quote:

When Dune hits theaters on December 18, it will only be half the novel, with Warner Bros. agreeing to tell the story in two films, similar to the studio�s approach with Stephen King�s It and It Chapter Two. �I would not agree to make this adaptation of the book with one single movie,� says Villeneuve. �The world is too complex. It�s a world that takes its power in details.�

lol

Yeah I was curious what David Ehrlich thought of his other movies. He said of Arrival that Villeneuve was better at picking existing music (Max Richter) for his films than he was commissioning scores. So I�m not too worried about his review. He doesn�t seem to care much for any of his movies

his letterboxd scores arrival, sicario and br2049 3/5 stars, yeah.

so how does this work?

the prophecy isn't real. it was the creation of the bene gesserit to help maintain power on a generational timeline on a galactic scale. all of it, from head to toe. it was product of imagination.

however, in the cave scene, where he walks in to prove he's the messiah, he's able to read a few of the attendees minds and what not. they're so shocked that they fully convert. he's also constantly talking to alia.

if the prophecy is completely made up, there can be no such omnipotent character. there should be no one who can see all of the past and all of the future. yet, he telepaths in, can see the past, and can see the future.

it's been a looooooooong time since i read the books, so maybe i'm missing something fundamental. but how do i reconcile this?

it's important to distinguish between the 'real' stuff (superpowers produced by training, drugs, and generations of eugenics) and the politics (kwisatz haderach project, lisan al-gaib prophesy, etc.).

Chani just randomly learned how to pilot an ornithopter somewhere

why would that be a surprise. in the first movie her mum helps paul and jessica escape the sardaukar by pointing them to a hidden ornithopter.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:

Does the book ever explain why the Fremen are such good fighters anyway? Paul says they've been fighting the Harkonnens for decades, and while I can buy them being very, very good at ambushes / hit and run stuff, the "effortlessly rinsing Sardaukar in hand-to-hand combat" part always felt weird. Like why even bother with asymmetrical warfare if there's millions of you and you could easily just get close to Arakeen and massacre anyone who isn't a Fremen with virtually no resistance? Does the spice exposure give them some very limited precognition or something? I haven't read the books in drat near two decades so I've forgotten most of it, but I do seem to remember the books eventually backtrack on it and make the Sardaukar decent shock troops with good PR rather than unstoppable elite soldiers.

herbert was basically just a "hard times create strong men" guy. the sardaukar are strong because salusa secundus is a hosed up prison planet, but the fremen are stronger because arrakis is even worse. they could take arakeen, but then all the great houses would team up and exterminate them (because the houses and the guild couldn't tolerate spice falling outside of choam's control). unlike paul, the fremen wouldn't threaten to destroy the spice because shai-hulud is sacred etc.
