Dune Part Two FULL Breakdown, Easter Eggs and Ending Explained

May your knife break and break. May your knife break and break. Welcome everyone, I'm Charlie. This will be my

full

breakdown

of Dune Part Two. I hope you have the opportunity to see the film. We'll cover some of the biggest changes from the original book and also talk about the

ending

, the trailers for the third

part

of Dune Messiah, and all the things the director and cast have said about the future of the story. Beyond this, if you are new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to receive all the videos. Remember, they're also making the Dune TV show on HBO later this year.

We'll probably get a trailer for that after House of the Dragon comes out. Beware of spoilers. If you haven't seen the second

part

of Dune yet, we'll talk about the entire movie from start to finish. But the film adapts. The second half of the first book is simply called Dune. If you look at the original David Lynch movie Dune, that movie tried to make the entire first book into one movie by cutting out a lot more of the story. This new film also makes some major changes for pacing reasons and because it's part of a planned trilogy.

Some of the changes they made were to specifically set up things that will come to fruition during part three, like aliya, for example. and if you haven't seen the early 2000s sci-fi miniseries Dune, it's actually the closest adaptation of the original books. They also ended up adapting Dune Messiah into Children of Dune in the following books after this one pretty accurately, so I'm hoping for the same with the Dune Messiah movie as it will also be a little more different from the books than the original lore. Fiction miniseries. Part of that story, we will see what happens when they get to God.

Emperor of Dune, that's going to be super weird and super cool. But if these movies keep making money, they will definitely make it into a movie eventually. Starting from the beginning of the film, they start the same way they did in the first film with sardukar throat singing. This time they say that power over spices is power. Overall, the message is meant to convey the entire theme of the movie because the entire movie is about Paul gaining control of the spices on Arrakis so he can control the empire and the empire itself. Because in the

dune

universe, practically everyone needs the space guild to travel between planets.

In the space guild, the navigators who pilot their massive ships cannot function without spice. That's why throughout the Dune series, everyone keeps saying that spice must flow because the universe would stop without it. There are beings and cultures in the universe of the

dune

s that try to find solutions to this dependence on spices. But that's extremely rare in other cases, it doesn't actually happen until thousands of years later in the plot we're in now. So for now on the timeline, everyone, everyone must have their flavor. It will be the most precious resource in the universe for a long time.

At this moment, Paul controls all of this under the threat of his nuclear weapons, which are known as Atomic. I will explain the mythology of the Atomic in the Dune universe later in the video, because they are meant to be relics like old weapons from an ancient war that was banned throughout the universe long ago. So the fact that the merchant family kept their reserves instead of destroying them is a huge thing. The beginning of the film covers Paul and Lady Jessica's first days with the Fremen right after the end of the last film. as if time had barely passed.

So the idea is the

ending

of the first movie. He has the fight with James, he wins. Then they start traveling to that northern siege that Gar still takes them to later, at the beginning of the end of the movie, at the beginning of the second part of June, they are still on their way to that siege. As if they just stopped by the Hawkins when Johnny congratulates Paul for killing the Harkonnen troop, she says that he thought well, after he woke up. That is the reference to the book Lying The Sleeper Must Awaken, which also plays with the idea that Paul drinks the waters of life to

full

y regain his powers while he is sidetracked when he says that he can finally see clearly ahead and back in time. .

It means that these visions are much clearer so that we can see the past, everything that happened in the future, although technically he has the ability to see all possible futures. It's a bit like Loki or Doctor Strange with the Time Stone during Avengers Infinity War, where he can see all possible futures based on the actions anyone could take in the present. That's why at the end of the movie, he says that after drinking the water of life, he can see a narrow path where they survive, because in every other timeline, they always die. something like Doctor Strange has a one in 14 million chance, like there's a one in 14 million way.

We take these actions so that we survive all of this. But before taking the waters of life, he has a limited ability to predict the future. But his visions are not always so clear. That's part of how he can win more Fremen believers from the start. He continues to have victory upon victory against the Harkonnen spice miners because he is using his visions to predict where they will be, how they will fight so he can defeat them much faster. They also open the film with Princess' narration. Irulan During the film, he tries to find out what really happened to the Atriedes on Arrakis and why the Harkonnens attacked them.

