Fun fact: throughout the whole movie, Stilgar is played like a comic relief everytime he says Lisan Al Gaib, but the last time he says it, right before he enters the ship to fight the great houses is no longer funny, we don't laugh cause we know what it implies, he is no longer a believer, he's a fighter who believes, he is willing to give his live for his faith in the battlefield. And we know he'll probably die on it. The book even says it: paul says he won a great fighter but he lost a great friend.

Exactly right - too many people commenting on Paul's dark path aren't aware of just how trapped he is both by his prescience AND the ancestral memories he has awakened in him through the Water of Life - and it is basically said that the Imperium was in a period of deep instability. And it was an instability so deep that it was possible/even likely the Harkonnens would emerge as the new imperial house. Things were falling apart, and Paul was caught along the paths of several irresistible waves.

Since only females can become Bene Gesserit, only females are trained in "the way". Many Bene Gesserit die when taking the Water of Life, the survivors become the Reverend Mothers. It has to do with genetics (having X/X chromosomes) which is where their abilities comes from. Males have X/Y so what ability is unlocked having a Y chromosome is unknown to the Bene Gesserit which is why their selective breeding program has been at work for thousands of years trying to breed a male that would survive the process. Jessica defied the Bene Gesserit out of her love for the Duke and messed their plan up by bearing a son (one generation too early from when they were expecting). Reverend Mothers look into the past, the Kwizatz Haderach can look into the future.

A small curiosity about the blue ribbon that Chani (Zendaya) wears: According to Villeneuve, the director, in the adaptation, the blue ribbon symbolizes the intense love that Chani feels for Paul. She is even seen wearing it during the confrontation with the emperor, which means she still believed in him. It is only at the end of the movie, when she separates from Paul, that she stops wearing it. In the novels, it has a different meaning: the blue ribbon is linked to the marital or post-maternity status of the Fremen women. In the books, three years pass before Paul decides to confront the Harkonnens and the emperor himself. During this time, his sister Alia is born, and Chani becomes pregnant, although she tragically loses the baby due to a Harkonnen attack (a plot omitted in the movie, like many others).

I would like to believe the blue ribbon replaces a blue scarf woven through water rings.

This channel is amazing the amount of detail they paid attention to while also completely respecting the film. Top tier reaction.

Jessica didn't know she was a Harkonnen child because of the secretive breeding program of the Bene Gesserit, they often bear children of the seed of others not knowing where it comes from, carefully monitored by the Reverend mothers candidates are selected in order to produce more powerful Bene Gesserit as well as bringing them closer to the Kwisatz Haderach. Noone except some few and especially not the one bearing the child in question nor the children know whos bloodline it is. So, Harkonnens and Atreides both having been found to be strong candidates for bringing forth the one were secretly "cross bred" in order to increase the chances of the next generation, that's why the Bene Gesserit are so interested in Feyd Rautha and especially in securing that bloodline. Jessica simply took matters in her own hands, and, well maybe we'll see where that has led.

If Paul had not done what he did, the Fremen would of been crushed by the weight of the Emperor and all the armies of the Great House's. They survived for so long because they were only a nuisance and people didn't realize they lived in such large numbers. Paul's earlier successes leading them made people too aware of them.

So the director changing the story and making Chani an antagonist rather than supportive of Paul even in marrying Irulon doesnt make sense. I think the director has it planned that Chani kills Paul in the the next movie, even though that never happens in the books and loved each other deeply to the very end.

