“Here I am, here I remain” is pretty high up there in the list of final words.

[@_ArsNova]

I'm not sure there's a better line of dialogue that could have been written for man in his position.

[@krips22]

Fun fact: It's actually taken from the words of French general P. Mac Mahon, _"j'y suis, j'y reste"_ ("here I am, here I remain" in French), after he and his men captured the Russian redoubt at Malakoff in 1855, during the Crimean War (even though he later said that it was not exactly what he had uttered, but it still remained so in the popular mind). It also became the motto of the 3rd Zouave Regiment.

[@jjax7894]

I found this scene rather unsettling, Duke Atreides doesn't deserve this, he was a noble ruler, but lying there utterly defeated and even stripped naked in front of his enemies is such a violation of his dignity, worse still he died in tears thinking that his entire elite army has been decimated and his bloodline ended, when Paul was actually alive.

[@dogguy8603]

I think that why its an amazing scene. But also a final "fuck you" to the Barron. He went out fighting, he killed many harkonen before he died. Also its a great comparison between the two. The barrons men locked him in a death trap in order to save their own skin. If the Duke was threatened even if it meant certain death for them, his guards would have went in to save their Duke. Its the difference in the honor between the two groups. One follows orders out of fear, the other will die for their Duke, and for their honor

@ktas4624 the shield didnt save the baron. the entire point of the gas is it is slow-moving and will bypass the shield. I am pretty sure this is stated in the movie lol. The shield being on or off means nothing in this regard except to show us that the Baron is very intelligent and still considers Leto a threat.

[@Begalu1]

The Barons instincts and decision making were spot on. He called the doctor a traitor and knew it was better to get rid of him than keep him alive, his instinct to activate the shield instead of what most arrogant people would do in his position, saved his life. Everyone else in that room except the Baron believed that the Duke was nolonger a threat. Alas, the two seemingly least dangerous proved to be the most leathal people in that room. Most important, the Baron knew this and made the right decisions.

[@MercurialStatic]

He feared him so much, even then. A testament to Harkonnen inadequacy.

[@samuelbedsole5089]

Just goes to make the Baron even more threatening. He's not some dumb hedonistic brute like the Lynch version had him portrayed as, he's smart and can sniff out potential threats. But then again, you don't become the second most powerful House in the Landsraad by being stupid.

[@mattbeck9526]

That's why he's the Baron. In the book he was always portrayed as extremely intelligent, ruthless, and dangerous.

[@MooseBear-ob2wh]

while it was smart to raise his shield, the shield didnt do anything for the baron in this scene.

[@samuelbedsole5089]

@@MooseBear-ob2wh It gave him a few extra seconds to get high enough up to where the gas didn't reach. When the gas was unleashed, we see the Baron's shield glow red, indicating something was hitting it. So the gas was going fast enough with enough force for the shield to activate. So while the Baron was injured, unlike the rest of the people who were in the room he's still alive to plot another day.

[@phousefilms]

I'm glad that this version of the Duke actually managed to nearly take the Baron with him. The two others(miniseries and Lynch)just have the Baron get away easily and it makes Leto's sacrifice seem next to meaningless. The fact that it nearly kills the Baron to the point that Harkonnen needs to take the weird bath to recover is epic.

The editing in the conversation between the Baron and Leto is great. We see Paul and Jessica just seconds before the Baron talks about Leto's family being dead and his bloodline ending, creating an immediate sense of dramatic irony. Later, when Leto says "here I am" the film cuts back to show him in that present moment, but when he says "here I remain" it cuts back to Jessica in the tent, signaling that Leto's legacy will still live on. I love when every aspect of a film, from the music and dialogue to the editing, is used in service of the story.

@@squamish4244 true. And the Baron makes a big mistake because of his hubris. He wanted Thufir, but he didn't expect Thufir will remain loyal to the Atreides.

[@squamish4244]

@@sectorgovernor He did expect it, and he must have suspected something of what Hawat was planning, but he couldn't resist Hawat's scheme as presented to him, recruiting the Fremen to fight for House Harkonnen. He must have suspected that this could cause a mutually destructive war between Houses Corrino and Harkonnen, but the prospect of defeating the Sardaukar with Fremen troops was too enticing, especially when Thufir tells him just how many Fremen there are. Yet he is still surprised when Hawat tells him to cut off Rabban. Hawat knows the Emperor is getting suspicious and that House Harkonnen is not ready for a war against House Corrino, so he says, stop supplying Rabban, to ease the Emperor's suspicions. What Hawat does not know is that Paul is leading the Fremen, the Fremen are being trained by Jessica and that cutting off Rabban from reinforcements will allow the Fremen to take over Arrakis.

