43:34 One of the most interesting things about Paul is that he is not in any way an every man like many main characters his age in sci-fi. He's not Luke Skywalker, a farm boy who had to get training from multiple wise masters and even then loses in his first real fight. Paul has been trained by the best warriors, the best statesman, the best tacticians, the best strategists, and by his mother who is part of a secret order of women who can control the very chemical processes of their body, since he was old enough to walk. Paul in many ways is a pinnacle of brains and brawn mixed with 10,000 years of eugenics to create someone with power beyond our understanding.

Even Chani said he doesn’t believe the prophecy. I really enjoyed your review 😊 Waiting for Part Two.

@jrlombardi52512 ай бұрын
@@LauraGS564 it is. That's confirmed since the very first moment they get to the planet, it's talked about multiple times and it's one of the biggest plot points in the saga. The prophecy was fabricated through the centuries to control people, that's why it's huge that Paul ends up taking the title of their messiahs, bc he's aware that he isn't it, that it doesn't even exist, but he takes advantage of it to make people follow him and through that gaining the control he needs to do what he wants to do. That's also why Chani asks him to not take power under the title of the messiahs, bc she notices it is fake and simply a way to slave them, meaning that if someone takes that title and leads her people through it, they're taking advantage from them for goals that aren't theirs, making them live and die for someone they don't need to and just want to bc of lies. Paul is not a bad guy (he doesn't want to slave people, he takes the title bc he needs to, and after resisting the necessity for a long time bc of knowing the pain he'll cause), but he's also not a saint (he does horrible things regardless), this is why he's very well known as an anti-hero, not a hero. You can dislike that or not notice it so want to deny it, but this is still confirmed (movies, books, the author), so it's a fact, not an opinion.

For context, the Harkonnens and the Atriedes have a deadly inter-family feud that spans generations. They have been fighting with each other for hundreds of years, but the Atriedes taking over Arrakis from the Harkonnens was the casus belli for open warfare between the two houses. The fact that the takeover of Dune was commanded by the Emperor even while the Emperor was secretly giving military aid to the Harkonnens to tip the scales in the Baron's favor heavily implies that the order for the Atriedes to take over Dune was a ruse. As Baron Vladimir Harkonnen said: "When is a gift not a gift?"

They didn't do a good job explaining but the Emperor didn't think he had a choice and actually liked Duke Leto. He had no sons but their was a male heir in both the Atreides and Harkonnen. Who were the next most powerful houses. If he had married a daughter to Paul the Harkonnen's would have rebelled and started a galactic war. If he married his daughter to the Harkonnen the Harkonnens would be ruthless and that would start a revolution. Either way there was going to be a galactic scale war. He thought ambushing and eliminating the Atreides and marrying a daughter to Harkonnen heir was the only path to avoid an all out war.

Definitely watch Part 2 before you watch the old Dune film as that film covers events that happen in Part 2, and that way you won’t be spoiled. Personally, I think the old movie is atrocious. I remember falling in love with the books when I was pretty young, and when I finally watched the movie I was kind of like, “what in the ever loving fuck is this?!”. I think a lot of people like it for nostalgia, but to each their own. Also, the Baron says the emperor is a “jealous man”. The Atreides had been rising in popularity amongst the noble houses and the emperor sent them to Arakkis as a trap to wipe them out with the help of the Harkonens. These two movies are amazing. The second one is even better.

Jamis is teaching him the ways of the desert, which are harsh and cruel, and his first lesson is that there can be no mercy, only death. In killing jamis, paul dies but that can also be represented as jamis killing Paul.

