Moist Meter | Dune Part 2

“You paid for the whole seat but will only use the edge.” Probably one of the best compliments for a film.

paul takes a dump stilgar : "LISAN AL GAIB LISAN AL GAIBBB'

Paul: takes piss but doesnt shake it after The People: "AS WRITTEN AS WRITTEN"

Brp the scene where Paul was riding the sand worm, was absolutely breathtaking.

"You paid for the whole seat, but you only need the edge." Damn, that's a great line.

The first half of this movie is like a grade A comfort movie in its own right. I loved Stilgar going "see he's the messiah!" every other scene.

I think Paul’s shift in attitude and contradictory behavior make perfect sense in the context of the movie. Imagine getting snippets of a horrible future and having a vague notion of how you are responsible. You’d want to avoid it at all costs. But if you can suddenly see the whole future in multiple different timelines, you can come to accept some of those horrible things in an ends justify the means type way. I feel like gaining the power Paul gets from drinking the worm poison would drastically shift anyone’s behavior and outlook on things. With that power of foresight, he has fully stepped into his role as a messianic figure and knows how he must act to accomplish his goals. Before he was scared but fear is rooted in uncertainty. Once he discovers what will happen he no longer fears the future and acts accordingly.

I love that the black and white scenes were filmed with infrared instead of being done in post

I honestly really loved how brutally quick and unemphasized deaths were. It always kinda frustrated me how drawn out fight scenes get to kill off important characters, especially when that character wasn't even a fighter at any point in the story. These quick deaths display a certain brutality in war, show that no matter how big and important you are you can die in an instant.

The part where he walks in confidently to the council in the South of Arrakis, the music implemented there, the people starring at him in disbelief was one of the best scenes for me. It shows his character changed into full confidence mode like "idgaf I can see the future now".

Probably has the best title drop ever to. “Back then, Arakkis had a fremen name: Dune”

Watch this in theaters DO NOT WAIT FOR STREAMING. This movie deserves to be seen on the big screen and you deserve to see it on the big screen. (Obvious due to comments but the sound is what you’re really there for)

Man, Austin Butler NAILED the role of Feyd-Rautha. Everything he does with that character, he does very well. Also, this man really knows how to use his voice, I mean, remember that this guy also played Elvis. What an amazing actor he is

One thing to add — the cool ass black and white scenes you are talking about were shot with an infrared camera, not a black and white camera. So it’s not normal b&w, it’s super b&w. It is also why you see the black bene gesserit hoods turn stark white when they change scenes. Absolutely fantastic

Bro the colosseum scene is one of the best scenes I’ve ever watched in film

If you're talking about the Baron's death, you're right. He doesn't get unceremoniously killed by Paul in the book. Instead, he's he's unceremoniously killed by a 4-year-old.

My favorite part is when Paul is walking in the desert and says: "this is a dune, too"

Near the end of the movie I checked my phone for the time, not because I was hoping it would end soon but because I wanted even more. One of the biggest achievements in filmmaking this century. Villeneuve is a master of his craft.

Love how they stopped playing background music for the 1v1 at the end. The only sounds are the struggles of the combatants, the knife blades clashing, the flesh tearing, the crowd gasping, the combatants breathing. It was so intense and well done. The decision to cut the music there only added to the scene

Ironically the big character deaths also go by super quick in the book but in a slightly different way
