What do you rate this iteration of Dune? As much as I love this movie I can’t bring myself to give it an A with sections like the dinner scene, and a proper Jessica/yueh conversation where they talk about wanna and yueh tries to trick Jessica, also the limited exposure to the residents of giedi prime. I think I would have to give it an 87.5! P.s. Also they needed a little more of a history lesson in the beginning we learned a fair bit about the landsraad and the bene gesserit, but little to nothing about the mentats, the butlarian jihad, house corrin, and not enough explanation on the correlation between melange the spacing guild and their reliance on it!

My brothers were also reading it, and we sat in the living room together reading for hours. It was a thrilling experience because it's a thrilling story. Dune was published in 1965. Frank Herbert spent six years writing it. It's one of the best science fiction novels of all time.

It plays with suspense in a really interesting way, by revealing very explicit details long ahead of time, but without a lot of the connective tissue that lets it click immediately. You get to read Jamis' funeral dirge at least 100 pages before you find out who he even is, Irulan gets thorough characterization despite having only 2 lines of her own in the book, and in later books like Children of Dune you get reveals like the identity of Hark al-Ada near the end while getting to know both sides of him very thoroughly throughout. There's a great deliberateness to everything that it hardly ever draws attention to, and it makes everything all that much more impressive.

What's crazy is how Herbert so masterfully set up every thread that leads to the later books. For example, without Yueh, there is no God-Emperor Leto II. But without the Baron, there is no Yueh, and without the Bene Gesserit, there is no Baron. So you can follow Herbert's history all the way back to millenia before the story even starts, and it's a clear throughline of cause and effect, with no glaring plot threads that I can think of (at least up through God-Emperor, after that it gets hinky).

I feel like Leto and Jessica are one the deepest, most tragic love stories you could ever read. It's not about two people who sacrificed everything for their love, but rather of two people who sacrificed their love for the greater good, because they knew that in the grand scheme of things, their relationship was not important to anyone but them. They would never give up their duties just to be together, because they know that that is not what the other one would have wanted. I think this is a much deeper and much more selfless form of love, one that makes me shed a tear every time I read this book.

Facts. Another detail is that Emperor Shaddam wasn’t just worried about Leto’s popularity with the other houses, but also because the Atreides military is considered just as dangerous as the Emperor’s…. Which, coupled with Leto’s rising popularity, would make House Atreides way too dangerous.

@@optimisticnihilist3417 True. But that is after the Emperors plot already put him onto Arrakis. The Atreides military, trained by two of the best fighters and military tacticians in the universe, is one of the most powerful before this plot and could rival any other House (or the Emperor himself). Only with the combined power of the Emperor and the Harkonnen could break them. Which leaves them both weakend and vulnurable to (avoiding spoilers) the second halve of the book. So, as with many things in the book, things are much more layered and the actions of each characters are, from their perspective, very reasonable and logical. The Baron Harkonnen didn't put decades worth of income and a significant portion of his resources (not to mention the damage on the planet and the Spice production) just for vengeance. The book makes it very clear that he aims for the throne, if not for himself then for his nephew Feyd-Rautha, which doesn't exists (so far) in the movie. Just as the Emperor wanted to use the plot to put the Baron into his place, shown by the subplot where Count Hasimir Fenring visits the Baron on Giedi Prime. Which incluedes another character I highly doubt we will see in the movie. The Subplot alone could make a movie..

@spudeleven5124 Год назад
​@@johnsamuel1999 That's where creative writing comes in. The thought monologues can be brought into conversations with other characters, but subtly, or just use voice-overs, but VERY sparingly. Narration would also help fill in the gaps (but DON'T overdo it as in the revised 1984 edition). Right now if you weren't familiar with the source material, the 2021 version of Dune would just appear be a lot of disconnected and oversimplified razzle-dazzle on a par with those dipstick superhero movies. This is why I keep arguing that Dune, being so complex and layered, can only be done well if it is presented in a long form with the story arcs taking months if not years to go through. "Game of Thrones in Space" is what the narrator of this outstanding critique called the book, and it's my fervent belief that it's a gross disservice to pack such a huge and sophisticated story into such an oversimplified move and in a two or three hour runtime. This is why I think the 2000 version came closest. They (SciFi) did a lot of work in Eastern Europe to save money, but it was still pretty obvious with the Translights, etc. that it was on a sound stage. THAT was compensated for by making it more like Shakespeare, including camera angles, use of colors, and of course Ian McNeice's couplets at the end of his scenes. All of these touches gave it a more theatrical presentation which in my opinion compensated mightily for the lack of locations. They told the story well and got a lot more of it on the screen than has been seen before or since.

