that part was filmed entirely with an infrared camera.

[@travisepsteen3234]

The character of Chani in this film is significantly different from Chani in the book. Denis changed her role to make her the “voice of reason” in the film. A small way to try and get the authors original intent across. Book Chani is more of a background character (in the first book) and is fully onboard with Paul and his rise to power. When Paul announces his marriage to Irulan, it’s openly said that the marriage is for political purposes only and that Paul will not show Irulan any affection. He has to marry Irulan to legitimize his claim to the throne. Paul is fully committed to Chani and she and his mother, Jessica, are all aware of the political nature of their marriage.

[@NythicalReacts]

INTERESTINGG!!! Thanks for this book info. Whenever i see a marriage even political, i always think of an heir (probably from so much game of thrones) - and tbh it would personally hurt me if I was in love with someone and they had to marry someone else- even if it’s strictly political because I’m sensitive 😂

[@Gamer-sq8vc]

Chani understands in the movie too but it completely took her by surprise and completely demolished and crushed her heart. I like this way much better. It's so beautiful yet depressive, it's so incredibly emotional and powerful. Those looks Paul gave her and then when he turned around to look at her again while the music played and you could feel what was coming Absolutely incredible.

[@tomaskennedy]

That was clarified at the end of the 1984 film too.

[@JoeKawano]

Spoilers. 😮

[@DanielDem87]

"voice of reason"? I felt like Denis ruined the character and made her into a reactionary, jealous and illogial person ruled by ego and emotion.

[@zeeshanmohammad328]

Love the change of having Chani not just following and realizing people are blinded by faith. The ending sequence just made me want to see Denis' version of Dune Messiah so much... how many years. ugh.

The way Chani was fighting back tears.

[@NythicalReacts]

😭😭😭 she’s gonna pop off in the 3rd film

[@Allexstrasza]

39:40 Paul has vision all throughout part one and two, he sees the future is terrible. The "narrow" way through all of their enemies is the choice he made in the end. He tells his mother that "she will come to understand" and this is what he means by that. By marrying the daughter of the emperor he can give the Fremen a better future, the green paradise and save them with a flick of his hand. That's why he proclaims his love for Chani before the end, to soften the blow and to make her understand that this marriage is just the only way for them to survive. He chose the greater good, rather than love, meaning: he is doing the opposite of what his father would have done and survive because of it.

[@_MicZ_]

"He chose the greater good" ... Well, to be exact, he chose what HE considers the greater good. Billions of people probably disagree with that ...

[@dgrmn12345]

@@_MicZ_ The loss of Billions to save an entire species. Sounds like a good deal for the rest and for future generations. Even the ones willing to be a stone towards that foundation.

[@VeelouC]

exactly... chani didnt accept that he had visions from the start and wasnt being pragmatic, she will probably come back because shes pregnant unless denis makes huge changes or she finally accepts that paul does see the future and that this is the only way.

[@VeelouC]

@@_MicZ_ the holy war would have happened anyway. Irulan's conversation with the emperor explains that. if he died-following any other timeline- the holy war would have broken out because he would be a martyr. Paul chose the narrow path of their survival, if u believe he saw the golden path that means the survival of humans as a whole. judging him from the point of view of the billions that die in the war as a villain is a superficial mindset.

[@samhunt6300]

Chani didn't just leave him for marriage. She left him because her entire people are his to command and he is leading them to their deaths all in the name of religion cooked up by people in power.

[@rauminen4167]

Yeah, sure religion, but it's also true. As in he will in fact lead them to a green Arrakis.

[@OniNoFro]

Oddly "Dune 2000" (on the SyFy channel and elsewhere) is closer to the characterizations and scenes as presented in the books but Denis Villeneuve's presentation is closer to the themes of each chapter and the books overall keeping in mind the first novel itself is really two books. While Denis gets some flak for changes to Chani it is because Frank Herbert was extremely critical of reader interpretation to the story AND their misunderstanding of Paul as a "pure hero. Ironic given a core theme of Dune is false messiahs. This is part of why Dune Messiah was written as it was and why God Emperor of Dune at times reads as heavy handed repetition even as both books explore various themes and the consequences of Paul's decisions. So as a someone with a deep appreciation for Herbert's work and statements on the response to his first book in the series, combined with the influence of Harrison's Dune, Denis expanded the roles of certain character, notably Chani and Irulan, to make it more blatant for the viewer who may not be familiar with the series AND not inclined to read the books. If Denis continues as is, there could be 5 more movies as a solid foundation has been set. That said, if he is only able to do Messiah and Children, that should be good too.

