I really appreciate how they depicted Kynes being torn over this whole affair. We see her slowly becoming sympathetic to the Atreides yet continuing to play the loyal imperial ecologist almost until the end

Kynes was raised to hate the Harkonens by both kynes' father the imperial ecologist before Kynes as well as Kynes' fremen mother. But, the dream of the Fremen is a water rich green Arrakis so going against the emperor at this moment would be against that dream

Kynes' family back story is only hinted at in Dune but is fleshed out in the Dune Encyclopedia that was written during Frank Herbert's life and he said he would never say if it was or was not canonical. Either way it is a great backstory with kynes' father stopping harkonens beating up fremen and figuring out the spice cycle.

When you put into perspective that Duncan had always been a good soldier to the House and a believer of the Landsraad system and the Emperor being a sovereign leader only now to realize him and his whole house was sent to die it makes this scene sad. It's like if you dedicate your entire life to your country and how it's system works only to realize it's all lies and to your government you're nothing but expendable.

This movie is grand in a way many movies aren't any more. It makes me think of Peter Jackon's Lord of the Rings movies. Even some recent movies with galactic scale feel small, and cramped. Dune didn't feel small.

Gradius

2y↑54

The one thing I'll ding it on is how minimalist it feels, despite its scope. Any plot thread or character that doesn't need to be on screen isn't. LOTR had a richness in terms of the scope of what it showed, whereas Dune is very lean in order to keep its runtime down. Like I expected a lot of Piter only for him to be on screen for three minutes. Moreso for Yueh. It's not bad, but the minimalism does change the feeling a little and make it harder to connect deeply with characters since there's less time for them to show their personalities. Some more character moments, instead of just 'world' moments or moments for pacing, may have helped ground the characters better. LOTR it never felt like a character was there and then immediately gone, Dune very much felt like that. An excellent film, but almost a bit like Tenet (or perhaps Dunkirk is a bit kinder of a comparison) in how intentionally trimmed down parts of it were. I do hope Part 2 lets the characters breath a bit more (give us Gurney's balliset playing!).

The Atreidis knew this was coming - or at least something very similar. Thufir said as much, he just underestimated the size of the attacking force and the volume of Sardaukar involvement. House Harkonnen spent literal decades worth of wealth paying for the transport of that many troops to Arrakis - both their own and Sardaukar, who alone numbered around 200,000.

Jeroen Arendsen

1y↑23

The betrayal of dr. Yue was perhaps an even stronger factor in the defeat of House Atreides.

Jake G

1y↑29

They also vastly overestimated the timeframe it would happen in. As in they thought they had more time to build an alliance with the Fremen and prepare. Still, the fact that they didn't have more people on watch has always bothered me. If you're expecting an attack, assume it's going to happen right now just to be sure. Gurney and Duncan were smarter than that, they should have made it more difficult to catch the troops with their pants down

Valar

1y↑1

@Jake G Yeah. Why the f- weren't all their ships in the air anyway, all the time?

Valar

1y↑12

The Sardaukar numbered two legions, so 60,000 men. The Harkonnens sent ten legions, or 300,000 men. The Baron told Rabban it took him 60 years to save the money for the assault. I very much doubt the Harkonnens could have won on their own.

Valar

1y↑5

@Jeroen Arendsen If he had revealed the plot at any time before the attack, the Harkonnens would have been slaughtered and a few captured Sardaukar could have been displayed to the Landsraad - triggering an all-out civil war that would have no doubt destroyed Houses Corrino and Harkonnen and many other Great Houses besides.

Frank Herbert as a Writer is definitely on the level of Tolkien
Tolkien innovated the fantasy genre and sent it forward and had a huge influence in its evolution
same with Herbert and how he pushed Sci-Fi forward, you can see the influence in big franchises like Star Wars and even George RR Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire(Game of Thrones)
Dune has depth, the books really get you to think about Politics, Society, Psychology, Evolution and Mankind's path in general, as he himself said "I wanted to warn the human race about charismatic leaders" I don't remember the rest of the quote LMAO, it's definitely a must read, the next episode is gonna blow people's minds.

