1.) *_Thufir Hawat, expanded_** ~* Some expanded context/explanation(s) for those less familiar with Dune (novel), and to understand about Thufir Hawat... - a.) (2:03) *_"Three generations of...you..."_** ~* Thufir Hawat had served House Atreides for *over ONE HUNDRED years* (and Hawat was not a young man when he started his service to House Atreides); from Paul's grandfather ("the Old Duke"), to Leto Atreides (Paul's father), and to Paul Atreides himself, with unquestionable loyalty, unswerving dedication, and unblemished honor. - b.) *_Mentats vs. Love_** ~* Mentats are supposed to (but not 'strictly' required to) hold themselves above (or apart from) _"simplistic"_ human emotions and desires that could/would distract them from their Role as advisors and intellectuals on the intergalactic political stage. Put another (simpler) way, _'Mentats were Star Trek Vulcans, before there were any Star Trek Vulcans.'_ *;)* - c.) *_Thufir Hawat & Love_** ~* Despite this (above) Mentat doctrine, Hawat deeply loved the Atreides family, loving Leto Atreides like a son and greatly respecting him as the Duke Atreides, and loving Paul Atreides both as family ("grandson") and for what Hawat believed could be a viable successor to his Atreides' Mentat legacy. For the last factor (Paul), Hawat knew his time/life was nearing its end, regardless of any Harkonnen plots _(over 100+ years, remember?),_ and had hoped to impart his Mentat training and secrets onto Paul, who exhibited Mentat-level mental skills and capability (Hawat not knowing of Paul's destiny as the Kwisatz Haderach). 2.) *_Deleted Scene(s)_** ~* I really wish they had included this in the film, watching Hawat's death in this (extended) scene (1:31) always makes my eyes moist with the emotional weight of its meaning _(Loyalty to the end)._ Hopefully someday we will get a Dune film that can fully express the deep *_Love_* and unbreakable *_Loyalty_* that House Atreides inspires. Thanks for uploading this, *Reid.* :)

I wish they had included Thufir’s exit line: And then, she records, Hawat turned in. a magnificent gesture to face the emperor, extended his left hand, palm up, to expose the needle cupped against his fingers, and said, "See, Majesty? See your traitor's needle? Did you think that I who've given my life to service to the Atreides would give them less now?"

This is, and always has been, one of the great Sci Fi movies. People that go on about it being a failure exhibit a failure of imagination themselves. The design is incredible and the desert scenes rivalled only by Laurence of Arabia in their sense of scale. It is also one of the most quotable films I have ever seen and, as a life long comic enthusiast, the scenes where various characters thoughts are heard always reminded me of the way thought bubbles are used in comics.

Imagine if HBO did Dune as a series the way they've done GoT? With ten or twelve hours they could do so much more with the story.

[@Radb707]

I think Scifi did a fine job with their mini-series, and especially Children of Dune. Love the soundtrack to that one, and Leto's tragic story.

[@minxlabrada]

The book is so intensely detailed and there are so many deep characters, that's the only way to do it.

[@Erik-vp5bm]

I found it kind of hard to get immersed into the miniseries, there was quite a few things that could have been done better. Missing sound effects, especially during fights, cheap overall look and feel (too obviously filmed inside in a lot of scenes), and it looked like they had robbed an opera house for the costumes. Children of Dune is fantastic, though.

[@TheRusty]

For the budget Sci-Fi had to work with, the miniseries is amazing. I don't even mind the obvious painted sets, becuase it gives the series a stylistic look that actually comes out very nice. Children of Dune was better, in my opinion, granted, but the Dune series was still great - betterthan the snoozer David Lynch came up with. The problem with the Dune series, for me, was the re-usage of footage. Every fight scene in it is exactly hte same Harkonnan stooges going flying in front of a pyrotechnics blast. Surely htey had a little more in the budget they could have used? Second problem in both the series is the casting of Paul. Alec Newman is a fine actor, don't get me wrong.. .but Paul Atreides just isn't "bad boy from a boy band" material, which is how Paul came off in look and mannerism in the series. Well. Up until his "unwashed prophet" role.