Because his father, the Emperor, played by Christopher Walken, hasn't told her anything about his secret plans. She refers to them as her power calculation, and when she says. The emperor thought of Duke Leto Atriedes as a son, as if he were very close to him. She's honest about that. As if they were very close. So, even though she essentially ordered the end of her family, she feels extremely bad about it. But she soon discovers the truth of the matter: the Emperor himself ordered the attack on the Atriedes and helped the Hawkins do it to prevent Leto Atriedes from gaining too much power within the Landstraad, the universal government made up of all the ruling houses. she also learns that it really was like the dawn, really the benefit behind everything.

Reverend Mother Mohiam essentially admits that she planted the idea of ​​getting rid of Leto Atriedes on the emperor who actually said that was what Reverend Mother Mohiam was like. That was what caused the downfall of the Atriedes. She claims it was because she wanted to protect her Kwisatz Haderach breeding program. They had multiple bloodlines running through different great houses in Leto Atriedes and Paul were too defiant. As if he saw defiance in your eyes, like the father. And she was worried that if her bloodline continued and that sad disaster manifested in her bloodline, the bene gesserit would not be able to control them.

And that was the idea: they wanted to produce a Kwisatz Haderach over which they had complete control. Turns out she was right to be afraid because it happened. And they can't control Paul. In case it wasn't clear, the princess is also a bene gesserit. She was trained in the bene gesserit order. She is more loyal to them than she is to her father, the Emperor. That's why Muharram finds it so easy to stop her from telling her father that Paul is still alive before receiving Paul's challenge at the end of the movie because the princess noticed her long before that.

So for the second half of the film, the princess is preparing for the eventuality that either Paul or Fayd will prevail on Arrakis and she will have to marry the winner to ensure peace. So no matter what happens, she will have to marry one of them. That's why when Paul wins at the end of the movie and suggests marriage as a condition for peace, she knew it would happen and she prepared herself bored and used it to her advantage to spare her father's life because that was one of her conditions. You have to let my father live.

That's also why she didn't seem too surprised by her suggestion, like, do you want to get married? Okay, yeah, we can do that. Walpole and Jessica are adjusting to life with the Fremen. Baron Harkonnen has regained control of spice mining on Arrakis Is in Name's Ribbon, Governor. Once again, with a change in leadership, his long-term plan is to eventually blackmail the Emperor into marrying Fayd so that House Harkonnen becomes the ruling house of the Empire. all this under the threat of another civil war. If the Emperor had rejected him, he would have simply revealed the Emperor's secret plan to destroy House Atriedes to Lanstraad according to the laws of his empire.

The Emperor is not allowed to show favoritism like that or participate in battles between great houses. In theory, all the great houses of Landstraad would have united to destroy the Emperor's house, basically eliminating him. So the Emperor was always going to have to accept a marriage alliance like this with one of the great houses, no matter what happened before in the movie, The planet you keep seeing, the princess and the emperor where they all meet is Kaitain , the second world throne of the Empire. Their ancestral home is Salusa Secundus, which is where the Sardukar trained during the first film.

But due to its harsh environment, one of the emperor's ancestors moved the throne to Kaitain. You know, a much better world. Maybe when we get to the next movie we'll start visiting other planets, like they're slowly introducing other planets into the mythology. Probably one of the biggest changes they made to the original book is the way they adapted the character of Alia, Paul's younger sister, played by Anya TAYLOR-JOY during the book. They don't really talk to him about her while she's still in the womb and she doesn't really talk to them from inside the womb or to Paul before he is born during the book in which she is also born and is ultimately the one who kills Baron Harkonnen. of Paul doing it at the end of the movie. but obviously the reason 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 still show 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 in the timeline here, Lady Jessica you don't really begin to hear his voice in you. Taylor-Joy's voice is Alia talking to 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, she not only opens her consciousness, but also causes Alia, as a fetus, to become fully conscious and gain all the powers of a reverend mother.