Dune has some insanely good story plots. The human race was barely wiped from existance when AI went to far, the humans won against the computers so that's why there are no computers in their day and age. They have mentats, people like the charachter of Tufir Hawat trained to calculate extremely fast. Interstellar travel without computer is only achievable by enhancing mentats capacity with the use of spice to calculate navigation in space. Paul has both the potential to be a mentat, and the ways of the voice taught in secret by his bene geserit mother, making him extremely powerful. The bene geserit have a grand design, by way of mariage and genetics to breed leaders who can ignore their animal nature and think with rationality. Not to spoil but Paul wasn't supposed to be this leader in their plan, they weren't finished mixing the families and genetic aptitudes yet. Also, this idea of missionaries who brought religious ideals and profecies to a colonized place to help their plans later in the futur is awesome. It's so evoking of the real world. The Bene Geserit planted the idea of a messiah in the culture of Arakis so that it would be easier to take control of it's people when the time was right to place someone fullfilling that self proclaimed profecy.

Great decision watching this, one of the most epic movies what can follow in the footsteps of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Altough if it is not a long strech, you could watch the original Dune from 1984, you will see a familiar face playing Paul :) Actually Star Wars took inspiration from the book of Frank Herbert, but Herbert's book made into a movie much later, since the first Star Wars was released in '77 while Dune in '84. The Dune movie was much more close to being an art film and true to the book than a scripted movie, plus the hype of the original Star Wars trilogy (A New Hope '77, The Empire Strikes Back '80 and the Return of the Jedi '83) overshadowed Dune ('84) and it could not reach a breaking point to be known as widely. I think it was a good decision by Herbert's heritage to reshoot this movie when Star Wars was fading in the Disney era and people started to miss the good old space fantasy.

The original Dune book predates not only Star Wars but Star Trek as well. These movies from Denis Villenueve are based upon the Dune books and should NOT be considered a remake of the 1984 movie. The 1984 version by David Lynch is trippy and a hack job of the books. In 2000, the Syfy channel did a couple of tv miniseries based upon the first three Dune books. They were closer to the books than the 1984 movie. But they were plagued by low budget and costumes that were just bizarre. This movie is the first half of the first Dune book. The second movie that came out this year is the second half of that book. Final points, this story takes place over 20,000 years into our future. In that time Earth has been destroyed in a war against artificial intelligence. Because of the war, humanity has disavowed the use of highly advanced computers. So over the 10,000 or more years since that war, various human sects have been evolved and bred to superhuman levels of strength, stamina and mental abilities. That is why several people in this movie have abilities that are beyond the norm. Despite the Bene Gesserit (BG) being called witches, there is no such thing as magic. The BG are just women with highly advanced abilities. Paul is a male Bene Gesserit aka the Kwisatz Haderach.

In the book, Dr. Kynes was Zendaya's father. She only exists as female in this movie.

If only star wars was made for a more mature audience. Dune is just so much better.

Heya love your videos, Id recommend reacting to the valorant cinematics, valorant is also from riot (the company behind league of legends) so you can expect the same level of polish. Also! You havent reacted to the newest League cinematic "Im still here"! Either way, keep up the hood work :3

9:45, hey don't talk about Paul's grandma like that. LOL. Not joking that's his mom's mother. I feel bad for Paul Atreides. My grandma gave me hugs and cookies. His grandma threatens to end him if he fails a mental test the first time they meet.

That grandma link was the invention of Frank Herbert’s son, Brian, and co-author Kevin Anderson. If Frank wanted Mohiam to be Jessica’s mother, he would have put it in one of the original six novels. As a Reverend Mother, Jessica has Other Memory which allows her to see the past and her ancestral lines. She knows who her secret father is and would also know who her secret mother is, after drinking the Water of Life. The fact that she never acknowledges a link to Mohiam, an important piece of information, means Frank never intended for them to be related. Contrast that to the revelation of who Jessica’s father is, discussed in the first novel. It’s just one of several things Brian and Kevin put in their mediocre sequels and prequels (cash grabs) that contradict the lore Frank established. Another contradiction is the Butlerian Jihad. Frank described it as a war between humans over AI. One group of people were fighting another group of people who were enslaving humanity with AI. It was not humanity vs intelligent robots, as depicted in The Terminator and Matrix movies. Brian and Kevin either misinterpreted or deliberately ignored what Frank wrote.

