The kiss, which is initiated by Vladdy first (funny how all the media sources don't mention that), seems to me fueled by a mixture of lust, pride (for his nephew), and political blessing, because I sure can't imagine him doing the same to the far less talented Rabban. As for F.R.'s immediate counter kiss, it feels completely devoid of any sexual connotations and only a mean to demonstrate his mental fitness for governorship. Butler's snake-like visage and 4th wall stare into the camera are so good!

One of the things that I think set Butler apart in this role is how much he NAILED the voice acting of Feyd-Rautha. He sounds almost exactly like Stellan Skarsgård, yet Feyd has that edge of a hunter's prowess that sets him apart. Absolutely stellar acting. That final "You fought well, Atreides" sent shivers up my spine.

Simple sex must not be pleasurable anymore, nor rape, not even torturing people (that he clearly doesnt see as people), so... why no the next best thing, the only true people around him... his own family.

Austin did an amazing job. The kiss seemed natural for Feyd. He nailed it.

In some medieval countries, when a nobleman was made a vassal, he'd kiss his new overlord on the mouth as a sign of respect and loyalty I thought the scene was largely inspired by this fact

Austin was incredible for portraying the character's layers, darkness, nuance and personality. I was especially impressed with his vocal work - like making the Elvis voice part of his everyday voice, with Dune he adapted Stellen Skarsgaard's Baron voice into his own. He really brought the character to life and make him both believable, brutal and menacing.

1- *Austin* so so good, magnetic and electric every time he was on screen my eyes were GLUED to him. And his quiet, silent moments spoke so much! When he was pacing the throne room, analyzing everything around him, just... so satisfying. The voice change? The expressions every time the camera focused on him? He was on a mission and he nailed this 100%! I knew he could pull off a villain bc of "once upon a time in Hollywood" but i was NOT prepared for the level of his performance, the commitment for this role. Needed more than 23 minutes of screen time. 2- *Rebecca* on my second watch i realized how good she was, the control over her voice, her lines delivery, her aura and eyes' expressions. She absolutely nailed it. I'm really interested in watching more of her stuff. She's amazing. 3- *Timothee* i feel like his acting on the first part was a bit muted, i enjoyed him more in the second part of the movie. But some lines delivery felt a bit weird, i don't know how to explain it but there's two times where he yells out of nowhere and i felt them too forced? But he was great in the last 30, 40 minutes. He managed to have a different aura, was really good. // *Javier* on my second watch i definitely liked him more, although the comedic parts felt a bit umm... forced. Like they didn't fit in the whole mood of the movie? I'm not saying they were marvel-level comedic relief, that's tiring. At least it wasn't that. But i still felt it was too much at certain times. He did really good, enjoyed his performance, and he really nailed the part. // *Zendaya* - like Timothee, i enjoyed her way more on the second part of the movie, the micro-expressions during some scenes in the last 20 minutes of the movie, great acting (when Paul says he's gonna marry Irulan, her expressions!!! nailed those). But i don't know, the part where she delivers all the lines along "here women and men are equal" etc, the way she delivered all that dialogue, felt a bit different from her character throughout the movie. It felt off to me. But maybe that's me. Still think she was amazing at some parts. All the other characters were great but didn't leave a lasting impression on me.

I really want the Butlerian Jihad trilogy to be turned into a few movies. It explains a lot of how the Dune world became what it is, and you also have the whole AI and machine crusade going on. Sure it's a bit like Terminator, but different since there isn't just the single skynet AI but multiple AI, and a lot of it also takes place in space across multiple planets instead of just Earth. They also go into a few different things that are interesting. For instance there is a great bit about how one of the AI tries to understand art, but no matter what he does and how perfect his paintings he struggles to match the artistic abilities of humans. Eventually that drives the point home that AI can't replace everything that humans can do. Ultimately in a way that culminates in the fact that the humans win the war because of the discovery of spice. No matter how good an AI is it has massive disadvantages against humans that can see bits of the future and navigate faster than light travel successfully.

