Villagers React to Dune (2021) for the FIRST TIME! 😱 | Movie Night in the Countryside ! React 2.0

[@Stile4aly]

"That is too much sand." Dune in a nutshell.

With a bit of golden drug pooped by gargantuan worms

[@patron8597]

Hey Anakin, I know you hated the latest trip back to your home planet. I have the perfect vacation destination for you!

[@anthonystinson5722]

I love that Ruby wants to beat up the Sardaukar warriors with slippers. Correct reaction.

[@allthingsnerd.4484]

The slow slipper penetrates the shield.😂😂

[@nathanprime2434]

Omg you just about made me die! That was so funny I nearly choked!

[@glenmale1748]

🤣🤣🤣@@allthingsnerd.4484

[@gibn1542]

There's something so meta about rural people understanding and vibing with a scifi movie that shows a lot of life among rural people

[@delarkaBCN]

its even meta if you consider the wise old man lived under British Colonial Rule

[@srbrant5391]

I love how Ruby is so angry at the most feared fighters in the known universe that she wants to beat them with slippers.

[@xvor_tex8577]

She's defintely a mom, don't underestimate the slippers!

[@ChezhAvailability]

Saudukar Assasins were really portrayed as how they should be. they are the loyal militia army for the emperror. who will appear in part 2 portrayed by christopher walken. i also loved that the entire movie you get to see the gllimpse of paul artriedes dreams. but not all of them comes true. some seems to have become different than in the dreams. which is why this movie truly is a masterpiece of art.

[@crabuki1273]

@@ChezhAvailability Except even they would've fallen to the slippers ;)

[@chiphowell4063]

I'm willing to guess that she'd beat them too. She was going on real, human, gut instinct and no formal training...that's some Bene Gesserit level, big picture awareness!

[@AstreaMartinez]

Never underestimate the power of the chankla.

"I don't like these people at all, I want to hit these people with slippers" - Ruby 2023 💀

I now have the strangest idea about a common woman hitting shadam 4 with a slipper and telling she doesn't like him or the corinno dynasty ...

Grandpa's enthusiasm for all the amazing sights and sounds in these movies is so endearing! :)

[@srbrant5391]

There was a video where he was introduced to VR headsets and he _broke down in tears_ from the beautiful sights he saw.

[@ONIscrooge]

12:57 I knew that Babu would imitate the throat-singing. I can see into his mind as I would my own.

[@allthingsnerd.4484]

He did what we ALL did!😆🤣

[@CadoonTube]

*everyone else who thought the same thing* - "I'm a bit of a Lisan al-Gaib myself"

[@delarkaBCN]

he understood the assignment. call me "woke lib" but i feel its like he felt the anticolonial struggle subtext

[@DrunkenCoward1]

19:59 "Whatever was supposed to happen, happened." The entire Dune series in one sentence.

[@lukefallon8276]

I love these reactions. They are so honest. "I want to hit these people with slippers!" That's the only way to deal with the dreaded Sardaukar.

[@melanie62954]

I just love Ruby's take on this movie! She appreciated the slow build to the action, and recognized the unique blend of archaic and futuristic aspects of culture. Those of us who saw it in theaters have been waiting for part 2 for two years, and the release was delayed again to next March! And I always enjoy Babu's songs--it's nice to have a bit of their culture shared with us, as well. Also, I do hope you tell them (or have told them already) that Dune is based on a book written in 1965, and that the story influenced everything from Star Wars to Avatar.

[@ting4758]

She’s actually really observant. I didnt even catch those when I watched

[@JoshSweetvale]

Yeah, she clever.

[@leroybrown3256]

about the old and the futuristic ambiance, she definitely got a point

[@bertiebrown581]

“This movie ended in a place that people will be eager to see the next one…” you said it brother.

[@michaelscarn007]

Ruby is so insightful --- I love her takes on these films ...

[@Anthony_Cika]

Should have Ruby take notes when she watches these films. She's got a career as film critic if she wants it. Her analysis is phenomenal.

[@AngelArm1110]

That scene on the Ornithopter where Paul uses the voice successfully for the first time is so amazing!! Then Jessica using it effortlessly. Literally the OG Jedi mind trick.

