May thy knife, chip and shatter May thy knife, Chip and shatter. Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie This will be my full breakdown of Dune Part Two Hopefully you have the chance to see the movie. We'll cover some of the biggest changes
from the original book and also talk about the ending, the teasers for part
three Dune Messiah and all the things the director, the cast have said about the future of the story. Beyond this, So if you're brand new to the channel,
be sure to subscribe to get all the videos. Remember, they're also doing the Dune
TV show on HBO later this year. We'll probably get a trailer
for that after House of the Dragon comes out. careful for spoilers. If you haven't seen Dune part two yet because we'll be
talking about the entire movie start to finish. But the movie adapts. The second half of the first book just called Dune. If you watch the original David Lynch Dune movie,
That movie tried to do the entire first book in a single movie
in right up cutting way more of the story. This new movie also makes some big changes of its own
for pacing reasons and because it's part of a planned trilogy. some of the changes they made were to specifically set up things they'll pay off
during part three, like aliya, for instance. and if you haven't seen the sci
fi Dune mini series from the early 2000s, it's actually the closest adaptation of the original books. they also wound up adapting dune
Messiah in children of dune the next books after this pretty accurately so I'm kind of expecting
the same thing with the Dune Messiah movie like it'll also be a little more different
from the books than the original sci fi miniseries. Part of that story,
We will see what happens by the time they get to God. Emperor of Dune,
that is going to be super weird and super trippy. But if these movies keep making money,
they will definitely turn that into a movie eventually. Just starting at the beginning of the movie, they open the same way they did with the first movie
with the sardukar throat chanting. This time they say Power over spice is power
Overall in the message is meant to convey the entire theme of the movie
because the whole movie is about Paul gaining control of spice on Arrakis in order to gain control
over the empire and the empire itself. Because in the dune universe, virtually all people need
the spacing guild to travel between planets. In the spacing guild navigators that pilot
their massive ships can't function without the spice. So that's why during the Dune series,
everybody keeps saying the spice must flow
because the universe would grind to a halt without it. there are beings and cultures in the dune universe
that try to come up with workarounds for this dependance on spice. But that's either extremely rare in in other cases, doesn't really happen until thousands of years
later in the plot from where we are now. So for right now in the timeline, everybody,
everybody must have their spice. it is going to be the most precious resource
in the universe for a good long while. in right now, Paul controls all of it under threat of
his nuclear weapons, which are referred to as Atomics. I'll explain the mythology of Atomics in the Dune
universe later in the video, because they're meant to be relics like old weapons from an ancient war
that all got banned across the universe long ago. So the fact that the traders family
kept their stockpile rather than destroy them is a huge, huge deal. the beginning of the movie covers
Paul and Lady Jessica's early days with the fremen
right after the end of the last movie. like barely any time has gone by. So the idea is the end of the first movie. He has the fight with James, he wins. then they begin traveling to that northern siege
that still Gar takes them to later, at the beginning of the film end, at the beginning of June part two,
they're still on the way to that siege. Like they just stop off
because of the Hawkins when Johnny compliments Paul for killing the Harkonnen troop,
she says he thought well, after he woke up. That's the reference to the book Lying
The Sleeper Must Awaken, which also plays into the whole idea of Paul drinking the waters of life in fully
coming into his powers as the quits that sidetrack when he says he can finally see clearly forwards
and backwards in time. it means these visions are much clearer
so we can see the past, everything that has ever happened in the future,
although technically he's got the ability to see all possible futures. it's a little bit like Loki or Doctor Strange
with the Time Stone during Avengers Infinity War where he can see all possible futures based on actions
that anybody might take in present day. that's why at the end of the movie, he says that after
he's taken the water of life, he can see a narrow way through where they survive this,
because in all other timelines, they always die. kind of like Doctor Strange is one in 14
million Chance, like there's one way in 14 million. We take these actions that we survive all this. But before he takes the waters of life,
he has limited ability to predict the future. But his visions aren't always as clear. That's part
of how he's able to win more fremen believers early on. He keeps having victory over victory against the Harkonnen spice miners
because he's using his visions to predict where they're going to be, how they're going to fight
so he can defeat them much faster. They also open the movie with narration from Princess. Irulan During the movie, she tries to discover
what really happened to the atriedes on Arrakis
and why the Harkonnen attacked them. Because her father, the Emperor, played by Christopher