So essentially, yes, this little fetus growing inciting, this exact same level of power is this really, really powerful Reverend Mother. So after she has taken the waters of life and Aliya begins to speak through Jessica to Paul, as your sister asks. you about this. She says you are 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 she is technically still an undeveloped fetus. There are a couple of moments that I like, especially during this moment when Alia speaks in her voice.

As in you, Taylor-Joy's voice through Jessica's mouth saying that they will both be waiting for Paul in the South. It's super cool and super creepy. Later in the movie, she also talks to Paul through visions of her and you see an adult version of her, which is what she will look like during Dune Messiah. without getting too far ahead of the plot. She will tear up very hard when we get to the next movies. There are also a couple of Easter

eggs

here early in the movie, when Jessica berates 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 and saying the same thing: Never turn your back on an enemy. During the siege, they begin to show the progression of Paul's status in the Fremen community. some believe the bene gesserit propaganda that he is the Messiah of him, Lisa and the entire GEB, mainly the more religious southerners who, according to Chani, are fundamentalists like still gar. Still gar is like Paul Stan number one throughout the entire movie. Everything he or Jessica does happens because of prophecy, which he claims, which Chani is right, is propaganda planted there centuries ago by the Bene Gesserit.

All 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 enters into this. Well aware that he is taking advantage of the freshman's belief to get revenge on the Emperor, that's all he cares about at first. As if he cared about his revenge and would do whatever it took to get it. Over time, he starts to worry about Chani. He wants to help people. He does not try to take advantage of them, so he continues to refuse to go south, where millions of Fremen already worship him, and tries to avoid drinking the water of life as long as possible.

All because his visions of his future are nightmares, as he calls them, or because he sees his mother taking him to a future.in which he kills a lot of people. Ultimately, these visions are the holy war that begins at the end of the film. And I think ultimately it ends up getting somewhere north of about 60 billion people in the entire universe killed there, a really high body count. eventually. However, what starts to happen is that Jessica and Aliya also start to believe more in the real prophecy. At first, Jessica is very clear that she wants to exploit the prophecy just to help Paul and his family survive.

We'll do whatever it takes to help Paul survive. They almost make her sound a little sinister with the way she talks about going after the weaker Fremen first, as if we're going after the ones who are afraid of us. but finally, at the end of the movie, even though she knows that the prophecy was that the Avengers were a plant, Aliyah knows it too. They begin to believe that everything is too early. Still, Gar also convinces Jessica to replace her dying reverend mother and shows her his secret water reserves hidden around the planet. when he says that the prophecies of him returning Arrakis to a green paradise again, that's something that won't fully come to fruition 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, take them to paradise and start the holy war, essentially.

There are a lot of little references in this movie in the previous movie to things that won't be fully paid off until a couple of movies later if they continue, which they probably will. When Jessica says that she can send so many souls from the water, those are the dead souls she is sensing because the water is taken from the dead Freemans over many centuries. It's like hundreds of thousands of people that make up this single body of water. And there are thousands of these all over the planet, basically every Fremen who has ever lived when Lady Jessica drinks the water of life and jokes calling it worm urine, the water of life is actually the bile of young worms. sand.

Later in the movie, they showed Jessica and Leah how they extract it from young worms. and basically the process of her drinking the water of life is like she saw in previous movies, like in the books, they essentially realize she's pregnant and potentially created the abomination in Alien. The idea is that they've given someone this great power that maybe they can't control it. It could be corrupted by the different memories they have access to. Now, we can't really talk about Alia becoming the abomination because that falls into the plot of Dune Messiah and Children of Dune.

She becomes a really important character in the story. In all that history of abomination is the greatest part. Let's say that here the Reverend Mother is right to be afraid of what they just ate. Like, what we've done is not going to end well. Normally, the water of life would be fatal to any man who drank it. Paul can only survive thanks to his resignation. Those are attack powers. And with a little help from Chinese tears, the entire desert sprouts part of the prophecy from which her secret name comes. The reason he says he hates her secret name is because he hates the prophecy itself and thinks that they are just advantages or a tool used to enslave the Fremen in the prophecy about tears, her name basically just reminds him that.

