Here's my FULL Dune Movie Breakdown Easter Eggs and Ending Explained. Post all your predictions in the comments! My Eternals Review will post tomorrow. Here's my new Eternals Doctor Strange Trailer video too! ruclips.net/video/2dRjORqgGq8/видео.html
I had to watch Blade Runner 2049 again because Denis Villenueve does such an awesome job with these scifi flicks. The writing, design, art & soundtrack are so incredible you can almost feel the culture of it. My only gripe, and it's small, is the visions seemed to happen too often and were too long, like every time the story/movie moved forward we had to dive back into another vision of Zandaya. I read the original books so I get it. Maybe I'll feel differently after watching it a few more times. Timothée Chalamet also did a much better job as Paul Atreides than I expected as well.
you don't think they are going all Marvel and shooting them one after the other. Kinda, thats a wrap people, see you in three weeks, know your lines and don't get fat.
I did NOT want this movie to end. Zimmer's score was so incredible and soaring that I kept thinking they were going to end it before they did. Just magnificent.
Really? Half the movie I needed government issue night vision goggles, rest it was wondering if the autistic kid was drinking his ass water, then the last of it was wondering if the thing he put in his nose was recycled ass air
I felt like the soundtrack was far too overbearing honestly. There were a few moments when the musical swells fit with the action on screen but it seemed like Zimmer crammed in the setpiece music in EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE. It got really, really old.
The music in this really was outstanding. It wasn’t just in the background, either. Like the bagpipes the soldier played in the movie when they landed was played as part of the soundtrack later. Hans Zimmer has said that writing the music went fairly quickly because he’s heard it in his head every time he’s read the books.
Yeah that bit was amazing, i saw the dude with the bagpipes and thought okay? How's this gonna play out but it was different and intense and captured the atmosphere perfect.
@SAUL deGAUL i didn't really think about it that deep, but yeah makes sense. I just liked the sound they made with it, some bagpipes futuristic vibe, i think it really added to the atmosphere.
The sound design of this movie absolutely deserves an Oscar. Too bad some people won't ever hear it. I did a rewatch at home, and was shocked by how much of the sound was missing. When I watched on a normal TV, the 'Voice' was non-existent. It wasn't until I switched to my home theater setup with subwoofer that I could hear it. Even then, it was underwhelming. Also, the scene with the Baron and the Mother talking in the silence... there was a distinct muted hum that didn't show up at home.
Maybe it was the theater we saw it in, but the music seemed too uniformly loud and sometimes drowned out dialogue. How much control does a theater have in this?
I saw it on Imax and my seat was on the very first row in front of the screen(bought my tickets late)… as soon as it ended and they turned on the lights at the back of the room, I looked behind myself and the spectators with their covid masks all the way up in the inclined rows of seats looked like Fremen in the dunes of Arrakis… immersive to say the least.
I think Timonthy is a great actor, he played Paul Atraides with sensitivity, his conversation with Doctor Kinds was knowledgeable and caring, he reminded her about the Freeman warrior she once loved, it's just a shame she had to die.
@@davidlewis5312 well, he doesn't have to look like bodybuilder but he has to put on weight to look more healthy ( like 10 kilos) but still slim and natural - that's it, he doesn't need muscles.
In a more metaphorical sense, Jamis did teach Paul the ways of the desert. Jamis declaring to fight Jessica's champion and eventual death leads Paul to prove his worth and Stilgar to accept Paul as one of his own. Paul gains the courage to kill a man for the first time, but also to kill the boy inside of himself. What more of a lesson could Paul benefit from than that?
Yes I was thinking this too, the vision could've been a metaphor for his fight with Jamis and he gave him that experience of killing him that he might need at a later date
I watched it on HBO Max, and my surround sound made this movie this best experience for me personally. I have a really good surround sound though. Every time they used The Voice, my entire living room shook. It was amazing.
I have been waiting since I was 12 (I’m 35 now) to see THIS Dune in theaters. I just saw it today and my eyes welled up with tears in the final moments of the film. I couldn’t believe they finally realized a vision that was so good, casting, music, acting, visuals, sound.. I was filled with emotion by how lucky I was to see it. I pray I’m lucky enough to see a Part Two and maybe more in the future, but man it seems like it might struggle for us to even get the second half of the first book completed.
*I have watch both the Previous Movie & Mini Series. This was MUCH MUCH Better! It all felt brutal, Raw, epic! Can't wait for Part 2* Excellent Breakdown as always!
Visually yeh, from a story perspective no. 84 conveyed more of the story through story board art, even though it deviated from the book, 21 is more in line with the book but if you're not knowledgeable of the material many won't get it. I saw Dune 21 today and many were confused, although I'm not sure its for 12 year olds
@@dwightsimmons99 The movie from the 80's was a David Lynch film. Lynch is known for making movies and tv shows that come across as drug inspired and hard to follow. The Lynch film of Dune is the least accurate to the books of any Dune version to date. The SciFi Channel made a mini series that follows the original source material pretty well. The first book is covered in about 5 hours. I personally liked it a lot. A legitimate criticism of it would be that it had poor costumes, obvious backdrops and a much lower budget than this newest version. The 80's version can be streamed from HBOmax. The 2000 mini-series is available on dvd or possibly on RUclips.
@@tmac731 he has a beard when the family comes to Arrakis because he went to Arrakis BEFORE the Attreidis family. There’s a scene where Paul asks to go with him and his dad said no, that he would leave in two weeks with the rest of them. Duncan shaves once he returns to the family when they arrive. Dune requires you to pay attention to every detail.
When I watched Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, I was extremely grateful that all the sequels had been released before I got caught up in them. I can't imagine the pain of having to wait years before the release of a subsequent sequel. I'm really frustrated especially cause of the suspense at the end
The thing is back in early 2000s, people had more patience so it wasn't painful to wait for the next film. We didn't have social media, instant gratification, pleasure without effort and the attention span or patience of a 4 month old baby.
And because the parts will be years apart they will never have as great an impact on folks if they eat it up as it's spat out into the cinemas. I watched it once, couldn't understand it with the blaring music all the time so I will wait till the final part before I watch it all.
Instead of thinking of it as “alternate timelines”, I saw it as Paul not knowing how to properly interpret what was coming to him. The fight with Jamis was a turning point to allow his path forward into the desert, but also a part of him “died for the Kwisatz Haderach to rise”, like it was a pivotal moment personally.
as a newbie to the world of dune, i took it to mean that following the friend meant killing him because if paul hadn't killed him, he would not have been able to go into the dessert
I’ve read the books and I agree with you. He could hear the Bene Jesserit training rising up in genetic memory urging him to choose their path-the path to him being the Kwisatz Haderach. When he makes the choice to kill Jamis, he is essentially choosing his own path: the golden path; the j*had of Muad’Dib; the chance to become Cheney’s Usul. All of this is never explicitly said in the books but the tensions are there. I love the way Denis so masterfully captured all the nuance and tension in one scene. Incredible.
@@kabonase I've been seeing this a lot. Paul did not have access to previous memories, like the bene gessert and Leto 2. Paul through higher dimensional thinking and bridging space-time with his mind, could see past, future, and what he called the "now". His mind was a super computer and fully unlocked when he took the water of life. His Son Leto 2, had ALL ancestral memory and Paul's ability to bridge space-time. His trial was mass consumption of spice and finding inner control through a dominant conciousness in the past. The movie is playing losly with Paul's ancestral memories. I'm ok with it, but there is a huge distinction between them.
@SAUL deGAUL I have seen both and love them both. This one is more faithful to the book and feels tense. I watch the Lynch's Dune about once every two years, and will continue to do so, but I think this one is the superior product, despite it flaws.
