Personally I'm not convinced with Dune, but I didn't have a word for it until recently. I was talking about how dry (pun not intended) the movie was, and they pointed out that no one in Dune has hobbies. That's kind of the shorthand version of what feels so weird about Dune. Outside of coffee-brewing, people in the Dune movie seem to do *exactly* what they need to for their job, and nothing else. Like there's no sports or games, the closest thing that would count is *sparring*, but that's practice for Paul's *job*. 🤔

Dune nerd moment: 🤓 The Butlerian Jihad was not an AI uprising. It was in response to technology becoming so advanced that "men gave up their thinking to machines, believing it would set them free", enabling people who controlled the machines to practically enslave others. Basically, humanity had stagnated because we let tech do all the work for us, allowing those in power to puppeteer us. It wasn't a terminator-like event.

One minor point, perhaps, if I’m recalling my lore correctly. The Butlerian Jihad was a terminator-style war only in the Brian Herbert books, whereas Frank’s implied it to be more a philosophical struggle than a martial one.
@Finetas
@Finetas 9 ай бұрын
It’s pretty explicitly stated in Frank’s books that the Butlerian Jihad was a war between men and their machine EMPOWERED oppressors. It was a commentary about how people could use technology to exploit each other. And how, in the wake of that, the trauma of the experience left humanity with a superstitious fear of technology that trapped us in feudalism for 10k years. So yes, you are correct. That’s a Brian move and it very much contradicts his father’s writing. The machines were never sentient OR sapient in Dune and in the forth book the titular character even tries to explain that to a couple of bene gesserit who fear the creation of self aware machines.

​@@rodrigobogado8756 We're in the very midst of it actually since Herbert as was pointed out didn't imply it was AI, but rather machines doing the job of men. That means lay-offs because machines do peoples' jobs (which basically started before Herbert during the Industrial Revolution and continues escalating to this day). The problem with this is the people that own the "machines" and therefore economic and political power. They have no duty, interest or incentive to split the money they save by not using people with the people who would work there otherwise. Take youtube's demonitization algorithm e.g. as a job that was traditionally done by humans: It does a worse job than humans, but that doesn't matter because A) it's cheaper and B) there's no real contender for youtube, so they're like "well, watcha gonna do? Go to a video website nobody uses? 😂" Look at the power that tech companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple have and you'll see that Herbert wasn't making stuff up, he was merely spinning the dangers he saw to their logical conclusion which could be seen over 50 years ago. The one positive thing is that these are all publicly traded companies, so you could and should buy shares in these companies. The problem is when wages like in the US rn are so low that people don't have money left at the end of the month, creating a poverty death-spirale.

@@thisisfyne If you mean in hindsight, as an after the fact evaluation of the cohesiveness of the universe as a whole, then yes. However, I would point out that Lost got extremely into peoples brains when it was on the air and fresh. There was a lot of lore (for a TV show) in Lost, which made the tangled writing and effective retconing all the more disappointing in the end. It was like a starting a jigsaw puzzle and realizing in the end the pieces just don't fit. Thus, I advocate for viewer/reader caution while the mystery is still in play - many people get pulled in before the incompleteness of the world is clear. For writers, beware the temptation to leave the laws of your world too open-ended for future addition. Write within the bounds of those laws. As for Dune and Dune lore continuity, let's just say I am markedly less enthusiastic for the inevitable adaptations of Children of Dune and beyond, and god help us if studios pick up Brian Herbert's "books".

@@Iturnright Yeah I can't disagree with that!

Overall I guess that's something that can closely relate to how much you trust the author/director; their credentials can certainly influence how much I'm willing to get involved as a fan, and how much I can trust that the deep lore is actually there. Most of Hollywood is out of the question then, of course, hence my example in videogames.

@@victormustin2547 I would say the anti Ai and computer rules is a ramification out of the fact that this Story plays in our far future and they dont are highly techlogized. With some thing you come up with you get a baggage of expectations. For example: Putting your story in our the far future: future tech is expected. So you need to follow the lead to actually explain the diconnect between the world given and the expected world from having it play in the far future. its bascially connecting two incompatible facts about the world: Far future result in a world having lots of tech. Our world is a low tech world. (Results in other stuff that isnt meaningful here.) Both facts contardict each other. So you need an explanation as to why some of those ramifications arent taking place. And then you basically work backwards instead of forwards like the example of the youtuber. Our world is futuristic and low tech because people mistrust tech because they want to prenevt a war against tec. Because they fought a war against tec. because they rebelled against tech. because they were exploited and made to slaves because of people explpoiting tech. Just an example. You basically go backwards until only one fact about the world is just true. You could end up with the same world if you go forwards though: Its the future therefore people have high tech therefore they get influenced highly by tech therefore some misuse that tech. therefore they rebell against that tech. therefore they fight agruesome war and win. therefore they want to make sure that this doesnt happen again therefore they distrust in tech therefore they dont use as much tech as possible. Though goin fowards can lead to many possibillities. Thats just one. They could have lost the war and we end up in a tech dystopian world where machines have taken over and enslaved humanity. resulting in cyborg spaceships fueld by spice. XD