When you said "Leto is understanding, and says he loves Paul no matter what. It's a touching moment of unconditional love between father and son. But in the book, we don't see this kind of softness". One of my favorite chapters in the book is where Duke Leto is going about his official duties, with a constant refrain in his thoughts of "They have tried to take the life of my son!" That chapter very much told me that Duke Leto loved Paul immensely, but that's one of things that makes Dune so hard to convey in a movie - trying to convey what the characters are thinking, which happens a lot in the book. So my guess is that the 2021 movie added action scenes that conveyed those sentiments in a way that they can be seen, of which I heartily approve. I've seen all the previous Dune attempts, which failed miserably because it's so hard to convey what the characters are thinking. I suppose it's a way to convey "literary license" into "dramatic license" or something.

The exact moment I fell in love with the film was at the spice harvester scene, where Paul kneels in the sand and whispers, "I recognize your footsteps, old man", and immediately gets snatched up by Gurney Halleck. So this is both a direct callback to the scene where Gurney berates Paul for standing with his back to the door and Paul says, "I could tell it was you by your footsteps", AND it directly refers to the sandworm that he feels coming through the vibrations in the sand (the "Old Man of the Desert"). That level of subtlety is present throughout the film, and even if a viewer doesn't know exactly what it means, it sets the tone so beautifully. But I did miss the dinner scene and the full depth of Yueh's character. Those were two of the five very minor gripes I had with the entire film.

This movie sadly vastly oversimplifies major world building points with short uninformative scenes or just entirely ignores them in favor of long silent shots. The older movies do a far better job of world building than this movie does, even with all their faults.

@@JA-nv4zb They are merely different forms of cruelty. There is no moral value to it. One is simply more honest and direct than the other. Tricking someone into being a slave is more cunning, more dishonest, than simply taking them captive. True empathy is when you release them. Atreides never does this, for anything other than their own gain, and preservation. They make concessions, not reforms, not contributions, concessions. They release power, to keep some. They do not release power because they feel that it belongs to others, that it is unfair, that it is cruel to keep it. The Harkonnens are debatably more moral. At least they do not lie. Is the dictator with an iron fist, who controls through open brutality, or the parliament of shills, cronyists, who campaign for votes, more sinister? It is not true that liberal democracies always turn into aristocracies. We simply have not had one. Addendum: It can be empathetic if you have no hypocrisy. The man who believes he should be a slave in the same situation as the man that is a slave, is empathetic. Empathy is very related to hypocrisy.

One bit of irony I’ve picked up through multiple readings of Dune is that Paul’s fight with Jamis really was the tipping point. In a way, the “human” act would have been for Paul to sacrifice himself to keep the jihad from happening, but it was the instinctive animalistic drive to survive that pushed him and ultimately the rest of the universe past the point of no return.

True but unless they address this material in the next movie then the completed project will lack much of the critical information needed to make full sense of the story. It like when Lucas said that he deliberately cut a lot of galactic context from the OT because he was able to say that set-up was in the prequels (even of he never made them). Then when he did make the prequels he finally had to address things. Dune was good but even as a relative novice to the story I know a lot was cut out or pared down to a surface level. If they didn't address it in the first movie are they really going to in the second?

I don't think it's that hard to make a good adaptation when the source material is good. It's just that many writers and directors don't want to stay faithful to the books because for some stupid reason they seem to think that means all of the success of the movie/show goes to the book writer instead of them. So they change the story thinking if people like it, they like _their_ story, even though their story is just a poor revision of the original.

In the fight with Jamis, since Paul is used to fighting with a shield, the fremen see it as if Paul is playing with Jamis, making the fight more a show of force than it is shown in the movie.

He later tells Paul to "exploit" (his words) the Fremen religion for the sake of their house. For all of Leto's problems with the demands of governance and his good personal qualities, it is the part of him loyal to House Atreides and his father that are presented negatively.

My absolute favorite change in the film is Jamis. Really caught me by surprise in the best way. Jamis was always just a random Fremen guy that he kills when I first read the books, and in the other adaptations. Felt like Paul was just by humoring the fremen's culture when he repeated 'Jamis was my friend'. Villanueve's version is brilliant, Paul probably had an entire lifetime of visions/alternate future where Jamis was his actual friend. Great addition, and heartbreaking when you think about it.