Ironically Tolkien hated Dune a lot but since being a gentleman he doesn't want to make a big thing out of this and jeopardy Herbert career so Tolkien kept this mostly to himself.

@long w lenguyen I chalk it up mostly to his catholic worldview. I mean an entire plot point to the books is how Bene Gesserat manipulate culture and religion. And the entire first book is in-part about creating a false-christlike character and the effect on the universe that it has. No strong Christian is going to sit well with those ideas.

Gelb33

2y↑3

If you think about it, the book Game of Thrones is a bit of a rip-off from Dune at least in the first arc, Eddard Stark the honorable man is chosen as Hand to the King the most powerful position a noble can ever dream of, he goes to the capital the beating heart of the realm but at the end of the day his hands are tied, he is betrayed and his retinue is slaughtered to the last man and woman while his children are either dead or on the run. If you change a few things it is basically the same thing, although the main difference is that the Atreides knew they were being sent into a trap, they just didn't know how complex the trap was or how far their enemies wanted them dead. Eddard Stark and his family on the other hand never saw the trap, in fact, they never will.

@Arian Dito Yeah Herbert is also a Conservative, an American Conservative but he more libertarian and his mistrust of Mcarthyism and the Republican due to the red scare and Nixon era. While Tolkien is more British Conservative, two different side but the same coin. Herbert multiple time show his dislike of Unionist and activist.

He didnt need to weaken House Harkonenn as the were maybe rich, but highly unpopular among other houses a their military power was inferior in comparison to Imperial forces. On the other side House Atreides was serious threat from two big reasons - 1) Leto Atreides was very popular and recognized in Landsraad as he was true and charismatic leader and 2) foundation of Emperor power were Saurdakaur forces, which were superior to all other and all other Houses were afraid of them, but House Atreides has two best Swordmasters in Empire, Duncan and Gurney, and they succeeded to train small force of Atreides soldiers to Sardakaur level (maybe even surpass it)

It's easy to be a "genius" with power in your hands to call the shots. Also, the emperor has actually been acting stupid. Like the Baron says - the Emperor is a jealous man, a dangerous jealous man". He acted idiotically out of jealousy.

Dune and LoTR are both on a grand scale that Star Wars could only reach if Disney would get their priorities straight, which they can't.

If Keyenes only serves Shai Hulud and the Fremen. While still being in the employ of the Emperor to csre for Arrakis. Then he/she should have known better than to sit on the sidelines and have the fremen not throw in with the Atriedes right away.

Duke Leto has a reputation of being a good and fair person. Who cares for his subjects and treats his fiefdom well. The Harkonnens on the other hand had spent decades brutally oppressing arrakis and would do so again. The fremen have nothing to lose by helping the atriedes survive the harkonnen plot. As no matter the outcome. They can just go back to hiding in the desert. If the Duke and Paul survived the attack with the fremen aid. Then Leto would probably grant them the most of the planet and a share of spice mining profits. Leto then sits on arrakkis with control over the spice and desert power. While the Emperor and Baron seethe

Spoilers: Leto gains the loyalty of his subjects by offering honor & fortune, but it’s really for his own gain & creating longevity for his lineage. In truth his aspirations were to become emperor himself, which later comes to fruition through his heir. Leto can actually be a quite calloused, calculated, & ruthless man to his enemies, which probably stems from his Harkonnen heritage.

tarmynastyr

2y↑17

@Peter Avellaneda Indeed. Leto is only honorable when it serves his interests and his aim from the beginning was to use the Fremen as his own army to fight back the Emperor and the Harkonnens.

He would have had no interest in the Fremen if they were weak like the Palace people.

It all came to fruition only after his death though.

Let’s put this rubbish to bed quickly. The character’s alteration in this adaptation is gender alone. It is never mentioned what skin colour the good doctor has in the book; only that he is a man.

