no wonder everyone prefers part two

What is an underrated sequel?

In the opening of part 2 we see the Harkonnen burn the Atreidies bodies and at the end we see Fremen burning Harkonnen instead of saving their water (Like Paul said, we'll survive by being Harkonnens).

"You introduce new characters" "Feyd Rautha?" "add new dimensions to existing locations" "he's psychotic" "and raise the stakes of the conflicts" "that's irrelevant" gods damn you're a genius

0:04 Total lie, the first line is “BAUM PAUM PAUM” Edit: nahhhhh how did this get 2k likes?

When Paul tells Gurney "I recognize your footsteps" was a call back even further to when Gurney came to train Paul at the start of part 1

Bro. I’m so excited that they got the 3rd part. This is the first movie in a LONG time I’ve been excited to see

People would have complained loudly, but Dune deserves a film trilogy with the depth, detail, and 3-hour-per-installment run time of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

dude says he wants to take his time for Dune Messiah ... that's a 12 years of age difference for the characters. I hope hes not going for that kind of realism

I was so lucky to experience Dune in a very unique. My Russian roomate and very good friend, invited me on a Friday to see Dune 2. I asked him, could ii have a night first and watch Dune 1? I watched it that night,. As soon as it ended I hit replay. The 2nd time I took notes. I was fully pulled into the world as I had never been with Star Wars. The next evening when we went to a Luxury IMAX and had Frozen Cherry Jack Daniel's drinks and IPA Ale ... It was a full experience my new friend had brought me something, special. It was my Birthday weekend, I said to him no one had ever given me a whole Universe for my Birthday before :) It was my favorite Birthday... Dune is special beyond words.

the Lord of the Rings is actually much more nuanced than even the movies- Isildur is treated like some generic fallen hero in the movies who succumbed to the ring as a result of failure of character whereas in the books it was made pretty abundantly clear that it's not physically possible to resist the ring, and Isildur actually took it better than most, to the point of eventually breaking free (he was on his way to give it to Elrond when he was ambushed and killed)

I’m still so amazed this is the Dune we got. It was so fantastic. It was a visceral experience. How the f did we get DV to direct? Zimmer to do the score? All these talented actors? Literally the best modern to date execution of CGI and practical effects to build a world. The CGI doesn’t feel CGI even though I know it is. Everything is so unique and foreign yet perfect in its place.

Eowyn : *I made some stew*💀 "All of the characters in Tolkien's story are clearly good, or clearly bad."

Part One: "This is only the beginning." Part Two: "This isn't over yet."

Paul's petulant foot stomp to make the Emperor kiss his ducal ring always makes me giggle a little bit more than I think it should.

it also works well as a satisfying middle film because it techically is the end of the first book so it does have a conclusion built in

One thing almost touched on in this video: LoTR is a fantasy, it’s about individuals and their journey. Dune is sci-fi, it’s about archetypes and change. These differences are critical distinguishing factors between fantasy and sci-fi, and these two stories are successful because they follow these rules.

One of the best theater-going experiences I’ve ever had. Dune blew me away every time!

the prescience doesnt give him agency it takes it from him. before he starts unlocking it he can make choices based on his circumstances. afterward he can see the totality of his circumstances and the outcome of all possible choices, which in effect reduces his real choices to either take the one logical path his vision gives him no matter how horrific it still ends up being or voluntarily die. seeing the future may let you know about all possible alternative ways things could go, but that knowledge collapses those possibilities into only the single course of events that incorporates all that future sight.

Just finished Dune Messiah today. That penultimate chapter is probably one of the most beautiful and saddening things I’ve read in a long time. I urge everyone to read the book before the film comes out. A good dissection of Paul at the start but really made him into a victim of his own prescience at the end.

Dune 2 is not a sequel. It’s the 2nd part of one movie. It was supposed to be filmed back to back, but the studio decided to wait for the results of part 1, to start filming part 2. Blade Runner 2049 is a sequel. Harry Potter has many sequels to the first movie.
