obliterate the atres lineage yet she harbored a suspicion that their story was not over as her reflection then drifted to the broader implications of House of Trades downfall for arus itself here we shift back to the freman Paul trades and his expectant mother lady Jessica as they embark on a perilous journey across the desert to The Refuge of sich tabar shielded from the scorching rays of the irais Sun canopis and nestled within the sanctuary of mountains or rock formations sees functioned as a fortress and home for the freman these vast complexes carved by nature or Fring hands sprawled

Yas inheritance of these quarters followed fan Customs passing to the Sun or in the case of a Tahari challenge To the victor notably some sies like sich tabar were distinguished by harboring a stunted sandworm essential for the Sacred Water of Life rituals underscoring the Deep intertwining of fan life with the Ecology of aracas in an intimate moment Paul radies find solace in the sand confiding in the not yet arrived Spirit of his sister he discusses their father's demise the world's inherent cruelty and his daunting fear of running out of time demend the fractures of their reality before she joins them the reflective speech is abruptly curtailed as reality intrudes with Paul and Jessica compelled into hiding from the ever Vigilant haonan Scouts under still gar seasoned leadership the fman execute a strategic withdrawal cleverly employing a thumper to summon sandworm effectively diverting the haran threat to less favorable Terrain in the ensuing Skirmish Paul and Jessica blending with the freman leverag surprise to their advantage neutralizing their pursuers in a desperate bid for survival the aftermath sees the freman extracting water from their fallen foes an act of survival and reverence leaving the carcasses as offerings to the desert deity shy hude meanwhile the Honan stronghold in aren bubbles with Colosso reban Fury over the mounting loss inflicted by the freman his Ambitions halted by the desert's unconquered South upon reaching the safety of the SI Paul and Jessica confront a malstrom of Suspicion grief and Messianic expectations from the freman their pres staring a cauldron of conflicting sentiments here stillar stands as their Advocate before the council arguing for Mutual Aid and Alliance while they suggest he cast Po and Jessica Into the Wilderness stilar swayed by Omens proclaims Paul as their prophesized Mii personally endorsing him in a confidential exchange he also unveils to Jessica the seer's hidden Lifeline a vast aquafire nurtured by the essence of their deceased he also shares the D news of their Reverend mother's waning life positing Jessica as her successor a position she cannot refuse without facing death herself and so in the sacred company of the sadena and the aien Reverend mother rillo Jessica is called to partake in the perilous ritual of the Water of Life a decisive moment that intertwines fate with tradition and survival with Legacy the sadena Translating to Friend of God and choba denotes the fman lower tier priestesses who have yet to undergo the transformative spice Agony to become Reverend mothers typically a new sadena is appointed concurrently with the previous holders attempt at the spice Agony ensuring the preservation of spiritual leadership should the trial prove fatal while the Water of Life a potent blue poison serves as a pivotal right of passage for the Benny jeser transforming accolades into Reverend mothers a tradition shared by the Sader of the femin deadly to those unversed in the advanced prab Bindu techniques this lethal concoction guarantees death with excruciating pain for the unprepared sourced from the planet Dune it is derived from the bile of a young sandworm emerging only as the creature faces death by Drowning for those who survive its consumption the Water of Life acts as an awareness Spectrum integral to the Benny jeser in their spiritual and psychic ascendant here Paul is told by channy and the others that there are two factions within the fan those from the North like them that believe in only the fmen and Southerners like SAR who believe in the prophecy of the lizan alib at the same time Jessica is forced to drink the water of Life told that if she drinks she will die and if she drinks she may see but as she begins to convulse the other sadena start to grow fearful after realizing too late that Jessica is pregnant during the ordeal both camps of the fan argu about what happened as she recovered in deep Sleep you see star and the southerners beli Jessica survived just as it was written for the mother of the lizan AR to do so while channy and the others contest that the prophecy was written by the Benny jerat cutting through the argument Paul admits it was no Miracle as his mother was trained to transmutate poison insisting he wasn't the Mii and didn't want to lead he instead asks only to fight beside them hilariously the southerners including stillar say that Paul is too humble to say that that he was de madii which in their eyes was even more reason to know that he was showing how spirituality blinded those that believed after a little while Jessica overcomes the poison and inherits the memories of the sadena ancestors and Benny jzer that came before her this has unprecedented effects on her daughter alera traes who was now pre-born and highly susceptible to Abomination from before birth the term pre-born describes individuals who even before their birth possess a fully formed Consciousness and the ability to access their ancestral memories mirroring the abilities of a benzar reverend mother this precocious Awakening makes him particularly prone to Abomination a condition where the individual is at risk of being dominated by