It is a brilliant backstory created for the film which allowed the filmmakers to justify making the sequence look almost identical to the film Triumph of the Will, a ground breaking by controversial propaganda film commissioned by the Nazis, which itself drew inspiration from the Roman Empire in the same way the Giedi Prime gladiator sequence did...this helps to draw comparisons of the Harkonnens to the Nazi's...George Lucas also used Triumph of the Will as an influence when designing many of the Empire scenes in Star Wars...he also drew heavily on the novel Dune and the movie Lawrence of Arabia, another influence of both Herbert's novel and the new Dune films...and around we go...

Behind the scenes, the costume department worked hard to deliver all of the costumes for this film, but they were taken by surprise: The costume department was unaware that the gladiator sequence would be shot in infrared, and the costume department had no experience with infrared filming. When the costumes for that sequence were delivered, they were all-black in normal lighting, but in infrared parts of the costumes shown white. The costumes had to be returned to costuming and they had to work furiously to make corrections in a short amount of time.

39:31 In feudal cultures such as this, marriages between members of Great Houses were more political than anything else, that's why there were concubines or courtesans. At the end of the novel, Jessica says to Chani about Irulan -- "You see her standing there, so haughty, so proud. She will have her books, but little else, while we, who bear the name of concubine, we shall be known as _wives."_

"...but hunny - I gotta marry an Emperor's daughter" that line had me dyin lol

The sun absorbs all wavelengths but infrared and they filmed it with IR cameras. This isn't from the book, but Villeneuve and his team came up with an entire background story about how Harkonnen culture and psychology is influenced by their "Black Sun".

13:22 The worm has lots of "segments" that those hooks he has pull up the lip of, he did not have to be a in a specific spot. The worm will work to keep those segments so exposed as far from the sand as possible, which is how the Fremen control where they go (and why the worm does not dive under the sand while being ridden).

To me it is funny that the Emperor tells Paul that his father followed his heart and was weak for it. Paul denies his heart and follows the path of marrying the emperor's daughter instead of Chani. It really does make him more powerful, but at the same time, goes against his father's teachings, making him closer to becoming the very people he despised.

37:18 There are three character rich conversations from the book are missing from the showdown scene with the Emperor. 1) Thufir Hawat (the older chubby man from the first movie) Duke Leto’s Mentat advisor actually survived the Fall of House Atreides. The Harkonnens captured him and forced him to work for them. In secret despite being brutalized constantly, Thufir was still loyal to House Atreides. So when he found out that Gurney was still alive, he started feeding Gurney information to hurt the Harkonnen's spice trade. In this final scene, Thufir is given a poison needle to jab Paul with. Instead of betraying Paul he stabs his own hand with it. Thufir lives long enough to stand in front of Paul and address him as “My Duke”. It is a bittersweet moment for both of them as Thufir was like a grandfather to Paul. Thufir died happy to see Paul live to avenge his father and reestablish House Atreides. He had served Paul's grandfather Paulus Atreides and then his father Leto Atreides. So with his last breath Thufir let Paul know "I'm still your loyal man now and for always". As soon as Thufir dies, Paul stands up, wipes away his tears and calls out Feyd Rautha. He wanted to make sure everyone responsible for the death of his father and teachers would get it. Denis Villanueve did film this final scene but left it on the cutting room floor. Steven M. McKinley who played Thufir Hawat gave an interview about being disappointed that his work was left out of the second movie. 2) After Paul defeats Feyd, the Emperor Shaddam asks his best friend Count Hasimir Fenring to challenge Paul. Fenring is the husband of Margot Fenring the Bene Gesserit who got impregnated by Feyd. Fenring despite his mild manner appearance is the Emperor's personal hitman. Fenring is almost a Kwitzach Haderach like Paul and has been trained by his wife Margot in Bene Gesserit ways. So with all of those skills Fenring could potentially defeat Paul in single combat But when Fenring and Paul looked at one another across the throne room, they experienced a shared moment of kinship. Fenring sees in Paul all he could have become had he not been born a genetic eunuch. Because of this birth defect Fenring can't father children with his beautiful wife or any woman. Paul also sees what Fenring is seeing in that moment and conveys back to the Count not pity but brotherhood. After that shared moment, Fenring turns to his best friend Emperor Shaddam and says "No". This was the first time that Shaddam was ever turned down by Fenring and he is shook to his core. Denis Villanueve also filmed this final scene but left it on the cutting room floor. Actor Tim Blake Nelson who played Count Fenring has also given interviews about his heartbreak with being left out. 3) Paul and Jessica letting Chani know that the marriage to Princess Irulan is merely political. They explain that Paul will never spend time with Irulan, show her any passion or sire children with her. The Imperial marriage is all for show. Paul basically marries Irulan then goes home to Chani. They never mistreat the Princess but everyone knows that she is Empress in name only. David Lynch the director of the 1984 version of Dune actually filmed both the Thufir and Chani scenes and they can be found on KZread.

