Gave me chills.. and this is the fourth time watching it 😅

!!!

🔥

I might go one further and claim Dune Part Two will be the GREATEST movie in the HISTORY of all cinema.

@@costco_pizza That's gonna be hard to say 😅

@@costco_pizza someone is overhyping xd It looks cool, but it doesnt have to be anything close to anything 'greatest' to please everyone watching it. Keep your expectations at bay m8

The book gives almost none of Rabban so he really is underrated lol

Preach!

Bautista loves Denis so much he said he would work for him for free. Between this and Blade Runner 2049, Denis seems to bring out the best in him.

That scene where he spits out "and give it to that DUKE!" was shocking to me, ngl

John wick would love to have a word with you

I was pretty well convinced after Arrival which like Dune was considered unfilmable for years.

@@daaajester1 perhaps Storm means sci fi epics or epics on a grande scale. John Wick is a bit more grounded story wise and would consider it an epic but not like on a LOTR level. John Wick is perfect the way it is, not a knock on the films. Both Dune and JW is a breathe of fresh air in a Industry that definitely deserved to lose half a trillion dollars.

@@treytilley333 absolutely what I meant. 💯 Don’t get me wrong, John wick was awesome but I meant epic grand scale of movies they don’t make anymore.

@@treytilley333 I view wick more as epic in terms of cinematography, locations, and stunt coordination. In those categories it is masterclass. Its obviously not scaled as large as lotr.

That would be the Golden Path ... of movies .. 😆

OMG I LOVE children of Dune!! It was my first time seeing James McAvoy act and I have been a die hard fan of his ever since

@@TheOnlyHawkeye666 same .. first time I saw him in anything.

Ooh yes I’d love to see the audience squirm uncomfortably at a certain adult-child lol

They are.

I don't see it as "going out on a limb" but I am telling everybody that Austin Butler may just end up stealing the movie. He is a really talented young actor and the PERFECT choice to play Feyd...Wow, Nov 3, 2023 is going to be a painful wait lol!

That. Would be ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!

EXACTLY. It seems everyone loves Dune for its “hero’s journey” story, but it’s really a warning AGAINST heroes! Wondering how everyone will feel about that.

@@stephaniesanderson7970 Absolutely. Herbert talked about it being a warning against charismatic leaders. He was also worried people would only read the first book and misunderstand his criticism of the Hero.

Yeah . A lot of people misunderstand it cuz they only read the first book . Paul was not a hero

I mean, in one way it is a savior story. Depends on how much you are revealing and restricting the frame of reference across space and time. Paul's definitely a hero in the beginning. But, hero with power, easily turns into villainy. The claim about "white savior" is just idiotic. Herbert wanted to explore the corruption of charismatic leaders, and the effect of Monopolies and oppression.

@@catherinesanchez1185 It's really subtle but part one did good jobs of planting seeds about the subversion of the white savior trope. Jessica: They see the signs Paul they see what they've been told to see.

man, I hope you like sandworms then

Lord of the Rings takes a a very huge, omnescient view of Middle Earth. It is epic to have a God's eye view of a complete world, and see all moving parts and to see what it takes to accomplish monumental goals. Dune has a universe of epic scope (the most Epic imo, multiple planets and such), but chooses to hyper-focus on the one thing/peoples who controls the absolute functioning of humanity, the spice. It is the logistical, economic, philosophical, violent exploration of everything this spice touches and the ones who truely control it. I love me some LoTRs, but going hyper-detailed into the effects one thing has on the universe is beyond epic to me.

Essentially, Dune did for the Sci-Fi genre what LoTR did for the Fantasy genre. Completely revolutionized it, and its effects still be seen on those genres today.

I see your point but I personally think leaving it at dune messiah also works, and that is more realistic too

I think Villeneuve did a good job of subtly hinting at the subversion of the trope. Lynch's Dune just dropped the subversion entirely and made Paul an actual messiah.

If you do Children, you have to do God Emperor. Otherwise you end up with the triumphant ending where Leto II becomes this unstoppable force, but none of the consequences of his 3,500 year tyrannical rule over the empire, brutally repressing all of humanity in the name of the Golden Path.

@@FrenchCelt I kind of thought the fact that Paul's cold feet in NOT taking the "Golden" Path - and effectively condemning his son to do the dirty deed instead, thereby sacrificing his humanity over thousands of years of atonement for the sins of the father - is the perfect cap to Paul's tragic arc. Since I can't imagine how anyone could make a commercial film out of the oh-so-philosophical "God Emperor", I imagined the filmmaker would simply end his adaptation of "Children" by showing a vision (which would have been both Pauls's and Leto II's) of the horrific future that awaited the latter during the lead-up to the events of "God Emperor" as a result of Paul's effective lack of courage in following through on the only survival path for humanity...

They are 100% gonna do the jihad. This is what it’s all building towards.

I kinda hope Dune part 3 is R-rated. It needs to open with, and at least the first 1/3rd have to be the hellish depiction of the Jihad. M(B)illions burning and bleeding in front of our eyes, at the hands of the ones we'll be rooting for in part 2. It'll be a major moral awakening for the audience.

You mean the second book, right ? Dune Messiah is the second book and includes what Paul has been fearing from the start: Being trapped in his premonitions, not daring to walk the Golden Path. Starting the Fremen Jihad without being able to stop it.

