One thing to add - the cool ass black and white scenes you are talking about were shot with an infrared camera, not a black and white camera. So it’s not normal b&w, it’s super b&w. It is also why you see the black bene gesserit hoods turn stark white when they change scenes. Absolutely fantastic

[@qru9046]

All the giedi prime scenes were "absolutely fantastic" and then some.

[@neltins5308]

Yeah the whole movie was just purely amazing cinematography, I don't know the last time I've sat through a movie that didn't treat me like I was some little kid that had to have exposition for everything, it made the universe feel so alive & real, breath-able, all the suspense & stakes were so powerful, possibly the best film in 2024 already released. Paul felt full peak GoT season 4 energy when he said he would take the emperor's daughter, and he'd be lucky to have his head. We need a Part 3 & Part 4, this is how the Rings of Power & the new Star Wars films should have been, now we know why Anakin hates sand so much its because its better than space operas.

[@theangrydweller1002]

To me personally it was crazy because it’s almost exactly how I imagined it when first reading the book. Because the hole book takes place on dune my mind just imagined it to be black and white out of a lack of description, but even the walls of the fighting pit where similar to how I would have imagined. The only difference is I imagined it being darker and the pit to be circular and a bit bigger.

[@davellii6309]

I'm gonna try to keep out the spoilers so i hope anyone will know what i'm talking about, am i tripping or in the final act when Paul finds out something pretty crucial about his heritage and bloodline, does the color grading go more monochrome/decrease in saturation to support that plot point?

[@JonFredFrid]

I didn’t know that scene was black and white because my theater had a huge magenta spot in the middle and a green area from top to bottom on the right. Kinda sad I didn’t get to see the movie how it was made to be seen. Shoulda asked for my money back.

I honestly really loved how brutally quick and unemphasized deaths were. It always kinda frustrated me how drawn out fight scenes get to kill off important characters, especially when that character wasn't even a fighter at any point in the story. These quick deaths display a certain brutality in war, show that no matter how big and important you are you can die in an instant.

[@magiv4205]

I feel like the sound design and the music in general were better and much more unique in part 1. But that's complaining on an incredibly high level, both movies brought their A-game.

Watch this in theaters DO NOT WAIT FOR STREAMING. This movie deserves to be seen on the big screen and you deserve to see it on the big screen. (Obvious due to comments but the sound is what you’re really there for)

[@RiceCubeTech]

Yes and no. Big screen is nice, but if you don’t pay for Dolby cinema or imax or something high end, the image quality and sound stage is ruined a ton, and some people’s at home setups will give better image quality/audio. Either buy the highest end theater experience or hope you have a nice hdr tv with a surround sound system.

[@Plupert]

⁠@@RiceCubeTechif your at home set up is rivaling IMAX or Dolby sound systems I think they can afford to pay for the ticket.

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@Plupert nah I mean you don’t need a crazy sound system to have good bass. Especially in a small room. Just need some good tweeters, a good sub, and some fill. Then the right mixer and you’re golden. Some imax theaters I’ve been to are loud but the sound balancing and quality isn’t that great. Dolby is always a hit but that’s Dolby lol.

[@Plupert]

@@RiceCubeTech all of the things you mention cost a decent amount of money, my point still stands lol. I know zero people with an in depth sound system.

[@RiceCubeTech]

@@Plupert can get a good setup for 800 bucks if you price hunt and find good deals or are willing to go used. Klipsch had a full surround sound system for 1000 bucks that’s incredible. And yeah it’s more expensive than a single movie ticket but cheaper in the long run if you keep it for a long time, you can use it as long as you have it. If you buy a movie you can watch it an infinite number of times vs going to see a movie for 15 bucks every time you want to see it. Plus it can be used for music, watching tv, playing video games etc. things you can’t do in a theater.

@@lilricebowl9731the only other canon explanation I can think of is in the book the baron is obsessed with something called “ebalite.” In the appendix it’s their version of a metal that looks like a mix of ebony and ivory color.

Wouldn’t Arrakis destroy them then? Wouldn’t they be adapted to a different type of light?

[@nobodythisisstupid4888]

I think Paul’s shift in attitude and contradictory behavior make perfect sense in the context of the movie. Imagine getting snippets of a horrible future and having a vague notion of how you are responsible. You’d want to avoid it at all costs. But if you can suddenly see the whole future in multiple different timelines, you can come to accept some of those horrible things in an ends justify the means type way. I feel like gaining the power Paul gets from drinking the worm poison would drastically shift anyone’s behavior and outlook on things. With that power of foresight, he has fully stepped into his role as a messianic figure and knows how he must act to accomplish his goals. Before he was scared but fear is rooted in uncertainty. Once he discovers what will happen he no longer fears the future and acts accordingly.

Its suppose to feel like the aftermath of a war where things are super bleak and miserable.

