🎬 In this FilmSpeak video essay we discuss why Dune Part Two is a masterpiece and how Dune Part Two changed my life.
🔔 SUBSCRIBE: kzfaq.info?sub_con...
In this Dune Part Two review and Dune 2 analysis, we delve deep into why Dune Two stands as a monumental achievement in the realm of blockbuster cinema. Join me on a journey as I share how this film not only changed my perspective but also left an indelible mark on my life.
My experience with Dune was anything but straightforward. Initially, Dune Part One didn't quite resonate with me, I literally made a video called I watched Dune and felt nothing, leading to a period of turbulence in my appreciation for the epic saga. However, I couldn't shake the feeling that the disconnect lay within me rather than the film itself. And oh, how grateful I am that I persisted.
Dune has since become a cinematic obsession, gripping me with its unparalleled storytelling, breathtaking visuals, and profound thematic depth. With each subsequent viewing, I uncover new layers, and the film's hold on me only strengthens. It's a testament to the craftsmanship of Denis Villeneuve and his team, with a key assist from Hans Zimmer perfect Dune soundtrack, who have created an experience that transcends mere entertainment.
In many ways, Dune harkens back to a golden era of blockbuster filmmaking, reminiscent of the 2000s when spectacle, risk-taking, and visionary storytelling reigned supreme. It evokes the same sense of awe and wonder as classics like the Star Wars Prequels, the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, leaving an indelible mark on audiences and creating lifelong fans in the process.
Join me as we explore why Dune Part Two is not just a film, but a transformative experience-one that pushes the boundaries of what is expected from blockbuster entertainment and sets a new standard for cinematic excellence cementing Denis Villeneuve as one of the greatest filmmakers of our time. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Dune Part Two movie review, Dune Part Two video essay, and Dune Part Two explained video in this super in depth Dune video essay and analysis. Simply put, dune part two is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Dune 2 is a masterpiece, Dune Part Two is Perfect, and Dune Part Two will change cinema forever.

A detail of the film I thought was scary was in the end, the Freman don’t even collect the bodies for water anymore, they just burn them. That’s how much they blindly believe water will soon be coming to the planet. Edit: I'd like to add from what some people have said in the comments. Yes, I know that it’s supposed to mirror the beginning of the film how the Harkonnens were burning the Atreides bodies, and now under Paul’s ruling, the Freman are burning the Harkonnen bodies. There’s also the perspective that Harkonnen water is basically only good for stillsuits compared to drinking it. But additionally, the Freman didn't even think to feed the bodies to the worms either. They won't even offer the bodies to their god. Goes to show how far they've strayed by following Paul.

Usul is his war name. Kind of like the pseudonym or call sign of modern soldiers. (In Top Gun, "Maverick" is the callsign of Tom Cruise's character) Muad'dib is his Fremen name.

Like my experience and the video...For people who haven't read the book it's a slow burner experience. The lore and source material is great but the movie doesn't force this on us by having to explain everything but invites us in. The 1984 didn't give it justice so people coming into to the new movies brought in a weird pre taste. The recent movies let us unravel the greatness of the Dune epic..

@ralph90009 Ай бұрын

I'm a huge fan of the original books, and Part 1 was… ok. There's a ton of setup (even with all they cut out) and most of the payoff is in Part 2. There really isn't a way to fit all of it coherently into one movie, the fact that Villeneuve managed to make it even recognizable - let alone magnificent as it was - in two movies is still amazing.

A point: The Kwisaz Haderach is by definition a male. The plan of the Bene Gesserit was to have Leto and Jessica's daughter have a son with Feyd Ruatha and that was to be the Kwisaz Haderach, but under Bene Gesserit control instead of out in the wild with an axe to grind and phenomenal cosmic power. Edit: Also, the Fremen Messiah/ Lisan Al Gaib is a prophecy manufactured by the Bene Gesserit's Missionara Protectiva in case a sister is marooned with the Fremen. They have these seeded in indigenous populations throughout the imperium. They are unrelated to the Kwisaz Haderach breeding program.

@tatianar9429 Ай бұрын

Kwisaz Haderach was intended a culmination of 90-or-so, if I remember correctly, generations of eugenics. The fact of the matter is yes, there's some genetic crossover between Paul Atreidis and what the program was looking to create, but there are genetic lines and ancestral memories that Paul simply doesn't have access to, because quite a few noble houses' genoms were being collected in Feud-Rautha. So Paul's precognition and access to genetic memories and enhancements is not as complete as it could have been if Kwisaz Haderach were actually born. Paul with all his phenomenal cosmic powers is a pale approximation of powers his intended progeny would've had. Whether he would be under the Bene Gesserit's control or not is debatable: people and institutions nearly always overestimate how controllable things they create are, especially since the creation would have ended up so phenomenally more powerful that any of the people aiming to control him.

