I can’t imagine what Denis Villeneuve will do after his Dune movies. His imagination has no limits. He truly has become one of my all time favorite film directors!
The imagination come from Frank Herbert and watching David Lynch masterpiece. Blade Runner 2049 was not a patch on the original. Ridley Scott, a proper visionary. Villeneuve is making sequels. I am waiting for his one movie to be remembered, it will come but it needs to be a world he creates.
@@Harlock2day Watch more films from Villeneuve before talking out of nowhere. The only sequel he directed was BR49 and it was closer to the source material than the Ridley Scott film.
@@neillewis2577 I think Targuard meant that the source material is a novel, "Do androids dream of electric sheep"? BR2049 is a solid piece by itself, but obviously it relies heavily on it's predecessor in style. I really like them both.
@@Lurch685 I was stunned by her in Reminiscence, her role was so tragic but so beautiful, I really want to trade my life to save her at the end of that movie. Then idiots on the internet rated that movie so low, made me deleted all the social media stuff, the world is toxic.
A Dune fan for over 40 years, I really enjoyed this new movie. But while I thought Ferguson generally did a solid job as Jessica, I was put off by all her fretting and crying, two things that Bene Gesserit-trained Lady Jessica would almost never do.
As a teenager in the late 90's she used to be in a Swedish soap opera and she was the only reason I'd occasionally watch it lol. If you search Rebecca Ferguson Nya Tider you'll find pictures.
Sadly can't watch it in theatre due to lockdown. So I've ordered a projector. Gonna project it to be at least 70 inches wide, use my Bose headphones for sound, and of course have a bowl popcorn ready. It ain't the real deal, but at least it will be something.
I agree, I was most impressed with her performance as well. Though I think everyone was good. I didn’t see a weak link really. Leit Keynes was kinda so so, but that probably because they didn’t spend much time with that character.
The energy that the entire cast and Denis have with each other in EVERY interview and on every red carpet is a joy to see. An experience like this really ties you together. I sincerely hope they will return for part two, they seem like a family.
@@eshowoman true but he had the same chemistry with Amy Adams and they barely did promotion together because he was recording Blade Runner, so I believe it's in the Director's personality as well.
as someone who never read the books. I was in shock to see such an amazing characther she was so strong and she dared to put his son on danger many times to see him grow. Damn best characther in the movie personally
@@v44n7 She had no agency and they casted a adult man on purpose so it wouldn't look sexist for him to have to protect his mother (it would look sexist if they casted an actual 14 year old boy protecting his mother). He told her when to drink water and that she must do the desert walk to avoid sandworms. He drove the ornithroper and saved her by telling the bad guy to remove her gag. He also fought a duel in her place. It's a common thing in patrarchial films where teenage boys have more agency than full grown adult women (Power of the Dog for example). I didn't read the books either but I know this is not a female character with human dignity.
She had no agency and needed her child to save her on more than one occasion. Also, she cries like a 5 year old most of the film, and none of the men around her emote. She was by far the most annoying character I've ever seen on film.
I wanted to get rid of her myself by the end of this train wreck of a film. If you can't show that it's ok for men to emote, then at least don't show the only main woman being the only one to throw tantrums like a 5 year old. It's insulting to anyone with human dignity.
I love Denis, he’s a genius filmmaker and everyone of his movies have been incredible, but he never comes off as pretentious in interviews. He’s just a guy that loves film and making films.
Genius Ahahahahahahabahahahahahahahahahahah Ahahahahahahabahahahahahahahahahahah first LEARNING then DISCERN , the meaning of the word made fleshed LOLOL ZZZZZZZZOMBIESZZZZZZZZZZZZZ world aka zombies apocalypse.
I am a bit concerned about the 'voices of heritage' comment. Heritage can be something to be proud of, or take the best bits from - rather than feel oppressed by or ashamed of.
@@kipo1456 She's been accusing his books of treating women in a bad light as it was written in the sixties. She also mentioned in the same interview that she hasn't actually read any of the books so.....yeah.
@@vanzahn Strange, considering how easily Jessica takes down Stilgar in the book (and the Fremen were much better fighters than even the Sardaukar, who were supposedly the best). In other words, she's strong as hell. But of course, Rebecca wouldn't know that, since she didn't bother reading the book.
He is my favorite director. Him and David Lynch. They're both iconic. They inspire me to be a filmmaker. I was a kid when I grew up dreaming to be like them and when I did get older, I started doing films and thankfully did win with this one! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSC4ptU79-8.html
@@thijsgeurts5003 believe it should only be 2 for the first book and then another for dune messiah, then that should finish Paul’s arc in the dune universe
@@gored_bamer what I like about the film is that it stays true to the book. often they make a film based on a book and they do things differently and you're thinking: " noo! it wasn't like that in the book!" and you wonder why they changed the story. why not just follow the book?
I love Rebecca Ferguson. She's beautiful, intelligent, and most important of all, her enthusiasm for being The Lady Jessica in this series, is infectious. I thought she was perfect in Dr. Sleep, and she's going to be a great Lady Jessica. She understands character trajectory, and momentary choices that affect the overall outcome, which is most important to this film.
I’m glad Rebecca Ferguson is getting her due recognition. I remember seeing interviews for Mission Impossible where she was kinda treated as the nth wheel of the group, cuz she wasn’t as famous or with as big a fanbase etc. but she’s a dedicated actress, and so far its pretty clear she never shows up phoning it in. She’s very casual about it too, in a humble way.
I love how she recognizes that by having Paul, Lady Jessica wreaks havoc on the universe. It's a very important point, a subtle counter-point to the trap of thinking this is a white saviour story. It's not. It's the opposite.
Not by having him, but by teaching him all that she knew and by giving him all this power (despite of the fact that it was forbidden to do it since she had a son and not a daughter).