They cut a lot of the great subtle stuff out of these movies. It was THufir Hawat that set up Feyd Ratha's fight with the undrugged Atreides soldier but it was also Thufir Hawat that told that soldier that he had a chance to really win and kill Feyd ratha with a poison needle in his hip belt. Feyd only wins that fight by cheating with a secret code word that paralyses the atreides soldier. Its that incident and Hawat's discovery of the Fremen's real numbers that cause the Baron to cut off supplies to Raban. He does that because the Fremen can match the Sardaukur, and the sardaukur are the empire's toughest fighters because they are made so by their prison planet, where only the toughest survive - just like Dune. So that might look like the Harkonnen's have set out to make a planet to challenge the emperor. And that brings the emperor into the fight over Arrakis because the spice supply, without which space travel is not possible - the biggest secret and revelation of the story's climax - is under direct threat from the Fremen led by Paul. And without space travel, there is no universe ruled by the emperor and the conventions. And just as importantly, without the money from the spice, the spice distribution company, CHOGM, wont support the emperor. By controlling the spice, Paul controls CHOGM. But the whole crucial dinner party scene is missing, the importance of Kynes is missing, the episode of the Baron's mentat, Piter de vries (who has blue eyes from spice addiction) and the chrysknife is all missing, the significance of the shadout mapes is missing. So much is missing. plus, the misdirection that makes Lady Jessica the suspect instead of Dr Yueh, is missing.

It's unfortunate these scenes were left out, but Denis was making a movie and had to operate under a duration limit that forced him to focus on the central story. Given the immense depth and complexity of the novel, I think it's impressive that he was able to include as much as he did, and make it all feel seamless.

The movie differs from the books as you would expect. Paul & Chani had a talk before the scene where he took the Princess hand where he told Chani that she would be the only person he would ever love, that the princess was only a means to the throne. Paul's mother had also told Chani 'That while we would only be concubines, history would record us as wives'. Chani (in the books) knew what was going to happen & accepted it but we don't know how the story will evolve in the movies (there are rumors that there could be a total of 5 movies made but the 3rd is already confirmed)

You have no (or very little) means of getting back down. Unless and until your suspensor runs out of energy, and you freefall back to the ground, which can also be hazardous. That's why in that one scene, they are specifically jumping toward a rock they can grab onto.

The final fight between Paul and Feyd Ratha was actually instigated by Feyd Ratha, because Feyd Ratha invoked Kanly - which is a formal feud - and the emperor allowed the fight (plus Paul wanted to kill a Harkonnen - in the book, toddler Alia kills the Baron). Feyd ratha did slash Paul and the blade was poisoned but Paul could metabolise the poison. When Feyd ratha tried to cheat again with a poisoned needle in his belt, the needle got stuck on the floor and paul killed him. The ending in the first book - which had no conflict with Chani and in which he promised her another son (in the book their infant son Leto II was killed in a raid by the sardaukur, the same one in which Alia lets herself be captured so she can kill the Baron) was perfect. I was surprised that they set this up for more parts because the sequel books get steadily weirder and, frankly, the tv series Foundation (based on the Asimov books), is much better than the Dune book sequels.

However there is about another 20-25 books or so co-written by Frank's son Brian Herbert and another author Kevin J. Anderson. There is another Dune movie, which was made in the mid 1980's. It is a single movie and it also is only about the first book. Then in the early 2000's they made a 3 part tv movie mini-series which comprised the first 3 books! And they are coming out with another tv series sometime later this year!

1:36 as far as I know, this was filmed in Jordan, in the same area as the desert scenes from Part 1 - but, these scenes in part 2 were filmed during the actual October 2022 solar eclipse. The lighting was enhanced a little bit to make it appear a bit more red than it would in real life, and there's a little bit of CGI to make a second moon appear, but otherwise it's pretty much as it looked while they were filming. (Given how meticulously the cinematographer and director planned out the locations and times for filming - they apparently had some incredibly complicated software to let them work out what locations would have the right angles of natural light and so on - I don't think it was a case of being lucky, since the dates for solar eclipses and the areas likely to get the best view are known years in advance. Maybe lucky that it was a positive for the film and could be worked into the script.)

Yes, that's another key detail that would have been good to include in the movie if not for time constraints. In the novel, as Paul confronts the Emperor just before the fight with Feyd, he is accused by the Emperor of having violated the Great Convention. Paul dismisses this by noting he didn't use atomic weapons against any people, but rather a natural feature of the desert (the small mountain range called the Shield Wall protecting the city of Arrakeen and surrounding basin from storms and sandworms). Paul tells the Emperor "it was in my way and I was in a hurry to get to you, Majesty."