If this film is successful, and there are other sequels to continue, then Jason Mamoa is one lucky s.o.b. to continue coming back repeatedly, and collect all those fat acting checks.
@Marko Polo I feel like the people who call it boring don’t really appreciate movies that make them think too much. They have short attention spans so they need lots of fighting, lots of comedic relief, and a lot of dialogue to help them understand everything. Dune is not like other movies nor is it anything like other stories. You’re meant to feel it and think about it. Movies don’t make you do that anymore hence why some folks are calling it boring.
@@MrsTruthTeller I think your giving yourself too much credit. This was like a picture book vs a novel. I much prefer a novel. This movie was a picture book. Pretty too look at not much there.
The most dissapointing thing is that they didn't give it the Lord of the Rings treatment. 3 films made in parallel released over the span of 3 years. They easily have enough content for 3 films..
I never saw the original Dune, nor read the books. This felt like I was watching Star Wars, which would explain why I liked it so much. I’m betting George Lucas borrowed some concepts from the book and applied them to A New Hope.
Like, almost every scifi is inspired by Star Wars, which whas inspired by Dune. Desert planet, Chosen One, powers, such and such. And Dune was inspired by Lawrence of Arabia.
@@diegodeluquev1433 dune was inspired by Edgar rice Burroughs writing. Specifically. A prince of mars or john carter of mars. Edgar rice Burroughs also created Tarzan. He is the original OG of science fiction.
George Lucas literally stole everything from Dune. He even admits it. The Jedi mind trick is the Bene Gesserit. Spice mines of Kessel. Desert planet. The Chosen One. Sand crawlers. Storm troopers vs. Sardaurkar.
A couple more Easter eggs: 1) my daughter actually caught this one - Oscar Isaac saying, "I always wanted to be a pilot." Nice tie-in to his Poe Dameron character. 2) The score's semi-homage to the 1984 version. I definitely heard this when Jessica and Paul first ventured out into the desert after putting on their stillsuits.
DUNE!!!! We have to make this one of the most successful franchises of all time! Hopefully it builds up to win over people and make it a beloved franchise
When Duncan killed those harkonens then clacks his swords at the other soldiers before taking that dragon fly craft, and they run off, was such a great moment for that character. You felt how hardcore he was.
Wouldn't it have been smart if they filmed DUNE like the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy ? Film all 3 films at same time and just release them12 months apart? That way they are able to hype things up and keep their fan base strong. Too much time between sequels usually ends up with fans losing interest in the franchise as a whole. We are in an information age society and that means a right now society. That meaning fans are more impatient than every when it comes to movies and shows.
That's why I said it would be really weird for them to make the movie this way, and NOT release part 2. If they were only going to do 1 movie, they would have edited it very differently and done it more like the original movie.
@@emergencyawesome While true, the fact that they didn't go full LOTR and film them back-to-back with consecutive yearly release schedules is just so frustrating. We are probably a minimum of 3-4 years from a sequel if they greenlight it today. Plus it will cost far more to make in the long run.
Villeneuve should’ve made Dune a series on HBO Max. Each season could’ve been a book, with like 8 or 10 hour long episodes in each season. At the very least a movie trilogy. This universe and worlds is too amazing to not tell it in some sort of long form.
Yeah, Dune: The Sisterhood is the working title of the show. There hasn’t been much revealed about it apart that it supposedly takes place before the movie… I’m expecting that they’ll use this as a way to really flesh out the intricacies of the Dune universe. Denis is a producer and I think has signed on to direct an episode or two.
Thank Shai'hulud it wasn't made for HBO. Plenty of Dune fans out there with no access to HBO, Sky or Netflix 😁 but yeah, I wish the movies were back to back.
I thought Chani's prologue at the start "My planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low." was a reference to Irulan's "A beginning is a very delicate time".
I like how he even tried to make the future happen in battle he kept trying to see if he would yield because he still wanted to learn from him but the there isn't yielding the fight already began.
“What’s he doing? Toying with him?” “He’s never killed before..” And then he holds Jamis’ hand as he dies… We’re lucky to get such rich content from modern sci fi.
Awesome yeah it's an amazing experience.i think people who don't like it just are conditioned by modern films that are fast paced shallow action flicks. This movie has depth to it and that's definitely refreshing.
Jason Momoa had a much bigger and more impressive role in this version than Richard Jordan did in the 1984 version. Duncan Idaho is the only character that appears in all of Frank Herbert's Dune novels. One correction, gholas had no memory of their past lives. The first ghola to recover memories of his past life was the first Duncan Ghola. Spoilers for Dune Messiah, but the Tleilaxu who created the ghola hypnotically programmed him to Kill Paul. But because Duncan had loved Paul, the emotional conflict released the memories of his past life. It has been a very long time since I read the Dune novels, but it always seemed to me that Frank Herbert intended 2 trilogies, with a single in between book (God Emperor of Dune) to act as a bridge. But Herbert died before he could conclude the series. The 6th book ended on kind of a cliffhanger. His son Brian wrote 2 sequels based on his father's notes that (in my opinion) weren't very good. But at least I found out how the story ended. More spoilers for the sequels. The reason that God Emperor was in my opinion a bridge novel is because it covers the life of Paul's son Leto II who lived for more than 3 millenia. At the end of Children of Dune, Leto turns himself into a human/sandworm hybrid and rules as God Emperor. He would always have a Duncan ghola serving him. He would frequently become angry and kill his Duncan but immediately order a new one. In the sequels to God Emperor which take place thousands of years after Leto's death a Duncan is created with the genetic memory of every Duncan ghola, making him in a sense the longest lived character in the saga.
There was definitely supposed to be at least one more book., nevertheless, I see Chapterhouse Dune as an adequate ending on its own, we can think of the cliffhanger as like a post credits scene to tell you that the adventure continues even though we won't see it anymore
Way to ruin a book written in 1965 Bro. LOL!!! I think if people had not read it by now, it's on them. IMO, your spoiler warning is like going to see "Titanic" and you yell out "Titanic sinks!" in the lobby. I do appreciate you looking out though.
@@jimclark2824 Sorry, I forgot all about him. It's been 35 years since I read Frank Herbert's Dune novels. I actually looked him up. The article I read only covered Frank's books, but he must have also been in Brian's sequels. I read those much more recently but remember even less about them. But I just started rereading Dune. I doubt I will get as far as Brian's novels again, but who knows.
I read a comment elsewhere that while Paul was kneeling at the foot of the Harvester he said "I recognize your footsteps, I hear you coming old man" where we thought he was talking about Hallek (as he said during fighting practice) but he was also referring to Shai-Hulud, the worm, also known as the old man of the desert. I thought this was a cool easter egg that I didn't pick up on before.
Thanks for this. I didn't remember this scene from the book, but in the movie I knew he was referring to Shai+Halud, and I missed the double reference - that he could have been referring to Hallek
The fremen are better fighters than the Sardaukar before Paul and Jessica even show up. There is a scene in the book when Hawat talks with the fremen that makes this pretty clear. Once they are taught the weirding ways they're basically unstoppable.
Not to be that guy, but the book clearly shows that the Fremen are superior fighters to the Emperor’s elite shock troops (just not organized or well supplied) from the start. In their first encounter the Fremen are not impressed with them, saying only a few of their enemies fought better than others. Once Paul & Jessica train the Fremen in their fighting styles, they become nearly unstoppable.
You actually see this in the movie... the 5 fremen at the weather station take on a company of Sardaukar. Yes, they die, but they take out a whole lot more. 3 to 1 ratio, when you get to the Sardaukar infiltration of the smugglers
Yeah, I'd say the. seen that you see fremen fighting Sardaukar actually underplays their lethality. I remember a scene from the books (probably the same one you are talking about) where a handful of fremen take out a whole group of Sardaukar almost without effort, and this is before meeting Paul and Jessica. The movie seems to just portray them as effective, savage warriers here.
