DUNE PART 1 & 2 (Lore & Story) EXPLAINED

Hey guys, what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and today we’re diving into both Parts One and Two of Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune.

While I have an expansive playlist covering all the major concepts, players, factions and organisations in the franchise, from The Fremen, The Sandworms, The Spacing Guild, Bene Gesserit, Mentats, The Harkonnens, The Atreides, The Sardaukur, The god Emperor, Emperor Shaddam Corrino and more (links in the description) my aim with this video is to explain what happens in both films in relation to the lore from the books.

Paul: Will you please listen?! I'm not the messiah!
Stilgar: He is the messiah!

**snorts a line of spice**

"you have mch to learn, ill show you the ways of the desert" **begins desert walking like a drunkard**

Frank Herbert was right: Charismatic leaders make people forget that you are often dealing with monsters.

Kinda ironic that the bene gesserit mothers never thought the “kwizats haderach”(shortening of the way) would arrive ahead of schedule lol

Despite some deviations from the novel, Denis Villeneuve has done an exceptional job adapting the movies, successfully preserving the essence of the original story.

[Infamous]

This movie was created because a film maker had a vision, a dream, a goal to see this adaptation done right. I bet Frank Herbert is smiling from beyond. Denis villeneuve killed this.

I think people have the wrong idea about the Southerners being the fundamentalists and the Northerners being more reasonable or whatever. The point was that there was a stark division regarding religious interpretation, the southerners believing in the Lisan al-Gaib (an off-worlder) while the Notherners believe the Mahdi to the Fremen, native of Arrakis. They kind of all were fanatics, they simply had differing interpretations on the same prophecies.

Dune 2 is probably one of the best scifi sequels of all time. It makes me want to read the books.

Incredible video! One thing I noticed a lot of people skipped but that I thought was really cool was when Paul says to his newly discovered Harkonnen cousin, "may thy blade chip and shatter", he says it back to Paul!!

I first want to say this has been the best breakdown video I’ve ever seen of a movie. Watched another dune video and I was very unhappy with the lack of conciseness and clarity.

I am new to the Dune universe and I am very pleased with the writing, screen adaptation, and world building I’ve seen so far. I have fell in love with the story and plan to read the books. I have been looking for a story that has the depth and cohesiveness of LoTR and Star Wars and I think this is it. I am excited to begin this journey. Dune 2 has been the best film I’ve seen in a long time. I am incredibly excited for the potential.

Love your breakdown! Small correction in the beginning: the spice doesn’t allow for folding space — that is actually achieved mechanically via the Holtzmann drives. What the spice allows is for the navigators to navigate foldspace without becoming hopelessly lost.

It does this via gifting them a limited form of prescience that allows them to perceive the right path. I don’t think it’s ever made explicit in the book whether it is true limited-presence, or simply the spice enhancing their ability to do extremely complex computer-like calculations quickly (similar to Mentats).

Notably, it takes bathing in spice to the point of mutation to replicate even a fraction of what Paul was able to achieve with much less spice exposure. Paul’s prescience is also the ability to perceive branching paths of the future.

Right when I was looking for more Dune content. Thank you, love the channel.

Saw Dune part 2 last weekend. Worth it. Any changes made by Denis Villneuve make sense and don't detract from the novel.

[dylankaptur]

If Paul is a Hero, Villain, anti hero, or emperor, I am all in! These movies are making me rejoice cinema once again

[JosephJohnson-sqbu]

This is an incredible breakdown, can't imagine the effort required to make this video. Thank you

10191 AG(After Guild), as in after the formation of the spacing guild. Paul's bloodline is said to go as far back as ancient Rome and Greece. This sets the story some 16, 000 to 16, 400 years after the fall of the western Roman empire in 476 A.D. So It's closer to 20 millennia. I don't care what Brian Herbert says about it. His Dad wrote the base lore.

Some big galaxy brain shenanigans involved in this House fight.