Worm riding; You hook the maker hooks under the plates of the worm, the worm will lift the plates away from the coarse sand, as long a s the maker hooks stay in place the worm cannot go under the sand. I think that was Dune. Next; Children of Dune... ?

Paul's mother waas not married to his father, she was his concubine. They appear to be saving it for the next movie but Chani will be Paul's concubine and have his children. The Emperor's daughter will be Paul's wife in name only.

Sasha, great point ‘I wonder who was the first person there who thought they could ride the worms?’ Perfect!

Dasha, harvesting Spice is always in Worm territory because Spice is Worm's poop in the first place... Baron Vlad put Rabban in charge precisely because he would fail, so he could then put Feyd Rautha in his place like a savior. The battle was very short in the book as well.

The Imperial feudal order has a thing called the Great Convention. Any use of atomic weapons against humans by a great house will result in retaliation in kind by all other great houses. In the book Paul gets accused of violating this rule. His response, "Nah, I just blew up that mountain range so I could get my worms into the parking lot." The book doesn't explain how Paul has these weapons. Two day Prime shipping, I guess. So I appreciate the change they made to the story. Duke Leto never married Jessica because it left open the possibility to marry for a political alliance. Paul is doing the same. The last line of dialogue in the book is Jessica telling Chani, "History will call us wives." Paul never has an intimate relationship with Irullan. He is not unkind to her, but essentially treats her as a hostile foreign agent in his house, which she is.

They'll have to get back together in the next movie, as she gives birth to Paul's children. Additionally, Paul stated that he saw the future and knew she would come to understand. He has a flawless vision of the future. Her compliance is inevitable.

Sitting down to just passively watch a 3-hour movie is completely different than commenting on and reacting to a movie for 3 hours. 2:25 unfortunately the devices they use to float attract the worms. So you'd be floating around with a worm underneath you just waiting for you to come down. In the movie should have made that clear but didn't state it directly. Another thing the movie isn't clear on is that when you use a laser against a shield the two will explode like a small atomic weapons. 18:00 It's ok, you are correct. The book says they have a black Sun so he filmed it in infrared which comes out black and white. It also represents how their society is. Everything is in black and white.

There will be a 3rd part. If I am informed correctly, they are already in pre-production.

Yes there will be a third movie and it will be called Dune: Messiah not Dune Part 3 or Dune 3. It will be the last of this trilogy by this director. If done well it could cement itself as one of the greatest trilogies of all time.

The end of the book is different to the end of this movie. My guess is the director wanted to add a little tension to the end of the mvie by leaving a bit ok the book out.

I can think of a movie with an interesting mother-son relationship: "The Manchurian Candidate"...😳

Dasha, did you notuce this is soooo far in the future but there are no robots or computers? That is because in these books there was a war against AI, and when humans won all religions agreed to forbid any machine that imitates the human mind.

I loved watching this and seeing your beautiful day in the background.

A guy's point of view: From the beginning Paul was part of a plan. Haunted by dreams, he fell in love. His mother cautioned him not to be blinded by love. Paul said he didn't want to go south and lose Chani - those were real tears. Chani said the world has made choices for us. Yes, Chani's feelings are hurt but Paul is the tragic figure here. He is just as much in love with Chani and she is with him. He must be strong enough to set that aside for what seems like a greater good. I don't think most women understand the cost that kind of decision extracts from men. He is fated to lead a holy war he knows would have horrified his father. He must wed a woman he does not love to fulfil his role. A loveless, unconsummated marriage. There is only one truth: "I will love you as long as I breathe...." Life can be a death sentence.

Super cute reactor calling the desert mouse super cute, cute.

Awesome!

@18:13 - As best I can recall from reading the books thirty years ago..., the sun of the Harkonnen homeworld emits light only at a certain wavelength which results in only white light and no colors being visible to the human eye (outside anyway).

20:50 The first kiss was in the script, the second one was improvised. 👀

Great movie! Rebecca Ferguson is FANTASTIC as Reverend Mother Jessica 💗🥰

Original scenes in SF movies ! yes, but it is in the Dune saga books from Frank Herbert (books from 1963 to 1985)

i really recommend reading the book or listening to an audiobook version

...and yes, your'e right Dasha. The Black Sun on Planet Geidde Prime shines Black and White

One of my favorite reacts you have done Dash! Stay Awesome!

17:04 _"That's irrelevant."_ "How? I think that should be relevant." That's because you're not Bene Gesserit, Dasha.

Keep up the great work Dasha!

I cannot recommend strongly enough that you should read the book. As great as the films are, the level of brilliance that the source novel reaches is unsurpassed.

Thanks for watching this one, even I am looking forward to the next one.