And don't forget to defeat the Sardaukar they had to use both atomics on the shield wall, and the shock of deploying giant sandworms. Prior to that it was about two years of hit and run guerilla raids.
I like the way the spice sort of talks to him in that creepy voice telling him what could happen. "The Kwisatz Haderach must rise!" The Baron and Leto scene with the tooth was immense and so atmospheric. Brilliant film 💯
Good video. I think you're almost right about the Sardaukar. They're SUPPOSED to be the best fighters in the universe. But the reason the emperor wants the Atreides wiped out is because they were secretly training an army that was on par with, if not slightly better than, the Sardaukar. The Atreides also discover that the Fremen are actually better fighters than the Sardaukar when a bunch of their women and children beat the crap out of them. Paul defeating Jamis is a manifestation of the superior Atreides training, which easily bested somebody who is better than Sardaukar. Same with Duncan mowing down Sardaukar as if they were children. Nobody is supposed to be able to defeat Sardaukar one on one. So this becomes massive problem for the emperor.
Can't wait for part 2, riding eathworms looks like fun, can't wait to see that in part 2. Also, for me in general the movie didn't feel long, I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Hope everyone stays safe, keep up the work charlie.
Watched it with a friend who never read the books and he enjoyed it so much that he insisted on going to the book store right after to buy a copy so he could start reading ahead. Dune was quite an experience and I'm glad to see so many other people enjoyed it as well. Movie of the year for sure. We don't get movies like Dune this often.
@@rachelasf2125 In the book I believe the wife of the man (she's not in the movie) becomes his servant. The other Fremen accept Paul, as he did not issue the challenge to duel.
Best adaptation book to film for anything I've seen hands down. It's set a real benchmark for sci fi films going forward and I'm still shook over how brilliant it is as a film on its own and an adaptation
According to the book, the Fremen were better fighters than the Sardaukar even before they learned BG and Atreides fighting. In the books Paul can see alternative futures but there are places he can't see...the outcome of the fight with Jamis is one of the things he can't see. While gholas retain the memories of the original person, they are down deep, they don't actually remember them...that is something new that Paul awakens in the Duncan Idaho ghola. The first Duncan Idaho ghola appears in the second book, Dune Messiah. Vladamir Harkonnen was raised to be Baron ahead of his half brother because the half brother was considered to be too mild.
I felt like Jamis had visions about Paul and knew that fighting him would advance him on his Journey even though he would die, such a great ending that left you curious and wanting more. Gave me the same feeling Fellowship of The Ring ending gave me when I watched it for the first time. Now we just have to wait two more years for the second movie.
Nah, in the book, he was just basically testing to see if Paul and Jessica were the prophesied people they claimed to be, and really Jessica was indeed bullshitting them.
I’ve only read the first novel and not yet gotten to any of the sequels, so I may not have learned this yet. But in the original novel, Paul can see possible futures, but he does not have the ability to see the past. That is a special power his sister gets from being in the womb when Jessica drinks the water of life. Paul’s sister absorbs all the memories of the past Reverend Mothers
I really enjoyed this Dune movie, and I truly appreciate your insight. It's been years since I read the Dune series and watched the previous movies, and when I'm listening to you, I keep thinking "oh yeah, I forgot about that". You've helped me to better understand this version, so now I'm going to go back and watch it again. And since we will be waiting quite a while for Dune Part 2, I think I'll go back and revisit the original book series again ... okay, and I'll probably watch all the other movies again. Thanks again for a great breakdown ... Cheers!
I’ve read the books and loved them.. I’ve watched the original film so many times.. I don’t know the series but I absolutely LOVED this film. I felt it is definitely doing this great piece of sci-fi literature justice. Cannot wait for part 2.
I was waiting for this! Me and my wife watch this when it dropped and we loved it! I kinda had the mindset of this movie like game of thrones. Lots of stuff to try and understand to a great story. We were a bit confused tho so this helps a lot!! Appreciate it!
Best movie I've seen this year. Very fresh and with alot of creativity. It felt like the movie would never end. And the visions are very weird seeing dead characters be pivotal to the main characters real life
I just finished the movie and thought it was really good. Kept me invest the whole way through. Performances were great. I hope WB let's sequels continue. I want to get the soundtrack.
Man seriously this movie is one of the best movie I've watched in awhile this shit is epic the visuals and sound design are EPIC AS HELL! anyone who haven't watched it you better! You won't regret it you'll be craving for more .
Are you including Brian's books as part of your facts and explanations? Maybe I've forgotten things from the core series (and there were a lot of things). Anyway, the background on the Saardukar seemed new to me; the stuff about how they start training at 6 years and half of them are dead by 11 or 12. And, the stuff about the Baron Harkonen's kids and the icky revenge... was that in one of the last books,; Heritage or Chapterhouse? I know I read it, but I can't remember where. And, I did read parts of some of Brian's books, so I wonder if it's from there. I really appreciate the effort you put into this video. It's so fun to be a fan.
Watching this in theaters was amazing! It felt like I was there on Arrakis as all of this went down. As someone who read the book, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and can’t wait for a part 2! There might have been some minor plot holes and the character development may not have been the greatest, but as a motion picture, I feel like it really captured the spirit of Dune and placed everything that I had envisioned in the books onto a screen perfectly!
The movie was interesting, but it really felt like half a movie. I feel like a sequel is in order. it seemed like this shoulda been a show instead of a movie.
There's a fun editing mistake I noticed just recently, after Duncan was stabbed in the chest by the Sardaukar and then got back up to take out the sword and shouted... you could actually see that 2 of the Sardaukar weren't wearing helmets but then when the camera angle changed they were wearing helmets again
I've actually heard that the 'Dreams are messages from the deep" is spoken by Leto from the later books. I would totally watch Villenueve's version of that Leto!
The Duncan ghola appears in the next book, Dune Messiah, and it's where Paul begins to reject his leadership on the Golden Path. By Children of Dune, Leto and his twin sister both have similar abilities, and Leto chooses to be burdened with the Golden Path. God Emperor of Dune is a millennium later, when Leto's plan comes to fruition. But the Duncan ghola first appears in the second book, and other Duncan gholas appear from God Emperor forward.
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Your videos are always the best! Because I have not read the books do you think they will make another movie or change it into a series on HBO. I was thinking since they didn't have plans for a sequel they might go this route to keep people interested in their streaming service. Thoughts???
yep... silly of them to delay it so long here hoping for a big cinema release post lockdown. Ive had this movie 'spoiled' about a hundred times already. If you can 'spoil' a story based on a 50+ yr old book anyway 😅
@@LNTH7283 haha true, its the same with venom, i couldnt go see that cause my nearest cinema is about an hr away and it was in lockdown and the best part was it wasnt even showing it, ive already been spoiled countless times, i just wish theyd release it early on lets say itunes since i got apple tv just until lockdown is over or something
DUDE!! I can't wait for part 2. There were a bunch of things that I did NOT know and thanks to you (like always) your breakdown answered all my questions. Thank you (again) for breaking this movie down for us. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again YOU 'EFFIN RULE!!! I CANNOT wait to hear your review for 'THE ETERNALS' tomorrow.
@@emergencyawesome though I did notice one mistake they made. The kris knife that shadout mapes gives Jessica was un-sheathed and re-sheathed without drawing blood.
@@djmaydraws3862 yeah, the Lynch movie had plenty of issues, but I grew up wit it. But like I said, so far this supplants it and I am looking forward to Part 2.