Walken, has told her nothing of his secret plans. She refers to them as his calculus of power,
And when she says. The emperor thought of Duke
Leto Atriedes as a son like he was very close to him. She's honest about that. Like they were very close. So even though he essentially ordered
the end of his family, he feels extremely, extremely bad about it. but pretty early on, she discovers
the truth of the matter that the emperor ordered the hit himself on the atriedes
and helped the Hawkins to do it in order to prevent Leto atriedes
from gaining too much power inside the Landstraad, The universal government
made up of all the ruling houses. she also learns that it was really like dawn, really the bene gesserit behind everything. Reverend Mother mohiam,
essentially admits that she planted the idea to get rid of Leto Atriedes in the emperor said so
really was Reverend Mother Mohiam. That was behind the fall of the Atriedes. She claims that it was because she wanted
to protect their Kwisatz Haderach breeding program. They had multiple bloodlines
running through different great houses in Leto Atriedes in Paul were too defiant. Like I see defiance in your eyes, just like the father. And she was worried
should their bloodline continue and that sad wreck manifest from their bloodline,
the bene gesserit would not be able to control them. And that was the whole idea is they wanted to produce
a Kwisatz Haderach that they had complete control over. turns out she was right to be afraid
because it happened. And they cannot control Paul. in if it wasn't clear,
the princess is also a bene gesserit. She was trained in the bene gesserit order. She is loyal to them over her loyalty to her father,
the Emperor. Which is why Muharram has such an easy time
preventing her from telling her father that Paul is still alive
on track is before he gets Paul's challenge at the end of the movie
because the princess figured it out way before that. so for the second half of the movie,
the princess is preparing for the eventuality that either Paul or Fayd will prevail on Arrakis and she'll have to marry the winner
in order to secure peace. So no matter what,
she's going to have to get married to one of them. that's why by the time
Paul wins at the end of the movie and suggests the marriage to her as a condition of peace,
she knew that it would happen and it prepared bored and used it to her advantage to spare her father's life
because that was one of her conditions. Like, you have to let my father live. it's also why she didn't look very surprised
at his suggestion, like, you want to get married? Okay, yeah, we can do that. Walpole and Jessica are acclimating to life
with the Fremen. Baron Harkonnen has retaken control of spice
mining on Arrakis Is in Name's Ribbon, Governor. Again, with a change of leadership,
His long term plan is to eventually blackmail the emperor into a marriage with Fayd so that house
Harkonnen would become the ruling house of the Empire. all under threat of another civil war. If the Emperor would have turned him down,
he would have just revealed the Emperor's secret plan to destroy house Atriedes to the Lanstraad in per
the laws of their empire. The Emperor isn't allowed to show favoritism like that
or participate in battles between great houses. all the great houses of the Landstraad
theoretically would have banded together to destroy the Emperor's house,
basically eliminating him. So the Emperor was always going to have to agree
to a marriage alliance like this with one of the great houses,
no matter what earlier in the movie, The planet that you keep seeing, the princess
and the emperor on where everyone's meeting is Kaitain, the second throne world of the Empire. their ancestral home is Salusa Secundus, which is where the sardukar
were training during the first movie. But due to its harsh environment, one of the emperor's
ancestors moved the throne rule to Kaitain. You know, much nicer world. Maybe when we get to the next movie
we'll start visiting other planets, like they're slowly introducing other planets
in the mythology. probably one of the biggest changes that they made to
the original book is the way they adapted the Alia character, Paul's younger sister,
who is played by Anya TAYLOR-JOY during the book. They don't really talk to her while she's
still in the womb and she doesn't really speak to them from inside the womb or to Paul
before she's born during the book she's also born and is eventually the one to kill the Baron Harkonnen
instead of Paul doing it at the end of the movie. but obviously the reason why they had Paul
do it at the end of the movie is because they chose not to have Aliya Born until Dune Messiah. as part of some of these changes,
they keep showing you visions of her as a fetus, like they open the movie with a shot of her
as a fetus and Paul talking to her, but if it wasn't clear on the timeline here, Lady Jessica doesn't
actually start hearing her voice on you. Taylor-Joy's voice is Alia talking back
and forth with her until she takes the water of life. Before that moment, Alia is just a totally normal baby
like any other. when she takes the water of life, it
not only opens up her consciousness, it also causes Alia as a fetus to become totally conscious
and gain the full powers of a reverend mother. So essentially, yeah, this tiny little fetus
growing inciter, this exactly the same power level is this really, really powerful Reverend Mother,
So that's why after she's taken the waters of life and Aliya starts talking through Jessica to Paul,
like your sister's asking you about this. She says that you're lying.
