My wife and I watch DUNE: PART ONE for the FIRST time || Movie Reaction 

Maybe the movie should have made that clear

@@phoenixmagi2 Yeah, they should have.

@@joepegel considering that Paul doesn’t figure that out himself until Part 2, I think it is more compelling storytelling to let the audience figure it out when Paul does and not beforehand

Well, they'll find that out in Part 2. Paul says he sees possible futures all at once, but he gets to pick which one he wants to come true by unfolding events.

I think they spelled it out well with the Jamis scenes. Paul is seeing visions of this man, teaching him Fremen culture, showing him the ways of the desert life, and imparting sage wisdom on him, someone who was certainly going to be his mentor, and lifelong friend. Then when he finally meets him, he ends up killing him. There’s a couple other examples, like Paul seeing Duncan amongst the Fremen, even though he had already died, the significance of the cryssknife always changing. One moment it’s being gifted to him, another time, he’s being stabbed with it. But I do agree that the movie could’ve improved on this aspect a bit. It does improve in the next movie where you see some of the events & imagery he foresaw in the first movie, play out much differently

Deeply appreciated- I called four AMCs to find one and could NOT

​@BichaeldeAngelo I think you can get one online.

you're not always in the desert per say or on arrakis it you don't need to be so they serve a great purpose elsewhere

perfect way to explain!

It's just a matter of seeing an arms race in action. Shields have been so effective and in use for so long, that pretty much everyone now knows how to find their flaws and bypass the protection they give. Because of shields, bullets were abandoned and a fighting style was developed specifically to use slow movements very precisely to cut through them. In nature, with plants and all types of insects, this arms race can evolve very fast and adaptations are made continuously to outdo the other.

couldnt agree more

Exactly. The shield makes artillery and high-speed projectiles outdated, which in turn forces armies to train their soldiers better, and that essentially turns infantry warfare undesirable because while it's expensive to produce ammunition and equipment, it takes time to train good soldiers; we see that one Atreides soldier is worth a dozen Harkonnens, and one Sardaukar is worth a dozen Atreides (more or less). If you lose your manpower, you can't instantly replace it like you would a weapon. So you gotta think twice before putting your men out there.

Good to know

I wonder how much they paid the sandworms, lol.

@@TimothyMills77 No sandworms were harmed in the making of this movie.

@@PhilBagels Lol

lmao the "spacing guild expensive" comment is genius

I love Holden and Jen, but yeah, they talk too much when watching stuff.

Creatures running up and down the theater aisles while yelling are not to be confused with children. They are demons. Holden likes children, but abhors demonic spawn.

Probably those kids in the theater were not his own, and probably because those kids in the theater were much older to the point that they would make noises just because they can, and it is annoying indeed.

​@@TimothyMills77 It's a reaction channel?

@@josechan2146 Fr lol there's a difference between a reaction channel talking during a reaction and kids making noise in a theater lmao

Except for maybe the prescience?

@@justinseiyanyx6092 right, except for the prescience (though that is largely influenced by spice consumption), and especially Paul’s prescience, which is a result of the BG breeding program. Things get more super natural as time goes on, but it all feels very grounded and explained in the world building.

They don't explain this in either film, so thanks for bringing attention to this. It helps you understand more of the fighting strategies going forward

@@justinseiyanyx6092 it's described as prescience but it's actually just computing and calculating everything that will happen, based on the extra knowledge from the past

@@bradencarson1572 yeah the movies really don’t expand on the rules of tech or power too often. In a way I kind of like this because it minimizes exposition and seems more natural. However I also totally get that people who haven’t read the books might get a little lost with questions about the details. That being said, the universe and story adheres very well to its own rules, even if attention isn’t being called directly to it. Personally, I love these two movies. As a book fan, I am beyond pleased. I find the movies work best if you have the background knowledge from the books to fill in some of the gaps.

Also, Paul killing Jamis was Paul learning the way of the desert, so in a way Jamis DID teach him.

yea like piflik said, it was more open to interpretation. the dream didn't happen exactly as he saw it but it did happen. He "learned the way of the desert" from jamis.

And Jamis is still leading him into the desert.

Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.

Not really a rumor considering he straight up said he started lmao.

If I ever make a film, I definitely want him doing some music for it.

Worked out for Ludwig Göransson since he won the Oscar for Oppenheimer. Deservedly, his work has been so good. The Mandalorian theme still gets stuck in my head out of nowhere.

Watch the original. Maybe for some dated but really good. Actors you may recognize.

