Thank you! Glad you enjoyed my efforts.

Thanks I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks I’m really glad your enjoyed it. Yeah Frank Herbert’s world building is full of in depth meaning which I love exploring.

I haven't watched the second movie much to allow it to impact me more so that I can make meaningful, sincere and honest conclusions when I watch it fully. I will be reflecting on Jessica and including those thoughts in my ultimate dune part one and two review. I've heard people say that they notice a complete change in characters post water of life so we will see. I do wish she was more motherly, there's a scene that was cut where she hugs Paul goodbye instead of using the voice when she says, "all of us" to him. I would have preferred the hug. We needed to see that his loving mother was still in there.

@@secretsofdune she orders her servants around using the voice, I doubt she needs to do that. Don't like the north vs southern fundamentalist aspect either or the division with Chani. Overall I like Denis' version of Dune but of course as an avid book fan I have to nit pick :p

@@Zennofobic completely understandable.

I think you've misunderstood what Frank Herbert did. He placed Zen along with Sunni "Zensunni" for the Fremen because he came to the conclusion that there is a lot of good in the Islamic faith, so much so that it is similar to the Zen in Zen Buddhism. He wouldn't have done that if he found Islam to be Luciferian and he certainly wouldn't have attached Islam to Zen Buddhism if he thought so, as he fond of Zen Buddhism too.

@@secretsofdune what I found most strange was that the Zensufi we're villains after all.. I was thinking of Sufism as a redeemed form of islam.

@@secretsofdune also fun to think what he could have done with Mahayana 😅

@@nizanklinghoffer4620 That must be something from the expanded Dune books because I only know of Zensunni and the Tleilaxu were Sufi-Zensunni. I think the Tleiaxu are probably the most misunderstood group. They do have some questionable practises though.

I missed that too.

The women surrounding Jessica are supposed to be Sayyadinas too, something I don't really agree with as it removes the exclusivity and importance of Jessica's role. I'll probably go more into detail on that in my future ultimate review. As for the conception, I'm not entirely sure but if memory serves, it was a planned event but I think that information was from the expanded Dune books, not Frank Herbert's original 6 books.

​@secretsofdune in the expanded universe, Jessica was Mohiam's second child- the first child that Mohiam had by the Baron was born with a birth defect and so was euthanized; angered by her use of blackmail to get him to conceive a child for the BG's plans the first time, the second time around became an entirely non-consensual encounter thanks to Piter de Vries' help- Jessica was the result

It is awry like uh-rye as in astray? I didn't know it was meant to be that word. Thanks for bringing it to my intention. That's embarrassingly wrong haha.

@@secretsofdune There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Every single thing every one of us knows, we learned one bit at a time. The point is to get it right (keep learning), not to BE right. And that's what you're doing. "The best laid plans of mice and men go oft awry." Or in the original Scottish: "the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley." See, now you know!

Thanks for watching! I will do!

Did I say plural or male form? I honestly can't remember. If so then you are right of course! I did say that Sayyidina means "our master" though, I remember that. But this is still a great comment. Thank you for nit-picking, corrections are important.

​@@secretsofdune At 10:11 it says Sayyid is the singular form of Sayyidina, which in Arabic is incorrect (in that Sayyidina is not a plural form, it is correct that Sayyid is singular) but may be correct in Chakobsa which is why I mentioned it was confusing for me. Sayyid is "master" and Sayyidina is "our master". Sayyid Abu Baker = Master Abu Bakr while Sayyidina Abu Bakr = Our Master Abu Bakr. I should've included that in my original comment, my bad! Like I said, just nitpicking. Love your content and the deep dives into the Arabic origins.

@@kigas24 I meant to write male form not singular. Thanks for the correction, luckily I can blur that mistake out which I will do.

It may be that way in Chakobsa, there really isn't much info on Chakobsa itself in terms of how the language functions. I would say it is almost exactly Arabic and works like Arabic, so yeah. I was actually meaning it from the Arabic sense, not the Chakobsa sense. Thanks for bringing that to my attention though and thanks for watching, appreciate it.

He was very well read and loved Middle Eastern history. It definitely shows in his world building.

Glad you think so. Just trying to show how "deep the rabbit hole goes."

Istislah!!! 😍

We will surely all post as long as we breathe lol!

@@neilmurphy966 Thank you!

@@secretsofdune an idea I had was if u looked into the Chakobsa in Part Two eg the words Paul uses for "Green Paradise" etc.. there must be Arabic roots? But also imo I thought I heard some ancient Egyptian etc 😍

@@neilmurphy966 The Chakobsa in the movies is an abomination 😅 video coming on that soon. Basically no Arabic in it apart from the odd one here or there "Mahdi" etc.