She always knows when you're lying. They try to frame things in a way
that makes it feel like Alia is an adult character, even though technically she's still an undeveloped
fetus. there a couple moments to like, especially during
this moment when Alia speaks with her voice. Like on you Taylor-Joy's voice through Jessica's mouth saying that both of them will be waiting for Paul
in the South. It's super cool and super creepy. Later in the movie,
she also talks to Paul through his visions and you see an adult version of her
that's what she'll look like during Dune Messiah. without getting too far ahead of the plot. She is going to rip so hard
when we get to the next couple of movies. there are a couple of Easter eggs here
early in the movie, too, when Jessica admonishes Paul for turning his back on the harkonnen
while he's in the middle of a fight. That's a reference to Gurney in the first movie, yelling at Paul, saying the same thing
Never turn your back on an enemy. at the siege, they start showing the progression
of Paul's status with the Fremen community. some believe the bene gesserit propaganda
that he's their Messiah, the Lisa and all GEB, mostly the more religious southerners
who Chani says are fundamentalist like still gar. Still gar is like the number one
Paul Stan through the entire movie. anything that he does or Jessica does happens
because of the prophecy, according to him, which Chani is correct about, is propaganda
planted there centuries ago by the bene gesserit. all the northerners tend
to be more skeptical of him at first, including Chani, who is from the North
one of the other changes the movie makes from the books is the way they portray the prophecy
and the way Paul comes into this. Very aware
that he is taking advantage of the freshman's belief In order to get revenge on the Emperor,
that's all he cares about at first. Like he cares about his revenge, and he'll do whatever it takes to get it Eventually,
he starts to care about Chani. He does want to help the people. He's not trying to take advantage of them,
which is why he keeps refusing to go south where millions of Fremen already worship him in, tries to avoid taking the water of life as long as possible. All because his visions of the future are nightmares,
as he calls them, or him seeing his mother leading him to a future
where he gets a bunch of people killed. in all, those visions are the holy war
that begins at the end of the movie. And he winds up ultimately, I think, getting somewhere
north of like 60 billion people across the universe killed really high, really high
body count there. eventually. What starts to happen,
though, is that Jessica and Aliya also begin to believe more in the actual prophecy. At the beginning, Jessica is very clear about exploiting the prophecy
just to help Paul and their family survive. Like, we'll do whatever it takes to help Paul survive. They almost make her seem kind of sinister
the way she talks about going after the weaker Fremen first,
like we'll go after the ones who are afraid of us. but eventually, at the end of the movie,
even though she knows the prophecy was Avengers were a plant, so does Aliyah. They start to believe that it's all real early on. Still, Gar also convinces
Jessica to replace their dying reverend mother in shows her their secret stashes of water
hidden all over the planet. when he says their prophesies
return Arrakis into a green paradise again, that's stuff that they won't fully pay off until God Emperor of Dune,
which is like three movies away at this point. but it's also a reference to that line
at the end of the movie where Paul says, lead them to paradise
and begin the holy war, essentially. there are a lot of little references in this movie
in the previous movie to things that won't fully get paid off until a couple movies down the line
if they keep going, which they probably will. when Jessica says she can send so many souls
coming from the water, that's the dead souls she's sensing because the water is taken
from the Freemans dead over many centuries. So they're like hundreds of thousands of people
making up this one single body of water. And there are thousands of these all over the planet,
basically every fremen who has ever lived when Lady Jessica takes the water of life
and they joke calling it worm piss the water of life is actually the bile
of young Sandworms. Later in the movie, they showed Jessica and Leah
how they extract it from the young worms. and basically the process of her taking the water of life is like
you saw in previous movies, like it is in the books, essentially them realizing that she's pregnant
and they potentially created the abomination in Alien. The whole idea is they've given someone
this great power who might not be able to control it. It might be corrupted by the different memories
that they have access to Now, we can't really talk about Alia
becoming the abomination because that kind of gets into the plot of Dune
Messiah and Children of Dune. She becomes like a really,