Can we have a video explaining the basics of Dune's universe? I know there's some back story about the war between humans and androids/AI that wasn't fully touched on in the film. Would love to know more about the history and state of the world/universe prior to the story beginning. LOVED the film 💕
If this movie doesn’t make money there won’t be a part 2. Better hope it does. This movie was ok. But needed to build up the next one. If there is a next one. Thanks for the video.
I was fascinated by the mouse, shown briefly among the sand dunes. I always associated it with the shadow in the second moon of Dune/Arrakis, but Villeneuve apparently intends to give us more than that. I'm thrilled.
The association with the moon is from Lynch's script, the "Mouse shaped shadow on the moon." In the book Paul takes the word for the actual mouse as his Freman name.
Charlie you are indeed correct that the Sod’akhar begin their brutal training at age six much like the Spartans of Earth. I saw this with a group of friends who had both read the book and those who never had. It was those of us who have read the novels who enjoyed the film the most. Those who had seen the David Lynch film as their only reference for the Dune universe were a bit confused, and the rest loved the cinematography, real effects, and music but were as lost as you’d expect! 😊
Finally a version of the story that isn't a mess (like the Lynch film and the book). This shows that under all the bad storytelling of the book, there's a great story.... Also, poor Ronon Dex. Always forgotten when people talk about Jason Momoa.
I've heard about the influence DUNE had on Star Wars, but it really is that Star Wars ripped a lot of the concepts from DUNE for the prequels and sequeals. Both great in their own ways though!
Hi great video and I looooved the movie, tho the only thing I found confusing and you didnt touch uppon is the politic side and the relationships Why are certain groups merged, why are they send for the Spice, why are some hostile, who is everyone and what are there roles??
Be careful. Dune is written quite terribly. The story is great, but the presentation is a mess. It jumps all around the place, it's unfocused and all the characters are all one-dimensional. Frank Herbert is a great worldbuilder, but a horrible storyteller.
There are two reasons I think this adaptation works so well. One, the story itself is very much what is going on in Paul's head. David Lynch tried to convey this with whispering voice overs, to a limited success. Denis is showing us what is happening internally with with beautiful story telling in almost subtle ways. "Dune' really needed his style to be done properly. Two, the technology is spot on. I was really interested in seeing how things like the irnathopter was going to be done, and Denis nailed it. I just wish he went a little more into the mentats. As Duncan's golen is trained as a mental, more of a joke, which backfires. Giving a military mind the abilities of a logic based thought process makes him a huge threat to his enemies. It's been a while since I've read the Dune series, which book has that group trying to breed the worms on another world to wrestle the monopoly on spice that Arakis has?

Here's my FULL Dune Movie Breakdown Easter Eggs and Ending Explained. Post all your predictions in the comments! My Eternals Review will post tomorrow. Here's my new Eternals Doctor Strange Trailer video too! ruclips.net/video/2dRjORqgGq8/видео.html
Dune messiah is when the Gola hyte shows up. Hyte is the Gola of Idaho
I had to watch Blade Runner 2049 again because Denis Villenueve does such an awesome job with these scifi flicks. The writing, design, art & soundtrack are so incredible you can almost feel the culture of it. My only gripe, and it's small, is the visions seemed to happen too often and were too long, like every time the story/movie moved forward we had to dive back into another vision of Zandaya. I read the original books so I get it. Maybe I'll feel differently after watching it a few more times. Timothée Chalamet also did a much better job as Paul Atreides than I expected as well.
TY for explaining that he was able to 'see' in different timelines,because I got confused on that scene.
Was that a chairdog I saw during the meeting with the Baron, Piter De Vries and Gaius Helen Mohiam? Did Denis put one in the movie?
you don't think they are going all Marvel and shooting them one after the other. Kinda, thats a wrap people, see you in three weeks, know your lines and don't get fat.
I did NOT want this movie to end. Zimmer's score was so incredible and soaring that I kept thinking they were going to end it before they did. Just magnificent.
Zimmer is ok composer, not in the league of John Williams or Ennio Moriconne , he is better sound designer than a composer and orchestrator .
Really? Half the movie I needed government issue night vision goggles, rest it was wondering if the autistic kid was drinking his ass water, then the last of it was wondering if the thing he put in his nose was recycled ass air
Trust me, go see it again.
I had to piss so damn bad but didn't want to leave even for a second.
I felt like the soundtrack was far too overbearing honestly. There were a few moments when the musical swells fit with the action on screen but it seemed like Zimmer crammed in the setpiece music in EVERY. SINGLE. SCENE. It got really, really old.
The music in this really was outstanding. It wasn’t just in the background, either. Like the bagpipes the soldier played in the movie when they landed was played as part of the soundtrack later. Hans Zimmer has said that writing the music went fairly quickly because he’s heard it in his head every time he’s read the books.
One of the songs sounded suspiciously like his Man of Steel song
Yeah that bit was amazing, i saw the dude with the bagpipes and thought okay? How's this gonna play out but it was different and intense and captured the atmosphere perfect.
@SAUL deGAUL i didn't really think about it that deep, but yeah makes sense. I just liked the sound they made with it, some bagpipes futuristic vibe, i think it really added to the atmosphere.
@SAUL deGAUL Duke McLeto??
Yeah, sorry, the tribal "aheeeyaaaaa" stuff sucked...and the CGI was even a bit wonky at times.
The Imax experience was incredible every time they used "the voice" the theater shook.
I love the voice
🤣🤣🤣
I regret watching on hbo max I should’ve watched it at the theater
It was amazing. I was high on weed and it was almost overwhelming
Saw it in XD and it was intense.
Best movie I've seen in years.
The sound design of this movie absolutely deserves an Oscar. Too bad some people won't ever hear it. I did a rewatch at home, and was shocked by how much of the sound was missing. When I watched on a normal TV, the 'Voice' was non-existent. It wasn't until I switched to my home theater setup with subwoofer that I could hear it. Even then, it was underwhelming. Also, the scene with the Baron and the Mother talking in the silence... there was a distinct muted hum that didn't show up at home.
sound was great but that doesn't justify weakness of movie itself
Great movie imo. Has some minor weaknesses but overall its great and immerses you into the world
Maybe it was the theater we saw it in, but the music seemed too uniformly loud and sometimes drowned out dialogue. How much control does a theater have in this?
@@blopp6240 it’s a part 1 that’s why it fees ‘weak’

I've never felt so immersed during Sci-fi movie, honestly forgot I was in a movie theater during the movie
Didn't even feel like a 3 hr. movie.
i forgot that i was in theater as well because security guard was waking me up at the end of film
@@joneshugh it was 3 hours? It felt too short.. i dont know but im not really satisfied… felt like a pilot episode.
@@jeanmuyuela8112 2hrs 30mins
I saw it on Imax and my seat was on the very first row in front of the screen(bought my tickets late)… as soon as it ended and they turned on the lights at the back of the room, I looked behind myself and the spectators with their covid masks all the way up in the inclined rows of seats looked like Fremen in the dunes of Arrakis… immersive to say the least.
I think Timonthy is a great actor, he played Paul Atraides with sensitivity, his conversation with Doctor Kinds was knowledgeable and caring, he reminded her about the Freeman warrior she once loved, it's just a shame she had to die.
needs to put on some muscle before next shooting if he wants to play Muad'dib but I agree, the character especially for the first Act was perfect.
@@davidlewis5312 well, he doesn't have to look like bodybuilder but he has to put on weight to look more healthy ( like 10 kilos) but still slim and natural - that's it, he doesn't need muscles.
@@adeaxel3125 these are two different things by putting on weight because of fat content and muscle gain.
In a more metaphorical sense, Jamis did teach Paul the ways of the desert. Jamis declaring to fight Jessica's champion and eventual death leads Paul to prove his worth and Stilgar to accept Paul as one of his own. Paul gains the courage to kill a man for the first time, but also to kill the boy inside of himself. What more of a lesson could Paul benefit from than that?