Just for your background: Villeneuve changed 2 main plot points compared to the book and did not do a significant time jump at the end which is in the book, too. However, he kept the unsteady pace of the book and the fast increasing density of the plot towards the end. A truly amazing adaption, but, Villeneuve will face writing issues for part 3. Also, keep in mind: In the book you learn almost nothing about the conspiracy against the Atreides. As the reader, you follow many internal monologues, but you only witness the intrigue from a certain perspective, deprived of many details. You only see the How and yiu get a superficial Why, blaming the Emperor and the Baron. But many details and certain key players of the conspiracy remain in the dark. Book 1 Dune and Book 2 Dune Messiah are very different pieces of literature. Dune Messiah is a weird, difficult read because it lacks a real 3-act- or 5-act-structure, and it dumps ***TONS*** of lore, background info, world building and explanations, new players, new centers of power, new conspiracies and even conspiracies within conspiracies on the reader. When i first read it I felt bulldozed by all the retrospect exposition and the unfolding complicated political plot against Paul, the Emperor of the Known Universe. It will be a mean, unthankful task for Villeneuve to adapt it as a screenplay. By the way, Paul ***is*** the Kwisatz Haderach. Some people in the comment section are clearly confused or only claim to heave read the book. After drinking the Water of Life, Paul can access all memories of both the females and the males of the interbred, crossed bloodline while the Bene Gesserit can only access the female branch. So, he is ***the*** mind that can cross space and time. His foresight is 99.99% perfect. Perfect. Almost ;-) Unforunately, in Dune Messiah, for Paul the harsh reality sets in step by step that his life's path was set in stone the moment he stepped on Arrakis. He first realized it in Dune after obtaining full precognition. With 1 exception: In Dune Messiah, there will be 1 true free choice in his life; he can choose between "door no. 1", taking a certain ACTION, and "door no. 2", taking a certain INACTION, but either choice comes with an insane emotional and personal weight to his mind and with mad repercussions for the Known Universe....no spoilers from me here about what and how Paul chooses in Dune Messiah, but when I read it - and of course, major explanations came a book later in Book 3 Children of Dune! - it felt like a hard punch to the stomach. I was not superhappy with that twist. Frank Herbert take on Paul was: There is no fate and no prophecy, it's all bullshit, made up, it's all human designs, just like religion, and one should always stay away from seemingly charismatic leaders with good intentions as they can lead into devastating chaos causing the most terrible things. Paul is such a case. He is a villain. Not malicious, yes, tragic, yes, but he is still a villain, not an anti-hero or some nonsense.

Paul didn’t choose anything. As Chani said “the world chooses for us”. Paul knew the only way he could ever free the Fremen was to become emperor. The only way he could do that and have legitimacy, is by marrying the princess. The books are way different when it comes the Paul, Chani and the ending.

Rabban. The Beast Rabban. A muscle-minded tank-brain, Rabban. But the book by Herbert makes him more intelligent and shrewd than any of the film adaptations give him credit for.

The last 30 minutes of this movie are pure cinema perfection!

Towards the end, you can see the emotions warring within Chani. Anger, sorrow, and most of all heartbreak. And yet she does not shed any tears. For she is Fedaykin, and her code of honor will not let her waste her body's water for tears, not even for love lost.

22:50 The drug of which the Harkonnens speak is called elacca, from the off-world tree of the same name. Symptoms of elacca intoxication include a carrot colour to the skin, berserker rage, stumbling...they put up a decent fight but are easy to kill.

Chani's blue scarf in Dune 2 symbolizes her love for Paul, reflecting their evolving relationship and her true feelings. Blue is worn when "Fremen women fall in love."

Hopefully after Messiah Villeneuve can convey the 'ending' theme of the books. This is only the beginning

You guys have one of the best responses to this movie I've seen. You get it. It's troubling.

Even with all the times Paul said he could see all the possible futures, people still thought he would lose that fight... It went exactly as he predicted. He was stabbed because he needed to. Notice how he was smiling during that fight. No hint of fear. He was fully in control.

Thank you for doing this reaction, I loved your thoughts and squeals. I love this version of the story but I do wish they had been able to add in things like Paul & Chani’s children. The first 3 books are very much worth the read.

Best Picture of 2024

The path Paul took was the only way to liberate the Fremen from the opressors. He had no choice

In the book, Chani doesn't make a fuss, but offers to step aside, but Jessica (who was also not a wife, but a concubine - politics), explains to her that a wife is only politics (and there will be no children as a result of it), but a real the prince's partner (and mother of his successors) is a concubine. Paul is a tragic hero, like from the ancient Greek tragedy - Orestes - about the curse of the Atreides family... Yes, the Atreides In the books, the family legend traces the origin of the family to Agamemnon Atreides (yes, the one from Illada and the Siege of Troy), although the father of the founder of the family in the books is Agamemnon, who belongs to the Titans (a group that in Brian Herbert's books enslaved humanity, whose last remnants resisted led by Harkonen).