This adaptation has a different approach to some elements than some were expecting - but I would argue that every damn one is an improvement. (A small example being that Fremen never used the sand to camouflage themselves before attacking in the book - that was invented entirely for this film and it works so well that it has some fans asking “Why didn’t Frank Herbert write that? Seems obvious the Fremen would do that.”)

Sunhawk

2y↑6

Liet should be a different ethnicity than the fremen. To make him the obvious outsider.

While Paul does ask if luet is a fremen. This is more to the eyes, and Paul's inexperience and budding messiah powers. Than liet looking just like his fremen guards.

Ben Gale

"every one is an improvement" ah yes, making the doctor a woman saved the movie. Imagine if the doctor had been a man? who could have taken the movie seriously? lol.

Vortimer of Kent

2y↑12

@Sunhawk Liet was born on Arrakis, half Fremen half whatever. The father Pardot Kynes was a different ethnicity. Liet embraced both the scientific approach of Pardot as well as the Fremen way of life. So it makes sense for him/her to look like the other members of their sietch.

DeMause

2y↑29

@Sunhawk Well she is of African ethnicity while the Fremen are largely middle-eastern so even if that aspect matters a lot to you it still holds up. She played the role perfectly. I don't see any reason people should be complaining, and to be fair I've seen way more people pre-emptively defending the casting decision than I have seen people actually having a problem with it.

People say that the gender swap didn't affect the narrative, but in a book there were at least three major details concerning Liet being male:
Firstly, there was father-son relationship between Pardot and Liet Kynes. Liet was continuing work of life of his father and this is an ancient trope and custom which would definitely add to feudal future. It wasn't some random arc, it was a repetitive intentional trope, a reflection of Paul himself becoming Duke (and Leto II becoming even greater than his father), of Emperor not having male heirs.
Secondly, Liet was referred almost as God and throughout history God was a male figure. Fremen weren't an exception as they refered the sandworm as the Old Man of the Desert as he gave them transportation, spice and crysknives. And in the third book the deadly burning sun is on other hand refered as Woman-Sun.
Finally, both Paul and Chani lost their parents because of Harkonnen and both of them being fathers makes the bond between them much stronger.

ComradeOgilvy1984

"this is an ancient trope and custom which would definitely add to feudal future"
I am not buying this because the Duneverse only has the weakest trappings of feudalism, and presumably Herbert put it there primarily to show that this far future human civilization was falling into decay. You can find more feudalism in a Jane Austen novel, with its strong patriarchy, plot stumbles caused by primogeniture, and intra-family arguments about status and money.
If this Liet-Kynes character had much more screen time to be developed, it is conceivable that I could see your other arguments mattering even a little. But the movie, as it stands, is very laser focused on Paul's personal journey, and we do not have time for anything you just said to carry any weight for me.

@ComradeOgilvy1984 In the book, Kynes and Chani don't share a single scene. The only time Kynes and Pardot speak is when Kynes is hallucinating, right before his death.

Well primarily white, primarily American, primarily republican men are shifting more and more towards the alt-right nowadays. It's pretty common, even if they'd deny it.

I've not personally been surprised because I saw the exact same thing occur when the last jedi came out. Rather than take issue with the writing, guys like the EFAP crew, the quartering, and critical drinker, amongst many others used the opportunity to absolutely smear and some to even harass actors they decided they didn't like, primarily being women and minorities. Sure, they also pointed out the flaws in the writing, but they'd always find a way to wrap it around to people like daisy ridley being "woke" because at the end of the day the bad aspects of popular films are just a reason to further spew culture war rhetoric.

The moment I saw Kynes was a black woman instead of a (Herbert never specified their race) white man, I knew what they'd do. It's sad how predictable it's become. They'll quote MLK without hearing a word he said.

A few complained about the genderswap for me my only gripe was they missed the chance to cast a famous older actor/actress to go into the footsteps of Max Von Sydow who played Kynes in the original movie. But they already have a star studded ensemble cast and dont have infinite money so it does make sense they cast someone lesser known. She did fantastic though and to be honest is more believable as a fremen than Max.