really big character in the story. In that whole abomination
storyline is the biggest part of it. let's to say the Reverend mother here is right
to be afraid of what they just eat. Like, what have we done it is not going to end well. Normally, the water of life would be fatal to any male
who drank it. Paul's only able to survive because of his quit. That's Strike Powers. And with a little help from Chinese
tears, the whole desert spring part of the prophecy from which her secret name comes. The reason why she says she hates her secret
name is because she hates the prophecy itself and thinks it's only advantages
or a tool used to enslave the fremen in the prophecy about the tears,
her name basically just reminds her of that. They start to show Paulo in Chinese
developing relationship. Several months go by during the movies, but by the end of the film,
they've been a bonded couple for a good, long while. One of the other big changes in the movie
is they also make Lady Jessica Aliya Chinese storylines all much bigger than they were in previous
retellings of the story. this is why you spend so much more time with Chinese
and see more of her interacting with other characters who are not. Paul, more of her being engaged in the day to day
actual fighting. this is also to develop the big twist at the end
with the marriage in so that it hits way harder and feels like a much bigger betrayal to her
because she wasn't expecting it. Even though ERA was Paul
becoming of a Daken is also from the books. That's part of their warrior class, essentially
the ones who go on missions like this all the time and still Gar giving him his names
and him selecting his other name Uzo which means the base of the pillar in Maadi, which is basically that small desert mouse
that they kept showing you in the first movie. And in the second movie. one of the other sly reasons why he selects
this other secret name of the small mouse is because Mahadev sounds a lot like Maddy,
which is where the prophecy comes from. And he's trying to get more of these fremen
from the north to believe in him. So then, thinking about his name,
Maddy makes them think more about modern. This is a sly way of slowly turning then to his cause
just a little bit faster. writing the grandfather word for the first
time is also from the book's huge moment. Sandworms also live for thousands of years. You have to remember the fact he calls a grandfather. The word means extremely old and it's really once news
of him calling the grandfather worm going around pretty much all the fremen everywhere
on the planet start worshiping him as their messiah and he starts to become very uncomfortable
with his plan, taking advantage of them. a lot of people have thought of the Dune
storyline is a metaphor of the white savior trope in the cautionary tale about what can happen
This movie at least tries to portray him as being a little more aware of that, like
he doesn't want to be the white savior coming in trying to rescue everyone, even though it does kind of wind up
ending up that way ultimately, he winds up having to lead them to all this bloodshed and death
that he was trying to avoid the whole time. this is also a reference to the golden path
from the books, which is the whole reason why the Bene Gesserit created their centuries old breeding program
to create the Kwisatz Haderach in the first place. are being powerful enough
to lead humanity along the golden path, which is basically the best possible timeline. So they needed to being powerful enough
to be able to spot what the best time line was. and one of the biggest problems is that getting there
requires a ton a ton of bloodshed. this is why Paul is so hesitant to begin the steps on that journey, taking the water of life,
going to the south. then after Erewhon figures out the truth of everything
Moazzam did that Paul is still alive and that everything is going on. They introduced the new Austin Butler,
a version of faith. He is meant to be the barren successor. That's why everybody refers to him as Na Baron The next baron basically. This is also why the Baron tells him
that he's going to make him the next emperor when revealing his marriage plot. They also reveal Fayd is one of the other Bene Gesserit
bloodlines in their Kwisatz Haderach program. That's my lady Margot Fenrig forces him to sire an heir with her so His Kwisatz Haderach bloodline can continue
if he's killed by Paul, which he is. So there is a Fayd daughter out there
after the end of the movie. don't worry. That baby will become important in future movies. you could do a bunch of videos
just about Fayd and his brother. Ribbons. BackStory. They have such a crazy history. they briefly touch on that during the movie. Like, very quickly,
like their reference fade killing his mother, which is why Mohaim didn't
test him herself with the box in the game. Jabbar Because she had a motherly presence
as she joked, and he basically killed his mother. They don't really get into too much of the history