@@SunsetRogue you see, you can believe that all you want but that doesn't make it true. brian says his fathers notes mentioned the link and until proven otherwise that has to be ttaken as fact. not to mention brian owns the rights to the novels so he can dictate what is and isn't canon. not to mention you are putting too much faith in frank when dune was plagurized from the Sabres of Paradise

@@houseofaction You see, you can believe all you want that Brian based his writing off his father’s notes and outlines, but that doesn’t make it true UNTIL he provides evidence by publicly showing his father’s supposed notes and outlines for the planned 7th novel, which Brian has NEVER done. It would be quite easy for him to prove this. All he has to do is show Frank’s notes to some interviewer or writer. That he is invariably secretive about it indicates he is full of BS. He hasn’t shown them to legitimize his claims of being faithful to Frank’s vision because the notes don’t exist. It’s funny that you should defend Brian, who rides on the coattails of his father’s legacy. He doesn’t have a tenth of the creative talent Frank had and needs a co-author’s help. But he’s definitely made money off his father’s name, producing nearly 30 Dune books and short stories. Brian churning out mediocre crap year after year mirrors the oversaturated dreck Disney is milking out of the Star Wars franchise. Brian and Disney have a lot in common. The Sabres Of Paradise is a non-fiction historical book about a Muslim chieftain, Imam Shamil, who led his tribes against the forces of Imperial Russia. Frank Herbert, like many creative people, was inspired by stories, fictional or real, that came before him. Nothing is created in a vacuum. Lawrence Of Arabia, Asimov’s Foundation series, and A Princess Of Mars were likely inspirations for Dune, yet Dune is significantly different from them. Plus, tales of an oppressed group fighting against a richer, more powerful enemy didn’t start with The Sabres Of Paradise and didn’t end with Star Wars. This type of story has existed since the beginning of recorded history.

@@houseofaction Furthermore, you have a loose definition of plagiarism. Herbert did not plagiarize either The Sabres Of Paradise or Lawrence Of Arabia, especially since the plot of Dune and trajectory of his main character differ greatly from Imam Shamil’s and T.E. Lawrence’s stories. Also, did TSOP have gigantic sandworms and a hallucinogenic drug that granted prescience and an unnaturally long life? Did Lawrence become a ruling theocrat who could alter the future in advance, thanks to genetic breeding and Bene Gesserit training? NO. Unlike George Lucas (who directly copied Arrakis, sandworms, and God Emperor Leto II for Tatooine, greater Krayt dragons, and Jabba the Hutt with little alteration), Herbert made the effort to change his stories to be recognizably different, distinct from the sources of his inspiration. The futuristic feudal setting was a major change. The use of human computers (mentats) instead of intelligent robots was another change that differed from typical sci-fi of the time. The Fremen were inspired by Arabic and Bedouin culture and Herbert borrowed Arabic words for them, but they are not copies of Middle Eastern people. In many ways, the Fremen have a truly unique culture. Paul does not fit the hero’s journey of Shamil and Lawrence. He is a subversion of that trope. He’s a warning about following perceived heroes. No author or member of the publishing industry has ever filed a lawsuit against Frank Herbert for copyright infringement. In our litigious society, someone would have if there were any evidence. Herbert complained about Star Wars and once considered suing Lucas for copyright infringement, but eventually changed his mind because he was a literary author, not a money-grubbing filmmaker. Lucas, derivative as he is, is known for excessive lawsuits, accusing others of the same things he’s guilty of. Notably, Lesley Blanch, author of The Sabres Of Paradise, voiced no objections about Herbert or Dune. Blanch outlived him by 21 years and she never made one complaint about him even after he died. Instead, contemporary authors have praised Herbert for his worldbuilding and originality. Accusing him of plagiarism is such a stretch.

The voice is more a skill than a power. Bene Gesserit are highly trained, but they are not telepathic nor supernatural in any way.