[@stepanserdyuk4589]

I loved them reacting to the Sandworm first appearing. In Villeneve's version, it's not merely a large dumb animal. It's something mythical and chtonic, the Creator and the Destroyer of the desert, a thing beyond comprehension.

[@Alejojojo6]

In the book the warm is also that. But you dont learn it until you get passed the first book.

[@Unpainted_Huffhines]

That's how the Fremen view them, it's not really unique to Villeneuve's version.

[@baronsengir187]

And the deliberate choice to make it sound like a laugh when he looks at Paul. Like he sees his whole future in a single moment and just laughs before leaving.

[@jameswoodard4304]

*chthonic

[@MisterW0lfe]

Having seen all the versions of Dune, and read Herbert's books as well, I always liked taht this one didn't over-explain everything, but trusted the audience to figure many things out on their own. It may take several viewings, but that does improve the re-watchability of this movie and I hope the whole franchise can be done

[@WmAnnis]

I have read Dune and other Herbert works quite a few times, so I am too immersed in it sometimes to appreciate where an audience might have difficulties. I think it's a testament to Villeneuve's skill that this version was very legible to people who aren't already soaked in western scifi (or are already Herbert fans). They got the world very well, I thought.

[@Mahbeiserts]

@@WmAnnis Same here! I think they could have explained Leto and Jessica's relationship a bit better. The amount of people that get confused at the "I should have married you" line is pretty high. and it really is impactful to the second part to know that Jessica is technically his concubine/true love

[@hummingbird9149]

I love how they immerse themselves into the movie, they're almost living it, praying and everything. Bless them 😊

[@kevinbautsch]

I agree. They seem to appreciate this movie in such a way, way more than we do here in the west. God Bless them.

[@TrueFork]

imagine you're in the movie theater and these people are behind you 😄

[@QBG]

This has become my favorite reaction channel by far. It's so refreshing to see genuine reactions and opinions from people who _aren't_ immersed in Western pop culture and thus have no biased expectations of what they'll see before watching a movie.

[@howardhavardramberg333]

Exactly!

[@Letha-Mae]

The gorgeous RUBY and the funny and sweet BABU BHAI these two are my favorite well I'll add RAEEN in as well!! But I love how they have respect for all movies and I can't wait to see them react to some scary movies for October

[@JoshSweetvale]

Dune is a story about cultures; the specific cultures of the space future, and how cultures in general are formed and transformed. Having people from different cultural milieus appreciate this film is not only thematically appropriate, but also a litmus test to see how well Villeneuve (and Herbert) managed to decouple from Euro-American thinking.

[@WhipahSnapah]

I love your comment. Your assessment is spot on. As otherworldly as this film is, it maintains a tremendous amount of human relatability because of its story about cultures.

[@powerbuilder978]

Dune is about the white chechen and dagestani peoples jihad against russia. its based on the book sabres of paradise and herbert had the idea to place it in space on a desert planet after he studied dunes for a scientific article he wrote in a magazine. Its about a reactionary philisophical exposition of metaphysics. And the books world is entirely white. Its why the lat right love dune. Stop reading your leftist bs into it. Herbert admired islam because it was a based right wing belief system and he hated communists and supported the red scare.

[@abyrvalg_]

That's certainly not everything. This movie is about politics, propaganda, fear and hope. It is about ruling with fear versus ruling with loyalty into fanatic loyalty.

[@delarkaBCN]

@@abyrvalg_ also, colonialism. which Babu lived.

[@NoLeftTurn54321]

How he imitated the throat singing 😂

[@TrueFork]

The Empire has personal shield technology that blocks fast attacks, so they normally use blades instead of guns, and some slow homing dart pistols and little assassination drones that can get through the shields. (In the books, beam weapons also exist but cause the equivalent of a nuclear explosion when hitting a shield so nobody dares use them -the Harkonnen firing a beam weapon at Duncan's thopter was a bit of a break with canon). On Arrakis shields can't be used in the desert, so the Fremen and Harkonnen use guns there. The movie doesn't explicitly explain this, but the hints are present.

