As someone who finally is deciding to get into Dune, it’s really weird realizing that “oh… everybody in all of fiction stole from this” even more than LOTR it feels like

Still waiting for the part 2 breakdown
CuriousArchive (4 years ago)
Alt Shift X releasing 86 minutes of analysis on Dune. Bless the Maker and His water.
pushnmiraclewhips (2 years ago)
Didn't realize how much deeper the Dune universe is than how the movie portrays. Incredible.
boggo3848 (3 years ago)
Summarizing Dune in this format really reveals how insanely creative Frank Hebert was.

The name Harkonnen comes from a Finnish surname Härkönen which comes from the word härkä meaning bull. So in a way Paul is also fighting a bull

Crazy how Dune applies to modern society with such accuracy in nearly every aspect. Frank Hubert was on point. Incredible book.

Very, Very short Summary; Dune is a giant galactic war between several different drug dealers who all want control of the source.
magister343 (4 years ago)
The film really needed a scene where they explained the importance of Mentats in a society where thinking machines are illegal, and reveal to Paul that he has what it takes to become a Mentant himself.
nicholas982 (3 years ago)
If they plan on being faithful to Paul's evolution over the course of the movies, it's probably a good move on their part to humanize him to the audience while they still can.

I need a part 2 of this series comparing the second movie to the second half of the book please. This was very well done
matthewkent3624 (2 years ago)
It’s amazing how the book tells you in all the plans within plans, no attack is unexpected, but it’s still such a page turner. Frank herbert had some true writing talent.
rhyswilliams4893 (3 years ago)
The amount of delete scene in this movie is insane! 6 hour directors cut would definitely be something I watch!

Can we get that dune part 2
knight_lautrec_of_carim (4 years ago)
Without having read the books, I like that the movies just tosses you into Dune's world. It feels authentic, like a world with a long history and its cultures have their own customs, traditions and ways of speaking. You just KNOW that there's some proper world building behind all of it and don't need boring exposition to explain every detail.
