With all the nuance and complexity in Frank Herbert’s writing of The Dune Saga, I always wondered why he chose to unambiguously have The Atreides be ‘good’ and The Harkonnens unambiguously ‘bad’.

Is this the inspiration of ‘The Light Side’ wielding Jedi and ‘The Dark Side’ wielding Sith in Star Wars?

Paul grew up with no siblings or companions. A Bene Gessert mom and Thufir Hawat, Gurney Hallack and Duncan Idaho were his teacher-companions. Meanwhile Feyd had Rabban, Piter De Vries and his cannibal babes…and his addiction to fixed gladiatorial fights?

Admirable, noble, honorable but otherwise broke-ass House Atreides against evil, decadent, murderous , but literally filthy-rich House Harkonnens…for 10,000 years?!?

What kind of imperium you running, around here, House Corrino??

The lack of food he was referring to on the trip over were corpses. Aka: he didn't get a chance to murder anyone to feed to his harpies during the ride over. It has nothing to do with feeling responsible for anyone. Its actually a thinly vailed threat to anyone in the room who might oppose him. In essence "watch out cause I haven't killed anyone in a while and I'm looking for a reason to do it".

I would like to add, as a neuroscientist, eating human flesh does not in any meaningful way regress or diminish cognitive faculties in and by itself. What I presume the video is talking about is prion disease, or a very specific prion disease called "Kuru", an epidemic phenomenon amongst a tribe of people practising ceremonial cannibalism. The current best explanation for Kuru was that, at some point, a tribesman developed Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD; a known prion disease) and upon his death his brains were eaten by others who, in turn, developed the fatal neurodegenerative illness. The long incubation time of CJD (10-50 years) ensured that the brains of those infected could be ingested without anyone ever having seen its symptoms in the living before they were, well, harvested for consumption. Thus, unless you specifically eat uncooked brain tissue from someone with CJD, you will probably not regress to bestiality and lose cognitive functions. If you do, it will also take decades, so you'll never know. Just don't eat brains, folks.

That being said, my picking at that loose thread is only meant as a helpful appendix to the video itself, I very much enjoyed it and it is well thought out and well made. Thank you for making it for us!

I believe the relevant distinction, as explored in the books, is more along the lines of 'animal vs human' than 'good vs bad.' The greatest fear of the Bene Gesserit was the rise of a Kwisatz Haderach who was animal, not human. The Harkonnens are undeniably animalistic, whereas the Atreides were generally human, but with the same susceptibility to animalistic urges that any sentient being may be subject to. I find the exploration of human-animal hybrids in the later books compelling, as deeper explorations of these themes.

I don’t think Feyd’s behavior indicates a sense of responsibility or affection for his pets. I see nothing to indicate he would care if they, individually, live or die. They are a tool and like all tools must be maintained. However, that is not his goal. If he just wanted to make sure they were fed, it would be done. His goal is to inspire terror as a means of control (and perhaps amusement). He uses these moments theatrically, to be most advantageous to him.

@jacobnavarro3675

5w↑10

Love the behind the scenes pics of the harpies. Its too bad we have to say goodbye to Feyd so soon. I agree he's not without honor as seen during the arena fight when he doffs his shield. I mean, he was expecting an effortless kill and when it turned out to be a much more dangerous situation, he seemed invigorated by the surprise and even leaned into it. He still got mad at his uncle for setting it all up, but maybe that's meant to enforce his impatient attitude toward the Baron in general winning out even over his own personal enjoyment.

@sammiller6631

The Baron is Feyd's uncle, not his father. Feyd's father is Baron Harkonnen's youngest half-brother, Abulurd Rabban, who had renounced the Harkonnen name and all rights to the title when given the subdistrict governorship of Rabban-Lankiveil.

I found the scene with the harpies both interesting and startling tbh. I thought they were sex slaves or something akin to a harem—they still may be but with a sub human cannibalistic bend. Denis does this often in his work—there will be a quick image of “something” or unexpected form of violence (Love’s breaking Coco’s spine in Blade Runner 2046 for instance). That’s what made me jump out of my seat watching the spider creature walk around in the dimly lit quarters of the Baron. I’m hesitant to call them jump scares though—Denis is good of a filmmaker to resort to foolishness like that.

I have read pretty much all novels of dune, however I don't remember the harkonnen having spider pets or cannibal pets. House harkonnen is a dinasty of rulers, some good, some bad. Baron Vladimir harkonnen was particulary depraved yes, but don't remember any pets like the ones portraited in villeneuve movie. I don't think House harkonnen is more or less evil than House atreides, if this was true during the time of Paul atreides, in the distant past, the leader of house atreides agammenon was a General Cymek that had enslaved the whole humanity and he was quite brutal. At the very same time, the leader of remaining free humans military resistance was Xavier harkonnen that was quite honorable. When talking about houses, all depends on the leader at the time.

@richardbourton4523

5w↑4

I don’t mean this rudely; but I think you’re thinking of an adaptation as just a remake of an existing product, but it’s not, especially when it’s a new medium from the original. When you choose to adapt something, making the new version good on its own merits becomes more important than preserving original features. So if an editor thinks a well known scene is dragging down the pacing and only exists to include a feature of the book; then they might recommend it is removed to enhance the new version. Similarly, they will add things where the new version seems to be lacking. The mind may have conjured up any number of Harkonnen horrors that are not written down in Dune, but the film production needs to make these explicit. Meanwhile, (I’m sorry to pick this example because there are plenty of more neutral examples I’m sure, but it’s the first that came to mind) they excised a lot of the book’s homophobia regarding the portrayal of the Harkonnens. They are decadent, indecent and incestuous, but that can be shown without the homophobia, so they took that out to make the film more in keeping with modern sensibilities. Whether the project succeeds as an adaptation is not the same as whether it succeeds as it’s own project, which is more important in the moment (as the original still exists, but the new version needs to be well received to make money). Sometimes they are terrible adaptations and terrible movies and sometimes the original property was poor and an adaptation can’t save it, but filmmakers are nearly always trying to make a decent product in the moment, rather than focussing just on being faithful to an original. If you’ve not seen it Dominic Noble has a series on here called Lost in Adaptation that looks at films through the lens of whether they made good or poor choices when adapting it which is very good and I would recommend it.
