and medical staff. Humanity realized it was becoming too weak and too dependent on it's machines, so it rose up and destroyed them all in the Butlerian Jihad.
After they purged super computers and AI from civilization, humans quickly realized they had to develop their own skills to compensate. That's how all of the schools of 'super humans' in this civilization came about: The navigators of the Spacing Guild, the Bene Gesserit, the Mentats. Even Dr. Yueh (Chang Chen) was a Suk Doctor, a highly trained and conditioned doctor to replace the AI doctors they had used.
Also the 'year 10191' card you see in the beginning, is supposed to be AG calendar (After Guild). The actual year of the 'Dune' universe is closer to 26,000 A.D./C.E.
The pre-duel vision is more of a "kill the boy, become the man" vision. He can't become the Kwisatz Haderach (the male chosen one) without killing who he was, Paul Atreides, the boy.
What I love about this video is you show true emotions, true reactions. In a few other similar videos they constantly nitpick and miss half the story because they constantly talk over it.
I've been living with these novels for decades, and your reaction was just brilliant and spot on. The movie works, because you caught all the key elements and put it together so, so well.
What I like about you guys, is that even though ya talk and joke around, you still pay attention and pick up the important stuff. ya are smart too. cus even me, quiet in the theater trying to pay attention, didn't pick up half the things you did lol it was later explained to me by my dad who read the books, but anyway you guys rock