@EddieLopez711 the guy that played Paul in the original movie, played Lucy's dad in the live action Fallout series.

Wait till they see part 2, lol.

But the movie always had the only Oscar that really matters. Isaac.

@@mauz4588 that's funny, lol.

@@mauz4588 badm tsss ! funny

​@@mauz4588 Yes, one of the best actors ever I'm not saying just because he has my name as his surname

Even crazier is they held the same approach for Part 3 as far as I know. With the trajectory they're on they should be safe to keep making them after 3 but as I understand the source material gets.... weird?

@@intense79nickeven the first book has “weird” aspects that were left out. We didn’t get any spice orgies sooooo. Yeah the whole universe was a huge inspiration to so many sci if books and universes because of this. Lots of crazy places to pull ideas and build them into something else or get new thoughts from really diving into this really different universe Edit. Check out corridor crew to see some cool breakdowns of the vfx

@@intense79nick Yeah, book 4 and onward get quite nutters. I could see the third one "Children of Dune" working just as well on screen, but it would easily require 2 additional movies, which is why I think many are ruling it out because it all depends on what Denis Villeneuve is willing to do. So far, it seems he's only expressed interest in the 3 movies.

That's a pretty universal thing. I saw that change in my brother in law, when they had their kids. :) Sadly, I can't have kids... but... instead I get stupidly emotional over our guinea pigs or my nephew and niece (wonderful kids, despite not really being kids anymore). :D

I'd say it can hit hard from either perspective. There's a lot of parents out there who unfairly lay their expectations onto their kids, which can be quite suffocating. It's always wonderful seeing a parent like Duke Leto who can accept someone as they come. Too often, parents think of their kids as an extension of themselves rather than seeing an individual with their own values and dreams.

Imo, children are blessings, and we should be thanking God that we have children and that they help us be who we'd want them to be.

I've only seen this once and recently at that, but I still think the mini-series is better up to this point. Everyone always compares only to the Lynch 80's movie, but the mini-series is way better.

Yeah, they waited to see how well Dune part 1 did.

From what I gathered from the books, the Bene Gesserit have a sort of ancestral memory, where they can draw on the strength of will and knowledge of all their female ancestors. However, their male ancestors are all blocked off. Their pursuit of the Kwisatz Haderach is an attempt at creating a male Bene Gesserit, who has access not only to his female ancestors, but the males as well. They believe that, given the right training and preparation, the Kwisatz Haderach would have all the powers of a full Bene Gesserit, Mentat (sort of human supercomputers), and Guild Navigator (able to guide ships through "hyperspace" with the spice) all in one. The Bene Gesserit are able to control their bodies to a superhuman degree, including consciously influencing the gender of their children, and they instituted a 10,000 year breeding program. However, Jessica gave birth to a son, Paul, out of genuine love for Duke Leto, and thus the power of the Kwisatz Haderach appeared one generation too early. The full abilities appeared imperfectly in Paul, but they were still more than enough for him to easily overthrow House Corrino, who had ruled the Empire for 10,000 years. Paul taught Bene Gesserit fighting to the Fremen, turning them into unparalleled warriors, and used those armies to conquer worlds that resisted. However, because the Kwisatz Haderach appeared one generation early, Paul's prescience was imperfect. He could see enough of the future to know that a catastrophe was coming that would end the human race, but he wasn't skilled enough to see the path that would avoid it. It wouldn't be until Paul and Chani's son was born that the true power of the Kwisatz Haderach would be realized, and that path could be seen and taken.

@@CountryMusicMann that's so cool. Thanks for explaining. This lore fascinated me more than my peers who watched it with me and I would love to see the holy war which started at the very end of the second movie and was also teased in Paul's vision.

Paul and chani didnt have a kid. Paul had a kid with the emperor's daughter.​@@CountryMusicMann

@@leeking6939 Not according to the wiki. That attributes Leto II as being the son of Paul and Chani. Maybe they changed that in the movie, but I missed it in theaters, so I'm avoiding it as much as I can until it comes out on DVD.

Lisan al gaib!

I remember being confused when I first watched Dune Part 1, so I went to RU-vid and watched a lot of videos on the movie and the books, so now I completely understand Dune and I'm excited for Dune Messiah.

Hopefully, they don't chat as much during part 2 unless they're asking one another questions.

Hopefully, they don't chat as much during part 2 unless one of them gets confused and needs to ask a question.

Load of rubbish, ofcourse its comparable, the force was just made alot stronger