[@nickywags0712]

It wasn’t an accurate adaptation of the book but it was faithful as all hell. It really emphasized the terror and negativity that comes with a messianic figure like Paul while the novel doesn’t make that distinction super clear until the following books. Chani being more of a foil that loves Paul but fears his status is a great addition as well

[@willmungas8964]

I think the movie made the right changes in the right places because Denis Villeneuve is a Dune fan who gets that part of the books. He made sure to really hammer in the message that what is happening is NOT good ultimately and I loved that. A general audience is going to understand this theme rather than thinking Paul is a traditional hero. Chain having this tension with him is a really interesting change that adds to the message of the source material rather than detracting. The only (minor spoiler warning) gripe I have is … The fact that they don’t include the spacing guild and the way that impacts the ending. (major spoiler warning for the explanation) … This is difficult because the movie needs to stay clear and concise to a general audience, and there’s already a lot of (particularly trippy) things that it juggles extremely well as a visual medium, and it only does that by being very calculated and reserved in HOW things are included. The spacing guild not really being present helps keep the movie clearer for most people, but it does change the dynamic. Spice is important but it’s never really made clear just HOW important it is. Paul’s threat to destroy the spice works in the books because the Guild believes him and can’t see far enough into the future to be anything but terrified. The other Houses are forced to stay back from the battle because the Guild refuses to transport any ship that lands. They initially accept him because the Guild forces it to be so. By cutting them out, the movie focuses so much better on the more important things, especially the Bene Gesserit, but it loses a significant piece of context. It also means the ending of the movie makes a lot less sense, where (as far as the characters claim) every other Great House denies Paul’s claim, and the Fremen immediately go to war. It makes a lot more sense to have at least a tiny mention of the Guild and have a few members present with the Emperor, just like in the book, or to have Gurney clearly state that only some of the Great Houses have denied him. If they all do, then Paul doesn’t have a reason to marry Irulan other than to try to legitimize his rule, and realistically there aren’t enough Fremen to withstand the armies of the entire rest of the Imperium all at once. I think Villeneuve might recognize this before the next movie and provide a tiny bit of correction. After all, a Navigator is a central character in Messiah, and Villeneuve has also proven that he can make some changes to best fit what will and won’t work with an audience through the differences in this movie and the last one. Its only a minor gripe anyway because 1: it’s kind of my nitpicking book-fan level of examination that gives it any significance, 2: the rest of the movie was utterly incredible, and 3: I do believe Denis will actually find a correction for this in Messiah.

[@mewface1177]

I'm worried about how part 3 is gonna be because of how different they made Chani

[@Brew78]

It's kind of weird - they kept the theme, but changed the plot outright. Who didn't drug the combatant and why. The geopolitical/religious situation of north/south. Paul and Chani's relationship. Paul's sister. Paul's relationship with his mother. His mother's motivations and actions. The Great Houses' reaction to Paul's ascendance. The list goes on and on. This is no simple "they had to make changes for the big screen", this is more of a sci fi movie loosely based on a book of the same name. To be clear, this was an amazing movie. But I think it's best to imagine that it's its own independent thing and forget that a book was involved at all. Edit: and because apparently it's not clear, I'm NOT asking questions here, I'm listing some specific changes between the book and movie that alter the plot to varying degrees

And one thing that I feel was missed by a lot of people was how well they used silence.

He knows how to fight and despite him running away in situations depicted as cowardly, he still decides to take on Gurney rather than fleeing. Maybe he could have dispatched his guards to attack Gurney first before his final demise if we think that Rabban was incapable of throwing a couple of missed swings, punches, or what have you.

SPOILER WARNING: I actually really liked the way they killed off the Baron. In that scene, the emperor had already come and humbled him after his attempt to take the throne. He was no longer a threat, as Paul is already aiming for the emperor. The Baron is an afterthought to him almost, and he executed him like an animal, he only really killed him to avenge his father. His death feeling inconsequential and not that hype I think is purposeful and meaningful. Though I’m curious what others think.

[@arenkai]

Same ! It really conveyed the brutality of war. The Fremen dominated, they were on THEIR territory, their hubris made them think they could tame Arrakis, and they paid the price. The Baron dying as a pathetic fat man on the steps to the throne, really sends the message that there is no glory to be had in this war.

tbh the book did that scene better. alia (unborn in the movie, sister to paul) slays him with the gom jabbar, proving that he's an animal (think back to gom jabbar and paul). they used the same dialogue but had na-baron slay him due to the lack of alia, who would've been 2 at the time. fucking iconic.

Absolutely. Especially if viewed through the lens of Paul being able to see the future. The death of the Baron is a foregone conclusion. Add onto it the fact that Paul has just found out the Baron is his grandfather so there's not even any honor to it. It's not even much of a revenge. It's just a necessary death. A formality that Paul has to fulfill in order to move on from the first leg of his journey. Paul knows all along on his way to the tent that this is just the first step.

I didn't realize they were doing a part three but I'm so hyped. Since I watched part 1 last week all I've wanted to do is watch it again but I have been restraining myself so as to not over saturate my brain with dune.

