I... unironically love this version of Dune. It has a certain quality to it like a recital of Beowulf, or the reading of a historical saga. It's a lot of "Paul was here and did this. Paul went there and said that." to it. It's stilted. But enthralling. And, for me, the sheer grandeur of some scenes - the music and the visuals - even though static, or perhaps because they are static, have the feeling of a great imperial hall, or a place burdened by a history of empire and rule. There is something about Lynch's Dune which, for me, captures better than anything else the sheer scale of the story. The fact that you aren't watching a tale about the rebel prince. You are watching the terrible, inexorable unfolding of history before your eyes. Like standing at the foot of the mountain and seeing the avalanche thunder down upon you.

The shields DO come up again in the movie. You show the scene Duncan Idaho uses a shield while fighting the Sadaukar before taking a lucky/precise shot to the head. Shields are important in the backstory to explain why people use low-tech and melee weapons. When everyone has Shields to protect against "normal" weapons and the effect Lasguns have on shields(nuclear explosion) melee weapons are the most effective weapon.

Since you mentioned about the importance of reading and knowing source material in your video, may I suggest doing a Cinema Wins video on Steven Spielberg's "Adventures of Tintin: the Secret of the Unicorn", as an example of adapting a story to the movie medium correctly. The Adventures of Tintin comic series has a massive cultural influence in Europe (unfortunately not in USA) so I'm sure many European viewers would love your take on the movie. It is an absolutely great adaptation with great cast (Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and etc.), great music by John Williams, great everything and is super fun, even to a viewer who never heard of Tintin before. I think it's a masterpiece and would love to see you do a video about it. On a side note, it would be cool if you did a video on one of the old Jackie Chan movies (Iike Project A for example), since his Hong Kong action movies are really fun and easy to watch.

I asked my mom if I could borrow the book from the library and she smiled and said "top shelf, sweetie." We had our own copy, still in my posession 21 years later despite how hard I am on books. It was late but I read the whole thing that night and was instantly obsessed. I've read it cover to cover over 30 times, and go back to favorite passages often. My English teacher loaned me her copies of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, and I blasted straight through those two and onto the library to get the last three. I love the whole series, especially the improvements in the characterization of women in the last two books. Some of what was written of women in the first book had me like "shit, this is tens of thousands of years in the future, and yet so obviously 1960s."

Can confirm; Toto is definitely worth getting into. As great as “Africa”, “Rosanna” and “Hold the Line” are, their back catalogue is absolutely stellar. Fun fact; on their 40th anniversary tour, they performed “Dune: Desert Theme” live :)

Fun Fact: Sian Phillips actually suggested the bald head look for the Bene Gesserit to David Lynch. Oh & those Sardaukar uniforms….they were made from actual bodybags!!!

Like most 'flops' from great directors they go on to be highly influential. The campy haute fashionable costumes and set designs have become a sc fi standard, in fact Lynch's Dune seemed to have a huge impact on fashion designers such as Alexander McQueen, Which in turn fed back into the film world, from the Fifth Element to the Hunger Games. Also the post-modern splicing of the ancient with the modern, science and the mystical you see in most sci-fi these days. Plus just as in Dune, inter-planetary politics are taken more seriously now, no longer cheesy platitudes to fill in between special effects and set pieces. Dune was basically ahead of its time and might be still ahead of our times, that is in a kind of Shakespearean drama in space kinda way. But in the end, the dialogue couldn't sustain the screen-time it was given, Herbert maybe a great sci-fi writer, but he's no Shakespeare. That said when the more theatrical actors got hold of the lines, the dialogue could spring into life. Lynch should/ve recruited his former colleagues from the Elephant Man - Gielgud, Hopkins, and Hurt. Americans and Continentals doing Shakespeare in space falls a little flat. But Lynch should've gone full Shakespeare, and made something impenetrable to the common punter. After all, the far future, like the past- is going to be hard to follow. Perhaps needing several viewings to truly understand. You might even make the case for subtitles I think if he had full artistic freedom, he would've done. No point being half way impenetrable - you've gotta go the whole nine yards. As he now understands.

I saw the new movie a few weeks ago and my dad was so mad I hadn't seen this movie yet, so he made me watch it. The best way I can describe it is as a fever dream.

And just cut stuff left and right. I think Chani has a total of about 3-5 scenes in the movie, and goes from "who the F*** is this dude" to "I love you Paul" in a single scene, which was the point where I just gave up trying to understand what was happening.

Watching this movie was what finally got me past the first 50 pages to actually finish reading Dune - just so I would know what the heckie I'd just watched! XD

Okay. This...this is a brave one. I love this movie with all my heart, but we all know it's a cinematic disaster and nothing on screen even remotely matches the books. Still. I'm here for it. Bring it on! Tell me why I should love this (I already do)

Honestly, I still prefer this over the newest release. 2021's Dune had many good points, but I found it cold, sterile, and kind of washed out. There was very little passion in it, whereas Lynch's Dune was all about being over the top.