Yes I was thinking this too, the vision could've been a metaphor for his fight with Jamis and he gave him that experience of killing him that he might need at a later date
I was a friend of Jamis
@@YanickaQuilt He taught me when you kill, you pay for it.
How is no one talking about how attack on titan was most DEFINITELY based off of dune🤔
Just left the theater. I couldn't imagine experiencing this on my couch. This demanded the theater experience, and paid in full. It was fantastic!
I started watching at home and 30 seconds in I knew I had to stop
I saw it at home and it was still incredible so I can only imagine how good it was at the theater.
Ok I watched this on HBOmax and it wasn’t giving. I’ll have to head to the theaters for this
I watched it on HBO Max, and my surround sound made this movie this best experience for me personally. I have a really good surround sound though. Every time they used The Voice, my entire living room shook. It was amazing.
It was still amazing at home. my only complaint is the music rattled the walls, adding some bad reverb effect.
Never watched or read any prior iterations. Gotta say I rate it a 9 out of 10. I see where Star Wars got some of its references.
Nice!

I have been waiting since I was 12 (I’m 35 now) to see THIS Dune in theaters.
I just saw it today and my eyes welled up with tears in the final moments of the film.
I couldn’t believe they finally realized a vision that was so good, casting, music, acting, visuals, sound.. I was filled with emotion by how lucky I was to see it.
I pray I’m lucky enough to see a Part Two and maybe more in the future, but man it seems like it might struggle for us to even get the second half of the first book completed.
*I have watch both the Previous Movie & Mini Series. This was MUCH MUCH Better! It all felt brutal, Raw, epic! Can't wait for Part 2* Excellent Breakdown as always!
Nice! I'm pretty sure they're going to do Dune Part 2, but they probably won't officially announce it for at least a few weeks.
What were the previous
Visually yeh, from a story perspective no. 84 conveyed more of the story through story board art, even though it deviated from the book, 21 is more in line with the book but if you're not knowledgeable of the material many won't get it.
I saw Dune 21 today and many were confused, although I'm not sure its for 12 year olds
@@dwightsimmons99 The movie from the 80's was a David Lynch film. Lynch is known for making movies and tv shows that come across as drug inspired and hard to follow. The Lynch film of Dune is the least accurate to the books of any Dune version to date.
The SciFi Channel made a mini series that follows the original source material pretty well. The first book is covered in about 5 hours. I personally liked it a lot. A legitimate criticism of it would be that it had poor costumes, obvious backdrops and a much lower budget than this newest version.
The 80's version can be streamed from HBOmax.
The 2000 mini-series is available on dvd or possibly on RUclips.
Need to read the books or listen to the auduobooks at least. So much better still.

Why TF was his beard different on every scene?
@@tmac731 he has a beard when the family comes to Arrakis because he went to Arrakis BEFORE the Attreidis family. There’s a scene where Paul asks to go with him and his dad said no, that he would leave in two weeks with the rest of them. Duncan shaves once he returns to the family when they arrive. Dune requires you to pay attention to every detail.
@@thateaweevil5982 I forgot he said 2 weeks but this movie has too much info to notice that
When I watched Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, I was extremely grateful that all the sequels had been released before I got caught up in them. I can't imagine the pain of having to wait years before the release of a subsequent sequel. I'm really frustrated especially cause of the suspense at the end
The thing is back in early 2000s, people had more patience so it wasn't painful to wait for the next film. We didn't have social media, instant gratification, pleasure without effort and the attention span or patience of a 4 month old baby.
@@N0TMICAH hahah fair reply :D
And because the parts will be years apart they will never have as great an impact on folks if they eat it up as it's spat out into the cinemas. I watched it once, couldn't understand it with the blaring music all the time so I will wait till the final part before I watch it all.
Reading the books will make the wait easier because you'll get to know what happens later on and how it all ends
It was exciting waiting for the new Harry Potter book to come out. Go down to the bookstore at 12 midnight.
Instead of thinking of it as “alternate timelines”, I saw it as Paul not knowing how to properly interpret what was coming to him. The fight with Jamis was a turning point to allow his path forward into the desert, but also a part of him “died for the Kwisatz Haderach to rise”, like it was a pivotal moment personally.
In the book, Paul did see multiple pathways... in which there are different futures. It's not time lines. More avenues.
as a newbie to the world of dune, i took it to mean that following the friend meant killing him because if paul hadn't killed him, he would not have been able to go into the dessert
There isn’t room for interpretation, it is alternate timelines/paths based on outcomes and choices. Read the books
I’ve read the books and I agree with you. He could hear the Bene Jesserit training rising up in genetic memory urging him to choose their path-the path to him being the Kwisatz Haderach. When he makes the choice to kill Jamis, he is essentially choosing his own path: the golden path; the j*had of Muad’Dib; the chance to become Cheney’s Usul. All of this is never explicitly said in the books but the tensions are there. I love the way Denis so masterfully captured all the nuance and tension in one scene. Incredible.
@@kabonase I've been seeing this a lot. Paul did not have access to previous memories, like the bene gessert and Leto 2. Paul through higher dimensional thinking and bridging space-time with his mind, could see past, future, and what he called the "now". His mind was a super computer and fully unlocked when he took the water of life. His Son Leto 2, had ALL ancestral memory and Paul's ability to bridge space-time. His trial was mass consumption of spice and finding inner control through a dominant conciousness in the past.
The movie is playing losly with Paul's ancestral memories. I'm ok with it, but there is a huge distinction between them.
fucking MASTERPIECE. Had no expectations and yet I was fucking blown away. I am so ready for pt 2
@SAUL deGAUL I have seen both and love them both. This one is more faithful to the book and feels tense. I watch the Lynch's Dune about once every two years, and will continue to do so, but I think this one is the superior product, despite it flaws.
If this film is successful, and there are other sequels to continue, then Jason Mamoa is one lucky s.o.b. to continue coming back repeatedly, and collect all those fat acting checks.
@Marko Polo I feel like the people who call it boring don’t really appreciate movies that make them think too much. They have short attention spans so they need lots of fighting, lots of comedic relief, and a lot of dialogue to help them understand everything. Dune is not like other movies nor is it anything like other stories. You’re meant to feel it and think about it. Movies don’t make you do that anymore hence why some folks are calling it boring.
@@MrsTruthTeller I think your giving yourself too much credit. This was like a picture book vs a novel. I much prefer a novel. This movie was a picture book. Pretty too look at not much there.
@@bumpin0, you're. I think you're, not your.
The most dissapointing thing is that they didn't give it the Lord of the Rings treatment. 3 films made in parallel released over the span of 3 years. They easily have enough content for 3 films..
Maybe it will be continued with success of pt 2. But yes indeed, disappointing. I felt it could've been longer but it was 2 hours and 25 minutes lol.
I never saw the original Dune, nor read the books. This felt like I was watching Star Wars, which would explain why I liked it so much. I’m betting George Lucas borrowed some concepts from the book and applied them to A New Hope.
Like, almost every scifi is inspired by Star Wars, which whas inspired by Dune. Desert planet, Chosen One, powers, such and such. And Dune was inspired by Lawrence of Arabia.
…Spice mines
it was
@@diegodeluquev1433 dune was inspired by Edgar rice Burroughs writing. Specifically. A prince of mars or john carter of mars. Edgar rice Burroughs also created Tarzan. He is the original OG of science fiction.
George Lucas literally stole everything from Dune. He even admits it. The Jedi mind trick is the Bene Gesserit. Spice mines of Kessel. Desert planet. The Chosen One. Sand crawlers. Storm troopers vs. Sardaurkar.