Taking the "Paul as villain" analysis too far by ignoring that Paul's extreme prescience is part of the diegetic reality of Dune. Paul is not perfect, nor omniscient, but he _is_ profoundly prescient and his visions, especially after drinking the Water of Life, are not delusions. They don't always come true because he sees the landscape of possible futures, not _the_ singular future. Something more akin to quantum probabilities. While it is true that he becomes a villain from the perspective of billions of people across the galactic empire, he does so because he is choosing (or at least attempting to choose) the "least evil" path for the greatest part of humanity. Paul's prescience confronts him with the _trolley problem,_ but on an unimaginable scale. He certainly possess human weaknesses and the bias of his upbringing as royalty to believe himself, possessed of an innate right to lead, to rule. This is not in and of itself evil, especially if the sees his role as that of steward. There is an arrogance to it, of course. But if you were taught from birth that it was your natural place to rule, you'd be hard pressed not to believe it. Further more, once power comes to you, it is nearly impossible to relinquish, however much you may wish to. You may abdicate, but having given up your power, those who fill the vacuum will always see you as a potential threat. You will never be safe. Few consider this _trap_ that royalty are born into, not of their own choosing. Because the books let us see Paul's thoughts, we know him to be far more selfless than most people. We cannot know for sure whether his choice of the "least evil" path is, indeed, the least evil, because while his prescience is real, it is not omniscient or absolute. His motive may not be absolutely pure, but they are cleaner than most. In this way Herbert succeeds to well: he gave us a hero, a dictator, that we would easily root for, "for all the right reason". Thus Herbert undermines his own intended _warning_ about charismatic leaders and fanatical loyalty. Even _Dune Messiah_ and subsequent boos fail to wholly repair this flawed, nearly contradictory, message.

@@ryanhampson673 Yes, but because of Paul's prescience he knows this is going to happen ahead of time, so he has a degree of responsibility for it. The prescience complicates every moral question about Paul's actions. On the one hand he foresees the prices of his revenge, but on the other hand he sees deep time and that the jihad is ultimately a lesser evil for humanity as a whole.

Agreed, it also gets even more convoluted by the time of God-Emperor, with Leto II stating that humanity would have been extinct if not for the golden path.

What I adore about Paul’s arc is that it’s similar to what i used to love Eren Jaeger for. He does these horrible things yes, because he is corrupted but he genuinely chose THE best option to save all of humanity and the fremen. In so many futures the enemies win, the Harkonnens exhibit evil dominance over the galaxy, the emperor murdering the Fremen, the entire universe failing etc. he does all of the awful things you said he does in the movie but at the same time, he quite literally has no other choice. That complexity of knowing what you do is awful but it’s somehow still the most beneficial choice for all is such an interesting and complex conflict and I love how many ways you can look at it and the effects that pressure must have on a young man

I read Dune in my late teens just before travelling. It was a formidable story that in a way helped shape how we made sense of the Middle East and Northern Africa as the world of that time came to grips with oil nations asserting their sovereignty across global politics. The story is still timely post Arab Spring, Afghanistan, Syria and now Palestine. Or even the rise of the political right across the West and how religion is now playing into that as a unifying force of supposed moral good.Slowly dropping the pretence of democracy for military might and increasing authoritarianism global politics in different quarters appears to be trying to similarly make Gods out of our leaders and our beliefs of them as such. Dune will stay with you that’s for sure.

As for the characters,I don't think it was something he ever mentioned of doing so to them especially chani it was a shock. For the audience who don't really know anything about dune ,it was a shock because they was only ever shown of Paul and chani being destined to be together in both movies to then actually becoming a thing finally in the second film,so when that happens to them it was a shock because they didn't see it coming

What exactly was Paul supposed to do? His options were to either become the Lisan al-Ghaib or let the Harkonnens win. There was no third option. It seems unfair to blame Paul for a situation ultimately engineered by a superpowered space CIA. While I think the film communicates Frank Herbert's intent well, Herbert's story undercuts the themes he was trying to convey. Dune is a great story but it fails at doing what Herbert wanted it to do: Make Paul a bad guy.

@KymHammond Ай бұрын

This needs to be asked in terms of cinema first: what are the terms for assuring a successful blockbuster for a story that had historically struggled to succeed as popular entertainment? As for the story, Herbert had a complex understanding of the world: of societies, of beliefs, Of the types of characters they would produce, and of the powers of women. looks at the women writers of his time and who they were sourcing, and then at that age old question around the influences women have on their children generation after generation.

She encourages Paul to get in touch with his psychic abilities, dispite the fact that he is so afraid of his visions of death if he rises to power.In the movie it's like: I'm afraid and Chani doesn't want me in power, but I'll do it anyway. The rest is perfect. Amazing adaptation.

