[@BlueET3RNAL]

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.

[@oroboros88]

It makes more sense regarding how H2H combat is in Dune as well, quick, complex but decisive, everyone has to be a skilled fighter at the level people are in this to survive

[@sulphuric_glue4468]

@@oroboros88 And realistically melee combat is usually over very quickly. If you watch people sparring in HEMA, bouts that go on beyond even just 1 minute without somebody taking a "lethal" hit are the minority.

Agreed. I disagree with Charlie on this one.

[@Ryan-zd4rv]

Same, especially Gurney killing Rabban.

[@toddmorningstar4206]

I think it's a prelude to the fact that these "bad guys" were not the endgame of this story, merely stepping stones down the good-intentioned path to hell.

[@helloMRdj1]

The part where he walks in confidently to the council in the South of Arrakis, the music implemented there, the people starring at him in disbelief was one of the best scenes for me. It shows his character changed into full confidence mode like "idgaf I can see the future now".

[@phantomBlurrrrr]

yeah that one guy is like you must defeat the previous leader and Paul is like fuck all that, I am in charge now because I say so

I love that the black and white scenes were filmed with infrared instead of being done in post

[@jcalle2]

I was wondering if they did infrared. It looks like it. There's another art film by the guy that did Koyanisqaatsi called Visitors that's all infrared and it's very interesting, looking just like those scenes.

[@gclishe]

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.

[@jordanwhite8567]

Love how they stopped playing background music for the 1v1 at the end. The only sounds are the struggles of the combatants, the knife blades clashing, the flesh tearing, the crowd gasping, the combatants breathing. It was so intense and well done. The decision to cut the music there only added to the scene

[@zaab-yaoh9302]

Yeah but the one thing I hate in movies that they always get wrong is people don’t just get stabbed in the gut and fall over and die. Like that’s so lazy and unrealistic. The bald dude would have still been in the fight after Paul stabbed him, Paul should have stabbed his neck or something afterwards.

[@megavore97]

The sound design and music in part 2 is INSANE. The best theatre viewing experience I’ve ever had.

[@space_1073]

fr. I go to IMAX for the sound more the big screen. Gotta feel all those explosions lol.

[@isabelle.o]

same here!! best theatre experience ever

[@KillaZamii]

music sounded the same as the last movie lol its aight

[@notsure1135]

I reckon the sound design on the second Transformers was the best. Near the start when the ships come out of hyperspace, the bass blast thumping your chest in staccato as each ship pulls its brakes was the best I have heard. Dune is a way better movie of course…

[@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.

[@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.

[@thatwouldbeemily]

beautifully put, helped me better understand the importance/gravity of the worm poison part - thank you!

[@ronbhattacharya3183]

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

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.

[@somewhatrepresentable5207]

Exactly what I was thinking. I read Dune 2 or 3 years ago and I remember a death towards the end being so nonchalant that I had to read the sentence once or twice to make sure I was understanding that a character died

[@Erick-tv8oq]

​​@@zzzzzzzzzz_me To be fair, Leto II's death is the one death that kinda makes sense. They're in the middle of conflict, there's little to no time to mourn. And besides, if I'm not mistaken his son's demise is the one thing that drives Paul to kill Feyd and enter once and for all the "terrible path" laid for him in his visions.

The Harkonnen planet (Giedi Prime) is black and white because its sun shines in the IR light spectrum.

[@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

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.

[@yunhopshii1446]

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.

[@dominokos]

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 was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by dune part 2. Part 1 was great for me, I was invested and really excited to see the second one in theaters. The visuals were incredible in the first and even better in the second, especially the black and white scenes. It was beautiful and gruesome and just really artfully executed. And one thing that I feel was missed by a lot of people was how well they used silence. A lot of movies have scores for almost every scene, where dune only used music sparingly and it was so powerful. The silence works really well with the whole theme about the desert being something to fear (along with worms being attracted to sound).

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.

I would like to clarify Charlie, there will be more movies, however, Part 2 does conclude the first book. The next part will cover the second book, Messiah, which is substantially shorter and should fit in 1 movie.

6:48 Best sci-fi movie of the decade ❤.

why does this guy always give movies 95% but not 100%

[@MCD-XIV]

4:53 if you’re talking about his abrupt acceptance of being the lisan al gaib, it’s because he drink the water of life and saw a LOT of the future which changed his mindset, as it did to his mother

[@noahcroom2100]

As a fan of the book it succeeded my expectations from the visuals to the action sequences and for an almost 3 hour film, you are engaged the whole time

[@namecomingsoon9517]

Paul is running like Morty on the death crystals

[@StringsCrusader]

The reason all the scenes on Geidi Prime look so badass in black and white, is actually because they chose to film those scenes in infrared, with special infrared cameras. I never seen that shit done before in a movie; it's stunning!

[@neutral_narr]

Dune is what the MCU and Star Wars wish it was. It's just an incredible cinematic experience.

[@routinelylazy8682]

My thoughts right. Friend is a big marvel fan and was raving about the lack of marvel superhero movies. Came out of the theater a happy camper.

[@joeyenniss9099]

It's because it actually has an interesting story and good writing

[@MrRay168]

And game of thrones. They failed to flesh out how khaleesi fell to madness in 6 one hour episodes when this film justified Paul's succumb to holy war under 3 hours.

[@____Carnage____]

Modern MCU and Star Wars to be precise

[@pizzatimestops4544]

Naw man, don't disrespect us star wars fans like that, how dare you assume that current day garbage is star wars. Dune part 2 is at the same leagues of the Empire Strikes Back. Dune is like current day OT Star Wars

[@liampeterson5976]

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.

[@jimfortnite7810]

The character deaths were perfect in my opinion because of how pathetic they were. spoilers ahead: Rabban was a coward. The only times we see him in combat he's trying to run away, and he only kills prisoners and his own henchmen, so it makes perfect sense that when he actually faces skilled opponents he gets completely destroyed. He's no match for Feyd-Rautha's scheming and intelligence, and he's probably only ever fought rigged battles against drugged slaves, so he gets destroyed by Gurney Halleck. He's a man who got his position by being royalty, and controlled his men through fear of his childish outbursts. He's never faced a challenge in his entire life, so there's no chance he could stand up to Feyd or Gurney. The Baron, while he is a genius in strategy and business, is also weak. he needs his suspensors to keep him from crumpling under his own weight, and he's still weak from Leto's attempt on his life, which was entirely self-inflicted due to his need to gloat in the first movie. Like Paul says, he died like an animal. His strength came from political maneuvers and shady deals, so when he loses the Emperor's favour, he has nothing.

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

[@santividal9387]

I have a confession to make: Dune 1 was too slow for me precisely for the fact that you said at the beginning. It felt like it was just context for the next movie, only building up. Now, Dune 2 in the other hand... It's one of the best things I've seen in cinema in years.

[@thatssokwekwe]

**SPOILER ALERT** One small thing at 2:21: it’s not a familiar face; the person you’re thinking of gets fully decapitated in his final scene in Part One (his severed head is shown briefly in that scene). All three of the slave combatants in the arena are random prisoners from the House Atreides.

[@KyleDB150]

This is what I thought, but actually the un-drugged fighter was a random lieutenant seen in part 1. I'd hardly call him a familiar face, but maybe Charlie's been on the spice and recognised him

[@pauljmorton]

The black-and-white gladiator scene was actually filmed in infrared, that's why it has such an eerie feel to it.
