@@TheAxtonman The fremen spread out in fanatical legions after the events of Dune as Paul had seen in his visions and they kill and take over in his name, leading to the deaths of 61 billion people.

[@SurelyYewJest]

@@TheAxtonman The next two books should be read to appreciate the flow of the story, but TL;DR it's detailed in Dune Messiah (especially) and Children of Dune that the Fremen legions from Arrakis and the Fremen Fedaykin death troops spread out to bring Paul's jihad to the rest of the populated planets in the Imperium, a war that kills ~61 billion people. This movie diverges dramatically from what actually happens in the next two books because "peace" and "love" were not what Paul was after, and he falls into despair over what he caused and became. Paul is a messiah for about 5 minutes before everything goes to shit with his name on it. Oh, he does not cause the rain either. Precipiation eventually happens on Arrakis but it's not because he's a literal god.

[@Korvintage64]

Despite it’s box office failure, I’ve always thought the film a victim of the science fiction purist critics, I still regard as good, but somewhat abridged. However, the many alternative scenes illustrate how much better it could have been .

[@deanfirnatine7814]

I do not think the book purists caused the film to fail, average movie goers did not get a more intellectual film like this in its era just over their head most wanted dumbed down entertainment, plus Hollywood execs forced massive cuts to the film which really hurt its story and the marketing was terrible compared to other high dollar films, so it was a combo.

[@Korvintage64]

@@deanfirnatine7814 I always find it strange that the film became a cult classic after home release. Perhaps because the viewers had more time to study it & appreciate the nuances. Hopefully the soon to be released latest version becomes the success story Dune deserves. If it does perhaps then sequels will be made, st long last.

[@travis1240]

It was a victim of regular critics more than science fiction purists. Also people who weren't into science fiction wanted nothing to do with this movie. It's not nearly as accessible as something like Star Wars.

[@Mumblix]

A book can handle the complex themes and political intrigue of Dune. The huge majority of Sci-Fi movie fans want a two hour escape with an easy to follow plot line and lotsa Zoom-Zoom-Zap-Zap.

[@robwebnoid5763]

@@deanfirnatine7814 ... That's true, it was originally planned to either be a trilogy or 2 parts. I'm certain of the 2 parts though, which was discussed when Ridley Scott was the hired director in the late 1970's during early screen writing, a few years before Lynch. Today, the Villeneuve version gives redemption to that 2-parter concept to help flesh out the novel twice as long as the Lynch version. However, I might have preferred a trilogy, but space them out 1 year apart instead of the normal 2 years. Having read the novel in 1983, there is just so much detail to get through, but I do "get it" that a normal viewing audience would probably get bored with the religion & politics in the story as well. It would take a really good script & director to keep the audience watching without confusion or yawning.

I love how for my entire life Patrick Stewart had looked and sounded the same. Amazing man. 😎

[@moffch4319]

I saw Sir Stuart at a Convention. Love him as an actor but he destroyed my belief in him when he panned his roll in this movie. Or at least he stated that “Gods, what a monster!” was the worst line he ever uttered. Personally, I think I would utter something similar if I unexpectedly came face to face with a 500 metre beast.

[@PhoenixStormCrow2000]

I’ve heart it was because of the Spice

[@robwebnoid5763]

@@moffch4319 ... Well you have to remember that Patrick was a last-minute replacement for Aldo Ray, the actor originally cast as Gurney, but Aldo had some health issues (alcoholic) at the time that crept up during the shoot, so he got dismissed/fired. Because of that short a time, Patrick probably did not have enough time to get an emotional attachment to this Dune project, nor that he probably never read the novel.

[@moffch4319]

@@robwebnoid5763 Don’t get me wrong. I love him as an actor. He has the formal training and experience to handle anything he puts his mind to. Of course, my taste is not in line with the vast majority. Otherwise De Laurentiis’s Dune would have been the top box office grossing movie of the year.

[@robwebnoid5763]

​@@moffch4319 ... Well the other thing too is Lynch thought he was getting another actor named Patrick Stewart, not this Brit. There was probably no more time to cast another actor as they had to keep production schedule going. Aldo Ray did "look" the part of Gurney, wise, stocky & surly. Perhaps thats why they got Josh Brolin to play the part, because he looks like a mean SOB since Gurney is a military/combat leader. The problem with Dune 1984 is Universal Studios cut it down to 2 hours. Not good for a 400-page novel. It was originally planned as either trilogy or 2 parts (2 parts I'm certain), back when Ridley Scott was hired in the late 1970's during early screen writing. After the cut, it was honed down to 3 hours, then again finally to 2. This really disappointed Lynch & he had to cut a lot out of the script & hence it just turned into a mess for him. He disowned the movie in later years after all the flack he & the movie took. Today, the Villeneuve version gets to redeem that 2-part concept, which is really more reasonable for a long book, although maybe a trilogy may have been more respectful to the length of the story.

[@vincentbatten4686]

Eyeless Paul before heading to the desert: "They really got us in the second half"

[@Wishbringer7]

Yeah, both in Dune and in real life... it seems the human solution to "bringing peace" is to cause more loss of life than existed before, all in the name of "right". It's amazing how many people are so certain they're "right"... and are willing to kill for it. Every time I read Dune or see one of the movies, that point stands out above everything else. Are Paul and Leto the heroes... or are they worse than their predecessors? Although Dune is science fiction, it very accurately portrays the atmosphere of real life: several "houses" all controlling the lives of their citizens... or else.