In the novel Chani understands and accepts Paul's move, and their relationship is not harmed by the marriage. I like the slight change, it puts more emphasis on Paul's choice in walking the golden path. To survive, avenge his father and prevent total collapse of the empire; he has to wage war that will be the death of millions and sacrifice his own identity and personal feelings. A feeling of betrayal to Chani feels like a betrayal to the Fremen people who embraced him and now uses as a tool for his play for power.

He doesn't have to do a massacre though... he could have just not backed down on his bluff and blown up the spice fields. Then a lot of people in the universe starve, but that's on the Landsraad for not taking his threat seriously. 'You brought this on yourselves. Did you think I was bluffing?' probably plays better politically that 'You called my bluff... time to crusade the universe!'😅

Don't feel bad for Chani, she is the true Empress of the Universe. The marrige to Irulan was pure politics, she is the true victim of circumstance. Manipulated by the Bene Geserit, Irulan was the hope that they could control him with their marage. But Irulan's existance would be only to narate his life. Rulan will never to know a moment of tenderness from the man to whom she's bound.

Theater was packed when i went to see this.

Soooooo.... Baron Harkonnen has been floating around for 2 movies, and you're just now realizing the Harkonnens have Anti Grav????

He told her that if they went South that he might lose her and when there was insistence that he goes south he said that he would do what had to be done and that was drink water of Life and lead the people to Paradise and marry the emperor's daughter to ensure the safety of arrakis and that might mean the possibility of a holy war

@ 37:01 the movie doesn't do a good job of explaining what is going on. Remember, Lady Jessica was the bound concubine of Duke Leto and was not his wife though she was the woman he loved and the mother to his two children. This universe is based of the feudal system of Europe that reigned until the end of World War I (see the Romanov family of your native country). The possibility of a marriage that made a political alliance, like the one between Paul and Princess Iriland. I will not provide a spoiler here but the book ends very differently from this movie.

You’re in for a treat. The second is really good. 😊

The chances are we’ll get dune part 3 in the next 3 years.

As Written!

You should check out the books if you want more Dune! The audiobooks are really well done.

13:33 Thats what she said... They all go pretty much the same speed but you get there faster with a bigger one?

i've already seen this movie, it's so good 🙂🙂

Yeah.. as much as I liked aspects of this Movie. I liked the Book Better. Especially concerning Chani. She came off as too "Barabas" for My liking. Still looking forward to seeing (and Reading) Messiah though.

Dasha with straight dark hair resembles a [young] Rhona Mitra.

Its cool that Denis Villeneuve add more realism in the scenes to make the younger audiance relate to Dune's lore

as with the first film, everything seems more than good, except for just one "detail": the protagonist, who continues to appear insignificant, insipid and without any charisma, quite the opposite of what the Kwisatz Haderach should to be. to the problems of Paul's non-existent sister and much worse, the death of the Baron, one can also pretend nothing happened, but unfortunately what should have been one of the main characters of this second film, Chani, turned out to have been developed in completely wrong way, so much so that it seems to go against not only Paul but the entire struggle supported by his people.

History is written on the sands of Arrakis...

favorite reactor, favorite movie. Good Day!

Yay

My best trilogy always will be the Lord of the Rings. Second is the Matrix trilogy. And this is gonna be my third! Paul saw Bene Geserit's dirty plans after drinking the worm's poison. I guess he is gonna save fremens from this evil cult at the end.

How do you catch a worm to get back?

Feel bad for her! What about him?

Editing cuts out a lot, leave the scenes to run so we can watch

Marriage in royal houses is for political purposes. That's why Jessica wasn't married to Leto. He left it open in case he needed a political alliance. Jessica was his concubine. Chani will be Paul's. Paul never touches Irulan. She's a tool, nothing more to him.

The extended cut of 1984's Dune is better with the grand feel of the book and Scifi channel's mini series did better with the books through Children of Dune by Frank Herbert. This movie fails to follow the book and changes the story too much and not due to time or effect constraints. Changing Dr Kynes to a woman destroys the plot of being Chani's father lost at the same time as Duke Leto, driving the two together. The fight in the end is different for no reason. The Barron's family all had red hair. In the book the baby was born premature due to the water of life with the knowledge of a R. Mother. Very cartoonish remake with two far better editions prior. You should read the books, home of the Baron is an industrial world with heavy pollution, the Duke's world is a water world with fish and rice production. Dune is a desert world much like one the Emperor's family came from and trains their military. The system is feudal and the great houses hold nukes but it is a law to trigger mass response if one dares use them. Also the destruction of the spice is not by nukes in the books but breaking the life cycle of the worms by killing the larva form with the water of life.

Chani was awesome in both the old movie and the tv series, now they ruined her and made her petty and stupid.

Their "Sun" is black.

Tbh I've never seen this movie and i don't plan on it because of all the overhyping its getting 🤦🏻‍♂️ good lord

Dasha In movies, scenes in black and white usually indicates it's taking place in the past, it's a flashback or exposition needed to explain the scenes of current events.