They begin to show Paulo in a developing Chinese relationship. Several months pass during the films, but by the end of the film, they have been a close couple for a long, long time. One of the other big changes in the film is that they also make Lady Jessica Aliya's Chinese stories much larger than in previous versions of the story. That's why you spend a lot more time with the Chinese and see her interact more with other characters who aren't Chinese. Paul, more of her involved in the real day-to-day struggle. This is also to build up the big twist at the end with the marriage so that it hits that much harder and feels like a much bigger betrayal to her because she wasn't expecting it.

Although ERA was Paul becoming a Daken it's also in the books. That's part of his warrior class, essentially the ones that go on missions like this all the time and yet Gar gives him their names and he selects his other name, Uzo, which means the pillar base in Maadi, which is basically that little desert mouse. that they continued to show you in the first movie. And in the second movie. One of the other clever reasons he selects this other secret name for the little mouse is because Mahadev looks a lot like Maddy, where the prophecy comes from.

And he's trying to get more northern Fremen to believe in him. So, thinking of his name, Maddy makes them think more about modern. This is a sneaky way to slowly turn to the cause of it a little faster. Writing Grandpa's word for the first time is also a great moment in the book. Sandworms also live for thousands of years. You have to remember the fact that Grandpa calls. The word means extremely ancient and it is actually news that he calls Grandfather Worm and that almost all the Fremen on the entire planet begin to worship him as their messiah and he begins to feel very uncomfortable with his plan, taking advantage of them.

Many people have thought that the Dune story is a metaphor for the white savior trope in warning about what can happen. This movie at least tries to portray him as a little more aware of that, like he doesn't want to. to be the white savior that comes trying to rescue everyone, even though in the end he ends up that way, he ends up having to lead them into all this bloodshed and death that he was trying to avoid the whole time. This is also a reference to the golden path of the books, which is why the Bene Gesserit created their centuries-old breeding program to create the Kwisatz Haderach in the first place. they are being powerful enough to guide humanity down the golden path, which is basically the best possible timeline.

Therefore, they needed to be powerful enough to be able to detect which was the best timeline. and one of the biggest problems is that getting there requires a ton of bloodshed. That is why Paul hesitates so much to begin the steps of that journey, taking the water of life, going south. then after Erewhon finds out the truth of everything Moazzam did, Paul is still alive and everything is happening. They introduced the new Austin Butler, a version of faith. He is destined to be the barren successor. That's why everyone refers to him as Na Baron, basically the next baron.

This is also why the baron tells him that he will make him the next emperor when he reveals his marriage plan to her. They also reveal that Fayd is one of the other Bene Gesserit lineages in their Kwisatz Haderach program. That's my lady Margot Fenrig, forcing him to father an heir with her so that her Kwisatz Haderach lineage can continue if Paul kills him, which it does. So there is a daughter of Fayd after the end of the movie. Don't worry. That baby will be important in future movies. You could make a lot of videos about Fayd and her brother.

Ribbons. Background. They have such a crazy story. they briefly touch on that during the film. Very quickly, as if the reference to her faded away by killing her mother, which is why Mohaim didn't try it herself with the game box. Jabbar Because she had a motherly presence as she joked, and he basically killed her mother. They don't really delve much into the story behind the Baron, nor much in the books. But the idea is that the baron himself selected Fayd as his heir, who is basically his nephew, because the baron himself had no children or wife, because he is essentially gay. but one of the other big reveals of the film is that Lady Jessica was actually his daughter, fathered by one of the other Bene Gesserit, basically the same situation that Lady Margaux has with Fayd, forcing him to father an air, which was a The woman Jessica also tells the truth to Paul when she says that she didn't know she was the Baron's daughter until she drank the water of life and gained access to all of these previous memories.

Being able to see the entire past. so. When Paula jokes with Fayd at the end of the film about them being cousins, that's correct. They are biological cousins ​​and although they try to make Fayd look a little more true to the book during this movie, like the black teeth and lack of hair when the baron was younger, he looked just like them, like he was much more handsome in the book. present. day. The reason he has become so swollen and affected by illness is because the Reverend Mother Mohaim tried to father that inner heir when they were younger in the baron and abused her and almost killed her.