the personalities within their genetic memory potentially leading to Insanity the Benny jesid actually regard those labeled as Abominations with deep fear due to their uncontrollable access to Collective ancestral knowledge and resultant psychological instability posing a significant Danger as such they enforce a Draconian measure against those suspected of being Abominations mandating their immediate execution to prevent any threat they might pose with Jessica gaining new information and preent abilities her daughter does so as well too young to have developed their own personality and overwhelmed by the ego memories of their ancestors this has catastrophic effects on Alo Jessica also admits that she's been communicating with a pre-born daughter his mother then explains that only once step remained for him to become the quizat hatak he need only do what she did and drink the water of Life enabling his mind to open and see the Beauty and the horror following this Paul begins his trials to join the freman and is told to cross the desert and return alive from his journey while she's talking with her friend sharle about how the prophecy must be false channy tells her that there's sincerity in Paul unlike the other Outsiders they've encountered this leads her to eventually join him and teach Paul their ways from instru instructing him on how to properly sandwalk to explaining how wind traps work devices designed to reclaim the moisture in the air and funnel it into large catch basins channy imp Parts a Fountain of Knowledge as we cut to Jessica we see her pre-born daughter Aria telling her to convert the non-believers in Northern oracus into accepting the prophecy beginning with who they perceive to be weak with some time having passed hiding in the sand the fman and Paul lay Siege to a Haron and spice mining tank the Warriors efficiently kill the soldiers protecting it but all hell breaks loose when an ornithopter flies around and begins to fire on them taking out a number of freman realizing its Shield only went down when it opened fire after protecting channy Paul distracts it enabling her to bring it down using a rocket launcher asked how he learned to fight so well Paul explains to the fman that his War Masters who died along with his father taught him declaring that while the fman had been Waring with the har conans for decades he notes that his family had been fighting them for centuries reasoning that with the fan knowledge of the desert and his insights into the har conans He suggests that they could bury them in the desert and give arus back to their people this ends up rousing those that were initially skeptical of him into saying he needed to be faken essentially Fan's Guerilla Fighters and the elite of their forces and with that silgar gives Paul the name usul meaning the strong base of a pillar is his private name within the troop while Paul gives himself the name muadi as his public fan name after the clever arus Mouse this leads to Paul muad buul becoming accepted by the entire tribe as he and channy begin to develop a romantic relationship here we're equal men and women alike what we do we do for the benefit of all I'd very much like to be equal to you as they do so Chana reveals her private name in The Troop as being sahaya meaning Desert Spring while she effectively hates the name and its Association to an ancient prophecy it should be noted that it ends up being significant later under his leadership his F can experience Victory after Victory against the Haron and Paul's Prestige and Aura among the freman grows this not only angers the baron but leads to him threatening raban with death if their ability to produce spice is further endangered by these events Paul also finds himself experiencing horrific visions of him following a mysterious figure later shown to be Jessica heading south in it the land is scattered with corpses due to the holy war he felt would happen if he were to become the lizan algib don't try to imprison anyone you're brave we all know that nothing fancy hey I'm serious nothing fancy or you will shame my teaching I won't shame you to gain full acceptance among the freman one must Master the perilous skill of sand riding controlling the Colossal sandworms indigenous to oracus using maker hooks this closely guarded secret allows them unparalleled Mobility across the desert terrains surpassing the capabilities of any occupying Force hindered by the planet's violent Corola storms shulu decides to if you become Freeman or if you die despite the inherent dangers of commandeering such a behemoth Paul Embraces the challenge by successfully riding a grandfather sandworm the largest they'd ever seen this cements his place within the fman community as a fully integrated member of the SI upon hearing this Jessica proclaims that Shai HUD will bow to the boy from the outer World sending her followers to spread word of the prophecy and how it was coming to fruition with many in the north now starting to believe in Paul Jessica then heads off to Southern oracus to spread word of the prophecy to the millions of fundamentalists while she wants Paul to join her he feels that they're giving the people false hope and that him joining her would lead to his Visions coming true the journey there on sandworm is a dangerous one with her group forced to pass through a Corola storm a Corola storm on oracus is a devastating Sandstorm its ferocity magnified by the planet's rotation propelling winds to terrifying spe speed of up to 700 kmph the storms pose a significant threat to life and infrastructure on the desert Planet but the native Fran mitigate this danger by constructing their seates within rock formations this is in contrast to the capital Arin which is protected