[@blaxpoitation8528]

Brian Garrigan Late, but still... Legendary Entertainment Studios has bought the rights to Dune. So it cld be that we'd get Dune movies/series (a LA GoT) in the near future.. hopefully

[@craigmurrayauthor]

This movie, the actors, the characters, the dress, everything about it was to me, Dune. I remember when it came out, seeing it in the theatres. Most people that did not get it had never read the books. They were looking for some simple, straightforward space cowboy thingy. I think were they able to put it out in 3 parts, with the time and money, it would be unbelievable, perfect.

[@randaljbatty]

I read Frank Herbert's "Dune" when I was 17. That was many moons ago. But it definitely left an impact. Herbert mastered the art of creating an alternate universe via science fiction. When the movie came out, my friends were completely befuddled. They had no idea what was going on. I had to explain things -- just as I had to explain much of what occurred in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey." "Dune," like "2001" are things you need to digest rather slowly. Herbert introduces so many concepts that, heaped together in any movie, would seem incomprehensible and thus off-putting. I admired David Lynch's attempt, as I admired the SyFy channel's attempt to bring this alternate universe to screen. Both have good points and some bad, but they were earnest efforts. I think that the SyFy channel may have been more on target but less visually dramatic. And I liked how they thread in "Children of Dune." To do the story justice as a film would require probably eight hours for "Dune" alone. It's really that complicated.

[@randaljbatty]

Yeah, the SciFi channel mini-series was able to devote a lot more detail to the saga. I don't know what you mean by my "Demi God upbringing." I'm not taking it as an insult -- I simply don't understand the reference. Is it a reference to my respect for all forms of religion -- even those now considered to be pure mythology? No big deal, but maybe you can elaborate upon that statement.

Just watched a fan edit here on KZbin that made it a 3 hour movie with some of most intelligent editing choices they couldve made. The result is a trippy but story driven visual epic that captures the feeling of book while still being its own amazing thing. The deleted scenes were readded with touched up audio and its just perfect. Like this is one of my favorite movies, it's up there with the 80s sci fi fantasy epics like Flash Gordon, Conan and Highlander. These films all have this strange colorful tone that you don't see anymore. But this edit honestly made the film far more approachable and complete as an art piece. Very complex and beautiful, the music is just perfect. They tried to make a Star Wars, they ended up making an artistic cult classic. This scene was one a my fave in the end, truly a perfect extra to put a bow on all the chaos up until now.

I had the Dune bubblegum trading cards, which showed Thufir's death and always wanted to see it... When I saw the cut scene on the recent DVD release, I was blown away. It's my favorite scene in the entire movie now. Glad its here on KZbin for easy viewing.

However unfaithful to the book the overall movie might have been, it was still a masterpiece. Adaption done right. The music, the weirding modules, they made it great. Yet to be surpassed, despite more faithful adaptations. Magnificent!

[@robwebnoid5763]

If you want to see a cut of the Lynch version a little bit closer to the book, even with the artistic liberties from the movie still in it, watch the 2012 Spicediver alternative cut. It brings the movie up to 3 hours & there is also a 4k-upscale version. Frank Herbert understood the nature of live-action adaptations, so he was alright with some of the changes, but probably not all of them. I believe he used an idea from the film in a later book, maybe something about the navigators. I only read the first Dune back in 1982 for a school book report. 04/21/24

[@SheyD78]

@@robwebnoid5763 I think I've seen about 3 or 4 versions of it, and the most recent one I saw seemed to change a few things unecessarily/for the worse. Not sure which version it was though, but it did have footage I'd never seen before.