A couple more Easter eggs:
1) my daughter actually caught this one - Oscar Isaac saying, "I always wanted to be a pilot." Nice tie-in to his Poe Dameron character.
2) The score's semi-homage to the 1984 version. I definitely heard this when Jessica and Paul first ventured out into the desert after putting on their stillsuits.
This film is a part one masterpiece. I’d love to see Part Two confirmed already.

I like the idea that Paul gets taught the ways of the Fremen through Jamis. It makes it that much more significant when he “gives water to the dead”.
I love how it’s actually hard to use the voice and not some simple change in tone like Star Wars
DUNE!!!! We have to make this one of the most successful franchises of all time! Hopefully it builds up to win over people and make it a beloved franchise
Won me over. And my gf loved it’s. She hates Star Wars. But love dune. Lol
I’m 52 and new to Dune. I loved the movie!
I hope it's going to be the "Star Wars" of our generation
It did for me good movie waiting for part 2.
Won me over, tonight
When Duncan killed those harkonens then clacks his swords at the other soldiers before taking that dragon fly craft, and they run off, was such a great moment for that character. You felt how hardcore he was.
Yah , it sad that he saw the future but didn't do nothing about it . It kina low both mom and son fought with him he was able to stop them
Wouldn't it have been smart if they filmed DUNE like the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy ? Film all 3 films at same time and just release them12 months apart?
That way they are able to hype things up and keep their fan base strong. Too much time between sequels usually ends up with fans losing interest in the franchise as a whole. We are in an information age society and that means a right now society. That meaning fans are more impatient than every when it comes to movies and shows.
I agree. Now we have to wait for another 2 years for part 2
So? You'll have to put a leash on your expectation of instant gratification and learn some patience. All good things come to those who wait.
It’s wb they have taken wait on the box office approach for sequels even in the case of well known franchises
Sounds like a you problem.
Definitely feels like a movie that needs to be watched back to back with part ii
That's why I said it would be really weird for them to make the movie this way, and NOT release part 2. If they were only going to do 1 movie, they would have edited it very differently and done it more like the original movie.
@@emergencyawesome While true, the fact that they didn't go full LOTR and film them back-to-back with consecutive yearly release schedules is just so frustrating. We are probably a minimum of 3-4 years from a sequel if they greenlight it today. Plus it will cost far more to make in the long run.
@@jasonjohnson1404 I've heard that the screenplay is already being written, and could start filming in 2022. So we may only need to wait 2 years.
Villeneuve should’ve made Dune a series on HBO Max. Each season could’ve been a book, with like 8 or 10 hour long episodes in each season. At the very least a movie trilogy. This universe and worlds is too amazing to not tell it in some sort of long form.
Dennis is planning to do film a trilogy :) a show is on the way also!
@@pluckypanda9937 wow. I didn’t know that. Awesome 👏🏼
Yeah, Dune: The Sisterhood is the working title of the show. There hasn’t been much revealed about it apart that it supposedly takes place before the movie… I’m expecting that they’ll use this as a way to really flesh out the intricacies of the Dune universe. Denis is a producer and I think has signed on to direct an episode or two.
Thank Shai'hulud it wasn't made for HBO. Plenty of Dune fans out there with no access to HBO, Sky or Netflix 😁 but yeah, I wish the movies were back to back.
Literally everyone I've talked to has said they want part 2. WB would be crazy to not let it happen
If there is no part II, Hollywood should burn to the ground.
It all depends on how much it makes in the theaters. Hopefully people will keep going out and seeing it.
I thought Chani's prologue at the start "My planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low." was a reference to Irulan's "A beginning is a very delicate time".
At least Chani didn’t fade out then reappear again to tell you she forgot to say part of her own dialogue 😂
@@georgeashley6643 Agree! Virginia Madsen is lovely but that monologue was undergraduate.
I like how he even tried to make the future happen in battle he kept trying to see if he would yield because he still wanted to learn from him but the there isn't yielding the fight already began.
“What’s he doing? Toying with him?”
“He’s never killed before..”
And then he holds Jamis’ hand as he dies…
We’re lucky to get such rich content from modern sci fi.
'The Voice' needs to be experienced with a good audio setup. The vibration really shakes your soul.
Need that part 2 thoooo. Seen it 3 times now and going on Monday in imax. Worth the wait
I would recommend you to watch the Children of Dune series!
What exactly did you like so much about it?
Awesome yeah it's an amazing experience.i think people who don't like it just are conditioned by modern films that are fast paced shallow action flicks. This movie has depth to it and that's definitely refreshing.
@@avoiceup3222 no some people just found it boring . Period.
@@randybobandy9828 no people can be shallow period which is fine to me
Jason Momoa had a much bigger and more impressive role in this version than Richard Jordan did in the 1984 version. Duncan Idaho is the only character that appears in all of Frank Herbert's Dune novels. One correction, gholas had no memory of their past lives. The first ghola to recover memories of his past life was the first Duncan Ghola. Spoilers for Dune Messiah, but the Tleilaxu who created the ghola hypnotically programmed him to Kill Paul. But because Duncan had loved Paul, the emotional conflict released the memories of his past life. It has been a very long time since I read the Dune novels, but it always seemed to me that Frank Herbert intended 2 trilogies, with a single in between book (God Emperor of Dune) to act as a bridge. But Herbert died before he could conclude the series. The 6th book ended on kind of a cliffhanger. His son Brian wrote 2 sequels based on his father's notes that (in my opinion) weren't very good. But at least I found out how the story ended.
More spoilers for the sequels. The reason that God Emperor was in my opinion a bridge novel is because it covers the life of Paul's son Leto II who lived for more than 3 millenia. At the end of Children of Dune, Leto turns himself into a human/sandworm hybrid and rules as God Emperor. He would always have a Duncan ghola serving him. He would frequently become angry and kill his Duncan but immediately order a new one. In the sequels to God Emperor which take place thousands of years after Leto's death a Duncan is created with the genetic memory of every Duncan ghola, making him in a sense the longest lived character in the saga.
There was definitely supposed to be at least one more book., nevertheless, I see Chapterhouse Dune as an adequate ending on its own, we can think of the cliffhanger as like a post credits scene to tell you that the adventure continues even though we won't see it anymore
Way to ruin a book written in 1965 Bro. LOL!!! I think if people had not read it by now, it's on them. IMO, your spoiler warning is like going to see "Titanic" and you yell out "Titanic sinks!" in the lobby. I do appreciate you looking out though.
Don't forget about Scytale... Technically not in all the books, but much older than Duncan. ;)
@@jimclark2824 Sorry, I forgot all about him. It's been 35 years since I read Frank Herbert's Dune novels. I actually looked him up. The article I read only covered Frank's books, but he must have also been in Brian's sequels. I read those much more recently but remember even less about them. But I just started rereading Dune. I doubt I will get as far as Brian's novels again, but who knows.
I read a comment elsewhere that while Paul was kneeling at the foot of the Harvester he said "I recognize your footsteps, I hear you coming old man" where we thought he was talking about Hallek (as he said during fighting practice) but he was also referring to Shai-Hulud, the worm, also known as the old man of the desert. I thought this was a cool easter egg that I didn't pick up on before.
Thanks for this. I didn't remember this scene from the book, but in the movie I knew he was referring to Shai+Halud, and I missed the double reference - that he could have been referring to Hallek
The fremen are better fighters than the Sardaukar before Paul and Jessica even show up. There is a scene in the book when Hawat talks with the fremen that makes this pretty clear. Once they are taught the weirding ways they're basically unstoppable.
