There were so many changes from the books but all of them were the correct ones. We love to see an adaptation being respected and simultaneously improved
@@wolfrebel4196I could see that, it would be interesting. But a more obvious role for Tilda Swinton would have been Gaius Helen Mohiam. Her weird/creepy vibe would be perfect BG.
When I actually saw this film and people laughed at the bit where bardem said paul's humility only fulfilled the prophecy, I couldn't help but think if they were thinking of the bit in life of brian where he denies he's the messiah but with one of them saying "only the true messiah would deny his divinity."
Genuinely think Bardem's transition from 'cunning leader looking to prop Paul up to further his own agenda' to 'grandmaster champion drinker of the Lisan Al-Gaib Kool-Aid' was the best part of an already impressive film. Really sells the idea that fanatisism has a grounded trajectory, rather than some people just being soft in the head. Great adaptation!
Yep. The most tone-deaf interpretation of Dune is that Paul is a hero messiah, but it is still too simple to think that Paul is a villain: the real problem is not the leader but the followers.
@@Daneelro I literally just binged back-to-back The Vow and Love Has Won docs on Max and my head is full of this. It is amazing how quickly these "messiah" types become scary and harassing to their followers and everything else they touch.
@@akirebara They wouldn't if their followers didn't give them that power. And Dune makes an even more sobering point: even in the best-case scenario, if the people's chosen messiah starts with good intentions and has extreme superpowers (seeing all possible futures), he won't be able to change the path determined by the collective stupidity and bad instincts of his followers, who will go forth and murder infidels in his name whatever he intended.
@@Daneelro He actively tells them to kill. That's their entire power and source of fear for his (Pauls) opponents - hence the scene with fanatic vs Rabban. At some point it's a game who inflicts worse macabre atrocity. But yes, it all works only if there are bitter people on the fremens side, and if that bitterness ready to sip into religion.
I loved how Faded Rautha or whatever his name was got so pumped when Paul walked in the room flaunting his gigantic balls. He looked like he had a man-crush on him, and then he smiles when Paul tells him "May thy knife chip and shatter", like he has this expression that just says "Damn dude....this guy is SO COOL"
Paul's mother was supposed to have a girl instead of Paul. That girl was supposed to wed Fade and unite the two houses. But Lady Jessica wanted to give the Duke a son. The houses were also already joined since Lady Jessica is the Barron's daughter.
I think it's more like he becomes everyone's echo chamber, they love him because he gives them an illusion of being seen and understood. It is a great lesson in campaigning.
I love how it was a huge project to travel in space and you needed the spacing guild etc but in part 2 all the houses gets to Arrakis in like 2 hours when Harkonnen sends them a DM.
In the books, the guild wanted a showdown, so they dropped travel costs that day, so all the houses, and their armies could watch it all go down. They want Paul to fail because he could damn them all by destroying the spice
Haven't seen part 2 yet but my question for the series is, if spice is required for interstellar travel, then how did the planet get found without interstellar travel?
@@spaghettithetentac1163 Spice is for the human navigation. It's not fuel for travel. Computers did safe navigation before spice, so humans spread out to the many planets before spice discovery. Humans then went to war with rogue AI, and, on winning, banned computers. Humans then took spice in order to enhance their human abilities to replace computer functions. One of those functions is the guild's safe space navigation. Without spice and without computers they could still travel, but not without crazy high mortality rates or getting lost. They can still travel without computers, or spice but not safely.
@@politereminder6284 Thats fair, but I’m thinking about the time it took for them to travel. They had to rally their armies, have the spacing guild come get them, travel to Arrakis just to arrive shortly after the battle the very same day they got the message from Harkonnen?
Step One: Paul does thing. Step Two: Stilgar calls Paul the messiah for doing thing. Step Three: Chani scowls at Stilgar for calling Paul the messiah. Repeat until end of movie.
@@sawtooth808don't forget Nestle too Edit: I even heard the rumour Spritzer (the mineral water brand from Malaysia) was taken from the water source of Chinese cemetery in Taiping 😅😅😅
"She [Chani] has gone from staring off into the distance like a perfume commercial, to staring at Paul like 'Are you serious with this sh*t?'" Character development: we love to see it. 👍
That’s because dream girls rarely just stare out into nothing like they’re selling perfume. In reality dream girls have attitude and will call out their partners when they cross the line.
YOUR EDITING SKILLS ARE UNSURPASSED !! watched this vid twice. Renting this on youtube later tonight and searching reviews ... this is masterful. Excellent humor and excellent presentation. The team that worked on this was freestyling, prob wrapped up the 1st meeting in ten minutes would have loved to witness without contributing (I couldn't hang with writing like this !) well done. thumbs up.
Thos ropes have hooks on the end which they stick between the worm's plates. They steer it like a horse. When they want to get off, they make it roll to one side until they are close enough to jump to the ground
This has to be the best one, so many troupes from all your previous videos. Crew, brilliant Honest Trailer👍👍 Now please say: “my deep voice brings all the boys to the yard, and mine is like, deeper than yaaaars”
Yeah, that one was a super super inside joke that probably only .001% of the viewers ever caught. I would have totally missed it had I not made dabs from big bags of trimming before... and smoked it in dabs bong that looked a whole lot like the blue koolaid chalice.
Ahhhh, DAB . . . I heard 'rippin the DAD, straight from the chalice,' and thought HT was onto some cutting edge lingo, like a bong water is Father in the way Kombucha SCOBY is Mother.

@@Tonyhouse1168 in another universe Denis Villeneuve grow up with a different set of nerdy books and that timeline was blessed with the best possible adaptations of the best sci-fi comedy ever written
When you were making the joke about how the AAAAAaaaaaAAAA song makes anything sound epic, I was just waiting for you to put the dumb and dumber diarrhea scene in there. You disappoint me, epic voice guy.
On the other hand, I watched a video with someone's cat, and the video maker gave that song lyrics. Specifically, "Coooo-oooooooooome get your diiiiii-nerrrrrr!" I can't unhear it.