for me that movie was the movie of the decade loved every single scene ^^

Magy, the actress who played Paul’s sister in his vision is *Anya Taylor-Joy* who will be playing a young *Furiosa* in the prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road: kzread.info/dash/bejne/in6B18qwhs_JkZc.htmlsi=0c0CPV9I_WErLk0S

I love your reaction here!! You were so hyped, I felt that

Great reaction, I've seen another reaction before and they didn't realize Paul was no hero lol, glad to see someone who understood the movie :)

Laura's right, Part 3 is moving forward. It was a while ago, but I think I made it 4 or 5 books into the series. It gets pretty wild, so I can't wait to see what Villeneuve does with it. What a generational director he's turning out to be. Sicario, Prisoner, Arrival, Blade Runner 2049, Dune. Absolutely incredible.

Paul exactly knew whats gonna happen if he decides to go South. That's why he never wanted to go South and told everybody that doesn't wanna go, especially Chani. He knew if he goes to South, their (his & Chani's) relationship will never be the same. THE PROPHECY! 👆

He didn't choose the throne, it was the only way to keep those he loved alive.

The OG Star Wars was phenomenal in the time period it was released; but the scripts were total garbage for the most part. That was always my biggest complaint, and it’s the same for the prequel films. Anyways, Star Wars wouldn’t even exist without the Dune books so there’s also that. But I completely agree. Dune Pt. 1 & 2 are already my favorite sci-fi films in the 20+ years I’ve been a sci-fi junkie!

Beeen lookin forward to this 💯🍿 I hope you guys could find the biggest screen to watch this on .. because seeing this in theaters was unforgettable 😶! Stay Awesome⭐️

If not for Paul Atreides, the Freman would have been eventually wiped out, and compared to many people living under the harsh and terrible societies of the empire they are the lucky ones. Paul chose the path leading to death destruction and rebirth, because it was truly better than any of the other options.

These two are great. They're on a planet with skyscraper sized worms and drugs in the sand, but Feyd kissing Vlad is where it's getting weird lol. Cheers all!

The narrow way through that Paul saw in his vision, required he sacraficed Chani.. Last scene with Paul he also looks sad when saying "lead them to paradise" Its as if hes thinking "was it worth it" Well thats just my interpetation of it :)

Guys which platform do you watch the movie ?

22:11 anyone else find it hilarious that when Austin Butler played Elvis, IN THE MOVIE girls had this horny-scream reaction, and he just had that effect on this girl in real life, despite being pearl-white and bald

Saw this in IMAX it was incredible. Can't wait for part Dune Messiah!

Good reaction. BTW, you should also react to the Dune miniseries that came out in the year 2000, which you can find it easily and freely on KZread, that one is the most faithful adaptation of the book, so it would be interesting to compare it with the movies. And if you want to know what happened to the characters after the first story, you can react to the sequel "Children of Dune (2003)".

Have you seen it in IMAX? Because it's made for IMAX theaters.

Work the contours and apply the edge of the blade, this film is the best sci-fi film yet made, congrats Denis, and thank you. No doubt you missed some Moebius art back in the day with those hooded Fremen.

All these Gen Z reactors really do not understand the concept of political marriage, even when it is explained to them in the previous film.

"I feel like he took the dark path" There was no other path, this was the only way to survive.

in the books, princess areline documents everything about the houses and Paul. She narrates between chapters

21:00: Feyd-Rautha was played by *Austin Butler* You should watch his award-winning performance in *Elvis*

Director Denis Villeneuve says he will begin the first part of Dune Messiah, once he is assured that he has a script which he feels will outperform both Dune Parts One, and Two.

Don't Worry, They will be together in the next part.

Very good reaction from You. I admit that I like watching reactions, but being able to watch Dune part two in IMAX is a completely different experience. Here, we only see a holiday postcard, in IMAX we are on this holiday. By the way, Magy, I would love to see Your reaction to Alita: Battle Angel (my favourite movie).