It looks like her role may emphasize Irulan's role as historian at the beginning of each chapter to expand her on-screen time.

@@ArthurSB73 I think you’re right! Looks exciting

It won't have any impact... the first part was emasculated and so will this part be.

@@JAIstarkillerkid No it wasnt, it was fine

@@worlddd7777 Low standards.

@@JAIstarkillerkid Or maybe, simply different point of view. I have read entire Dune story, and i wanted to see what that world looks like on big screen. It was exactly as i imagined it, and every shot, every scene i have recognized for what it meant and what represents, so maybe im little bit bias. Anyways, give Dune a chance, it is very complex story with no good or bad guys, and no hero to save the day. U have to admit, it is still refreshing to see something like this next to horrible, horrible MCU movies

The jihad is about to hit different man😂

Honestly, the "I was a friend of Jamis" scene from the Dune (2021) was actually an improvement over the book, which is a rare achievement indeed. "Jamis taught me that when you kill... you pay for it. I wish I'd known Jamis better." is certainly poignant enough, but Paul is participating in the ritual and reflecting on how he doesn't like killing. The film interspersing spice visions where Jamis is *literally* Paul's companion and teacher for years and years means that now Paul isn't just participating in a ritual, he is genuinely mourning the loss of a dear friend. It's such a wonderful touch.

"Lemme add some context for my friends to further enhance their appreciation for this film real quick" Friend: "Thanks Hector! I appreciate this film more now."

Because it isn't lazy and pedestrian... for a movie so BIG these are actually shockingly small.

@@JAIstarkillerkid This wasnt lazy either, try to make movie like that yrself

@@worlddd7777 Oh, in terms of film, it was totally lazy... for one thing the designs are boring as Hell. So is the shot framing. This is the first time I've ever sat in a theatre (IMAX and 3D even) and thought, yeah, you totally don't need to see this in the theatre, people watching at home on HBO MAX are missing NOTHING.

@@JAIstarkillerkid that is a mental take. Just because the design used brutalist architecture it isn’t immediately boring

@@galador8089 From my perspective it is. I'm just bothered by the extreme wasted opportunity of these films and the bizarre fact that people are acting as if something special is happening. Probably the same people who thought this was a terrible season of THE MANDALORIAN (it wasn't)... speaking of which, in a world that has STAR WARS (on TV for God's sake) how is anyone impressed by this middling effort of creativity? My mind is just boggled.

@@JAIstarkillerkid That's true of most book adaptions. I've read books and the movie comes out and it doesn't compare at all. I know the feeling. Even Stephen King hates the adaptation of The Shining but it's considered great by most people.

@@Nay-kp6uu Most, but not all.... WATERSHIP DOWN is fabulous as a novel and movie (the original 1978 movie, not the BBC/Netflix show, which sucks.) I can point to almost every scene in DUNE and show how it is just WRONG. There should have been more emphasis placed on the Sardaukar and the significance of winning over the Fremen... the whole adaptation just misses all the dramatic points.

@@JAIstarkillerkid I'm just saying not all movie adaptations need to be completely faithful since most of the general audience hasn't read whatever source material it's based on. They're not made for the book readers, they're made for movie goers. Jurassic Park is completely different from the book but it is a classic movie. Blade Runner is a very loose adaptation as well from the literature.

@@Nay-kp6uu How faithful a film needs to (or should) be depends on what you want to achieve. I sat there thinking the whole time that nobody who hasn't read the book is going to know why this is happening or what this means... it makes me wonder how anyone who doesn't know the book was able to digest it. But the point about knowing the book and not accepting the film is this adaptation doesn't even approach achieving fulfillment of its artistic potential... in a world of modern cinema... especially one that has given us STAR WARS... I can't even comprehend why anyone is at all impressed by these films. The drama is weak. The atmosphere is weak. The scripting is watered down. The storytelling is abrupt. It's all wasted potential. I didn't even get the sense that it was grand. I saw it in IMAX and 3D and all I could think was that you would lose NOTHING by watching this on TV. The greatest strength of the prose of DUNE is its ability to evoke atmosphere and feelings, a presence of place... I got NO feelings from this film. And, it's not being different that is the problem as much as just getting the idea behind everything wrong is. The differences between the novel and film of JURASSIC PARK are minimal but also don't matter as much simply because the "essence" is still there. The movie also happens to be better than the book, which helps. JAWS takes a terrible novel and transforms it into one of the great American films. That's not happening here.

@@JAIstarkillerkid I respect your opinion bro. As someone who hasn't read the book I'm not on your level. My first experience with Dune was in 8th grade, 1999. My science teacher showed us the David Lynch version. I had no idea what was going on and couldn't comprehend anything. He skipped the part where the Baron kills the guy cause he didn't want us to see that, then flys around. since then I always had a morbid curiosity about what was so bad. I've watched the original and the recut of that I think I like it cause of nostalgia and I appreciate Lynch's effort even if it's bizarre. He also had us read Ender's Game which I couldn't get into.

Patreon now, we're working on getting it to RU-vid but we don't know when that will happen!

@@hectorminator awesome, thanks Hector!

Hopefully there's a series since Dune is huge & I don't have time to read everything unless I was a kid or retired.