That scene to me just shows the atreides and Paul travelling through space to arrakis, while paul is in the ship learning and watching his filmbook in preparation (hes only a teenager....he doesnt know everything about the giant universe he lives in either) - and it also serves perfectly equally as a succinct use for quick exposition.

Actually all the lore that the director isn't willing to talk about exists in the phenomenal book by Frank Herbert that these films are based on. The book also is written like a documentary or like an epic, with many details unexplained because in this world it is common knowledge. One correction, Dune 1 movie says that spice is needed in space travel. This is NOT common knowledge in the Dune universe of the book. It is an extremely well guarded secret of the Spacing Guild. Spice is also a geriatric drug and extremely addictive, which was why the population of the Dune universe probably didn't realize the double significance of the spice for the Spacing Guild. Sorry for geeking out, but I highly recommend reading the book!

Stuff with language is tricky. What if the player speaks Portuguese? I've been in situation where game assumes I don't know Spanish and the only dialogue options are to say that I don't understand the language. But I do. I want to reply but I can't. I mean it's still better than when whoever was in charge of writing it visited 2 Spanish classes and that's it. It's even funnier when they want to make signs in Russian but none of them know how to read Cyrillic yet alone how to speak Russian. Or the sign should be in Russian but for some reason it's in Bulgarian lol.

I would argue that Villeneuve should have restated the importance of spice in Part Two so the audience fully understood why Paul threatening to nuke the spice fields is such a big deal. The fact that I have seen many people confused about the purpose of spice and why it is so important tells me that Villeneuve didn't either show or tell the audience in a clear enough way for them to understand. At points you need long exposition scenes to get across both plot and reasoning. For instance when Villeneuve adapts Dune Messiah, he is going to have to put in multiple exposition scenes at the start of the movie, so the audience can get a full understanding of the plotting that is going on. Same with the ending where there needs to be an info dump in the final confrontation so we can understand the plan; however, the info dump in the final confrontation is also a character revealing their plan to Paul and therefore the audience. So it's not so much an info dump, but a person acting like a sterotypical villain revealing their master plan but by revealing their plan, also aiding the plan at the same time.

That's a good point and I couldn't put my finger on what was lacking from Dune part 2 but that is definitely part of it-I didn't feel the level of seriousness with what was taking place because I didn't feel any characters were really conveying that and I do think actual discussions and dialogue around that would have been normal within the movie and helpful to the viewer. I also think someone who hasn't read the books would just have a really hard time understanding what was going on with Paul, his inner conflict, all of that. It's frustrating to me because I felt like the movie tried a little too hard to be "cool" and "serious" but lost some of the deeper and more complex things that were going on that could have made the story have the same depth and complication you sense when you read the books for the viewer.

@1:15 Sting wanted Feyd to emerge from the shower naked, but the producers over-ruled this as it would cause a classification issue. So he had to wear something, so something ostentatious was selected. So, not really an issue. But overall, the points were quite valid, Herbert built a rich universe, if the dictionary, glossary, or encyclopædia was evident enough. But I am yet to be convinced that Villeneuve's version is so much better than Lynch's. Villeneuve, unlike Lynch, had a longer run-time, editorial control, and then made very weird adjustments to the story. I may watch it one day, but the Spicediver version wins for me.

