From the 2021 film adaptation of Frank Herbert's, Dune.
In the distant future, Duke Leto Atreides, ruler of the planet Caladan, is assigned by the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV to replace Baron Vladimir Harkonnen as the fiefholder of Arrakis, a harsh desert planet and sole source of "spice", a valuable psychotropic drug that imparts heightened vitality and awareness. Spice is key to interstellar travel, giving Spacing Guild Navigators the ability to guide starships to traverse space instantaneously and safely. Shaddam plots for House Harkonnen to retake Arrakis, secretly aided by his Sardaukar troops, to destroy House Atreides. Leto is suspicious of the Emperor but weighs the risks against the power of controlling Arrakis and making an alliance with its mysterious natives, the Fremen.
The Emperor, suspicious of House Atreides' power, conspires with House Harkonnen to invade Arrakis with the legendary elite soldiers, the Sardaukar. An attempt to assassinate Paul with a hunter-seeker fails. Yueh betrays the Atreides and disables Arrakeen's shields, allowing the Harkonnens and Sardaukar to invade. He incapacitates Leto, planning to exchange him for his wife, who is the Baron's prisoner. Yueh replaces one of Leto's teeth with a poison gas capsule with which the Duke can assassinate the Baron. Leto releases the gas, killing himself and the Baron's Mentat, Piter De Vries, but the Baron survives. Though the Baron has arranged to have Paul and Jessica dropped deep in the desert to die, a compassionate Yueh has left them with stillsuits and other survival supplies. Jessica uses a Bene Gesserit technique called "the Voice" to overpower and kill their captors. Paul and Jessica overnight in the desert where Paul, surrounded by spice, has visions of a bloody "holy war" fought across the universe in his name.

The Sardaukar most likely saw the Harkonen as the other houses see them, pretty much as opportunistic cowards. Remember, the Sardaukar Commander that was with Piter, was skeptic about helping the Harkonen, and was quite clear that the reason the Sardaukar legions were sent to help was cause they were ordered by the Emperor nothing else.

@michaelsnyder3871 7 ай бұрын

In the book, the surviving Atreides forces retreat into the caves in the Shield Walls to try and drag out the defense to buy time for Leto to capture some Sardaukar to parade before the Landsraad. They don't know that he is dead. And that the Baron expected this very tactic and has had old style chemical explosive artillery built. The shells fired by this artillery cannot kill the Atreides Soldiers with their personal combat shields but instead, he uses the artillery to seal the Atreides troops into the cave which become their graves. Some of the troops are able to meet up with the Fremen and withdraw to a rally point or they find ways out of the caves. That's where Gurney rallies what's left of the troops and takes refuge with the smugglers.

What I adore of this scene is the clash of different ideologies and tactics from the visuals to the sounds. Atreides are incredibly disciplined, quick acting and have the pipes to inspire. The Harkonnen have their terrifying war horn, a simple marching chant and thousands upon thousands of warriors to overwhelm their foe to make up for their lack of skill. And then the Sudaukar are near silent, hovering down with advanced technology to just clinically eradicate their foes. They need no war horn, no pipes. Just their voice, just their alien throat singing preaching of their marshal pride.

I love this scene perfectly addressing one of my movie pet peeves: soldiers in a battle just drawing weapons and charging with no regard for formation or tactics. We see that initially with Gurney leading the charge, but that's an emergency reaction. The enemy landed a hundred feet away from them. But as soon as we cut inside, once the Atreides have had a moment to fall back and organize, they have formed a battle line with high ground and polearms that wreck the Harkonnen until the Sardukkar respond with their own clever tactic by using their grav belts to flank from behind.

@Alexander-yb1zc 6 ай бұрын

I loved this too, I think gurney realised that charging was the only real option. The Harkonnens had armour and numbers but were currently disorganised as they were disembarking. So charging in made sense for once ! And like you said it bought time for the troops in the castle to organise.

@phousefilms 4 ай бұрын

It's not just that. The Atreides all turn to face the Sardaukar when they drop. You see the Harkonnen troops don't move when the Atreides soldiers turn to take advantage of that. The Sardaukar don't even lose one of their soldiers to the Atreides in their initial attack here, while the Atreides soldiers die fairly quickly.

I've always found that to be a rather stupid claim. Someone needs to command and order strategy in war. If a general goes out to the front line to shoot at the enemy, he is foolish. His responsibility is to order the battle in such a way as to achieve the objective with as few casualties as necessary. Any man can hold a rifle, but not just anyone can be a general. A soldier falls and there are others to take his place. The same cannot be said for a commander. I get what the phrase is meant to imply, but on its face it's actually quite stupid.

@@joshuafischer684 I like to think there's a difference between a battlefield general, a war general and strategist.

Then there's generals like Napoleon great strategist and war general but when he lead from the front no one followed him (i.e, Battle of Arcole). So there's merit to the quote. But thats just me.

