DUNE PART 2 - Biggest Differences Between The Movie And Book

[CortexVideos]

I breakdown the biggest differences between the Dune Part 2 movie and Frank Herbert's book. There are a few other changes mentioned in my 'Explained' and 'Biggest Questions' videos that I posted last week, so I'd recommend checking out those uploads on my channel too. But what differences did you pick out in the film and what was your overall impressions of the changes made?

[brandongrundmeyer]

One of the biggest changes I noticed, which no one has acknowledged in the videos I’ve watched, was the elimination of Janis’s wife and kids from the equation. I was ok with it, because it helped showcase the more compelling love story between Chani and Paul.

[Luzarioth]

I feel like the changes to Chani make her a Victim.
In the movie, she was forced against her will to help Paul via the Voice & Paul just "took" the Hand of Irulan.
In the Book, Chani choose to help Paul and even convinved him that a marriage to Irulan is a good thing.

[kumo]

My only complaint really is that Jessica threw up. Her Bene Gesserit training gives her full control of her own body, it would literally be the last thing she would do.

[ECW]

I'm massively disappointed they didn't show Paul using the voice against the Sardaukar. That was a really badass part in the book

[jorgelhau]

I think that reducing the time scale (to less than 9 months) takes away the incredible effort that it took for Paul to regain control of Arrakis. It seemed all too easy (learning the Fremen customs and language, organizing militias, disrupting trade, spreading the myth of the messiah, etc.).

[rhyslightning]

I think the removal of the space guild severely changes the world of Dune and the stakes of the story. Without any context as to how crucial spice is to the functioning of the commerce and governance of the worlds it is reduced to a simple resource to fight over like oil in the Middle East. We really never get to see how the choking of spice affects the key parties and leads inevitably to the conclusion of the film, drawing them all to Arrakis for the climax. The role of the Guild in the betrayal of House Atreides and their eventually having to flip to Paul's side to preserve their supply of spice I see as crucial to a full understanding of the weight of the events on Arrakis to the whole Empire.

[sgrass]

I would mention 3 more differences:
1 - Jessica was made in the film a much more proactive force in making Paul the Muad’dib. In the book she doesn’t know he’s about to drink the water of life and in the movie she basically orchestrates it.
2 - The scene where Gurney meets Paul again is massively underplayed in the movie. In the book it’s a really touching scene (having known all that time that Gurney is with the smugglers) and it has some great quotes that weren’t used in the movie (Paul saying to him “here some of the things you’re not meant to see”).
3 - Stilgar was kinda made into a caricature in the movie. In the book Paul is indeed worried that he’s turning from a friend to a follower but in the movie his belief in the Paul/Lisan Al Gaib prophecy is completely taking over the character, stripping him of his leadership aspect. Javier Bardem is great though, really loved his performance.

[trogdor]

I was surprised Jessica didn't give birth in the movie, but then again having a 2 year spice child prophet fighting has a good chance of looking pretty silly in a movie.

[wesshort]

I think a blind priest would have followed Lea Seydoux into her room.

[stevenplatt]

One thing I noticed visually with Paul ending the Baron is that while he used his crysknife, not a gom jabbar, the method was the same as a gom jabbar, even to the reference of treating his body as less than an animal.

[paulfrantizek]

Lynch's depiction of Alia wasn't silly, it was just faithful to the book. As far as adding the Northern v Southern Fremen conflict and the changes to Chani, 'interesting' and 'relatable' is code for secularizing the story for a modern audience.

[HeisenBird]

The other main benefit of the lack of a significant time jump is (from a cinematic point of view) it helps illustrate Stilgar and the other Fremen factions' religious fanaticism toward Paul, owing to it happening over a shorter period of time.

[censortube]

When Paul took the water of life a great scene would have been Paul seeing the original Atreides declaration that the Harkonnens were cowards.

[isiseungella]

Tyvm for your insightful critique. I read the books every year for decades, each time noticing another detail of the story or another impactful line. I was so disappointed by D. Lynch adaptation and loved D. Villeneuve's fidelity to the intent of F. Herbert's work. I will be watching it next week and come fully prepared to changes and looking forward to the poetry that movies can bring. I hope it encourages many younger viewers to read the novels and learn from the depth of F. Herbert's vision.

[starbrand]

I wanted to see more of Paul training the Fremen. I wanted to see Paul moving with enhanced speed. I wanted the Third Stage Navigator "Paul must be killed" scene. I wanted Paul to show more of his powers. After the fight with Feyd, I wanted Paul to split his body with the Voice. And I really didn't like Chani being pissed off.

[kyborgarner]

You forgot two major points.

Paul learnt how to manipulate the spice molecule and destroy all spice. That’s how he threaten the emperor, not with the atomic but with spice molecule manipulation.

The tip of Freud’s knife was poisoned and Paul adjusted his body to this when Freud thought he had Paul, Paul then adjusted the poison and killed him.

[dreadfuldeadlinesessaytuto]

All the changes in this movie are justified. Hate to admit it but the novel had narrative issues and this movie streamlined the story. I'm sure if Frank Herbert wrote the novel in a traditional way, the story would have been closer to what you see in this movie.

[SuperStella]

Change to Chani is the most important. Book Chani is too go-with-the-flow. Film Chani is discerning, clear-eyed: she is Paul’s equal and sees through him. It makes their connection deeper and she is a better character.

[Forien]

15:30 First movie once mentioned Landsraad by name, when they asked dr Kynes if she is willing to testify.