[@ChicagoDB]

The most incredible surprise to most people is that Dune was written long before any other as Space SciFi movie they’ve probably ever seen.

[@kaerbear]

“I want to hit these people with slippers.” 😄😄😄 Ruby is so cute.

[@benlee8436]

Ruby's insight is astute and very welcome. Of all of Babu's songs this is my favourite. I will not fear.

[@9000ck]

Ruby should write screenplays; she's very observant of story form.

[@bucklberryreturns]

Dune is an epic in true traditional cinema style. It is not cheapened with rubbish jokes every 3 minutes, plot armour, or rushed CGI. Though perhaps not perfect, every effort was done with a passion for doing things right, and not with box office the primary motivation. Though Ruby and Babu are unaware of the modern move to "content" over art, it's clear to see their appreciation of the absolute beauty of Dune's cinematography. Would love to see some golden era of Hollywood reactions.

[@melanie62954]

It would be amazing to see them react to something like Lawrence of Arabia! Especially with the shared British colonial histories.

[@bucklberryreturns]

That's EXACTLY the film that sprang first to mind for me also@@melanie62954 Casablanca (less epic, equally brilliant!) would be top 5 too. Hard stories, told with heart, and subtle enough with sexuality to be appropriate for Ruby. Ooh, would love to see her watch old romantic comedies like Roman Holiday also ☺

[@kraatarin8226]

I think they would find 12 Angry Men from 1957 very interesting

[@Usul75]

You mean every effort was done with a passion for wokeness. Why dont they remake Star Wars next and change Luke into a girl? Ey, wait a moment.....🤔😱

[@bucklberryreturns]

What modern ideological concessions @@Usul75 absolutely ruined the film for you exactly?

[@Trazynn]

Make sure the same two see the part two next year.

[@Kuhekin]

Yes

[@chrismedina54]

12:55 the throat singing hits us all.

[@DaveMcKay0960]

Perhaps they should have tried that in the books and movie: slapping the Sardaukar with slippers.

[@samwallaceart288]

Now we know what Duncan Idaho meant when he said "I've never come so close to dying!"

[@Kiraj8de]

I can't wait for Dune Part 2 to come out next year to see their reactions! They both had very insightful comments about Part 1. 😊

[@CalmBrook]

Awesome reaction. Ruby and Babu are wonderful❤❤

[@Rpol_404]

I was worried when I saw they were going to show them Dune, which is a very complex movie. Then I saw Ruby there and was no longer worried. I knew she would get it. Well done!

[@Trazynn]

Raeen would have loved this as well though. But Ruby and Babu are a great pair as well.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

I'd love to see Denis Villeneuve react to watching them watch his movie.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Our star Ruby

[@focu2567]

👍

[@Edward_Ardy4671]

Even with the language barrier, they pretty much understood the movie. I'm impressed

[@2000Comics]

There should be a Ruby's Fan Club. I truly love her beauty.

[@1ksweatyrikers455]

"It is said that when trouble comes to a person, courage comes to him automatically". what a great saying!

[@matmar2009]

Their discussions of the movie are great and on the spot. It brings joy to see that we have more in common than one would assume at first glance. Even when in some sense my home is on a different planet from them, my home is dark and cold most of the year and close to the polar circle. This made me smile 😊

[@pearlofthedarkage]

Dune is my most favorite surprise ever. I went into this knowing next to nothing. I do love sci-fi, but as a child the old Dune movie gave me nightmares - and I never even saw the movie! It was just the commercials and whatever little snippets I had seen on TV! I saw this new one for reasons I can't even explain. I was just in an out-of-body mood that night, and I sat down to watch this movie even though it was late. I was mesmerized. This movie has stayed with me, and I can't wait until the sequel!!! P.S. Still haven't seen the original......

[@wessmith3859]

As someone who is a fan of the books, im so happy this movie is getting new fans to the dune franchise. I'm also so happy we a have director who is on par with the source material. P.s. you can skip the original movie (the director is not bad, but the studio interfered too much so the movie is bad)

[@PasserMontanus]

The original is the book.