Valar

I always pictured Kynes as younger than Sydow. Or at least, younger than the character he portrayed. He often did this, which made me confused about his actual age in his last role, Game of Thrones - at 87.

Liet Kynes as someone in their 30s-40s, like this actor, is pretty much exactly what I imagined. And I very much agree, Max was not at all believable as a Fremen. @Blane Nostalgia

Kind of hard to counter a move that was 50 years in the making that you had days to prepare for.

Well the Atreides were not only sabotaged but also caught off guard AND you had the fact both the Harkonnen army and the Sardaukar attacked the Atreides on Arrakis. There's only so much that can be done. The Emperor and Baron Harkonnen knew in a fair fight they would never best the Atreides' legions.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but this scene would have been so much more powerful without the soundtrack. Having "nyyyaaa nyyyyaaaa nyyyyaa" blasted at full volume is a detriment to this scenes.

I disagree, it adds so much more. You can still hear the dialogue quickly but the soundtrack here elevates the emotions a lot.

Yeah, there’s so many great Sufi / Qawwali music they could’ve taken inspiration from, but the chants they used sound terrible and really distracting.

@Jagd Töpfer movie isn’t suppose to sound similar to real music, would ruin so many scenes.

MsDragonbal776

Yes. This was one of my major problems with the film in general. The soundtrack made me take major points away from the movie. I get what they were doing but it was so terribly done throughout. The movie might even be worse than the David Lynch adaptation for such misteps.

Jagd Töpfer

@FreePalpatine That's why I said "inspiration", and the movie already has bagpipes lol

This version of Liet was an utter POS.

I'm quite against the forced 'diversity' in media at the minute. But it's not quite so offensive in this movie.

This was a good movie but the score got annoying as hell.

peachmelba1000

I really wish they had edited those background vocal tags out of the final score. They're jarring, far too frequent, and bit too on the nose.

The gender and race swap for Kynes was a bit unnecessary, but the rest of the film was good.

CommanderBurns

2y↑8

His race is not specified in the original novel his character is only gender swapped for the movie. If your gonna try to critique the movie based on the book at least read the book first.

UnsungHeroRising

2y↑2

I'd argue it WAS necessary because I wanna see what happens to all the rightoids if we gender and race swap every character in cinematic and literary history. Should be good for a mutual laugh.

Side note but Kynes' race was never specified by the author.

In the novels, and every other adaptation, Liet is a man, a white man.

M²

I’d argue this version makes alot more sense. It’d be easier for someone like her to blend in with the fremen rather than Max von Sydow, a middle aged (at the time) german white man

@M² it really doesn't. See Dune is all about not judging by the surface and this change is direct opposition to the book and the themes within.

She was the worst part of this movie, diversity hire that couldn’t act. If you’re gonna change the race, gender and plot of a character at least find someone that can display emotion.

I can tell you never read the book because kynes race was never mentioned in the book.. And also she did great at her role, Enhanced the movie imo.

Jagd Töpfer

That was my issue too. Idc about the character’s race, the actor is terrible. Same with Ferguson and her two facial expressions.

Мартин Бранков

@Jagd Töpfer mhm agree

Ein Dalton

She was just a generic, tough black woman in the movie. Book Liet-Kynes is probably one of my favorite characters in Dune.

Why is it that a lot of ranty comments always follow this style of short disjointed sentences with all caps and loads of exclamation marks, it's like the old people yelling on Facebook kind of thing.

I doubt you've actually watched the movie.

If you're loyal to the book I fell like you should understand that's pretty much impossible to adapt it one to one unless you want the movie to be a 4 and a half hour mess. There's definety stuff that got cut that I missed like all the world building and politics that happens before the Harkonnen attack, or the atreidies being more conniving as a faction, but what was left on the cutting room floor was to give the movie an actually satisfying pace. Finally having a director like Villaneuva, who's genuinely loved dune from a young age leading this project is such a blessing. Plus I feel like no one talks about how much effort was put in the visual story telling of this movie