by the large Shield wall in the film The Storm also served as a boundary between the northern and southern territories of oracus effectively impeding the Southwood expansion of the har conans unfortunately for the har conans more of their spice depos and equip continue to be destroyed by the freman this causes the Furious raban to lead a massive hunt for the freman one that sees most of his forces killed is near death and ultimately raban retreating with his tail behind his legs as the emperor learns of the muad a fan Prophet causing trouble for his continued Reign he questions his daughter on how to approach the crisis send assassins no prophets get stronger when they die let the conflict turn into war you then bring peace while he wants to use direct force with his sarda the princess explains that repression will only make their religion flourish instead in the presence of her teacher Reverend mother moay uran suggests he lets the conflict break out into war this would effectively enable him to sweep in and bring peace making him the hero in the eyes of the lrod in the other great houses but as she walked away with the Reverend mother gas Helen MIM urand ades that muad might actually be polar of traes something the Reverend mother tells not to repeat in front of anyone enough this must not come out even to your father's ears understand I do R mother the concern of course is that Paul likely knows the emperor liquidated his entire house an illegal act that would likely see the other houses come together to overthrow him anticipating this gas MIM reveals that Benny JZ have another card up their sleeve in the for of fed ralur The Baron's psychotic youngest nephew meanwhile Baron Vladimir har Conan has returned to his home world to celebrate the birthday of fed rur brother of raban Born to abyad raban Fed rur represented his father's aspirations to cleanse the family name of its Haron and dishonor and become a dignified Heir contrasting with his brutish older brother glossu named after his maternal grandfather fed's fate took a pivotal turn when Baron Vladimir har Conan chose to Mentor him envisioning the boy as the ideal successor to the har Conan Legacy in fact acknowledging his potential the baron officially named fedur as his Heir favoring him of a glossu and thus integrating him fully into the haronian lineage as fade rathera haran instead of raban you humiliated our family you humiliated me I thought that it was interesting to note that Paula trades and fed Raa those similar in their Noble Origins education and martial prowess embody starkly contrasting Natures Paul kindness loyalty and empathy stand in sharp relief against Fade's ruthless cruelty brutality and ambition in this way fade rur represents the antithesis of Paul serving as his shadowy counterpart and illustrating The Duality inherent in the Benny chesar breeding program where both are forged from the same design yet diverge onto diametrically opposed paths it's also important to consider that in a strategic maneuver to enlist house AR Conan's cooperation in his plot the emperor angled the prospect of marrying uran to the haronian air enticed by the vision of a haronian Empire bolstered by this Alliance the baron welcomed the proposal and CAU in the crossfire of political machinations uran found herself a reluctant porn inwardly rebelling against her role in the power play designed to consolidate Haron and dominance the celebration essentially involves fed rther engaging in his favorite pastime killing people this time inside an arena where thousands have come to watch him defeat the last three remaining atres while it's customary for them to be drugged we learned that his uncle had left one untouched wanting to see his nephew being put to the test show me who you are also in attendance are Reverend mother MIM and fellow Benny chz lady Margo of house fendering who have plans of their own more on house vening at the end of the video although the two intoxicated soldiers are easily beaten the last one proves to be a match for the young fade rur something he admires so much so that he removes his shield and is angered when the court Jesters tried to interfere by injuring him arur he's [Applause] psychotic when he eventually defeats him he even tells the man that he fought well before walking out of the arena and yelling at his uncle for trying to kill him the baron explains that news of The Emperor's hand and the destruction of House of traes would caused the Great houses to rise up against him and this could enable fedur to sit on the throne the Benny jeser have also sent lady Maro fening to use the voice against fed rur and put him through the test of the gum Jabar after he passes she manipulates him into sleeping with her giving them control over the Haron and Bloodline with her now carrying his daughter you young pop look who's back from the dead at the same time finding gurny HCK operating as a Smuggler along with some fman he befriended Paul brings him into the fold but his fedin are not quick to trust him believing gy to be a spy in the novel we actually discovered there were a few haran spies embedded within H's group that even make an attempt on Paul's life but the movie admits this also gone is gurn's attempt on Jessica's life as he believed she was the Spy that betrayed house at trades in the book we learn the at trades knew there was a mole among their ranks with halik and th haat believing it to be Jessica but this was curtailed by Paul who reveals it was UA all along convincing gurnie to swear allegiance to both Paul and Jessica the prophet why is that a bad thing use it because all my Visions lead to horror because you lose control because I gain it while gurnie tries to encourage Paul to use the