[@CrimsonAzure-fh6yb]

Lowkey cliche since that didn't happen too long ago in the movie anyways

[@hardkornikow]

i see a lot of people asking about Yueh's motivations and beliefs, so here's an explanation: Yueh recieved a much reduced role in this adaptation, he was a Suk Doctor, conditioned to never harm a person. It was thought so unbreakable, that a Suk doctor was able to operate on the Emperor himself. However, De Vries, as a twisted mentat able to do a LOT of sadistic moves, was able to do the unthinkable, when he realised that a person, even a Suk doctor, could be made to do another's bidding if one of their loved ones was held hostage. But even in the book itself it is indicated that de Vries or at least the Baron, himself was not fully aware on how they had managed to overwrite Yueh's conditioning. Now here comes the thricky part. De Vries seems to have created a necessity for Baron Harkonnen's death in Yueh's mind, however as Yueh's own conditioning prevented him from doing so by himself, De Vries' counter-conditioning pressed Yueh into a situation in which the death of Baron Harkonnen by the hands of another needed to be arranged -this other however could be none else but Duke Leto. In a way in this counter-conditioning the treason on Leto was just a by-product and the necessity of Leto's death to bring forth Baron Harkonnen's death enabled Yueh to overcome his original conditioning and commit treason. That is why he gave Paul and Jessica a way out, as a sort of pennance from his part. Also, it was stated that he pretty much assumed his wife was already dead and dedicated his life to assasinate Baron. Which in the books didn't work not thanks to Baron's shield, but due to Leto's clouded mind and vision he mistook Vries for Baron, giving Baron enough time to leave the room.

[@TheTrueObelus]

The way they handled Dr Yueh in this adaptation was it's one major flaw. His character barely registered. David Lynch's film handled the character far better.

[@copperthebear]

The Last bit is not quite correct but I hope your comment motivates people to read the book. It is full of creative ideas of mind work, expression reading.. very subtle details within short sentences that create a big image ❤

[@SuperNovaJinckUFO]

If you think about it, Yueh never actually breaks his Suk conditioning, he just figures out a workaround. For starters, he never actually kills any of the Atreides family. In terms of Paul and Jessica, he gives them an opportunity to escape, meaning he wasn't truly betraying them. And in the case of Duke Leto, he gives Leto the ability to fight back against the Harkonnens and also die on his own terms. Technically he remains loyal to the Atreides until the end. But this also just paints a cynical picture on the very concept of conditioned loyalty. It doesn't matter to him that he caused the deaths of millions, and put the family that trusted him through immense suffering, all of which ultimately for his own material gain. All that mattered is that he stayed within the arbitrary lines of "don't harm the family you're assigned to". It shows that brain washing and arbitrary rules are no substitute for legitimate moral character.

probably just owing to the blades in Dune being made of fictional materials like 'Damasteel' and 'Plasteel.'

[@shaggygoatboy1125]

@markloggie5127 I doubt it. Those hypercutting materials would make sense for battle swords, not for kitchen knives (unless you want to cut your steak, your dinner plate AND the table underneath). No, I think this is just a case of the director going for something "cool" and "gruesome", while sacrificing a bit of realism. There's no way in hell Vladimir chopped off a whole head with that tiny knife. Let alone in a single motion. He's neither strong nor wielding a lightsaber.

[@kn3448]

It's a sci-fi movie. Things in sci-fi movies don't always make sense and they don't have to. Vlad was able to chop off Yueh's head in one stroke because he's a bad ass villain and, moreover, BECAUSE HE CAN! If you want realism, go watch some videos of ISIS or the Taliban sawing the heads off their victims. And while I'm at it, big fan of Mr Skarsgard as I am, this film was so fucking boring. Even the action scenes were boring. Most of the performances were less interesting than watching grass grow!

[@shaggygoatboy1125]

@@kn3448 Sorry, but that argument ("it's fantasy, it doesn't have to make sense!") is, was and always will be unbelievably idiotic. Just because a story is set in a fantastic context, it doesn't mean you don't need coherent internal rules in order to tell it: suspension of disbelief will only work as far as your worldbuilding can hold it. Ask yourself: would it be believable to see Frodo shoot lazers from his eyes, in Lord of the Rings? No. Why? Because it's nowhere near what a humble hobbit is capable of. Would it make sense to have Harry Potter fly around in an IronMan suit rather than on a broom? No. Why? Because it's nowhere near how flight works in the wizarding world. "Fantasy" does NOT mean "we don't need to make sense".

