Matrix part one
I think Dem also told us he role too in part 1, and I don watch alot of film Dem use dat word nd the picture was clear even a novice will know it undecided

Alot of people no watch the first dune ND no even read about it........... ok now 4get about Paul Atriedes mata ND still alot is not explained in 2hrs.
1)Why are the Harkkunen evil?
2)The Mother and Grandmother have special powers, why?
3)Paul is the one, yes anybody can guess he's role but why him?
Josh ND Jason both of Dem did nothing in the movie ND both re the main fighter for the Atreades
Zandaya na dis wan pain me pass, she the reason why I'm interested in dune angry OK I only see her in the same repeated visions.
action and character emotions 3/10

Who never read the book or watch the old one, would have no idea what was going on ND I'm one of Dem undecided
i think oyetpel has answered you thereby saving me from writing a very long epistle. I now see the problem, you saw the cast and you were expecting action and bang from start to finish, and that's where you got it wrong, because lovers of the books clearly know this particular installment will be somewhat of a character building phase and i think it clearly met the expectations of those who have read the book that's what fantasy series or movies are about (see LOTR, GOT etc for E.G) at the beginning.

And to add, people who haven't even read the book that i know of enjoyed the movie too, knowing part 2 and possibly part 3 will bring "greater joy" because the stage have been set by this part 1.

Duke Atreides knew the Emperor plan to destroy him by giving him Arrakis, but its a call he can't refuse. And there is a lot of money to be made on Arrakis by mining spice.
So having an insight into the Emperor's doom plan for him, he also had a strategy in mind and some of his advisors know about it, which is to find a way to bring the Fremen to his side as allies. Because he believe with his House army and Fremen army they can defeat any incoming war from either House Harkkonen or the Emperor.
That's why he sent Jason Mamoa to the Fremen to learn their ways and bring them to their side. But the Fremen need a lot of convincing because of how House Harkkonen handled them.

Boss, Duke is smart o.

But his plans didn't come to fruition because his enemies moved in on him too quickly.

They know how tactical and smart Duke is, that was why House Harkkonen strikes him from within by using his House doctor.
House Atreides doctor too is a long story on its own.

Josh Brolin (Gurney) escaped the invasion to fight another day, just like Ser Barristan Selmy in GoT.

Dune setting is like a fight for throne with House scheming and all.
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by J2381: 5:40pm On Nov 01, 2021
oyetpel:

I think I can answer No. 1 and 3

1) The Harkkonen are not evil, even though they rule Arrakis with a very strict and often cruel way.
They preside over Arrakis with order from the Emperor. The Emperor is like the overall ruler in the universe, and anybody from a great house can become an Emperor, but House Currino have been ruling as Emperor for years.
Now, Duke Atreides is becoming successful and the Emperor fear that Duke's success and developed influence may hinder him in decision making. Heck with Duke's influence in the Laadsrad (like a senate of great houses), he could overthrow the Emperor.
So, the Emperor's solution to stopping the rise of Duke was planned.
House Atreides and House Harkkonen have a long standing hatred for each other. So the Emperor did as if he collected dune from House Harkkonen to give House Atreides, but it was an attempt to destroy House Atreides, in that if House Harkkonen was to wage war against House Atreides it will be seen as a result of their past hatred for each other.
And so it will not seem as if its the Emperor that wants to personally destroy Duke because if the Laadsrad find out the Emperor did such, they can impeach him.


3) You see, the Bene Gesserit are magical and powerful, and they are also part of government.
Dune is set like 10,000 years after the current year we are in, computers are wiped out. So human beings with special powers are the ones doing the work of computers, and each are trained by different organisations and assigned to great houses. E.g Mentat (Thufir Hawat, he is like the computer brain of House Atreides) ordinary human being cannot do his work.
Now, spice is a substance that heightens the abilities of these special people.
Now, understand that Paul Atreides is like 14-15 years old in the setting of this movie.

The parts that one cannot learn in the movie is that;
*The mother Bene Gesserit is the mother of Lady Jessica (Paul's mother)

*Wladimir Harkkonen is the father of Lady Jessica.

The Bene Gesserit believes they have solution to their universe problems, so they started a breeding exercise to bring forth to the world a MESSIAH.
In the course of this breeding arrangement, the Mother Bene Gesserit went to Wladimir Harkkonen to sleep with him but the child had deformity and it was killed. She later went to Wladimir Harkkonen to mate again, but he was under alcoholic influence I think, so he raped Mother Bene Gesserit and she placed a curse on him, which made him so obese that he had to implant endoskeleton tech to be able to move and float.
Now the child as a result of the rape is Lady Jessica.

Obviously Duke Atreides has a wife before, but because of their breeding program the Bene Gesserit must have made Lady Jessica seduced Duke to get entangled with him. In line with this, Lady Jessica was to give birth to a daughter whom when old enough will be married to another great house male child to continue breeding till they get that 'ONE' (Kwisatz Haderach).
So assuming Lady Jessica gets pregnant, once she notice it's a boy she will have to terminate it.
But Lady Jessica first child was a boy (Paul), so she decided to keep it. And she also had that personal believe that the Kwisatz Haderach was Paul reason she didn't terminate Paul.
But the Bene Gesserit also saw signs that Paul had the qualities of being 'the One' but because they had not reached their full planned breeding, they believe the arrival of Paul as the ONE was too early and might cause problems for them.
Reason why the Mother tested Paul with the Gom Jabber, assuming Paul could not withstand that unimaginable pain, he would have been killed right there.
Jeez bro. In explaining you spoiled Dune 2 and 3. Not to worry, by the time it comes out I'm sure the thread would have progressed past this page. grin

Sorry chief, just didn't like how he was trying to berate one of the best films I have watched in recent times.
And to think if not because of the hype on this thread before its release, I won't even know about a film called Dune.

I feel the movie should have been a series.
Maybe they opt against it because of budget I don't know.

But Dune have a mini series that was done in I think 2000-2001, I am planning to download it soon.

I also plan to download the first adaptation of Dune into a movie release in 1984 to get a better understanding of dune.

The movie isn't as bad as you painted it to be, it's still one of my best 2021 movie, and from the good reviews online and the ratings, it's a very nice movie, I can't wait for part 2 though, but waiting until October 2023 for part 2 is too far.

its not too far, its standard time for Hollywood sequels

DUNE ......7.5/10

Very entertaining movie. Rich visuals. Great lore and world building. Interesting magical powers.


I don't understand the whining it's not understandable. It's pretty straight forward if you pay attention to details.

My main issue with it is the way House Attreides was obliterated. Such wipeout of an army shouldn't be that easy even if you caught unawares. Yep, I'm aware a traitor made it easy. But still.

Anxiously waiting for the next installment. At least next year we'll return back to Dune's world with the new TV show.

Faze the Nigerian artiste once said "na who know pesin dey kill pesin" (in yoruba). That's exactly what happened to House Atreides, remember the same pesin almost delivered another back to back hit? grin
