He was high off Spice, he wasn't hearing the worm.

things the book mentions that the movie only implies, these arent spoilers at all just things you wouldnt notice likely notice if you hadnt read the book: The bull head is the head of the bull that killed Pauls grandfather and his blood is still on the horns. Dr. Yueh knew he was going to be killed, he just did what he did to MAKE SURE his wife was dead, because being alive in the hands of the harkonnen would be far worse. Pauls mom and dad loved each other very much, the houses of Dune work like medieval houses so Pauls dad remaining unmarried is useful politically which is why he never married her. When Jessica, Pauls mom meets Shadout Mapes, the woman who gives her the crys knife, she asks jessica what it is, she answers a crys knife, she then asks its meaning, to which jessica hesitates, in the book its because she knows she will attack if she answers wrong and jessica doesnt know the answer, so she goes with "A Maker of Death" but once Shadout hears "A Maker" she has that reaction, because "The Maker" is what they call the worms. Jessica was just trying to use the religion planted by the bene gesserit to manipulate shadout, and inadvertently succeeded. Also her strange reaction was because, to shadout, jessica answering correctly was basically like if you were a die hard christian and you just got proof that you were speaking to the mother of jesus christ

Lehto was married and had a son before Jessica and Paul. his wife and son died in an assassination attempt on him. Jessica was sent in to provide a female heir, but she fell in love with Lehto and gave him a son to ease his grief. They never married as she is not recognized as noble born.

Star Wars was heavily based on Dune, hence desert planet, spice, the chosen one.

Yeah I definitely see the resemblance but I like Star Wars more or is that just me.

Those assassination wars they talk about in the books would be wild to see in this version of the universe.

So, allow me to explain the duel between Jamis and Paul and the visions surrounding it. So to start with, Paul has a vision of Chani stabbing him, but Paul knows it’s not his death and he says that he will be given a knife. Chani is the one who gives him the Knife for the duel. The Vision of Jamis states that he is a friend who will ‘Show him the ways of the Desert’. The Desert is cruel and takes the weak, only those willing to kill can survive. By fighting Paul in Amtal, Jamis shows Paul the ways of the Desert. Finally, the vision of Paul’s death, is purely metophorical, it is the death of Paul the boy, the of his innocence. As his mother states during the fight, Paul has never killed a man, Jamis is the first man Paul has ever killed. if you look closely you can see Stilgar’s expression change when she says that, Stilgar now knows Jamis is as good as dead, and the reason Jamis is screaming at Paul is because he thinks Paul is insulting him by not taking the killing blow, any other Fremen would have done so, but Paul, INNOCENT Paul, can’t do it. For Paul Atriedies to survive, the innocent boy must die, and as the vision states, when you take a life, you also take your own.

Rewatch one piece with them if they haven't seen it! :D

re: Human vs. Animal. It's not that the Reverend Mother doesn't see herself as human. It's that she doesn't see the vast majority of people as human. To quote her in the book: "A Human can override any nerve in his body". Humans are not influenced by hormones or emotions or external sensory/nervous input like heat/cold/pain/fatigue/lust/etc. They exert total conscious and voluntary control over ALL facets of their nervous system and biochemistry, including the ones that in the 20th century we think of as automatic. This is also how the Bene Gesseritt wives and concubines of the aristocracy use the elite of the empire as the breeding population for their long-term human eugenics program. This is why the Rev. Mother is cranky about Rebecca having given the Duke a son. Because as a BG trained woman she not only doesn't get pregnant unless she chooses to (no BC required, she simply controls the processes of her body), she chooses the sex and many of the genetic traits of her offspring by conscious control of the process of gestation and pregnancy. It's tens of thousands of years in the future, and humans have directed their own evolution in some weird ways.

Its amazing how everyone is so hung up on the best friend Jamis thing. It says he will be a friend that teaches him a lesson. Well Paul learnt a pretty important lesson during that fight. I don't think I've seen a single streamer latch onto the metaphor yet. Edit: I see this has already been explained earlier.

Gildarts1#fan

never seen this film before.

Purist

Since no one has mentioned it: Your companion (Sorry, I'm bad with names, lol) mentioned that Dune is set 8,000 years in the future? Sike, it's more like 20,000 years, the date displayed was 10,500ish years A.G. (After the Guild), meaning the Spacing Guild when they discovered how to use melange (the spice) to travel through interstellar space, being around 13,300ish A.D.

Nathan

Omg I’m so happy your reacting to these films

Linnaeus

The sandworms aren't an issue during the battle at Arrakeen because of the geology: the palace, the spaceport, and most of the city is built on bedrock, not sand. There's also the shield wall which is partly manmade and partly more rock formations which creates a barrier the worms can't cross. Otherwise, yeah, the city couldn't exist like it does without sandworm attacks. That's the contrast between the city dwelling natives of Arrakis and the desert-dwelling Fremen.

the spice MUST flow!