A detail I liked from the book was that almost as soon as Yueh enters the room to speak with the Baron, Yueh can already tell from his attitude and mannerisms that the Baron lied about his wife still being alive, before it was made clear in words. Yueh wasn't naive. Even if he couldn't have her back, the certainty of knowing she was really gone made him ready for his own death. And he gets some last words in the book, taunting the Baron by hinting at his secret weapon, which leaves the Baron shaken.

[@themarcusismael13]

this perspective is so weird that I see it from so many book fans. it’s a movie, it cannot, as the 1984 version, hold your hand and tell you everything. Denis Villeneuve says as much with how he hates how unnecessarily expository too much dialogue can be. I think this movie shows us all we need to know, not more. And it does do tastefully.

[@jaredkelly7218]

I've gotta be honest. Everything looks and feels amazing, gripping. But I've got no idea what's going on, even after watching the movie.

[@ramshorey3342]

Same happened to me too so I watched Dune 1 and Dune 2 back to back, now I'm able to figure out what's going on so far

[@emperortimeo6467]

The book actually gives a bit a hope in Leto’s last moments. Piter informs the Baron that Paul and Jessica escaped, while in this version Leto simply dies believing they’re both dead

[@Fredric_Cedrich]

Baron just needed to be bigger. Almost like a Jabba the Hutt size monster.

The world of Dune looks terrifying, with wasp-sized assassin drones and a false tooth that can kill a room full of people. Dennis Villeneuve did an excellent job portraying the terror of far-future technology

Dune is a great movie but I hope one thing changes for part 2 and that's the sound. On second its _whisper_ _whisper_ ....... and then.... 🎶!!!!💥💥💥🎶. I know its dramatic effect but it was actually painful in the theater and I cant watch the blue ray when my partner is asleep on the other side of the house because I have to jack the volume to hear them speaking and boom the windows get blown out

[@nichoudha]

I had no issues in the theaters, it might have just been the specific one that you went to.

[@maggs131]

@@nichoudha I'd say maybe but like I said the blueray is the same. I'm nearly certain it's on purpose because Dennis Villeneuve knew he made a phenomenal movie so why not pour gas on the audio. Interstellar was the same way but about 1000% worse. The dramatic musical scores had everyone in the theater white knuckled as we held on for dear life lol

[@----ic6pw]

Typical for most action/horror-ish movies of the latest decades. I don't like it either. Would prefer the sound to be more balanced.

i know that he wanted to say some cold shit before he died but if he just bit the pill and let the poison gas out he would've killed him. clearly proximity wasn't an issue since the gas filled the room and killed everyone else almost instantly

Hold on here. The Baron is Jessica's father right? Making Paul and Feyde cousins... a'ight? So why does the Baron reference LETO as Cousin?

[@duplicitouscanadian3073]

So why didn't Leto just bite down immediately? He could have done so and gotten the Baron without his shield

[@stefanm9265]

Woulda worked if he just did it when the Baron was eating but he got too fancy about it

[@jacktimefilms5824]

True. But I don’t think he knew the range. And the guy who gave him the tooth said to use it when he was close.

If only Leto and the doctor knew that the Barons boys would have a boiling pot of shit to heal him up in. Gotta stay prepared, people.

@@NivNitroX the food from his kitchen. As the Baron said. "you have a really excellent kitchen" he was being literal. It was left out of the movie but the House Atreides had really popular chefs and there was a supposed to be a Banquet with all sorts of politicians.

Remember that the Baron is obese because he eats too much spice, and that spice is an anti-poison, that must have helped . Bonus: to calm down, the baron asks that a drugged boy be brought to his bedroom.

[@hntrl8880]

He doesn't eat spice

[@ragethevictorious3060]

Why didn't the Baron die with the poison tooth ?

[@ramshorey3342]

While Leto was mumbling something and Baton bends to hear his final words he activates a shield

[@SMNBLMRDM]

Gases can get through Shields as per their design (so the user can breathe). The Baron used his anti-gravity device that lets him move to hover above the gas. The shield might've brought him a precious second or two to survive a lethal dose but the poison practically crippled his lungs, hence why he needs the two floating orbs connected with tubes to his body in Part 2 to breathe (and why he begins choking when they're removed by force).

[@Schwartzbruder1]

He only survived the lethal dose. Thanks to the shield. He was cooked for the rest of this movie and all of pt2 and needed that external lung

[@jrallday]

This movie is the shit !

[@ramshorey3342]

Hope you mean that in a positive manner

[@Garrettguy5]

Still can’t decide if this movie is good or not

[@olivercrespo2329]

It’s excellent, but it’s a definitive part one, so it may feel like it didn’t go anywhere. Which is a valid and legitimate criticism, however now that the second one is out it will probably retroactively elevate this movie as well.

[@ramshorey3342]

I rated it average, but it's an incomplete story after Dune 2 you might like it