I'm all in. Hands down. Great films. I hope they keep it up... and yes I will be seeing it again.

This is the best character of Austin for now. He overcame even Elvis, turned absolutelly in a beast forged in the hell of hatred to The Atreides

Loved Butlers performance. So much so I actually thought he was one of Skarsgards sons with the way he mimiced the barons accent. That being said I didn't see that kiss as incestious at all. Although I didn't see Lynch's Dune for that way more sexual context, I feel like its known that people kiss each other on the lips in different cultures.

Jesus Christ, I just reailzed he played Elvis too lol, what a range! Damn

Most fans of the Dune series wouldn't be upset - however, fans of Dune who are also fans of Rendezvous With Rama would indeed be upset because there has been talk of Villeneuve directing a movie adaptation of Rendezvous With Rama, and Rendezvous With Rama is the greatest science fiction story written that does not have any movie adaptation at all - and Villeneuve is one of those guys who has the ability to do this story real justice as a movie.

Kissing someone on the lips is not always a romantic thing, in other cultures people do it all the time for other sorts of affectionate reasons. I just saw it as a different cultural thing with the Harkonnens.

I took it as a nod to how the Baron is described in the book - a gay pedophile.

just saw this movie and Austin killed it

lol, Denis Vilnuv. Feyd was incredible in this iteration, I loved sting in this role but Butler was very well chosen. Also, Feyd can't be in the Schools of Dune series, his parents werent even born then.

2:38 whoa, hold on. just finished reading the book a week ago and the book ends extremely abruptly and has a huge cliffhanger, much more than the movie. it ends right after Irulaan is forced to take the marriage. and it ends with Mother Jessica saying something along the lines of "history will never remember her (Irulaan) as a wife, but will be a concubine that will never know touch or love from the man she's married to, but Chani is currently the concubine that history will eventually know as the wife. who has it worst?" and ends there. It's why people say Dune Messiah is an Epilogue, since dune felt so unfinished at the end. Frank has even stated he ends his books abruptly to keep people wanting more.

As I finished reading it I definetly didn't feel like there could be some continuation to the story or that there were things that needed clering up. I knew there are sequels but the original felt self sustained. Although now that i think about it, I felt a bit weird about how harry potter series ended, when in fact both have such an abrupt ending. Interesting.

Dune part 2 is much more tied with the characterization of Dune Messiah than it is Dune. Dune Messiah is Frank Herbert attempting to fix a fatal flaw, in which he gets too "attached" to Paul Atreides as a good character despite his warnings from before going all like "The Fremen are afflicted by a hero"

this had gone completely over my head :P I'm southern European and thought it was just a kiss in respect

0:29 came like God's Finally Judgement, you don't know the Time or the Hour

I love T Chalamet in Dune 2 However Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha was a show stealer. SO didn't see that coming.

The baron never had faith in Rabban. His plan was always to first inflict Rabban’s stark and crude brutality on Arrakis, and then take him away, replace him with Feyd-Rautha who in comparison would seem calm, stable and sophisticated.

The rest of the Dune series would be amazing

​@@specialk3357it'd be cool if, since 3 will cover Messiah which effectively makes the trilogy Paul's story, they do another trilogy centered around Leto as the protagonist that cover children and god emperor of dune

Well here's the thing. They've already strayed away from the original story. If I'm not mistaken Paul's little sister was supposed to kill the Emperor in Part 2. Shes not even born yet in this version.

In the book, and in the Lynch movie, Alia (Paul's sister) kills the Baron with a Gom Jabbar after the Emperor orders him to kill her.