Its a good possibility. The shields get levied on how powerful they are but its shown again and again there are actually many workarounds for them. In fact to the point that they actually aren't even all that effective when you leverage their weaknesses. I think the idea is to juxtapose the mentality of the two combatants. The Harkonean using cheating tactics with weapons designed to overcome the shields easily from a distance. Compared to the Atredes who fight honorably up close and give their opponents a chance.

@@gwell2118 Shields have one weakness - slow moving attacks can pass, that's it. People will always find ways to beat defensive equipment, be it shields, walls, moats etc and with this energy shield technology it is the same. It is only logical that people in Dune have figured out how to destroy shielded ships by using bombs/missiles/drones that are programmed to slow down near impact with the shield but once they pass they will explode. That's not cheating, that's finding countermeasures for something and i'm pretty sure the Atreides and all other houses have such weapons in their arsenal too. Also what is honorable about engaging in hand to hand? Atreides are not dumb, honor doesn't factor in that at all. Had the Atreides known the attack was coming they would have foought conventionally with air forces, guns, artillery and only hand to hand as a last resort. It just makes for a more exciting visual seeing Gurney leading them into a desperate last stand attack because by that point they had already lost but to believe they would give away any military logic to go hand to hand Samurai style is just not realistic in the context who Atreides are.

Imagine how many expertly trained, lethal fighters the Atreides had that hated the Harkonnen. They probably took out thousands Harkonnen before being wiped out.

It's interesting to note that in the novels, the slow-moving bombs would not have worked. Holtzman shields actually only allow slow moving objects to pass through when tuned for it, and this is done for personal shielding because otherwise, the user would suffocate. They wouldn't be able to walk properly, or grasp objects either. There is also considerable visual distortion if I am not wrong, due to the shield interaction with photons. However, large scale shielding used for vehicles (which are mostly hover-based or flight capable) and for buildings can have their own air recycling systems. So their shields are tuned to reject objects of any speed. The lynchpin of the Harkonnen attack is actually Doctor Yueh sabotaging the shields of the Atriedes compound. That being said, I think it was a great decision to leave out this detail. Explaining to viewers that there are different types of shield settings is a bit dubious in a movie where there's already so much to absorb, and in our modern understanding of technology, industry and defense, it was plausible that one man could sabotage the entire defense of a stronghold back in 1965. Not quite so today, when we expect this level of scale and multi-layered defense.

The novel was written 50 years ago by one person, the author of the original book could afford some nonsense. The concept of a nuclear explosion when using laser weapons is also a bad crutch for the plot. Denis Villeneuve was able to remove the nonsense from the book, showing a more realistic picture of what was happening.

@@The.CombineThe thing with laser weapons causing nuclear explosions was because lasguns utilize the Holtzmann effect just like shields do.

Just as important. In the books, the personal shield has eliminated projectile weapons from the battlefield and now muscle weapons dominate. Even projectiles fired from warbows, crossbows or slings cannot penetrate the shields. Now armies once again assemble into combat formations and engage in hand to hand combat using swords and daggers, What Herbert misses out in this plot twist, is that pikes, spears, halberds and other pole weapons also become effective again. Batter your enemy down to the ground with the axe head of the halberd and then slowly push the spear point through the field to finish him. It also meant that while camouflage remained important for skirmishers and scouts, the primary combat formations could be dressed in uniforms of colors. This is something the old SciFi mini-series gets right. In the book, Thufir Hawat is captured by Sardaukar coming from a cliff using grav belts and w/o shields depending on knife work to defeat the combined Atreides-Fremen force. They are specifically said to be wearing blue uniforms, not environmental suits. This combat is taking part inside the Shield Walls in that part of Arakis which IS NOT the deep desert. When the Sardaukar or Harkonens venture into the desert, they wear stillsuits like everyone else. In the last chapters before Paul's final defeat of the Sardaukar and Harkonens, he uses the people of the villages as shock troops because of their hatred produced by the Sardaukar grabbing whatever women they wanted and decorating their standards with the heads of any who objected. The point is that you don't need standards if you're not going to fight in formations.

One thing that stands out is how much variation in technology there is between each element of warfare: The heighliners are Uber futuristic, capable of supporting interstellar travel. The spaceship dropping below looks just as much, but the air bags look like something out of a 1950 sci-fi on how airdrops will work in the 2000s. The ornithopters are also futuristic, but everything is forced into analog as computers are banned, and you see a control panel similar to a 60s chopper. The bombs are nothing crazy (no anti matter or nukes or anything), but easily passed through ships’ shields and detonate inside. The anti aircraft missiles look like something you would see right now in a ground to air defense system And of course there is the one on one combat. Because technology advanced so much, people have to resort back to using swords and spears. And that is truly something amazes me in the movie’s design

In spite of how much of an influence the Dune Novels had on the Sci Fi Genre that followed after it, this series still holds an identity to it that makes it unique compared to later Sci Fi settings like Star Wars or Star Trek by comparison.