Dune was refreshing I enjoyed it looking forward to the sequel
Not to be that guy, but the book clearly shows that the Fremen are superior fighters to the Emperor’s elite shock troops (just not organized or well supplied) from the start. In their first encounter the Fremen are not impressed with them, saying only a few of their enemies fought better than others. Once Paul & Jessica train the Fremen in their fighting styles, they become nearly unstoppable.
You actually see this in the movie... the 5 fremen at the weather station take on a company of Sardaukar. Yes, they die, but they take out a whole lot more. 3 to 1 ratio, when you get to the Sardaukar infiltration of the smugglers
Yeah, I'd say the. seen that you see fremen fighting Sardaukar actually underplays their lethality. I remember a scene from the books (probably the same one you are talking about) where a handful of fremen take out a whole group of Sardaukar almost without effort, and this is before meeting Paul and Jessica. The movie seems to just portray them as effective, savage warriers here.
In the book the Fremen continually compliment the Sardaukar as good fighters. just not as good as them.
And don't forget to defeat the Sardaukar they had to use both atomics on the shield wall, and the shock of deploying giant sandworms. Prior to that it was about two years of hit and run guerilla raids.
I like the way the spice sort of talks to him in that creepy voice telling him what could happen. "The Kwisatz Haderach must rise!"
The Baron and Leto scene with the tooth was immense and so atmospheric. Brilliant film 💯
just saw season 8 ending of GoT: "This fight's for you Khaleesi" DAYUM
I don't know too much about Dune..I watched the movie last night and it was amazing. I feel this should have been a series rather than movie.
@@Brismo7 lol that is what they are doing now. But I fee like with series, you have more room the develop the story.
Good video. I think you're almost right about the Sardaukar. They're SUPPOSED to be the best fighters in the universe. But the reason the emperor wants the Atreides wiped out is because they were secretly training an army that was on par with, if not slightly better than, the Sardaukar. The Atreides also discover that the Fremen are actually better fighters than the Sardaukar when a bunch of their women and children beat the crap out of them. Paul defeating Jamis is a manifestation of the superior Atreides training, which easily bested somebody who is better than Sardaukar. Same with Duncan mowing down Sardaukar as if they were children. Nobody is supposed to be able to defeat Sardaukar one on one. So this becomes massive problem for the emperor.
just saw this movie this afternoon, lots of amazing imagery. I did love when Duke Leto said he wanted to be a pilot. Thanks Charlie!
Can't wait for part 2, riding eathworms looks like fun, can't wait to see that in part 2. Also, for me in general the movie didn't feel long, I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Hope everyone stays safe, keep up the work charlie.
Indeed, I left the theater wanting more.
Watched it with a friend who never read the books and he enjoyed it so much that he insisted on going to the book store right after to buy a copy so he could start reading ahead. Dune was quite an experience and I'm glad to see so many other people enjoyed it as well. Movie of the year for sure. We don't get movies like Dune this often.
Nice!
I never read the books don’t have the time too as I have two little so may I ask a question lol- is she going to want revenge for the man he killed?
@@rachelasf2125 In the book I believe the wife of the man (she's not in the movie) becomes his servant. The other Fremen accept Paul, as he did not issue the challenge to duel.
Hopefully this movie will turn many more people on to the books.
Thanks as always Charlie. So much to digest in these movies. I enjoyed the Lynch version and this new one as well.
If they don't make Dune 2 we riot!
One of your best vids to date imo. Perfect balance of information to foreshadowing. You danced the line of spoilers superbly. Well done!
The sound design was phenimonal. 100% a great theater experience.
Best adaptation book to film for anything I've seen hands down. It's set a real benchmark for sci fi films going forward and I'm still shook over how brilliant it is as a film on its own and an adaptation
I love how you still use the Loki soundtrack to end the videos. Its perfect lol
According to the book, the Fremen were better fighters than the Sardaukar even before they learned BG and Atreides fighting. In the books Paul can see alternative futures but there are places he can't see...the outcome of the fight with Jamis is one of the things he can't see. While gholas retain the memories of the original person, they are down deep, they don't actually remember them...that is something new that Paul awakens in the Duncan Idaho ghola. The first Duncan Idaho ghola appears in the second book, Dune Messiah. Vladamir Harkonnen was raised to be Baron ahead of his half brother because the half brother was considered to be too mild.
appreciate your comment
Yes, the Fremen easily took on the Saudaukar, shocking Paul into the realisation of their desert power
I felt like Jamis had visions about Paul and knew that fighting him would advance him on his Journey even though he would die, such a great ending that left you curious and wanting more. Gave me the same feeling Fellowship of The Ring ending gave me when I watched it for the first time. Now we just have to wait two more years for the second movie.
Nah, in the book, he was just basically testing to see if Paul and Jessica were the prophesied people they claimed to be, and really Jessica was indeed bullshitting them.
I’ve only read the first novel and not yet gotten to any of the sequels, so I may not have learned this yet. But in the original novel, Paul can see possible futures, but he does not have the ability to see the past. That is a special power his sister gets from being in the womb when Jessica drinks the water of life. Paul’s sister absorbs all the memories of the past Reverend Mothers
This is my 2nd time watching because I just dune early before the movie comes out and it was amazing cannot wait for part 2
I really enjoyed this Dune movie, and I truly appreciate your insight. It's been years since I read the Dune series and watched the previous movies, and when I'm listening to you, I keep thinking "oh yeah, I forgot about that". You've helped me to better understand this version, so now I'm going to go back and watch it again. And since we will be waiting quite a while for Dune Part 2, I think I'll go back and revisit the original book series again ... okay, and I'll probably watch all the other movies again.
Thanks again for a great breakdown ... Cheers!
I’ve read the books and loved them.. I’ve watched the original film so many times.. I don’t know the series but I absolutely LOVED this film. I felt it is definitely doing this great piece of sci-fi literature justice. Cannot wait for part 2.
Did you see the look on his moms face at the end tho. From almost worried or frustrated to almost evil or dark.
I was waiting for this! Me and my wife watch this when it dropped and we loved it! I kinda had the mindset of this movie like game of thrones. Lots of stuff to try and understand to a great story. We were a bit confused tho so this helps a lot!! Appreciate it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this this helped a lot I understand the movie a lot better and I enjoy it even more now due to your explanation Thank you again
Glad to hear it!
Best movie I've seen this year. Very fresh and with alot of creativity. It felt like the movie would never end. And the visions are very weird seeing dead characters be pivotal to the main characters real life
I'm really happy that you'll be covering this legendary fantasy/sci-fy francise too!
I just finished the movie and thought it was really good. Kept me invest the whole way through. Performances were great. I hope WB let's sequels continue.
I want to get the soundtrack.
Great breakdown mate. I just saw the 2021 movie, with no context going in & still loved it. After watching this, I appreciate it even more
Man seriously this movie is one of the best movie I've watched in awhile this shit is epic the visuals and sound design are EPIC AS HELL! anyone who haven't watched it you better! You won't regret it you'll be craving for more .
Are you including Brian's books as part of your facts and explanations? Maybe I've forgotten things from the core series (and there were a lot of things). Anyway, the background on the Saardukar seemed new to me; the stuff about how they start training at 6 years and half of them are dead by 11 or 12.
And, the stuff about the Baron Harkonen's kids and the icky revenge... was that in one of the last books,; Heritage or Chapterhouse? I know I read it, but I can't remember where. And, I did read parts of some of Brian's books, so I wonder if it's from there.
I really appreciate the effort you put into this video. It's so fun to be a fan.
Really hoping this gets at least 2 more parts but wishing it just becomes a new cinematic universe
Watching this in theaters was amazing! It felt like I was there on Arrakis as all of this went down. As someone who read the book, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and can’t wait for a part 2! There might have been some minor plot holes and the character development may not have been the greatest, but as a motion picture, I feel like it really captured the spirit of Dune and placed everything that I had envisioned in the books onto a screen perfectly!