[@robwebnoid5763]

​@@SheyD78 ... For me, the definitive take of the story is indeed the source material, i.e. the books, irregardless of the changes between different movie cuts. As I said, I read the book only once & that was 4 decades ago, heh. If you have already read the book & remember it, you will have to compare which of the 3-4 versions you saw against the book. I do not think I have seen every cut out there, both official & unofficial cuts. I probably saw the TV version, made by Universal Pictures without Lynch & thus that TV cut was despised by Lynch, but I saw that back in the 80's so I have forgotten it. The recent aforementioned Spicediver cut made a decade ago is fan-made but many fans have agreed that it is really good. There was another fan-made edit except this time it was cut as supposedly how Lynch may have wanted the movie & not how it aligns to the book, & that one I have not seen. So for me right now, the Spicediver cut is the definitive one, even if I don't fully remember the story at the source. From what I have read, Frank Herbert used an artistic liberty in the Lynch adaptation that he used in writing a later book, perhaps for Chapterhouse Dune, idk. I have only read the first book. So as you can see, sometimes there is serendipity & a happy accident that comes from these things, because in the grand scheme, it's all just a made-up story anyway. 04/22/24

I borrowed a copy on CD from my local public library. If you want to own the physical CDs, you can order them from Amazon. You can also get downloads from Audible.com or iTunes. There are many audiobook files available for download on the net, but I can't vouch for their quality or safety. You can begin looking by simply Googling "Dune Audiobooks". You'll get a long list of options. Hope this helps. JAMES

I've always thought "history will call us wives" as a tremendously subversive close to the first novel. It suggests, and is fulfilled by Chapterhouse, that in the Dune universe, the true seat of long term power is held by the women. A wonderful dichotomy of female order and creation (the Bene Gesserit), progressing the human race by means of male chaos and destruction (Paul, Leto, Duncan). A kind of ying-yang. Excellent stuff.

I never realised Paul just took the Emperor's princess daughter, so he could marry her and seize the Emperor's throne. He keeps his true love as his mistress, while using the princess as his queen to give him royal heirs. Man, I had no idea Paul was such a hard bastard but it makes more sense that he would have to be.

[@alphaseinor]

Dune Messiah shows how much the Princess Irulan hates Paul, and even tries to prevent Chani from getting pregnant by poisoning her. Eventually she does produce a novel (spoken about in the original Dune book) that I feel she considers her offspring from Paul If you haven't read it, it's the same "intelectual level" as the original dune, but the story is very slow to start. Highly recommended if you liked Dune.

If I were a gazillionaire like my Gates, I would maybe personally fund a full remake. One that cut no corners, and lived up to the potential of the book and lasted as long as it needed to be to fully and accurately translate the story to the screen, and to keep it just as visually 'fantastic' as this one was to me as a child when I first saw it. I'd also maybe fund Neuromancer so that it can finally be brought to the big screen also. I think it's about time, "we have the technology" to make the effects, plus I'm getting old.

In which case, I suggest you get the funding to make a letter by letter movie adaptation. Theme and title only eh? Then you intentionally refuse to see the movies, both their content and reach.

I was totally fascinated by the movie, but didn't know it was a book until I was in my late teens.

[@OpusBuddly]

The Barron was a goddamn joke. I hate David Lynch for that. The weirding devices were stupid, I agree, but I think I understand why Lynch invented them for his version of Dune. Without going deeply into the Weirding Way the devices saved time and had a greater visual impact to the average movie goer who'd never red the book.

[@Muck006]

They simply didnt have enough money to train everyone to be a really good martial artist (whithout making it look like Karate or Kung Fu) AND the whole war would have taken much longer to film, because you would have to explain why they dont use lasers and why the Baron used conventional guns for his sneak attack. I think there is enough film material for 3,5 hours ... but the war would have made that even longer.

History will calls us wives. That ending is the best, I remember watching this ending on regular tv, many years ago in the early 80s on tv. Back then, so me tv channels would get copies of whatever tapes were sent to them. Sometimes, some channels would get the long version with extra scenes. Like the Superman extended tv version. Or the alternate William Friedkin The Exorcist tv version he edited. Some channels would get tv edited horror movies versions Like Halloween and Halloween, Return of the Living Dead, etc. But the Dune I saw was this version, the long extended one. It was one of the best tv experiences I ever had. I sat there for three hours with limited tv commercials and enjoyed to the max. How ch. 20 in Houston was allowed back then when it first started as a new channel to air so many movies with R rated content back then for tv, still amazes me. Dune became my favorite sci-fi movies, and I don't care what people say. By the way little girl should have been given an Oscar for her performance, she was that good.