[@jomartin3850]

Love you beautiful people and your take on films. 😊

[@WinnieTheJew]

I ❤ seeing Ruby this animated, it makes me so happy 😊

[@PedroSilvahf]

Give Duncan a pair of Rubys slippers and the war is over

[@beetlebob4675]

Ruby's ruby slippers😅

[@DrunkenCoward1]

*Herald of the change on the screen* Ruby: "These are very strange creatures." Hey now, you can't just SAY that.

[@smoldragon339]

This is such an awesome movie, and I'm glad they've seen it now! I'd love to see what they think of Blade Runner (the Final Cut), and Blade Runner: 2049!

[@bullpup33]

I knew thy would like this movie 😊. Her point of combining the old and the new is so on point! She compliments him perfectly. Thanks guys!

[@leftworld333]

You have to show us how Babu does that awesome flick-slapping thing when he's singing =D Always my favourite part, no matter the movie. Thanks again!

[@happyslapsgiving5421]

"I want to hit these people with slippers!" Ooooh, she mad mad. 😁

[@hobidiasorion4977]

I really love the reviews of Dune on literature websites too. You have Western people claiming it’s white savior, orientalist etc and then there’s just these BLOC texts in Urdu, Arabic, Persian, etc. praising the book as a cultural prescient masterpiece.

[@Torgo-and-the-Lucifer-Cat]

"I want to hit these people with SLIPPERS!!", she says! Love that miss Ruby!!❤p.s, do "fifth element", and "Legend", Ruby will ❤ them!

[@MalcrowAlogoran]

12:51 for the man to mimic the throat singing. XD

[@ledbymab]

This was amazing! I've enjoyed all the sci-fi reactions recently but given their love of Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings I'd also like to see more reactions to fantasy films. Some suggestions: Labyrinth, Legend, Neverending Story, Edward Scissorhands, Stardust, Princess Bride, Excalibur, Penelope, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, BFG, the Witches, Matilda, Peter Pan, Studio Ghibli. I know it depends on what had been dubbed though.

[@samhunt6300]

I think people believe media literacy comes with education. Education helps, but it all comes down to critical thinking and life experiences, and these two have it and id rather watch people with respect for craft than dumb college kids who giggled throughout the movie. Also thinking oh they are tribals they wont understand is stupid since one of the greatest piece of literature was written by a tribal man called valmiki and it is not only revered as a sacred text but also as a literature

[@melanie62954]

Exactly. I don't know how much formal education people in their villages get, but they certainly have been educated through life. Ruby especially is so intuitive.

[@samwallaceart288]

Life experience is more valuable than literacy alone

[@bucklberryreturns]

Art of both visual and narrative forms have existed as a primal means of communicating life's truths millenias longer than the written word, let alone formal education. Anyone who believes modern media literacy is any reflection on intellect, has likely never deduced anything other than by the law of averages.

[@Trazynn]

Watching Westerners watch these same movies just isn't fun at all. They're trying to hard and aren't actually enjoying the movie.

[@WE-WUZZING-KANGS-N-SHEEOYT]

[@ozcanison]

[@Vontux]

It would be very interesting to see them react to a space movie based on something that actually happened, for example, the Apollo 13 disaster.

[@KERRYPIKE]

Dune is a incredible movie.

[@JetsonRING]

Enjoyed watching the villagers curiosity sparking. One thing that stands out is, there is still FAR more information in the story than any of the movies made so far can convey, and people will always have trouble understanding parts of the story, like the baron's floating in air or Shai Hulud or swordfighting or ANY of the points that the very perceptive woman caught and pointed out, unless they have read the book(s). This movie after all only covers a PART of the FIRST book. I wonder if local translations of the books, even the first book, are available?

[@MaxWellenstein]

Great analysis of the movie by both of them. They understand the deep themes of Dune better than most people I've talked to in person. I'm really looking forward to their analysis of the second Dune movie!

[@SharmaForLlama]

Oh this should be good. Only 30 minutes though!