behind the Baron, too much in the books. But the idea is the baron himself
selected Fayd as his heir, who's basically his nephew, because the baron himself had no sons,
no wife, because essentially he's gay. but one of the other big reveals of the movie
is that Lady Jessica was really his daughter, sired by one of the other,
Bene Gesserit, basically the same situation that Lady Margaux has with Fayd,
forcing him to sire an air, which was a female Jessica is also telling the truth to Paul when she says
she didn't know that she was the Baron's daughter until she took the water of life and gain access
to all these previous memories. Being able to see the entire past. so. When Paula is joking with Fayd at the end
of the movie about them being cousins, that is correct. They are biologically cousins and even though
they try to make Fayd look a little more book accurate during this movie, like the black teeth and the no hair
when the Baron was younger, he looked just like they like
he was much more handsome in the present day. The reason why he's become so bloated, messed up
with diseases is because Reverend Mother Mohaim tried to sire that heir within
when they were younger in the baron and abused her almost killed her, Her revenge was to come back,
drug him, force him to sire Lady Jessica. That's where she came from. then injected the baron
with a bunch of genetic diseases, slowly destroying his body, turning it into the mess
that you see here during Fayd's birthday battle with the surviving a treaty, troops
in the doctor, they show he's a good fighter. But most of the time during his battles,
they implied that they drug his opponents. So essentially all of his fights are fixed. enough. It wasn't totally clear. When Margaux is tricking Fayd
in desiring the air with her, she also implants Bene Gesserit trigger word in his mind that,
when uttered, will cause total body paralysis in the whole idea is that
Mohaim wants to be able to control the Kwisatz Haderach program, all the different bloodlines. and because Fayd is total Crazytown banana pants. She just wants his genes,
like she wants the bloodline to continue. They'll just use trigger words, sexuality, humiliation,
all kinds of things to control him
while he's still alive, as long as they need to. Then we finally see Gurney come back into the story. He survived. Playing the song is also meant to be a callback
to the deleted scenes from the first movie. Josh Brolin created some music to play during
the first film, But they wound up cutting it for time. Speaking of deleted scenes,
there were a couple characters that they brought back in due in part to the got
cut for time. They brought back through fear. They didn't say what he was doing in his scenes,
but they also had Timberlake Nelson playing a version of Lady Margo's husband who He's a mentor
and they got a special things credit at the end of the movie, so no idea what they
were actually doing in the scenes that they filmed. Gurney introduces
the Atriedes Secret Stockpile of Atomics. These are a huge deal. They come from the but Larry and Jihad
era centuries ago when humanity fought a giant war against the thinking machines
basically artificial intelligence this is why all the technology in the dune universe in present day
seems so advanced yet so old timey at the same time, because all artificial intelligence was banned
after humanity destroyed the last thinking machines. shortly after the. But Larry and Jihad, the survivors
amongst the great houses across the universe, held a great convention
outlawing the further use of nuclear weapons. ATOMICS As they called them
in, everybody was ordered to destroy their stockpiles. but as Gurney says here, House Atriedes
never did Probably some of the other great houses also still have some of their atomics to any subsequent
duke inside the house Atriedes line until now just kept them in secret storage
wherever their family was located In present day, Paul intends to use them as a threat
to the landstraad the other great houses in the Empire that he'll destroy all spies on the planet,
bringing the entire universe to a standstill. Here's the thing about Atomics. The treaty banning nuclear weapons essentially said
that violators would have their entire planet wiped from existence, like nuked from orbit by the other
great houses if they were found using them. the whole reason why Paul was able to get around
rule is because not only are they on Arrakis and they didn't want to destroy Arrakis
because that would mean destroying Old Spice, but also the way Paul used his atomic
just destroying the shield wall. so he narrowly avoided pissing off all of the other
great houses before he named himself the new Emperor right before his ascension,
He wound up pissing them all off anyway, for completely different reasons
Then already explain how they changed the first big part of the ending here, with Paul
being the one to kill the Baron instead of Olia them also planting him outside with the ants
