THE FREMEN (Paul Atreides' Unstoppable Desert Warriors) DUNE EXPLAINED

Показать описание

Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained, and as requested, today we’re exploring the Fremen, as featured in Frank Herberts amazing Dune universe.

Originally known as the Free Men of Arrakis, The Fremen were a sub-culture of humans descended from the Zensunni Wanderers. They were hard in survival, adapted in the harsh environment of the planet and formed an integral part of the Muad'Dib's Jihad launched by Paul Atreides.

I have covered the confusing history and trajectory of Paul Atreides in my video exploring Denis Villeneuve's Dune, links in the description, but here I hope to show how instrumental the Fremen were to his rise to power.

First appearing in the 1965 novel Dune, they inhabit the desert planet Arrakis (also known as Dune), which is the sole known source in the universe of the all-important spice melange. Long overlooked by the rest of the Imperium and considered backward savages, in reality they were an extremely hardy people that exist in large numbers.

I used to live in the middle east as a child and there was an event where my family and others would go into the desert, a good two three hours deep and set up tents for night out, you don't know real peace until you smell the sand at night and hear the gentle wind, it's an almost clean smell and not a single car in range.

The thing about the Jihad is that Paul foresaw it via Spice-induced prescience and he wanted to prevent it, but could not. Even if he died, the Jihad would go on anyway.
Paul also foresaw the Golden Path, but flinched from it. Leto foresaw it and stepped onto it. Leto's death, Siona's invisibility from prescience, and the Scattering were all intended results.

I'm really looking forward to the sequels, and I'm curious as to what the visuals will look like when Paul takes the waters of life. Shits gonna be epic.

Funny how Paul kills jamis even though Paul's vision shows jamis being his friend and showing him the way of the desert, jamis' hostility is the way he shows the ferocity of the desert and in killing him he shows Paul how it truly is in the desert.

I had an older sister that passed away but before that I remember how utterly hooked she was on Lynchs film and Herbert's world building regarding the Dune Saga. She'd always tried to get me to watch it but I was too little to really fall into it and let myself get immersed in the lore like she did. I decided to give it another try for her when the new one came out just because I'm sappy like that and wanted to give it one more go to see if their was something I'd missed back then. Holy...Sh*t am I obsessed with this now 😆 the fact that Herbert created this in the 60s with an entire world and religions and dang..just everything blows me away. To tell a story that spans that amount of time and through so many people and dynasties yet still never lose the focus and convictions/motives behind each personality and end goal is just amazing. I can totally see what she always bugged me about now and it's never to late to watch the entire saga unfold now with everything else that's due out in the universe especially thinking about how she would feel about the comparisons between directors, etc.

I CANT WAIT to see them unleashed during Paul's Jihad. Hopefully Messiah is made into a film, one can dream.

Computers were discouraged wherever possible, and AI was banned I believe. Ships and other stuff still uses computers, but they're very purpose built.

YES, MORE DUNE CONTENT!!
Only 14 months till DUNE PART 2.

Dune is such a complex and eye opening experience.

One of the reasons Herbert wrote Dune was due to the distrust he had of charismatic leaders and how the people are fickle, manipulable and surrender their freedom (with the respective critical sense and necessary distrust to the government) to follow the various scoundrels that infest the global history.

The sight of JFK and the charisma he exuded - just remember the romanticism of his government and person that emerged after his assassination.

The best passage of the 6 books is in the dialogue with Stilgar in "Dune Messiah": Genghis Khan killed 4 million, Hitler killed 6 million, and I sterilized planets." What a magnificent "hero" Paul Atreides was. And how the followers of a leader expand the mistakes of their leadership (religious, political, etc).

Fremen being played by arab, African and Andalusian actors is an amazing choice. I think it makes perfect sense.

Its Ironic that Sarduakar despite having much more brutal culture they werent able to go on equal terms with fremen
Also its much more ironic that Paul is able to easily win over a fremen

It's really interesting to think how similar the Fremen of Dune are to the Aiel in the Wheel of Time book series. Both cultures are based in the desert, water is prized beyond measure, clans and family relationships are very important, honor and obligation governs one's behavior, and physical prowess in combat is a must.

Siona didn't really "develop" the ability to evade prescient sight. Leto II waited until one of his sisters descendants was born with it. He then, quite deliberately, let her cause his 'death', though it seems to have been more of a dispersal of his mental powers back into small fragments within the sand trout and reemergent sandworms.

Leto II deliberately bred Siona to produce humans who could hide from prescience. She was, as he said, an achievement. It seems as though this was something to do with Duncan Idaho, as he commented on how much effort it took to turn a recessive trait into a dominant one.