Lance Ivy

i also hate this brown sppice

Molly McAllister

Star Wars, Warhammer 40K, Battletech. All things you've covered before, all things that either drew a little or a lot (or in some cases out-right ripped-off) from DUNE (the original novel is from 1965, and it is a BRICK of a tome. That it's 'good enough to get an adaptation' is an understatement, the main thing that's held-back adaptation is that it's so damned Dense.

Lance Ivy

alot of stuff was not explained well so i feel the need to post this .. duke atraides was a good ruler and great at politics . the other houses for the most part loved him . so much so that his polital influnce kind of became a threat to the emporor. Baron Harkon not only ran Aarakus for a long time looking only at number his ran it very well the spice has never flowed so well as it did under there rule becasue they had no problem using slave labor and working many people to death to do it . years of record high spice production made the harkonins very wealthy ...so wealthy that they wealth thretened the emperor a little bit ...

Just before the fight at the end, Paul saw a vision of Jamis stabbing him and winning the duel, but sparing his life. If that had happened, Jamis would have taught him, and they would have been friends. You see him helping him up in the vision. But Paul chose to win the fight, thinking Jamis would accept the defeat, but instead, he forced him to kill him. Paul can see possible futures, but they aren't set in stone. That's not spoilers, just the way the movie should have possible timelines.

No, in the vision Jamis killed Paul and held his hand as he was dying, in order to comfort Paul's last moments. Paul reversed the roles.

largo778 .

The Spice must Flow I do recommend the 1984 version (good movie but the ending totally missed the point), and the 2000 SyFy Dune and Children of Dune miniseries (best DIRECT adaptations of events, but misses a lot)

You called Caladan Cal, but in the books it eventually becomes known as Dan. Voice is a learned ability to modulate your voice to subcountiously make a person do what you aske them to. Skilled users can actually say one thing but command the target to do the opposite. They guy with eyes that gave the cost of the trip was a Mentat, a human who has trained to be a living super computer because (for reasons) all advanced computers are banned in the Dune universe. Personal opinion, this is the only version of Dune to get Paul accurate. He's suppose to be (in the books) about 15 and small for his age. Freman saying: God made Arrakis to test the faithful. The Baron is floating as he uses a gravity suspensors because of his weight, and has a really long cloak thingy. Kynes was a gender swap, though this is one of the few cases where the gender swap actually works better, though her death was a bit more dramatic than the book versions death.

Dune is one of those sci-fi tales thats so influential that if you saw somthing that reminded you of something else, it was probably inspired by Dune.

i always think of that post when watching this movie: "in a move so unsurprising there is a 1000-year old prophecy about it, a bunch of rich dudes are unable to peacefully share a planet made of cocaine"

CrazyChameleon

Just fyi the older version of this movie is campty cheesty and not at all accurate to the books. But it's still worth watching if you like a laugh. Also a few things that aren't explained in the movie. Jessica defied her order to give Leto a son because she loved him. She's walking a very fine line between being a traitor to her order and her loyalty to Leto. Jessica is by far not beyond criticism. But she's not quite as brainwashed as the movie makes her out to be. Second! Leto didn't marry Jessica she's his concubine. But he never got married the potential for an allience through marriage was too powerful of a political tool not to use. And third. It's not that men aren't powerful with the bene gesserit power it's that they are too powerful. And every man who tries to fully awaken to their powers dies in the process. But theoretically would be the most powerful bene gesserit of all. So they've been doing this breeding shit trying to make a man that can survive the process. The bene gesserit is less of a cult but rather a political organization that uses cults and religion to manipulate society. They are utterly cynical about it.

There is an important thing with the bulls head that they had hanging on the wall. That was the bull that killed Paul's grandfather.

Some nomadic people in North Africa do wear black in the desert, except those are very loose pieces of clothing. It help circulate the air underneath by convection as it and also absobs more heat without it reaching the wearer's skin. Basically it's a natural way of protecting the skin as well as creating a fan effect below your cloths. But since Paul is wearing tight clothes he would be cooked.

Rampage melone

I feel like you guys were going way too deep when Paul first gets exposed to spice. He's basically having a first exposure high on the drug that is spice. It's overwhelming him, and then when his trainer/mentor comes to get him, he's saying I recognize your footsteps because nobody can sneak up on him. He recognizes his mentor's footsteps anywhere. He can't communicate with giant sand creatures lol. The thing he was hearing when he was tripping was A: the voices in his head saying he needs to awaken as the kwisatz haderack or B: the benne gezzerites saying it to him in the future, and him being able to hear the future conversations.

ok but what if a masochist puts their hand in the pain box?

Mechkami44

To be a Dune fan for decades the joy in my veins when someone does a proper theatrical version is so good. [And yes before my fellow book nerds do ERM AKCHUALLY, yes it is a good idea your favorite scene got cut. :3]

PWAW

I can't possibly be the only one who first heard of Zendaya because of this movie, right?