They kinda turn him more honorable than in the book and first adaption

His performance was really good! Super disturbing, in the way that his character is supposed to be super disturbing. The scene where he slices the throat of two of his concubines (partially shown at 0:29 of this videos) was particularly impactful. We are used to seeing evil people doing evil things for fun in movies, but usually they do it with excessive glee. But for Butler's Feyd character, slicing a sex slave's throat seamed no more impactful as eating a bar of chocolate he bought from a convenience store. Princess Irulan Corrino describes him as a sociopath, but he felt a lot more like a true psychopath! Sociopaths are prone to episode of rage, they can be very neurotic, spiteful, vindictive. Psychopath have very weak emotional reactions in general, they often have sadistic pleasure, but not out of spite. That makes them more terrifying. You can try to avoid the wraths of a sociopath by avoiding to do anything that could offend them, but a psychopath doesn't care about this. The only way to protect yourself from a psychopath is to avoid situation where they would have the ability to hurt you.

@@strayfreckles Thanks for the clarification. :)

good actors know that the only way to get a genuine performance is by rolling with the unexpected. Than there is no acting necessary

idk what it is but them exchanging that line before their fight is so sick

The kiss looked strictly political/ritualistic not unlike how two businessman in our world shake hands to seal the deal. His return kiss reaffirmed the deal and expressed loyalty, gratitude, allegiance. After all there is still power imbalance between the two and the baron must accept some risk that Feyd could back stab him. So Feyd's return kiss was basically, I am loyal, I'm not going to back stab you. It was reminiscent of the TV series.

I mean there’s lot of parents that kiss their children on the lips. If anything it seems like a sign of gratitude

He took "Kiss me quick" quite literally

The black and white scenes are great.

He was easily the best parts of Villanueve’s DUNE. Zendaya dragged down the entire production, it could have been a good movie if she wasn’t so keen on playing such spiteful and obnoxious harpies. I still prefer the Sci-Fi miniseries of DUNE and Children of Dune, but those segments on Geidi Prime, with the Harkonnens along with the turbulence and difficulty of riding the Shai-Hulud looked really interesting and impressive. Zendaya played Zendaya, not Chani, she played an insecure sociopath not an assured and confident warrior woman that knew she had the heart of Paul.

DUNE should had been done in a series like GOTs. Movies, not even these recent ones do any justice to the extensive details of the novels. I even believe that DUNE would be better adapted to an Anime style series like Castlevania and the team that animated the show. As it stands, DUNE 1984, SyFy DUNE 2000, and and DUNE Villenueve are all imperfect interpretations, but each one has their beauty and appeal and their interpretations... Unique, to say the least.

Not only did Feyd kiss his uncle. The smirk he gave to the crowd and most likely the audience was very “how’s your impression of me now?” It’s scary to be a fan these days. You never know what you’re worshipping till it’s too late.

I think that scene is not all that bad, compared to David Lynch's Baron, probably the grossest Baron ever created.

In my culture (until end of the 20th century...about) it was pretty normal to kiss your relatives in the lips as a greeting or a congrats if you both male (women usually kissed on the cheek). I mean... nothing creepy in this.

I hope they continue the the Dune universe!!!

The kiss didn’t bother me at all. It felt very authentic. If that was truly improv it paid off perfectly.

I loved the scene. I think Denis V. should angle to do a prequel trilogy following dune part 3. Featuring a strong female lead in the character of Serena Butler is right up Hollywood's game plan. And highlighting the fight against AI is fitting for the times we live in.

Not every fan is against Brian Herbert's Dune books. I've read most of them and I think his father would be proud of the continuation of his story...

If you don't consider possessing Alia a major part...

I think Children of Dune is possible to make but likely as a series, and also I really think that if people were to read the Brian Herbert stories adaptations into graphic novels they'd change their opinion on those stories. Those are amazing so far. The origin story of Duncan Idaho and Leto the first. Also, Gurney and his family.... The comics' House Atreides' and "House Harkonnen" are both amazing so far.

Honestly loved that scene. Definitely something Feyd would do and in line with the subtleties in the book.

In the book the Baron planned to use Feyd as a savior figure who would liberate the Fremen from Raban's brutality.

"Not to spoil anything..." proceeds to spoil everything :(

Brian Herbert wrote a book that is right after Dune and before Messiah. This should be the move.

loved both films just wish they included more of the over all mysticism and stoicism of the sisterhood, also paul killed with a word, but otherwise good over all :)