@@annab9994 :) I'm pretty sure "having him" is a prerequsite for teaching him and giving him anything, but yes, her position in life and the choice to have a boy created the biggest issue in the universe, and it was her love for the duke that was the reason. This is a story where love almost causes the downfall of the entire human universe. Ouch.
@@annab9994 Well, if we go by the book, Jessica's main mistake was to conceive Paul as a boy rather than a girl, messing up the Bene Gesserit plans and let their planned super-human (the Kwisatz Haderach) be born early & unready. But I like that the film emphasized the importance of Jessica's teachings.
A counterpoint to the whole "white savior" thing is that paul isn't a savior. If the people making these claims watched the film or read the book they'd know it. But I digress.
This movie was AMAZING. The sound design is the best sound design I have ever heard in any more ever. Please owe it to yourself to watch this in cinemas, it is a true experience visually and audibly. Hans Zimmer might have done his best soundwork, and the movie itself is breathtaking.
@@BJKD24 I know the books very well and I did bring a female friend who knew nothing about Dune, we loved the film. She noticed that some things were left out of the film but she enjoyed it anyway. So yeah go for it!
The first time I saw Rebecca act, I thought she looked exactly like how Jessica was described in the books. When I saw she got the part, any worry about the movie melted away.
Watched DUNE in the cinema last Friday night together with my wife and kids (15 and 12). We all loved the movie and can't wait to see part 2 come out. This movie is an EPIC experience that needs to be watched in the cinema!
@@speedisoftheessence You're terribly mistaken. One of the dislikes was actually from the slavemaster Feyd had bumped off, just before Feyd got to him.
Lady Jessica is such a role to play. She created the only resolution to the deadly feud between House Harkonnen and House Atreides possible by giving birth to a boy - hoping he would be the Kwizatz Haderach. In so doing, she unleashed a war that would run through the galaxy: her final look at Paul in the last shot of the movie shows her grasp of the magnitude of consequence her decisions have made. She goes from relief at their living in 'safety' in the desert to seeing Paul as the Unknown in her stare. It is a masterful touch and I admire Rebecca Ferguson's depiction.
And here we clearly see Rebecca´s reaction and her true feelings to the rumors that she thought Dune was Sexist in its essence. It simply came from a lack of understanding what Dune really is about, and she is not afraid to admit this. Another reason to think twice when one reads something.
@@aybekaya I've only ever seen the '84 movie and read wiki articles on certain aspects of the story, but that was enough to see that this narrative is far beyond most prior established tropes. Its a shame its taken humanity so long to mature and be able to accept these complicated and paradoxical ideals. Even Paul's visions in the tent hint towards his fate in this movie, and I'm sure a lot of people overlooked that scene's meaning. I mean, we literally got the plot of most of the story there.
There's something really special in good actors, something captivating, they're otherworldly to me. Rebecca was so good in this movie, I recognized myself in times when I was really desperate and sad and then I thought, my God she's acting. It was so real, how she expressed all the emotions.
I don't remember celebrating an Artist from Quebec as much as Denis since Celine Dion. Tellement fière de son progrès et que malgré l'ampleur de ses projets, Denis n'a jamais oublié son identité d'artiste.
Why? She had to have the cast explain the book to her like a child and then went on to complain about feminism issues because she had no concept of how highly regarded Jessica or women were in the books. Good actress but no idea what dune was about
@@yeahnowhatever4164she is the perfect casting if I base my opinion on her look, her prior performances, and her general aura/personality. If what you are saying is true, then sure, her lack of understanding of (or disdain for) the source material may show through in the performance, I haven’t seen the movie.
Her performance in the movie is spectacular, best performance in the movie, and everybody in the cast is good. Definitely deserves a nomination for best supporting actress.
"Can I ride a sandworm?" And Denis said EXACTLY what any fanboy of the books said in their head right at the same time, "Actually, you do." Awesome sauce!!!
It totally sucks that they didn't let him make both parts at the same time. We'd have them both by next summer. Now we'll have to wait 3 years minimum. Typical Hollywood... Someone should have locked in Denis and everyone for 5 Dune films. Covering the first 2 books and the wars in between. Or at least a super high budget series.
this may be a good thing, provided that part 2 will be made. There is a time jump in the novel that may be conveyed more believably after all actors have aged 3-4 years.
@@icksbocks it didn't seem to be a problem when they showed Paul's visions of the future in the trailer. It's a little obvious CGI but nothing that can't be overlooked. (the blue in blue eyes and a bigger body).
I watched it last night. I have read all six books twice. I think he did a wonderful job. I hope he gets to make more Dune movies, I really hope he does.
I cannot agree more. Meanwhile, Zendaya in this film is like a fly in the ointment, or in other words, the wrong way to do a character. Zendaya should not be given more than 5 seconds of screen time.
‘Dune: Part Two’ Director Denis Villeneuve Says Zendaya’s Chani Becomes Film’s Main Character, Admits To Changing Frank Herbert’s Novel Because He Didn’t Think It Was “Proper” 🤔
GO SEE THIS IN THE CINEMA! it's phenomenal and perfectly tailored for the big screen but incomplete without a part two, and that's only gonna happen if it does well in the cinemas
Denis was a genius, Hans Zimmer's score was fantastic and all the cast served amazing performance (especially Rebecca). I've watch it for more than 2 times now and still get amazed, can't wait for part 2!
part two has been given the green light already it has done so well on its first day that part 2 is definite. a bit of obvious advice is don't watch the trailers and the interviews until you have seen the film.
Paul Atreides finding his own freedom and solace? yup good luck with that ...ooh boy if they make it to book 4 its gonna be a wild wild ride for those Atreides