[@DrunkenCoward1]

The movie is great. But the books are works of art. God Emperor of Dune has absolutely captured my imagination. The way Frank Herbert writes has not ever really been replucated to my knowledge. I tried writing a fanfics, but it is mostly just a sad copy of his linguistic masterclass. *"Leto! You are THE BEST! There is no evil in this universe... WHICH CAN SURPASS-"* *A sudden thump shut off Malky's voice.* *'A blow to the throat', Leto thought, 'Yes. Moneo knows that one.'*

[@9000ck]

'first you eat and put on some muscle' hehe

[@chiphowell4063]

I love watching them! I've been a fan of Dune since my teenage years, when I first read the novel. It's fantastic seeing others discovering the story and engaging with it on so deep a level. Watching this is as much fun as watching the actual movie.

[@elizabethlundin3112]

I just love these two as a team watching movies! They're so fun!!

[@khroify]

Honestly, I've watched quite a few react videos for this movie. This one was by far the best. I hope these two will be available for Part 2.

[@Wiwcharizard]

My favorite reactors and one of my favorite films, thanks for the content.

[@Odinist]

It took me a long time to get around to reading the DUNE book; probably the best science fiction novel ever. There's a lot more 'meat' in the story~

[@AW-yj6md]

Loved your reaction, as always, yes the photography, cinematography in this is amazing, what I like about grand, epic, big scale movies like this, is even if you don't see it on the big screen, in theater, it's the type of movie that pulls you in visually, as well as the characters, and storyline,..the sand worm, like I said even on a small screen, you feel the grandeur of it, how immense it is, the scale of it, this movie is a reimagining, of a movie actually done some 40 years ago, by David Lynch(I do encourage ya'll to check out the older version, of course photography, cinematography, is far more advanced now, compared to when the original movie was done, but the epic, and grandeur of it, to me is still there, even in that old version, and also the movies are based on a book,..), ...like you said, all the sand, the desolation of the planet, it seems so barren, and water aside from the spice, is greatly valued, even for one's very survival, it's not the kind of paradise we have here on Earth, where even if you live in the country, away from a city, you can just pop down to the the nearby creek, pond, get a bucket of water,,,,,no, no on Arakis,.huh you have only the water you carry in your body to sustain you, it's amazing, and I've often wondered how people of the desert here survive in such harsh conditions, nomadic people, no water for miles,.....and yess the story, of betrayal, and of power, those seeking it,..it's well written, and like you, so loved the bravery of Duncan,..Jason Momoa,..truly an incredible cast, as was the cast of the original, Jose' Ferrer, Sting, Virginia Madsen, Kyle MacLachlan, got to give credit to whoever was casting the actors for both movies, ...yes there is much, much more, part 2 of the story is I think to arrive in December, so very much anticipating the next part of the story, the first original movie, I believe was chopped because they(probably the movie studio), thought audiences wouldn't want to sit through something so long, which is to me silly, back long-ago, and I don't know how they did in theater box office, but movies like original Ben Hur, Celopatra, both long movies and actually had intermission intervals for people to take bathroom breaks, think the original Dune, the way Lynch would've wanted it may have been 3 or 4 hours, so the other difference, between the old version, and new, is its all of the story, non stop, not split up in two parts as the new version is, and that's ok, gives more time to develop, play out the story,..I like both versions, it's such an epic story,..so glad you enjoyed it, loved watching it with you, do keep going, Godspeed, Peace ✌

[@ehcmier]

The Sardaukar deserve all the Ruby Slippers. They'd be thrown into a crisis of faith at such humiliation. They'd burn in the hellfire of their own rage and desire for revenge.

I wish I could experience stories like this 😢 I feel like I’ve watched so many and follow productions so closely that I become critical and cynical (movie IPs that feel like cash grabs with no vision behind them) instead of enjoying them for what they are. I’ll always be wary of getting taken advantage of, but I’ll have to trust my gut on when to let go and just enjoy the ride

Thank you for showing them this awesome Movie. Please Show them MAD Max Fury Road soon. And Maybe also More Nolan Movies such as Prestige, Memento, the Dark Knight Trilogy… and More Tarantino Movies such as Kill Bill and the Hateful eight

[@toomanyaccounts]

why the 4th Mad Max and not first or second?

[@Trazynn]

The first is a low budget art house movie. The second is a classic. The third is cheesy. But Mad Max Fury Road is really something else entirely. It's a rollercoaster of a movie.