Yeah one of my theories was that the Sayyadinas post Bene Gesserit manipulation knew of the Bene Gesserit manipulation and carried on the tradition knowing that, so they perhaps used Bene Gesserit teachings which were passed on from that Bene Gesserit who seeded the culture.

Thank you for letting me know. Even though I premiered it at least half an hour early, it’s sad to hear that. KZbin has been declining though for me. Low view count, no notifications to subscribers, no monetary gain at all. It’s been tough trying to keep this ship afloat. I’m still trying my best though. I will make extra posts on KZbin in the community tab just in case before premiering next time.

@@secretsofdune it's terrible. They suspended me this week for alleged hate speech, never told me what I said. ( I can only guess but it wasn't anything you would think was hateful) ( something political, something involving a child I said was inappropriate) But creators and users are unhappy. I was just speaking with a lady , somone was taking her content whole and claiming to be her. She is not monetised, this person is ( no help from team KZbin) Or another was demonstrated, gor mouths and got it back then partner program, then lost it for the same thing meeting all the tos and still getting punished. Several good creators I'm aware of have quit or gone to different platforms. One guy he built a very successful channel. Grew incredibly quickly and then they used atomics. 30 k yo nothing.. his heart was broken he said what's.the point He comes on friends channels friends livestreams with his personal account

@@shanenolan5625 Really sorry to hear that. Have you been able to get it back? It's becoming incredibly difficult and toxic to creators now. What happened to that 30k account exactly? They shut it down completely?

@@secretsofdune thank you , yes I made a ? Complaint. Wrote them and git it back , about 30 something hours later Oh it definitely can be toxic or behind the scenes drama . Backbiting envy This guy , he did books , gammer of thrones a bit of star wars. He worked with other channels like editing or clips. Often to help friends. There would be endless copyright problems . Fair use stuff. Reused content nonsense. He still works with other channels. Like he has friends with small channels. But most have day jobs or family commitments time is often the enemy part of it is interest or fun and community which they can't take away from you. Support from people donations or encouragement helps. Part of him just enjoys the subject It's just mske it work financially is a bitch or the engagement. Or shadow banning. It sounded like he had tried to get it back and keeps getting rejected. Somone else was doing very well , gave a personal political opinion. That they said breaks community guidance or tos . Which is very vague it was Pete in the sky . They removed it and anything like it made no difference. Gibe a little power to certain people or bureaucracy ( Frank had a lot to say about that )

@shanenolan5625 thank God you got it back! I’ve had several months of demonetization and lost a lot because of their stupidity, all of this stunted growth due to algorithm issues etc I probably would have reached 100k by now. I might have to consider moving elsewhere myself in the end or just make videos on Patreon. Really sad how they push people away from the platform.

I believe the Fremen kept historical record through oral traditions too which makes it interesting.

@@secretsofdune Dune seems to show how history can be a competition to tell the most complete and accurate.. and how unstable the truth can be, as Irulan states. 😉

@@secretsofdune he or she who controls the narrative has the real power.. events in today's age can confirm this 😉

Thank you Jeni, glad you enjoyed it. These deep dives are more in line with the book I'm writing on Dune to help navigate the world that Frank Herbert put together.

Very kind of you thank you. Yes that’s true!

Yeah, Dune is a hybrid of all sorts of religious symbolism and ideas, which makes it really interesting. Most sci-fi seems to assume that religion will just disappear, but as history, and even some current events tell us, this is a foolish notion.

@@Rauruatreides The Force from Star Wars is likely to agree with you and I guess there's even a connection between Prana Bindu and Jedi abilities.

Baby Yoda on the Seeing Stone knows best.

🤔the book makes it pretty clear that he didn't as it says the risks of assassination were too great..hence his reliance of the three great teachers; imo his isolation like that makes him more susceptible to the experiences on Arrakis..he seems to yearn for company and he is readily drawn to female company ie Chani.

No, he had no friends. His only friends were really his mentors who were older than him. The closest thing to a friend would have been Duncan Idaho, but he was not his age.

Remember that Paul was already dreaming about the Fremen - especially Chani - when he was on Caladan. His future was seemingly already prepared. Plus he knew instinctively how to fasten his stillsuit at the ankles. My guess is that he had experienced a previous life or lives on Arrakis. Being alone with his mentors & master teachers, including his mother, allowed him to fully engage in his training. This prepared him for his life on Arrakis.

While there is a schism in the Dune fandom between Franks original books and encyclopedia Vs Brian's and k. Anderson's extended universe and I'm firmly on one side.... There's allegedly a book where pre-dune Paul Atreides runs away to join a space circus and probably makes many friends and learns some important lessons about "girls", growing up, responsibility and friendship.

In the book, no. There was only one exclusively chosen Sayyadina, making her very important. The films changed that for whatever reason.