I walked out of _Dune: Part 2_ saying that it’s unquestionably the greatest film to be released in years - if nothing else, the sound design is absolutely mindblowing - yet I’m not convinced I like it as a _Dune_ adaptation. I actually disagree with Henry’s assessment that Villenueve succeeded as “show, don’t tell”; I thought there was entirely too much on-the-nose expository dialogue in the film, some of which slipped into that condescending, schoolmarmy tone that too often plagues modern cinema. I think it was most apparent to me in the constant back-and-forth between Jessica (whom, incidentally, I love in this film) and Alia, which seemed excessive to me. Mostly, though, I absolutely despise the changes he made to Chani’s character and the inevitable effects that had on her relationship with Paul. The fact that the final shot was of her walking off into the sunset was particularly egregious: it sidelined Paul in his own story, an all-too-common trope in recent film and television. And for the love of all that’s holy, I cannot fathom why he had Paul kill the baron instead of Alia. That was such an important plot point in the books (and miniseries), and to put the fatal blow in Paul’s hands effectively reduces his character arc to a revenge story, while stripping Alia of so much of her significance. It’s weird that a movie which tried so hard to turn Chani into a feminist icon stripped the agency from Alia. Somewhat off topic: why did Villeneuve go out of his way not to use terms like “weirding way” and “witch,” the latter of which is only uttered once, in passing, by an unseen background character?

Yes, in movies like Rebel Moon there were significant lore dumps. The problem is they felt very inconsequential for the story. We got to know the princess was assasinated. But it didn't translate into much of a conflict that we se on screen. We heard that the main character was an OG back in the day. I was thinking, will she be recognized by someone from the team they try to recruit/will she be recognized by some other allies or enemies than the bad general? Nah, no payoff here. We get introduced quickly to places and people like they are supposed to mean something to us. It's assumed they might mean something for the world. But we didn't get lore dumps on them beforehand for some reason so it doesn't feel impactful. Kinda frustrating.

I feel like this was Villeneuve's way of addressing the adaptation problem of both having to address exposition as well as all of the inner monologue: ignore trying to translate it into the screen. Focus on the visual to rely on storytelling. And gamble on the fact that Dune fans don't need to be told about the Butlerian Jihad to explain the lack of computers, etc etc. and more importantly, those without that background knowledge, well if they liked the movie enough, will be keen to click on the hundreds of videos and reels talking about "the lore" to learn more about it and maybe even read the book. That way, the movie doesn't get bloated with needless info dumps and doesn't try to have needless chatter or god forbid the voiceovers that really hampered Dune 84

It is more that Frank Herbert made a very deep and immersive universe, like any good to great world builder does, that detail helps others adapt or good spine and foundation to work from. The armour sets could do with more personalization, which would happen in reality with knights, warriors, and houses on top of whatever settles as a functional universal platform for weapon or armour. Frank Herbert is actually on the record to love David Lynch's film, except the ending with the rain falling and Frank Herbert's weird universe is far more instep with David Lynch artistic style then minimalistic future realism. IT is also good to not get too many exposition moments absolutely and even Lynch film didn't do long info dumps without purpose which was like covering deep universe, but his version of The Greatest Story Ever Told/historical recording being told to those watching like a wandering poet. DUNE by Lynch very much is a warping of The Greatest Story Ever told in film (which had both the actor playing the Emperor in his Dune and Max Von Sydow). I'd even recommend watching the film The Greatest Story Ever Told because it echoes in how Lynch adapted Dune with Frank Herbert. What also works is that we learn about Arrakis as the Atredius do because that is the new world for them, which is then cleverly done, weaving in us learning about the universe with freeman learning about outsiders and learning about Arrakis with the Atredius as the Freeman show them. This obviously is done well in the book but in this new film they manage that well it just could have done with a warmer colour palette like how Dune Part 2 starts is how I visualize Arrakis looking. Even Frank Herbert didn't tell you everything in the universe in the first DUNE book, but you get that element of a deeper universe behind it all, an almost naturalistic like awareness of small parts in a deep universe via giving enough but not everything.

I never could put my finger on the fact that all the other sci fi films _feel self-concious about their fictional status._ Even Star Wars! Really all the sci fi I can think of that's NOT Villeneuve's. Arrival and Blade Runner 2049 have very little exposition too. But _especially_ Arrival and the Dune movies. Brillaint analysis. I could never put my finger on the fact that THAT'S why other sci fi doesn't feel _immersive_ like Villeneuve's.

Just a small note on 10:26 The trees are not a sign of riches or luxury, their meaning is way subtle, insidious and incredibly deeper. In this scene Paul asks him. -Should we kill them? Save the water. The gardener says: - "No no, you don't see... They are sacred... they remind us of an old dream..." This together with the many ecological stations all abandoned and deserted along the movie will give a glimpse of the Fremen's true dream. Life in Arrakis, an paradise of trees and green. This is the false future that was promised to them by their colonizers, and now they work without rest, waisting their lives digging for spice, as that dream of a perfect paradise vanished, leaving only those few trees among the desert. And even so, the Fremen STILL hope, they need to believe that one day there will be a paradise on Arrakis, no matter the cost. All that from a 20 second clip... Peak writing.