[@jws1272]

I love how Paul tells Shaddam that Irulan will be his wife so an Atreides can take the throne, but still promises Chani that (voice of Steve Perry) "I'm still yoooooours........Faithfully!!!"

[@se7ensnakes]

“A beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that is is the year 10191. The known universe is ruled by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam the Fourth, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice Melange. The spice extends life. The spice expands consciousness. The spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4000 years, use the orange spice gas, which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the universe without moving. Because the Guild controls all interplanetary travel, they are the highest power in the Universe. The Spice also plays a very secret role in the Bene Gesserit sisterhood, of which I am a part. The sisterhood has been interfering with the marriages, and the children thereof, of the great Houses of the Universe, cleverly intermixing one bloodline with another to form the Kwisatz Haderach, a super being. They plan to control this super being and use his powers for their own selfish purposes. The breeding plan has been carried out in a strict manner for 90 generations. The goal of the super being is in sight. But now, so close to the prize, a Bene Gesserit woman, Jessica, the bound concubine of Duke Leto Atreides, who has been ordered to bear only daughters, has given birth to a son. Oh, yes. I forgot to tell you. The spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe. A desolate, dry planet with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Fremen, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come, a messiah, who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune.”

[@kelleysmith6146]

I don't know why there was so much hate for this movie? There have been remakes (sci-fi channel) but none really measured up to this version. Frank Herbert gave us a dark, brooding vision of the universe whose denizens had endured endless wars, religious fanaticism, and technological stagnation due to the dangers of AI. I wished they could make better renditions of Herbert's books like Heretics of Dune and Children of Dune. But this version I have on Laserdisc and it's my favorite, no CGI and tasteful special effects.

[@markd6255]

I saw a special screening of this in Seattle with Frank Herbert prior to the theatrical release. I believe this was David Lynch's first color film. Eraserhead and The Elephant Man were the depth of his catalogue at the time. It was filled with his trademark low frequency and irritating sounds to unsettle the viewer subconsciously.

I know I like all of that David Lynchy stuff!

This movie changed my life. I saw it on TV and was completely blown away. Then I read the series. Both a great.

Love this movie. I watch it as often as time permits. This is the first time I’ve seen this. Think they should’ve combined this engine and the ending that was used. Remember, “Never a drop of rain in Arakis.” The whole point was to see it rain. Really well done.

[@brandonhall6290]

Personal taste, I would have ended with Paul and Alia standing together without the rain, and kept the original credits with Take My Hand playing. Overall, good job.

[@Fuchsia_tude]

Yeah, I still feel the "wives" quote is a better way to end it. Just a bit of rearranging of shots here, and no silly bad rain optical effects.

[@brandonhall6290]

The wives quote should be the last words spoken. Switch to epic image of Paul and Alia standing together, have the same music that leads into Take My Hand, fade to credits.

It's a very good scene. All are good actors, in my opinion. Yes, including Sting. Not fond of him, right? Then, he's done his job! Haha ;-P

[@KutWrite]

Eh... He overacted. "I will kill him" x 30. Bad & dumb fight scene, too.

[@chevydryden4508]

Sting s acting is actually great

[@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289]

Sting was awesome in this movie, honestly. Feyd Rautha is much more disturbing and neurotic in the book, in my opinion. Sting sells his personality very well. However, he was toned down quite a bit for the movie. The Baron, his Uncle, was more sadistic than outwardly disgusting, and HR Giger really needed to do the concept design on their planet, like they originally planned, because Giger wanted to make the Harkonens very accurate to the book. It's a shame they were made more physically disgusting than sadistic and psychotic.

[@gaztintin3537]

This is a film worthy of a trilogy treatment instead of a single film

[@mariaduffner3447]

A detail left out of the movie that Lady Jessica was the full blood daughter of Baron Valdimir Harconin

[@NealCEdwards]

Yeah, I've loved this for over 30 years, but never could get into the books, so it was weird when I found out a few months ago that she was the Baron's secret lovechild...

[@skepticalfaith5201]

I didn’t remember that. I DO remember that Jessica went against the order when she had a boy instead of a girl. The girl would have married Feyad and THEIR son would have been the Kwisatz Haderak. That was why Paul was tested with the Gom Jabber - to make sure he wasn’t “a monster”.

[@kuririn1975]

It was revealed she is the second offspring the Baron. Her mother Mohiam blackmailed the Homosexual Baron into a sexual encounter which produce a somewhat ugly girl. Then the Baron raped Mohiam and that union produced Jessica

The original movie gave out small book that contained glossaries and the names of the characters written in it for the moviegoers. I was one of them! But alas, I lost mine! I would give a great deal for one of them; even for a glance and copy! I give the poster 10 STARS for putting this up here! I hope that you're not snagged by KZbin for playing copyrighted material, because this is definitely worth money. It's only available in certain circumstances.

[@SKEptic-mg2dd]

Hearing the thoughts of the characters always struck me as off putting, like Lynch was saying, "It was in the book so I've got to get it in somehow." Other than that, a great visual experience. Herbert is said to have set out to create a different world(s). It's ok to read about such rich detail, but visually slows things down. Hope the new one just assumes an audience that either already knows or wouldn't care about things as knowing how to put on a stillsuit without being shown, that and they went too far on Harkonnen pustules and appetite for freshly picked cow tongues.

1984 DUNE is an EPIC MASTERPIECE! Now revered with a cult-like following. I fear the remake will fall short. Lynch's version has set the bar high. Most remakes are never able to outshine the originals.
