i love this movie but i have some of these same questions also

how will he do it but i was skeptical he could pull it off in dune part 2 and i think he did so idk we will see

the story def gonna be even more diff than the book than these two movies were cause the changes that were made

i think they f***ed up not making dune into a trilogy

12 hour audiobook, s*** could make 3 movies easy

that’s sorta how I felt about Part 1 initially but it grew on me over repeat viewings. I had years of expectations built in my head from reading the books & the bar was set high because of how great 2049 was

but once I got on board with his take on the world & went with it, there’s so much to like & both movies paired together just become undeniable

A long book doesn’t always equate to a good movie. Adaptation is necessary

i defintely agree i think there is enough content there tho

Still can’t stop thinking about this

That Austin Butler performance

Javier Bardem as comedic relief

Rebecca Ferguson

Hans Zimmer score

I need the 15hr cut

I try to answer my best reasoning

Narratively being Kynes daughter doesn’t serve much purpose beyond tying Paul more to Stilgar, since he’s Chani’s uncle, but Stilgar is already devoted to Paul as a prophet. That’s why genderbending Kynes didn’t matter too much imo.

Space guild is an afterthought. Paul controls the spice which controls the space guild. The houses not accepting Paul as emperor serves a better narrative purpose for the holy war/jihad, but definitely takes away some of the “bad guy” connotations for Paul. Also if I recall, some of the houses didn’t accept Paul anyways.

Chani in the movie is more explicitly there to tell the audience that Paul’s not a messiah and is manipulative/not a “good guy.” Paul already said she’ll “come around” so I’m not too stressed with her appearing to leave Paul. Alia’s story was mostly left out since they condensed the time but I don’t think the story suffers for it. Dune 3 will probably time skip and allow her to have a more physical role.

If dune 3 is basically messiah though I think a lot of people will be disappointed in the big time skip. He might dedicate the intro to showing the jihad but it’s really about the after effects, ruling as emperor and all the damn conspiracies and L’s stacking up. So I wonder if instead he’ll make some kind of bridge movie between end of dune 1 and beginning of dune messiah.

Feel like they left it open ended to keep the story going

Bvs?

Bringing BVS into this

"Lead them to paradise"

people still debating bvs almost 10 years later

Oh brother

Bruh the ships were flying they clearly knew how to pilot them

They showed Chani flying one of the ornithopters too they're not savages

It's like he didn't see all the other tech they operated that was just as advanced as flying ships

I wanted to wear Rick for the rest of the year after this scene lol

i see people who are stupid enough to think dune is a white savior movie like did we watch the same movie bro kills everyone and starts a holy war. it’s suppose to be a critic of charismatic leader, part 3 spoiler he compares himself to hitler in the next book, 60b people die in the holy war

BVS disrespect is wild

In terms of special effects and cinematography, this movie is up there

But for some reason they couldn't get the crowds in this scene right, s*** looked like one of those early 2000s video games animation