One thing I didn't understand is if Paul was afraid of causing billions of deaths, why didn't he try to negotiate with the Landsraad? Like maybe he could have tried to negotiate over control of Arrakis and spice production but let someone else be emperor. Obviously control over Arrakis gives great power and I'm not sure the Landsraad would agree but Idk just a thought would love to hear what others think

Negotiating with the Landsraad also would have caused the death of billions. If he convinced them, it would have meant war with the Imperium. If he failed, then he would be a sitting duck for his enemies. There was nothing Paul could have done to stop billions from dying because it wasn't his fault.

I don't remember the last time I put in this much effort into trying to watch a KZfaq video.

I see this in a different light. Paul has always known he's the son of his father and mother, the question is which way does he go: he wanted to choose his father's way, the way of trust, love, and leading, but ultimately, he went his mother's way, the way of secret, power, and controlling. In the process, he walked his own path for a while - those moments he's with Chani - and deviated from the Bene Gesserit's planning path, which is also his maternal grandmother's way. In the end, it's the family-killing Harkonnen blood came on top - his maternal grandfather's way. The deviation is important, because other than this bit, everything seemed to be under Bene Gesserit's control - even Lady Jessica's rebellion. The moment Paul and Chani fell in love and had a future, Bene Gesserit's fate was sealed. And this deviation echoes with his mother's rebellion, in that they are both results of love (Jessica decided to have a boy instead of a girl out of love for Leto, Chani became the mother of the future God-Emperor as a complete outsider of House politics). In other words, determinism, though seemingly inevitable, is doomed to fail because of love. But all in all, it's a bloody mess.

In the end that's irrelevant, actions are what's important. Paul does in fact lead the Fremen to paradise as the prophecy foretold. The problem isn't if the prophecy is real or not, the problem is that nobody questioned how would the Lisan Al-Gaib accomplish that or if it was in fact a good thing for the Fremen or not. In the end, the Fremen had what they wished, but they also lost their culture and sense of self. Was it worth it?

Everyone said that was unfilmable too, until Peter Jackson came along. It just takes the right person with the right vision and enough resources.

I mostly agree with your interpretation. Where I part with it is the notion that he's a victim of his own arrogance and self-delusion all the way until the end. He *knows* what he's doing in the final war. He foresees the path that he finally takes. He understands, almost entirely, the path he's finally taking. The truth is, Paul flat out *changes his mind.* He changes his mind, in part, because of the Harkonnen attack on the sietch. Of course, in the book, his change of mind is more understandable because his infant child was killed and his sister was kidnapped in the attack.

@lidu6363 19 күн бұрын

I understood so many parts differentlly. To list a few... Paul being the Kwisatz Haderach was NOT what the Bene Gesserit wanted because the whole point of their planning was to have him under their control. Paul was not searching for "greatness," likely the opposite. But after gaining the sight from the Water of Life, he stopped being himself, and the part that remained wanted revenge.

@purpleheart3431 Ай бұрын

44:46 OH MY GOSH I GET IT!!! I could only really see the “surface level” metaphors of the atreides charging the bull. I just couldn’t grasp the deeper, ultimate, theme. Until NOW!!! You said it!!! Paul is the bull being led by the red cloth! The trauma he experienced, the visions, the guidance of his mother and his training, it was all a red cloth. It gently coaxed him throughout his life to finally charge at the exact moment everyone wanted. He was corrupt from the beginning, and it also makes sense that the spice corrupted them. Chani and the other fremen aren’t corrupted by it because they have a sense of self. Paul has no sense of self, he only has his visions and his idea of what is right (which is very easily manipulated). I’m currently reading children of dune, and the twins explain how in order to survive and not become corrupt they must NOT falter and drink the water of life. I finally get one of the larger themes aahhh! This was a MASTERPIECE of a video, I’m so glad I clicked!!❤

@HolographicThoughts 4 күн бұрын

Filmspeak's and your interpretation of the characters is off the mark, imo though. Paul's flaws aren't corruption per se, but just basic humanity. The Bene Gesserit didn't intend Paul to be the Kwisatz Haderach, otherwise they would have prevented the Harkonnen slaughter of House Atreides. It too, is Jessica's basic humanity that allowed her to love and get attached to Leto and alter her embryo of Paul from female to male, since Leto wanted a son. (The original plan is to infiltrate the Harkonnen succession through Feyd-Rautha's son- seen in pt2) Frankly speaking every disaster is downstream of Jessica's selfishness for wanting a loving relationship. Skip ahead to Paul's awakening and prescience, he rejects the Bene Gesserit for their complacency in House Atreides being a sacrificial pawn, and hates the Emperor for oppressing the Fremen. His immediate sense of vengeance is pretty appropriate for being made disposable. Feyd's future son on the other hand, has no reason to hate the Bene Gesserit and would be a compliant ally to the Emperor, so the BG, in their original plan, were free to direct the Imperium as they saw fit. Without going into specific spoilers, Paul's long term choices are demonstrably selfless. He's agonizing about the hardship he must impose in order for humanity to continue. That's definitely not corruption. Anyway, you can just ignore this if you like.