[@jessedits_ae.p]

Paul: farts. Stilgar: as written. Paul: SILENCE.

[@Gejokono]

Just saw it last night! CRAZY how good that was. Im loving seeing the progression of Paul although it is scary to see. Impeccable job to everyone who was a part of it!

[@CynicalOptimist99]

Yeah the word to sum up my feelings about Paul is “tragedy” I think, with where his arc is going. The music and his turmoil played so well by Chalamet really sells that he is stuck on this darker path now, and that speech to the Fremen really is icing on the cake

[@Gejokono]

@@CynicalOptimist99 I got the chills watching him give his speech to the Fremen. And wish Jessica saying “slow down” and he kept at it intensely. Ugh the scene was just powerful

[@garad123456]

​@@CynicalOptimist99exactly I feel like this is some greek tragedy, instead of adventure film. thats why some people are complaining about the ending

[@JoeKawano]

"You paid for the whole seat but you only need the edge." 😂 0:56

[@birdog23]

The battle scenes were incredible. I wish there was more mind control.

[@MrFiddleedee]

Perhaps the din of battle makes it hard to use the voice?

[@ch33sie_123]

I loved the part when Rabban Harkonnen says "Maybe the real spice was the friends we made along the way." It really hit me. 😔

[@cooksay]

I’ll always hold the sentiment that at its core, that both the movies are much better after reading the book, there’s so much details and inner workings that you get a full understanding of

[@franciscomontiel7994]

Dude seeing alia was beautiful. The messiah do gives me hopes to close an unique trilogy

[@akr12877]

As a book reader, I loved it but there were a lot of my favorite parts cut out of the movie. Also Paul’s and Chani arc made more sense in the book because there was a big time skip and they were actually married and had children which make Paul’s actions justifiable later on. Thufir Hawat vs Jessica arc was completely cut from the movie not to mention Alia as well. I wish if there was an extended cut like LOTR.

[@sammykent5752]

I actually loved the changes to Paul and Chani's relationship and thought it made a lot more sense in the movie. Keep in mind in the books Chani is enthralled by Paul and believes in him as the Lisan Al Gaib right from the beginning. Their relationship always felt weird to me simply because of that. Here it's a lot more natural. Also I felt really weird at the end when Chani just accepted to become Paul's concubine. That felt weak to me (I haven't read Dune Messiah yet, so please don't spoil if they address this in the next book) especially considering how strong her character was at the beginning. I love the new way her character is framed in the context of the Fremen as a whole. She's from a younger generation that doesn't believe as much. She loves Paul for Paul, she loves the warrior, the young honourable man fighting just like she is and who is her equal. She would even accept Paul as a leader. But the religious Messiah who drives her people into fanatism is who she rejects and as the movie develops we see Paul having to take on the role more and more. Thuffir Hawat could've definitely been cut honestly. Alia is a weird one.

[@Milk7ss]

I was looking forward to seeing how they’d implement Alia into the war and everything. Seeing a toddler with such power would’ve been quite entertaining imo

[@Babaganuush]

Just saw Part 2 yesterday, blown away, loved it. However, what Part 2 did to me was show me how much I love Part 1, even more so than Part 2, just because of all that build up and showing us the world for the first time. Talking about stuff lost on screen, I totally agree, which also makes you as a viewer question a lot regarding Mr. Paul and his ways, it almost makes him emotionally cold all of a sudden. But that might be something he has to do in order to become what he needs to become, tough to explain.

[@dansbigfanguitarist]

The visuals, the writing, the acting, and most of all the SOUNDTRACK… it’s a modern masterpiece that I can’t wait to rewatch in the future

[@a.p.e.x3195]

I swear, if I hear “Lisan-al-Gaib” one more damn time, im gonna snap lmao

[@thegreatchipman]

PAUL MAUD'DIB USUL ATREIDES! LISAN-AL-GAIB!

[@spacecream9635]

LISAN AL GAIB

[@0DemonKiller0]

LISAN AL GAIB!!

[@marvira]

this is something the Mehdi would say, Lisan Al Gaib!

[@coughfee_beans]

Part 1 was just slow for the new gen spending all their time on tik tok. I was captivated the whole movie and it was incredible. I can't wait to see part 2 tomorrow night!

[@vvsparis]

P2 was absolutely amazing

[@coughfee_beans]

@@vvsparis Agreed! Saw it last night and it's definitely the movie of the year. There's no director like Villeneuve. This was the only movie I was really looking forward to in 2024.

[@makSyak]

holy crap i just saw it was amazing

[@Enigma75614]

As someone who is fine with slow paced stories, Part 1 was an absolute snoozefest.

[@coughfee_beans]

@@Enigma75614 Sure gen adhd

[@yewstew8312]

Dune is definitely on track to be the 2020’s - 30’s generational Star Wars or Lord of The Rings

[@waltwhitman7545]

1:56 crazy thing was that it was filmed actually in infrared and then inverted and set to black and white, made it so unsettling