@Maxim N He's not trying to be edgy, he's simply right. A lot of people felt the movie lacked soul and that most of the characters just felt like pieces of cardboard that lacked any depth or flesh.

@Maxim N Visually Dune 2021 was stunning, but there was something off about it and Semper Vigilio was right, it missed a soul and was too sterile and don't get me started on Hans Zimmer's soundtrack which was just so dissapointing. It was too loud, to mish mash and in the end I still couldn't hear a single theme in it just a mass of loud sounds. I hope Dune 2 will be better.

I love the 2021 Dune for its passion, authenticity, especially the relationship between the characters. For example, I thought the SyFy miniseries did a better job than the 1984 version to establish a mother (Jessica) who loves her son (Paul), and the 2021 movie does an even better job yet. I felt all the major relationships in 2021 were far less wooden, sterile, etc, than the 1984 version. That said, the 1984 Dune is freaking awesome as well for its over-the-top portrayals; I am especially a fan of the Harkonnens from 1984, even where they veer off from the books. Just an insane good time with those villains, among the more memorable in movie history. I don't know, this 2021 movie seems to be using the technology we have at the moment for the best artistic reasons, establishing epic world-building shots, invoking similar emotions as experienced from the source material books.

So true! Visually it was great - like a moving graphic novel, but the storytellimg and writing of Charakters were intellectually underwhelming

Interestingly you posted this just as I watching this movie. _Un_fortunately I'll have to wait till next weekend to see the new one, as all the seats are taken for tomorrow's showings. That's a good sign for Part 2.

I rented this and watched it on a whim on a Saturday evening. There are worse ways to spend a Saturday evening. It was worth watching, but I probably will never watch it again. Now Villeneuve's Dune Part 1, I am about to go see it a second time in one weekend, and will definitely watch it multiple times.

Yeah, when a person watches the 1984 Dune once, they are scarred by some scenes for a lifetime. I mean, what the Baron did to that servant's heart plug cavity... 😵

I saw (and enjoyed, albeit while being massively confused) Dune 2021 last night & had a tough time hearing character/location names clearly (saw it in an overly loud IMAX theater) so this might help me iron out some of the details I was confused on.

I don't think that's a problem with your theatre. i had the same issue. And I had that same issue with Blade runner. I think it's more that villeneuve doens't care about sound mixing.

Not your theater, it's as if they're trying to make it an opera with the sound level. Also the music implementation is done in a way as if they're trying to make every single scene be epic or awe inspiring, which can be reeeeally tiring over time - and considering this is a 3 hour movie the sound level is hammered into your brain without any real pauses. Idk to me it felt like the screenwriters didn't know what to do with the source material, besides trying to make it grand at every opportunity they had. But essentially when everything is trying to outshine eachother, essentially nothing stands out and it just becomes loud (both audibly, and visually too). I found Dune 2021 an interesting experience, albeit not one I'm gonna be remembering in detail in the future. My image of it is more that it's a movie that tries to be more than it is. Trying to appear monumental, when in reality it's quite mundane and basic. Alas, I'm never one to complain about new big screen sci fi adventures.

It was extremely loud. I had no issue with the names however, since living in Norway, where English is very well understood, we still have captions in Norwegian for those that need it in the cinema. Not sure I'd have needed it tbh, I find it more annoying than helpful normally, but I like that they make it more accesable for others.

Obviously, you have never watched an Indian film in an American cinema. They have a much higher average volume. American films are designed with dynamic range.

love the random Christopher Walken dance, esp since I just learned that he's playing the Emperor in new Dune part 2.

In the books "the Voice" sounds like speaking, because it is just speaking. Only with carefuly chosen tone and position to subcontiously compel people to do things. (Or at least that's how I understand it)

Now I have seen ALL versions of Dune a combination of ALL of them would be the best!

That space navigator looks like he's in dire need of a bong hit transplant.

I'm forever grateful for this movie because it was due to this movie that Dune 2 existed which was one of the earliest RTS. Followed by a remake as well as a sequel that was amazing

I am once again asking for Everything Great about Ice Age (2002). The studio that made it closed this year, it'd be nice to see some appreciation for Blue Sky and their movies!

I'm gonna be seeing the remake. I'll be back with my thoughts Edit: back from the movie. 9.3/10. I enjoyed it Edit 2: can we not have an argument in the replies please

It’s not a remake. It’s a separate adaptation, and one that actually understands and respects the source material, unlike the Lynch film.

Saw a premier showing. It was awesome

i think kyle maclachlan should be an instant cinema win

Virginia Madden gets obsessed over a lot. By Vincent Spano in Creator and by a computer in Electric Dreams. 2:48 Freddie Jones needed less makeup than you think. He always had some pretty awesome eyebrows. And that voice is just unmistakable.

was not ready for that space pug song but I am here for it HAHA

I wish more book adaptations would be willing to do thought voice overs.