fman to lead an ultimate attack on the har conans Paul admits he was reluctant due to his horrific visions of what happens if he gains control however revealing he knew where his father hid the family's supply of 92 Atomic Warheads halex sposed Paul in his feden to plan an epic retaliation powered by nuclear fishing atomics were Ed in deep psychological and societal disain largely due to their catastrophic historical application governed by the great convention the deployment of atomics as offensive weapons warranted planetary obliteration yet paradoxically the great houses secretly amass them against potential extraterrestrial threats this Collective repugnance stems from their apocalyptic use in the war against thinking machines most notably resulting in the desolation of Earth and Corin but it should be noted that despite their prohibition atomics punctuated Intergalactic history with significant incidents as mentioned just before this included Earth's obliteration before the butlerian Jihad the annihilation of thinking machines and biological life across several planets during the Great perge and the e iCal ruin of salusa candus by house tantor which required the Imperial capital's relocation to kitain Additionally the obliteration of Corona during shadam I Four's great spice War underscore the perilous Legacy and continued fear of atomics in the universe this is why their Discovery begins to sew a rift between channy and Paul which continues to grow the closer he gets to ultimate power with Jessica getting a demonstration from the caretaker and how the Water of Life was created she commands her to wait for for her son Paul who will be coming to fulfill the prophecy meanwhile unhappy with the performance of raban the baron promotes Fade ralur to governor of oracus and the planet begins to witness his cunning laying Siege to the planet with heavy bombing rates the young Governor manages to bury SI toar and kill a number of freman while forcing the rest to hide telling reaban that he humiliated their family by failing to take control fade rur even embarrasses him and turn by getting him to kiss his feet in a sign of filty kiss or die even with the Honan hitting all of the northern seates a war council is called by the fman in the South where they are waiting for the muad calling for jamus to guide him as he did before Paul receives Visions telling him to drink the water of life to see everything and jamus explaining a good Hunter needs to see in order to succeed because of this despite Paul's reluctance the survivors all make their way toward the South Riding sandworms While most of them head to the Gathering Paul makes a detour and drinks the Water of Life overwhelmed by visions of the future including one of his sister Alia standing by a beach on oracus and telling him that she's with him he slips into unconsciousness at the same time staying behind to spy on the har conans she sharly is captured and eventually incinerated by fed ralur when she refuses to talk with Je Jessica the fedin and other fman unable to wake Paul channy is called to help while she initially believed him to be dead Jessica explains his vital signs were merely low and that he needed her help although she didn't believe in the prophecy she's told that she's a part of it with still gar uttering he shall come back from the dead with Desert Spring tears a translation of channy's name sahaya she calls for them to bring her a drop of the Water of Life After blending her tears with a mysterious substance and placing it on his lips she wakes Paul up confirming the prophecy of the lizan alib with channy slapping him and walking off in protest Paul explains to Jessica that his Visions were clear now he can essentially see possible Futures all at once and way for them to Prevail with their bloodline written across time he also reveals that he knew Jessica as the daughter of Baron har Conan some she herself only found out after drinking the Water of Life although it was effectively necessary in the freman tradition for Paul to kill stillar and take his place in order to speak at the Gathering something still God desperately wanted Paul refuses stating it is he that points the way and while channy kicks up a fuss saying that the prophecy would enslave her people she's told to be quiet by all including gurnie HCK confronting the millions of freman listening by saying that their rules did not apply to him as the lizan alib Paul ultimately declares that there are none among the freman that could stand against him while many stand up with their chis knives daring to fight him he continues by saying their mother fathers had warned them about his coming and that they should fear the moment revealing intimate details about all those that Dar to stand in his way he sways the entire crowd with his passion and fervor so much so that even the Northerners begin to bow down to him declaring that he was Paul muadi betres Duke of oracus the voice from the outer world he finally proclaims that he was here to lead them to Paradise with the crowd of fundamentalists chanting his name we cut to the Emperor who receives a formal Challenge from Paul arriving on the planet soon after with his entire sarda force the emperor admonishes the baron for failing to deal with House of trates as was promised at the same time Paul and his fman stage a multi-layered Attack under the cover of a massive storm that the lizan and algib had foreen would help them sgar and his troops attack from the West with the help from an atomic that H detonates to break the shield wall chany and the fedan strike from the East while Paul hits them head on from the north with his fundamentalists it's here that the desert power the fman that Duke ler had talked of is