Your one of those "candy in the popcorn" people, you must be a psychopath, lol! Great reaction, this imo is possibly the greatest movie of all time, regardless of genre, and is at the very least the best sci-fi film ever made! Been a Dune fan since i read the whole series, (including all the Brian Herbert books), a couple decades back, and Dennis' adaptation are better than i could have ever hoped for. He really knocked this outa the park!

@@NythicalReacts I know they've talked about adapting the next two books but its still up in the air :( If you dont want to wait and see if they do or not, the SciFi channel did a tv miniseries back in 2003 combining the immediate book after Dune, "Dune Messiah" and the third book "Children of Dune"! If you can get past the costumes and the TV budget its FANTASTIC (acting and writing is top notch imo) and you get to see (it was to me anyways) the first appearance of a VERY young James McAvoy (Xmen, Split, Wanted) who plays another VERY important character ;) You should be able to find the entire thing on KZbin :)

"She'll come to understand. I've seen it." Take note of what Paul said. There's also nothing here that says his marriage to Princess Irulan is anything but a purely political arrangement. Just saying.

[@NythicalReacts]

Oh for sure! I’ve watched lots of things where political arrangements are involved, which usually means an heir is needed. Still sucks to see happen!

[@bdr5542]

@@NythicalReacts For what it's worth, in the books Paul tells Chani that Irulan will have no child of his, and that Chani will bear his only children, and also that Irulan would have not a single moment of kindness or tenderness from him, not even a single touch of the hand, which he does stay true to. By the next book its been twelve years and Irulan is absolutely seething that Paul has never even smiled at her basically lol. It is a purely political marriage, and Chani is much less opposed in the book as she knows that she has Paul's heart.

[@wesleymahan5903]

Paul really turned wicked in the first movie.

[@Windstorm7x7-wl8ko]

Watch the tv version ending, of this ( you can find it on KZbin.) It ends as the book ends. I like how the TV series ends. Perhaps those watching this compare the two will prefer it as well. No denying the art of Denis though. He's a powerful film maker and captures the books intent at the end of how the Fremen move forward from here. Personally I think that someday this will be made again, perhaps in another 40 years. If so, maybe they will expand it, and include more of the book. If the studio would've been braver the first book has enough excellent material for three movies. However, the material needs a par excellent movie maker, and story teller with all the power elements you can bring to bear to make it what fans would like it to be.

[@donatogressbautista4843]

Very good reaction. BTW, you can also react to the 2000's Dune miniseries, which you can find it easily react to it on KZbin, a lot fans say that it's the most faithful adaptation, so it would be nice to compare both versions. And if you want to know what happened to the characters after that first story, you can also react to "The Children of Dune" miniseries, which is also on KZbin.

By making Jessica, Chani and Stilgar mediums through which the movies conflicting ideas are expressed Villenueve has stripped them of the humanity and connection to Paul as a person and gives the impression that the Fremen are innocent, that jessica is heartless, and that Chani and Stilgar are simply two sides of Fremen culture that never were present in the novel. All Fremen were extremists - including Chani - and she wasnt as naive in the Book. They also practiced polygamy, and Chani was definitely understanding of him needing to officially marry Irulan. Paul didn't change, and power did not corrupt him, but he did make the necessary hard choice to steer the wrath of the Fremen to save his loved ones and the Fremen themselves. His choices were a Jihad that kills 60 Billion+ or the rapid implosion of civilization and the extinction of humanity.

[@NythicalReacts]

I’m very interested to see where Chani goes in the film, after hearing about how different she is in the books. I definitely feel they made her feel/react differently in the movie to make her more relatable in today’s society.

​@vattmann1387 as a longtime fan of the books, changing chani was one of my favorite diversions. I'm not sure how growing up in the deserts of Arrakis would make her knowledgeable on the politics of imperial marriages, but I thought using her as the vehicle of some major thematic points of Dune was smart for a film medium. Shes less of a background character just following along with her heart and actually has more agency here. Definitely not weaker imo