I don't see what the fuss is about it either. People say it's over-expositional for film. I mean - can't movies chose to do this occasionally. It's done in such a great way in Dune. I just dislike the idea that people have gone "This is a rule we don't break in film=>this is bad in this film", without actually looking at whether it works.

It's been a few weeks since I last suggested the Captain Underpants movie video, so I'm doing it again now. Great video as always, I'll see y'all next week in the comments of the next video!

As a fan may I recommend the 5th Toto album Isolation. The cover for which was done by David Lynch if memory serves. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for the positivity you inject into the world with every video! It's contagious

Say Villeneuve's Dune yesterday and enjoyed it, so when I saw this pop up I thought "Yeah, I'll watch that." Started it and remembered this movie goes over the full story and I only saw the first half of it with 2021 Dune. So I guess I'll put this video on hold for a few years while Part 2 gets made...

We shouldn't be surprised Toto did good with the soundtrack after all it's in the lead singers blood.

Mildly ironic that both Brad and P Stew would land in Starfleet within 15 years

Quick thoughts on the new one. Sure they dropped a lot of exposition dumps, and didn't attempt to do the voice overs of peoples thoughts. Both good ideas. Unfortunately though they dropped the most context and direct exposure to WHY most of what is happening is happening. So many important scenes and characters are cut or reduced to nearly nothing. They aslo added some scenes that seemed good in the moment but after did nothing but spend time that could have been put back into important elements. Overall I enjoyed it. Tonely it was perfect, visually it was perfect, and they got a lot of amazing actors. They also had creative solutions to problems of adaptoin Dune. I just wish some of them were given a chance to have rolls. Despite all the issues with teh 84 version, it had character and characters. The new one falls short on giving much weight to anyone besides Paul, his mother, and Leto (sometimes).

Thank you. Anyone other than the main Atredies is basically one dimensional and boring. Josh Brolin is playing the same grumpy character he always plays, and Jason Momoa is playing himself as he always does. The baron is subdued and boring.

19:18 - Lynch did actually read the book, but he hadn't before the producers asked him to do it. He agreed to after he finished reading.

I was going to express my displeasure with the video, then I was going to say you saved it with the Aaron Sorkin's quote, then I learn it's not a Sorkin's quote it's a JFK quote. TIL ^^

Just watched the new Dune, 2.5 hours wasn’t enough I need more and I can’t wait for the next one!

Crazy to think that crazy box shield effect is only on-screen for a minute and it took nearly a YEAR to animate. _Without_ computers!

Every time I see the moment with the box, no matter from lynch, miniseries on latest dune, when reverend mother say "put your hand into the box" I see Eric Cartman saying " Put a dollar into the boxaaaa!".

Perfect timing, I get to watch this with dinner

Funny, I did too!

A movie I've seen a million times a long time ago. it's got a bizarre place in my heart

LOVE the call out to I'm Free (Heaven Helps the Man), a song with: 1. A man who dreams (prescient dreams/visions) 2. A focus on eyes (the blue eyes of the Ibad) 3. A man who fights his fear (the Litany Against Fear) 4. A man who stays where he is out of love (Chani's fate) 5. Virginia freakin' Madsen (Princess Irulan).

Can you please do Peter Pan (2003)? It’s so beautiful and the soundtrack is lovely and it has Jason Isaacs in it. It’s the only one my sisters and I watch.

Im so looking forward to your take on the new movie. That was just such an experience. I remember watching this one some years ago to go by my "sci fi bucket list" but boy I did not understand anything and like Blade runner...... it just didnt stick. Boy did Dune 2021 get me. It sooo deserved a remake of this quality and I hope this will be our new Saga for years to come.

To anyone wanting to watch the new Dune : It is amazing, in almost every way. But it is a little tricky to follow. I found myself confused about multiple things and I think that might throw some people off. Regardless, my current favourite movie and I can't wait for the next one, I love the universe of it and it's definitely up there with Lord of the Rings in terms of world building and overall quality.

I think it’s really lovely to see the Lynch version finally receive the love it deserved. For decades now, me and my mates could never fathom why it was always tarred and feathered by the ‘supposed’ critics and TRUD FANS alike. The scene of the Navigator will always have a sacred place in my heart, as it epitomizes what Dune is actually all about, and their reason to personally visit the emperor is the catalyst for the story - none of which is truly given any credence in the nearly six hours of the new movies. The music in the 84 version is also some of the best in cinema.

Thank you so much for that The West Wing reference. Love Toby and that quote.

Speaking of movies you should do for this channel, why isn’t there a video for Dark City? Totally underrated, which is right up your alley.

Can you do an EGA about Speed Racer, please?

Another great, underappreciated film

I absolutely love this movie. In no small part, because it was my introduction to David Lynch. And I've never been the same. (In a good way.)

The Christopher Walken reference after knowing Walken will be the Emperor in the new one. Haha