You gotta check out some Christopher Walken movies. He plays the Emperor. I think the only movies I know you've seen him in is Pulp Fiction (he played the soldier who showed up to give child Bruce Willis the watch) and Click (renamed What Kind Of Comedy Is That?!? He played Morty, the angel of death). The Prophecy is a good one. I'm sure people will recommend The Deer Hunter and The Dead Zone. He's in True Romance, which you'll love. Suicide Kings is one of my favorites. Honestly, it's a long list. He's a legend.

What version of the movie is this?

Hairy rats was hilarious, well played.

The deeper we go, the more exciting this adventure can be. 😺😸🙈🙉🙊💖

Always a joy to see Magy reacting to her favourite character coming up on screen 😂 7:30 it's interesting to see the difference between the old and young Fremen - how much influence the Bene Gesserit propaganda and myths have on the old generation while the young see all of that for exactly what it is - deceit. 11:47 excellent first date idea: blowing up your father's killers in the desert with your girl! 12:38 - you said it best, Magy - they're so desperate to believe that every little thing can be interpreted as proof to sustain their creed. Paul riding the worm for the first time - that scene is gonna give us chills every single time. The little reveal after that he rode one of the biggest worms ever was just icing on top of the cake. Feyd-Rautha is one cocky little shit but he did put on a grand spectacle in the arena, you gotta give him that. Princess Irulan tried to warn her father and maybe it would've been better but he didn't really want to listen. 29:25 - so that's how the "Water of Life" is created, neat little reveal there. 34:55 he really was "born again" and Chani prompty slapped his silly ass for it 😂 35:42 looks like our bitter enemies are related after all! Quite the juicy revelation. 37:25 what a powerful scene - he took the lead and nobody dared oppose him. 38:50 Chani just realized what a terrifying being Paul became - they created a monster. 40:54 "It was at this moment they knew...they fucked up" Gourney taking out Beast Rabban was so satisfying to watch. 43:55 Paul was right when he told Chani that if he goes south, he will lose her forever. 48:15 that last look on Chani's face - "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" Thank you for this phenomenal reaction and the emotional discussion afterwards, you've truly outdone yourself with this one ❤

Paul isn’t a monster he was pretty much forced into being the voice from the outer world by everything around him and just because the prophecy was made up for the fremen it doesn’t mean Paul isn’t the chosen one he can see the future and lead the fremen into paradise the whole point tho is that prophets are usually great people that are zealously and mindlessly followed and how dangerous it is to do that

Remember Paul’s own mother was a concubine and not a wife to his father Duke Leto. Him marrying the princess while being with Chani is unusual.

22:10 a million couches were stained from this lmao

Many discuss how Paul felt what happened was inevitable: he's wrong. He saw the man watering the palm trees and heard the words 'ancient dream' he ignored that whole thing, along with the Kynes# family and Chani's future. He saw the moons of Arrakis, the hand of god, and the desert mouse, right there in front of him; he named himself after the desert mouse, but chose the path of the hand of god. He wasted time at Kyne's research station. Leaving immediately would probably have left Duncan and Kynes alive, they had the vehicles to leave on, and delayed to hear Paul whine. These are just the most obvious. - and all dictators, religious or not, later describe everything they did as inevitable. Wrong. Lack of attention to the paths laid in front of them.

I remember my Step-Brother loving these books years ago..... I never really got into them. I remember seeing the original movies of Dune and although this is pretty good... it is a carbon copy of the original to me. Sure the CGI lends alot to these movies, but truly, it is just like the original, just with more recent young actors. I do feel this is a book series that would be very hard to do justice in the movies.....just like the Wheel of Time book series which is so so much better than what they are attempting to put into film.

Finally got to see this. I'm always way behind. Been so long since I felt something this epic.

When Jessica took the water of life she gained all the memories and trauma of thousands of years of reverend mothers before her, but her training and maturity helps her direct and channel those memories and trauma. Alia, by being in Jessica’s womb also received all those memories and trauma but without the training or maturity to process and deal with them. Alia will be know what is “preborn”. She will be born with all of that power right from the start but without the skills to handle it. In the book it had been several years from the first half to the second half of the novel and Alia had already been born. It’s Alia who kills her grandfather the Baron as a toddler and it’s way more distressing because she speaks as an adult. George Lucas borrowed a lot from Dune to create Star Wars and he based a major character off of Paul, but it’s not Luke….It’s Anakin.