The movie was interesting, but it really felt like half a movie. I feel like a sequel is in order. it seemed like this shoulda been a show instead of a movie.
It didnt feel like standalone movie like it or infinity war.
Great review but I had to stop it early since you were covering more material that has not been revealed yet in part one. Great commentary though!!!
I absolutely loved the original movie adaptation. This new version lived up to the hype and exceeded my expectations.
There's a fun editing mistake I noticed just recently, after Duncan was stabbed in the chest by the Sardaukar and then got back up to take out the sword and shouted... you could actually see that 2 of the Sardaukar weren't wearing helmets but then when the camera angle changed they were wearing helmets again
I loved this movie, can not wait for the next one!!!
Sorry
I've actually heard that the 'Dreams are messages from the deep" is spoken by Leto from the later books. I would totally watch Villenueve's version of that Leto!
The Duncan ghola appears in the next book, Dune Messiah, and it's where Paul begins to reject his leadership on the Golden Path. By Children of Dune, Leto and his twin sister both have similar abilities, and Leto chooses to be burdened with the Golden Path. God Emperor of Dune is a millennium later, when Leto's plan comes to fruition. But the Duncan ghola first appears in the second book, and other Duncan gholas appear from God Emperor forward.
This was a Great Video ! Great Easter Eggs! Even though I have ADD I will read those Books!!
I've been waiting to hear your thoughts. I feel the second movie could be one the greats considering all of the payoffs that could happen within it.
Thanks!
Thanks for the detailed explanation. Your videos are always the best! Because I have not read the books do you think they will make another movie or change it into a series on HBO. I was thinking since they didn't have plans for a sequel they might go this route to keep people interested in their streaming service. Thoughts???
When your in Australia and the movie isnt out yet, apparently it is saying its gonna release in november sometime, this looks pretty good tbh
yep... silly of them to delay it so long here hoping for a big cinema release post lockdown. Ive had this movie 'spoiled' about a hundred times already. If you can 'spoil' a story based on a 50+ yr old book anyway 😅
@@LNTH7283 haha true, its the same with venom, i couldnt go see that cause my nearest cinema is about an hr away and it was in lockdown and the best part was it wasnt even showing it, ive already been spoiled countless times, i just wish theyd release it early on lets say itunes since i got apple tv just until lockdown is over or something
That suuucks dude I'm sorry about that, I was in one of the countries that got to see this at the end of September
Dude that is sooooo late
Get hbo and a vpn and set it to the US
DUDE!! I can't wait for part 2. There were a bunch of things that I did NOT know and thanks to you (like always) your breakdown answered all my questions. Thank you (again) for breaking this movie down for us. I've said it before and I'm sure I'll say it again YOU 'EFFIN RULE!!! I CANNOT wait to hear your review for 'THE ETERNALS' tomorrow.
Thanks!
It was pretty good and was ready to see the 2nd part after it ended, but guess I have to wait. 👌
They will probably speak more on Dune Part 2 later this year.
A cinematic achievement, Needs to be a representation of humanity for the future. A masterclass in multiple forms of art...
I was always a Lynch version fan, this is now in my top 5 sci-fi movies of all time.
Nice!
@@emergencyawesome though I did notice one mistake they made. The kris knife that shadout mapes gives Jessica was un-sheathed and re-sheathed without drawing blood.
Lol when paul used dragon shouts at the end
@@djmaydraws3862 yeah, the Lynch movie had plenty of issues, but I grew up wit it. But like I said, so far this supplants it and I am looking forward to Part 2.
Can we have a video explaining the basics of Dune's universe? I know there's some back story about the war between humans and androids/AI that wasn't fully touched on in the film. Would love to know more about the history and state of the world/universe prior to the story beginning. LOVED the film 💕
If this movie doesn’t make money there won’t be a part 2. Better hope it does. This movie was ok. But needed to build up the next one. If there is a next one. Thanks for the video.
Dude, you are awesome! That was a great informative video. Thank you!
I was fascinated by the mouse, shown briefly among the sand dunes. I always associated it with the shadow in the second moon of Dune/Arrakis, but Villeneuve apparently intends to give us more than that. I'm thrilled.
The association with the moon is from Lynch's script, the "Mouse shaped shadow on the moon." In the book Paul takes the word for the actual mouse as his Freman name.
@@stephenclifford342 you know the book well! Free beer and cheeseburger for you if you ever wind up in Cavite, Philippines!
Charlie you are indeed correct that the Sod’akhar begin their brutal training at age six much like the Spartans of Earth. I saw this with a group of friends who had both read the book and those who never had. It was those of us who have read the novels who enjoyed the film the most. Those who had seen the David Lynch film as their only reference for the Dune universe were a bit confused, and the rest loved the cinematography, real effects, and music but were as lost as you’d expect! 😊
Can't wait to see part 2 and also Dune: The Sisterhood!
They're still making that Dune TV Show, but I don't have any updates about it.
@@emergencyawesome I'd love to see it eventually get to God Emperor of Dune, but they would have to skip over a lot of Leto II monologues.
Finally a version of the story that isn't a mess (like the Lynch film and the book). This shows that under all the bad storytelling of the book, there's a great story.... Also, poor Ronon Dex. Always forgotten when people talk about Jason Momoa.
I've heard about the influence DUNE had on Star Wars, but it really is that Star Wars ripped a lot of the concepts from DUNE for the prequels and sequeals. Both great in their own ways though!
Hi great video and I looooved the movie, tho the only thing I found confusing and you didnt touch uppon is the politic side and the relationships
Why are certain groups merged, why are they send for the Spice, why are some hostile, who is everyone and what are there roles??
What sucks is that we’ll likely won’t see a sequel for some time. I mean FOR SOMETIME
3-4 years. Beats avatar2 wait time
Thanks for breaking it all down...
It was epic. Ordered the book right after🥵
Awesome, enjoy the Dune Books!
The book is a must must read
For any Sci fi fan
Be careful. Dune is written quite terribly. The story is great, but the presentation is a mess. It jumps all around the place, it's unfocused and all the characters are all one-dimensional. Frank Herbert is a great worldbuilder, but a horrible storyteller.
@@BoroMirraCz
Lol 👀
That's not the case at all ..
But it isn't a super easy read
It's a big book w alot going on ..
Great review, I wasn't sure you knew the Dune universe. But I was mistaken.. you know the books... Great job
Watching this standalone with no knowledge of the original content... I thought it was fantastic
Same
Thanks goodness I found this breakdown! I watched this movie last week! And the CGI were great but I had no clue of what was going on!
There are two reasons I think this adaptation works so well.
One, the story itself is very much what is going on in Paul's head. David Lynch tried to convey this with whispering voice overs, to a limited success. Denis is showing us what is happening internally with with beautiful story telling in almost subtle ways. "Dune' really needed his style to be done properly.
Two, the technology is spot on. I was really interested in seeing how things like the irnathopter was going to be done, and Denis nailed it. I just wish he went a little more into the mentats. As Duncan's golen is trained as a mental, more of a joke, which backfires. Giving a military mind the abilities of a logic based thought process makes him a huge threat to his enemies.
It's been a while since I've read the Dune series, which book has that group trying to breed the worms on another world to wrestle the monopoly on spice that Arakis has?
I think that was house Corino (sp?), relatives of the emperor.
I loved it and cannot wait for the next part!! Awesome video as always!
Do you think Dune part 2 is already filmed? Don't they film movies together nowadays?
No, it has not been filmed yet.
@@emergencyawesome Nooo 😭 I was really hoping we wouldn't have to wait too long for a sequel!