It's an interesting twist, but I feel it takes away from Herbert's original vision of Lady Jessica's education of Paul. She is very careful to keep him in balance and not have him turn into a bloodthirsty despot, and what she does after he wins the duel against Jamis most obviously shows that, while also highlighting how calculated she was. I think Villeneuve's depiction of her doesn't do her justice, especially what she does while Paul takes the Gom Jabbar test, breaking down into tears, which didn't seem to me to be very Bene Gesserit.

When a character is written, we can't see their face or get an accurate view of their expression unless it's told. With a movie it's shown. Especially when you pick a good actor, most of what you mentioned can be inferred by what the actor says and says with his face.

First off: I really liked how you made this video. It really feels like an addition to the movie; a great, more, in depth complement. I expected to see a furious critique of the movie but you paid your respects and added value to the parts where the movie lacked. My thoughts on Dune: I never knew about the Dune franchise until the movie was released in 2021. By pure chance I went with some acquaints and I thought the movie was bad except for the last 30 mins and the visuals. I never understood a thing. Then my friend suggested we'd see part two on the cinema but I refused to go because I did not like the first movie. After that I thought a few days on the matter and decided to read the first book. And man, it is really good. Like a million times better than the movie. All the little details, intricacies and plots within plots within plots which is easily missed and not seen in the movie hooked me. After reading the "first book" withn the "first book" (aka part one) I found that there was a whole appendix in the end which I went through a bit (not too much as I am afraid to spoil the rest of the book) and it struck me: The book can and should be read several times, it can be studied and understood from many angles. This seems scary but brings more enjoyment to the artpiece in the long run. I also started watching the movie and got a new appreciation for it -- however it still seemed to but scratch the mere surface of what lies hidden beneath the sands; the movie does a good job but I find that it does not pay the full respect to the true work of art of Frank Herbert. I am excited to keep on reading. I am excited to actually buy the books (free pdf on the web as im a bit poor). I am excited to see the movies as a complement. And in some weird way, I am excited for my future children to read the book. Thank you for a great video on the subject and thank you for giving me the forum to collect my thoughts so far.

I believe it's also important to note how sure EVERYONE is that the duke is dead already, just doesn't know it. Yueh "defeated" some of the greatest minds in the galaxy. He hid the truth from Jessica, Thufir Hawat, and almost killed the Baron. Of all the legendary characters that the attradies gathered, I think its underplayed that amoug those legends was Yueh, as great if not greater then the likes of Thurfir, Halleck, Idaho and even the Duke himself.

@@briangallagher787 I can totaly see that. Although, if all it took to break Suk conditioning was kidnapping someones wife...the conditioning is useless. I think Yueh's desire to kill the baron shouldn't be underplayed :D

Yueh's conditioning was subverted, thats the vehicle, imperial conditioning was supposed to be unbreakable so that they could be trusted to work on the Emperor and his family

@@goodlight4113 That just goes to show the ingenuity, tenacity, and vileness of the Baron.. To find a way to break such an "unbreakable" conditioning.. The Baron is rather underappreciated..

Not only was Leto getting more and more popular, his armies were getting better and better under Guerney Halleck and Duncan Idaho - while the Sardaukar were getting softer

i think what i learned early on in this video is that the newest dune adaptation does not seek to inform its audiences on the lore. it does not aim to give the backstory to every plot device and world fact there is in the series to its audience, but instead simply depict this world in the most beautiful and true way possible. in doing this, in rejecting the burden of expelling so much information, the film is able to create something truly beautiful and meditative. i fell in love with dune without knowing any of its backstory. it (the film) made me read its novel. that in itself is an accomplishment and the inquiry i have made on its philosophical, political and spiritual critiques have been ever rewarding. great film, great novel but insanely transcendent writing. gg

I think this where a lot of people get caught up in deciding whether or not this is a good movie, though i will say others are like my dad and are too caught up in the nostalga of the 1984 movie with Sir Partick Stewart, and I think this is where a lot of movie/series depictions fail sometimes. They either take too much time to create boring disposition to explain the afterthought of lore that ruins the cadence, or try to dumb it down and explain it quickly. Dune 2021 feels much more like a movie for the fans to capture the essence rather than to draw more people in.

​@@vinnietorres1145That's exactly it! Dune fans will love it, but it probably won't make too many more fans..

I love the book. I loved the 1984 one. I loved the first one in this series. Then I *liked* the latest part. I agree with what you're saying but there are some massively glaring errors like totally skipping the guild. Without the guild it's unclear what the spice is even really for. There were also bits of really lazy story telling in the second part which annoyed me. But yeah I don't think they needed to go into every single detail to make a decent movie. It would be absolutely impossible in fact.