crawling all over his body too was a bit of a change. Paul defeats fade during their night fight. It was some great fight choreography
right out of the books. end, even though they generally captured
the themes of the book in the ending here, they cut a big moment of Chani and Irulan
talking about how history would call them wives. the movie version of the ending makes
Chani feel way more betrayed, way more pissed off at Paul's decision
to marry the princess she leaves on the Sandworm is Paul commands all the Fremen
to take the Emperor's ships and lead them to paradise. They begin the Holy war, the jihad there will basically
play out over the events of Do Messiah. But remember,
the Holy War is meant to cover the entire universe. Not just what's happening around
Arrakis one of the other big changes is that all the great houses have brought their warships to orbit
The Baron lured them here by informing them of the Emperor's presence, claiming
that the Hawkins were under attack by the Emperor. Like, why would the Emperor
bring his entire army to Arrakis but the reason why Paul started the war was because
after he got the emperor to agree to his terms, the great Houses refused
accept his ascension to become the new emperor. if you remember during the events of the first movie,
he has visions of the actual jihad going down like billions
and billions of people being killed in his name. Like I said, over 60 billion people R.I.P.,
and now it's coming to pass. one of the other reasons why they probably wanted
the great Houses warships in orbit here is so that when Dune part three Dune
Messiah begins, you can start that movie with a giant space battle
You had to imagine, like the beginning of Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith,
like the crazy space battle happening in orbit. Overall, most of all, these changes from
the books were meant to serve as setting up moments in Dune three or character arcs
that'll play out over the next couple of movies. one of the other biggest changes, too,
is there's no actual flash. We're like, you don't actually see Leto. The second or Ghanim is children, Chinese children. With Paul, the idea of his marriage to airline
the princess is that it's in name only. They literally never touch each other. That was Paul's promise to Chani in the book
that he would never touch her and he never does. this will become a bigger thing in later movies, too. Despite accepting the marriage, the princess
also continues to be loyal to Reverend Mother Mohiam in the Bene Gesserit order, who want to prevent Paul
from having any children at any cost. really big subplot during the next movie. Do Messiah. So if you thought there wasn't enough princess
in this movie, she becomes a much bigger character in the story. In the next two movies, in probably one of the other
biggest things that the director is talked about is the Dune part three Dune Messiah will basically be
the end of Paul's story, not necessarily his complete. And like
I mean they could technically ended in the next movie. He does continue a little bit into the story
of Children of Dune, which is like the fourth movie. but I think they're planning on doing part
three to be the end of his time as a main character in, the story, because essentially his children and some of the other side characters
take over the plot heading forward after that, especially especially an adult version of Alia
who will be played by Anya TAYLOR-JOY. Obviously I cannot wait to see her go complete,
really crazy, not getting too far into that. Like if you have read ahead in the books,
please don't post spoilers for her in the comments. Now everybody is going to be wondering
are they actually going to try and do God Emperor of Dune in the movies? That is going to be so weird. I believe the director Danny Bill knew said
the Dune part three is the last movie he's planning on doing himself. They might hand it over to another director
for Children of Dune, and it sounds like they will continue with the movies
after that. As long as they keep making money,
they'll keep making movies. but the other big thing that's happening later this
year, like I said, is the Dune TV series coming to HBO. We haven't seen a trailer for that yet. maybe when House of the Dragon Season two starts
airing episodes, then they'll start teasing it. they're like a billion other things
that you could talk about from this movie. So there are any big Easter eggs or references that I didn't get into in this video
that you wanted to talk about. Just write them below in the comments Overall,
I thought it was a great movie. I think it's a little more action packed than the first movie For people
that thought the first one was a little too slow, I've already posted my review I'll post a link for that down the description below
next big movie Coming up will be Godzilla X Kong Click here for that big trailer video and click here
for all my Deadpool and Wolverine videos Thank you so much for watching
and I'll see you guys in the next one!
