Dune Part Two Trailer #2 Explained (no spoilers)

Thanks for watching! Continuing to work on the "real Jon Snow" video...

"How does it feel when your boyfriend is Space Jesus?" These are the hard hitting lines I keep coming back to with this channel.

"Rizz up Shaddam's drip". A sentence I never expected to hear.

I really like how you mostly just observe and point out potential differences between the book and movies rather than judging them, with the understandable exception of the fundamental nature of the story.

The biggest reason I love "Dune" story. Is the very simple act of one woman, throws the entire universe into a tailspin. Jessica giving Leto a son out of love. That single defiant act shatters the plans of the Bene Gesserit, the Imperium and Harkonnens. Arguably, the biggest players in the political arena. I feel like this movie is augmenting the story by these changes to the narrative. It's an uneasy and terrible burden to bear to be a "savior" especially to those you love and love you back.

I really hope they don't skip Jamis' funeral ritual. It's a powerful scene in itself, but also says so much about both the Fremen culture and Paul's personality.

I believe that all of the portrayals of Shaddam so far as an older man is to SHOW the audience how long he has lived. It would be difficult to have him look as young as the books and have the audience understand the complexity behind that.

I think the choice to have Walken portray Shadam and depict him as an old, impotent man is very deliberate. We know he's still the big cheese in title, but can clearly see he doesn't really fit the grandeur of his title. So it helps communicate the same ideas as the books, but in a visual medium. We can't see his thoughts and won't be spending that long with him on screen. So a more faithful depiction would be watered down. A series would have the real estate to depict him as the paper tiger he ultimately is

Not sure if they'll show the glitz and glamour in the movie, but perhaps the simplicity and serenity shown in the Emperor scenes also shows a certain kind of privilege and luxury? The universe is cruel and desolate and the supposed ruler of it all sits in calm distance while horrible things are done in his name.

Films like Dune are the ones that gives us hope about the future of sci-fi movies and cinema in general.

Can’t wait for the “philosophy of dune”-video

AltshiftX is the hero we need, but not the one we deserve. Thank you.

I'm surprised to hear you say the harkonnen ships were inspired by armadillos, because I assumed they were meant to represent bloated ticks. For me it created a pretty meaningful visual as they left Arrakis. I even interpreted their attack ships as being flea-like; all of which I thought was perfectly fitting for those bloodsuckers. I guess I'll have to demote all of that to headcanon now.

I never got into Dune until very recently and I've been thoroughly obsessed with it ever since. Dune Part Two is my most anticipated movie of this year and I'm so excited that it's just around the corner! Here's hoping it does well so Denis can adapt Messiah!

dune is absolutely my favorite book series of all time. as much as I wish they could just do a 1:1 port of the text to the screen, I understand why they can't and I actually don't mind the changes. All I hope for is to get to and hopefully past Children of Dune. I wanna see Miles Teg and Honored Matres on the big screen man.

You don’t mention it, but when Paul says “Long live the fighters!” it sounds like he’s using the Voice.

I love your channel and have for many years but wow I am just so grateful you are talking about the Arab roots of Dune and how the films is earsing that history. No one talks about this enough and gives the story so much more power when included. Thank you!

Whenever I describe DUNE to newbies, I just say, "The planet Arrakis is the Middle East, Spice is oil, and Paul is the White Savior who unites the desert tribes to make war on the rest of civilization." What keeps this formula from being offensive is that Paul is guilty and anxiety-riddled. He doesn't want his fate but he's hyper-aware that every choice is both his own free will and predestined.

I love Villeneuve's Dune, but that last section on "Ya Hya Chouhada" reminded me that one of the things I disliked about it is how much the Islamic/Arab/Persian culture and history which inspired Dune is watered down or removed wholesale. Finding and learning more about all these varied and deeply thoughtful connections to the Islamic world was one of the most enjoyable parts of reading the book. Removing "Ya Hya Chouhada," with its connection to the Algerian War of Independence feels wrong to me. But I suppose as long as the film keeps faithful to the central themes of the book, the watered down vocabulary won't take away too much from my enjoyment. Really excited for Part 2 regardless.

I rewatched the explanation for the first trailer this morning and here is the explanation for the second trailer. Thanks a lot for your explanations.