finally utilized using the sandstorm sandworms and the element of surprise the fman cut a swwa through the sardaka and Honan troops defeating them with ease and as the baron makes a desperate attempt to crawl to the emperor's Throne Paul arrives and kills him revealing that he knew he was his grandson after ordering his fman to kill the sardaka guarding the emperor and bring the prisoners to The Residency Paul also tells him to throw The Baron's body in the desert a humiliation to match the one shown to his father as the sarder and remaining haonan troops outside flee in panic their Spirit broken by the freman halik catches up to rean and fights him culminating with his blade in Ran's chest with the battle over Paul confronts the emperor for his role in the death of Duke leato and the near destruction of House of Trades with news that the great houses have begun to arrive in orbit Paul tells channy that he will love her no matter the outcome of what happens with the houses about to attack he orders gurnie to send the great houses a message that if they land he will use the remaining atomics to destroy all the spice mange the emperor tries to order Paul to bow at his feet as a servant of the Imperium but the muad explains that he will only allow shadam to keep his head in exchange for uran's hand in marriage challenge to Canley fed ralur agrees to be the emperor's Champion putting him and Paul in a battle for control over the universe the confrontation is fierce showcasing their Mutual skill and ferocity and although fed ralur manages to stab po muad ultimately strikes the lethal blow with the rules of Canley binding the emperor to comply he's forced to kiss the hand of Paul muad betraying Duke of arus the voice from the outer world as the new emperor of the Imperium unfortunately Paul is informed that the great houses will not accept this Ascension to Emperor leading him to order the freman to load their armies onto ships to begin their holy war and head to the promised Paradise notably as Paul takes the hand of uran in marriage channy storms out and the film film concludes with her riding a sandworm into the desert I will love you as long as I breathe this prophecy is how they enslave us it's not a prophecy it's a story are you prepared you've been preparing me my whole life Den's Dune delivers more than just Blockbuster Thrills its conclusion offers a pointed exploration of the central theme the director ASA Spotlight the perilous nature of power the narrative delves not just into the implications of Paul's burgeoning power for himself but also scrutinizes its consequences for the Galaxy magnified by zealous followers the conclusion paradoxically showcasing Paul liberating the fman while inadvertently imposing tyranny on others serves as a bitter lesson on the dangers of charismatic leaders and the dual-edged nature of power now I think it's important to note that many the events that take place in the film are quite different to the novel and to give you some context I'm going to discuss these in the final section my allegiance this to you do you believe me you will never lose me as long as you stay who you are while there is series of discernable deviations from the original text Den's Dune is a fairly faithful adaptation of Frank Herbert's seral work books and films are two completely different art forms and it's understandable that some changes need to be made to fit the visual medium and runtime after all the first novel especially in audiobook form is about 21 hours and despite the two-part film running to almost 6 hours not everything could be fit in vve introduced many modifications ranging from the absence of specific characters and adjustments in character trajectories to other narrative divergences from The Source material among these the adaptation temporal structure stands out with V's decision to eliminate the novel's 2-year time leap in favor of a shorter timeline following the end of the first film this condenses the progression and Alters the pace at which Paul's integration with the freman and his rise to power unfold the repercussions of Paul's fight with Jamis a pivotal moment from the end of the first film also diverges from the novel in Frank Herbert's epic Paul assumes responsibility for James's Widow Hara and their children integrating an essential aspect of freman tradition to the storyline and catalyzing a crucial bond this however is absent from the sequel with harr's character not featured equally notable is the absence of count fening a significant figure within house Gino known for his roles as an assassin Menat and Confidant to Emperor shadam while Dune 2 features his Benny chz wife lady Margo fenry count fening himself is missing this was despite his considerable involvement in the novel including an imperial command to assassinate Paul and a substantial deviation from The Source material perhaps the most glaring emission for me was through for haat the tradies menad whose fate was left ambiguous in the first film the sequel overlooks the continuation of his Arc from the book in it he survived the haran onslaught is Bent by Baron har Conan and becomes embroiled in a plot against Paul ultimately leading to his tragic demise upon refusing to harm him oh thofa I see they've installed your heart plug already don't be angry everyone gets one here all I can see is an atres that I want to kill hey s hard coning now aren't you this subplots exclusion from Dune 2 marks a significant departure from the book leaving another story line rich with Intrigue and loyalty untouched in payment of the many years of service to my family you may now ask of me anything you wish anything at all do you need my life form's friend it is yours three generations of you carry this no betray his Warrior away Dune 2 makes another significant alteration by reimagining the character of aler R trades because the 2 to threee timeline of Paul learning the ways of the freman was shortened to a few months instead of depicting Paul's sister as a 2-year-old with an advanced intellect the film keeps Alia within Jessica's womb throughout with that said Ana Taylor Joy does voice Alia's subconscious Communications with Jessica and Paul the film also simplified the Romantic subplot between Paul and channy admitting the birth and subsequent loss of their first child lato to the Elder which plays a poignant role in the book after the couple has been together for two years this loss is a crucial moment that enrages Paul later compounded by the birth of their Twins ganma and a second later the second and dune Messiah I thought it was interesting how Dune 2 weaved channy into the fabric of the lizan Alay prophecy more intricately than in the book while the film acknowledges Chan's fan Monica sahaya meaning Desert Spring rather than being a Priestess like she is in the novel here she's a fedin the sequel also reimagine gurny halex Ark deepening his Vendetta against glossu raban har Conan the architect of his scars and Family's demise unlike in the book where Ran's downfall is at the hands of the freman vve grants gurnie the cathartic climax of exacting personal Vengeance though if I'm to be honest his battle could have gone on a bit longer moreover Dune 2 modifies the conclusion with significant changes in character FES notably Baron har Conan's contrary to the novel where Alia ends the baron the film gives the decisive act to Polar trades this not only personalizes the confrontation but also introduces a note of shame to The Baron's end crafting a conclusion with intensified immediacy in retribution it should also be noted that these films present a markedly different conclusion to Fed R's story The climactic Duel avoids fed R's poison blades from the original in favor of a raw display of ferocity and combat prowess it also culminates in Paul unexpectedly delivering a fatal blow to his cousin's abdomen as opposed to striking him in the JW and up into the brain like the novel perhaps the most significant departure occurs in Chan's narrative Arc after Paul's Imperial coronation and his engagement to uran Chen's dramatic exit into the desert by summoning a sandworm symbolizes a disillusionment and perceived betrayal by Paul this emotional moment absent from Herbert's narrative leaves her fate ambiguous hinting at a struggle with Paul's transformation and the prophecy in Herbert's Vision channy grapples with Paul's choices yet finds a way to reconcile with them understanding the pragmatic necessity of his marriage to uran in name only she remained by his side as a concubine and the only woman that he loved the film however leaves her stance towards Paul and their shared future enveloped in ambiguity challenging the strength of their bond considering their two children ganma and especially lato II who would become the the god emperor of Dune play pivotal roles in the rest of the series this just seemed bizarre to me what I did appreciate though is the more Nuance betrayal of freman religiosity depicting a division within their culture with the north not believing in the prophecy while those in the South did this leans heavily on the Zeal of Southern fundamentalists rallying behind Paul as their Messiah a concept not explicitly defined in Herbert's original work the addition while not altering the core themes of religious fervor being weaponized does adjust the narrative mechanics spotlighting the benz's long game of seeding religious prophecies the depiction of this particularly the framing of SAR and as southernly compatriots as devout Fanatics present a logistical rather than thematic departure it maintains the eventual convergence of Paul at the helm of a fanatical Army yet exploring it through a slightly different lens than the book finally in the concluding moments of Dune 2 a notable deviation emerges with gurny saying that the great houses refus to acknowledge Paul's rise to emperor in Herbert's original Paul's menacing vow to obliterate the spice Minds on oracus coerced both the spacing Guild and the great houses into a reluctant acceptance of his ascendancy but the film showcased their outright challenge to his authority laying groundwork for potential conflicts in Dune 3 this not only added a layer of immediate political tension but also hinted the broader machinations that might Define the next chapter in The Saga with denov revealing he'd almost finished writing the script for the adaptation of the next book in the series Dune Messiah and Han Zimmer having already begun to score the music depending on how well part two does at the box office it looks like we'll be getting a third film I only hope that we don't get too many more deviations though as there are certain key events that need to happen to ensure that Frank Herbert's vision for his six book series remains intact I really enjoy doing Parts one and two and of course I'd love to hear your thoughts on the comments below so be sure to share what your takeaways from the film were with that said that's all for today folks if there's anything else you'd like for me to cover on Dune please don't hesitate to ask as always it's been a pleasure niat here with film Comics explained thanks for stopping by I I just want to make sure that if we do Dune Messiah that we have the best screenplay on the table and for that I want to take the time to do it if we do dun Messiah that we do the the I want to make the best movie ever so I I I want to just take my time [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