Her revenge was to return, drug him, force him to father Lady Jessica. That's where she came from. He then injected the Baron with a bunch of genetic diseases, slowly destroying his body, turning him into the mess you see here during Fayd's birthday battle with the survivors of a treaty, troops in the doctor, showing that he is a good fighter. But most of the time during their battles, they implied that they drugged his opponents. Basically, all of his fights are fixed. enough. It wasn't entirely clear. When Margaux tricks Fayd into wishing for air with her, he also implants a Bene Gesserit trigger word in her mind that, when spoken, will cause total body paralysis; the idea is that Mohaim wants to be able to control the Kwisatz Haderach program. all the different lineages. and because Fayd is a complete banana nut.

She only wants her genes, as she wants the lineage to continue. They will just use trigger words, sexuality, humiliation, all kinds of things to control him while he is still alive, whenever necessary. Then we finally see Gurney return to the story. He survive. The song's playback is also intended as a callback to deleted scenes from the first film. Josh Brolin created some music to play during the first movie, but they ended up cutting it for time. Speaking of deleted scenes, there were a couple of characters they brought back due in part to the time cut. They came 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 is a mentor, and they got credits for special things at the end of the movie, so I have no idea what they were. really doing in the scenes they filmed. Gurney presents Atriedes' secret reserve of atoms. These are a big problem. They come from the era of Larry and Jihad centuries ago, when humanity waged a giant war against thinking machines, basically artificial intelligence. That's why all the technology in the dune universe today seems so advanced but so old 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 of the great houses across the universe, held a grand convention prohibiting the future use of nuclear weapons. ATOMICS When they were called in, they were all 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 atoms for any later dukes within the House Atriedes line until now they simply kept them in secret storage wherever their family was currently located. Paul intends to use them as a threat to the other great houses of the Empire and will destroy all spies on the planet, paralyzing the entire universe.

This is what happens with Atomic. The treaty banning nuclear weapons essentially said that violators would have the entire planet wiped from existence, as if the other great houses would bomb them from orbit if they were found to be using them. The only reason Paul was able to get around the 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 atomic energy from him by simply destroying the shield wall. so he narrowly avoided angering all the other great houses before naming himself the new Emperor just before his ascension.

He ended up pissing them all off anyway, for completely different reasons. So he already

explained

how they changed the first big part of the ending. here, with Paul being the one who killed the baron instead of Olia, also planting him outside with ants crawling all over his body was also a bit of a change. Paul's defeats fade away during their nightly fight. It was great fight choreography right out of the books. In the end, while they generally captured the themes of the book at the end here, they cut out a great moment where Chani and Irulan were talking about how history would call them wives.

The movie version of the ending makes Chani feel much more betrayed, much more angry at Paul's decision to marry the princess she leaves behind on the Sandworm. Paul orders all the Fremen to take the Emperor's ships and take them to paradise. They begin the Holy War, the jihad there will basically build on the events of Do Messiah. But remember, the Holy War is intended to cover the entireuniverse. Not just what's happening around Arrakis, one of the other big changes is that all the great houses have put their warships into orbit. The Baron lured them here by informing them of the Emperor's presence, claiming that the Hawkins were under attack by the Emperor.

For example, why would the Emperor bring his entire army to Arrakis, but the reason Paul started the war was because after he got the Emperor to agree to his terms, the great Houses refused to accept his ascension to become the new emperor? If you remember the events of the first film, he has visions of real jihad, as if billions and billions of people were killed in the name of him. Like I said, over 60 billion people R.I.P., and now it's happening. One of the other reasons they probably wanted the warships of the great Houses to be in orbit here is so that when the third part of Dune, 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 that happens in orbit. Overall, mostly, these changes from the books were meant to serve as set-up moments in Dune Three or character arcs that will play out in the upcoming films. One of the other biggest changes is that there is no real flash. We think you don't really see Leto. The second or Ghanim isChildren, Chinese children. With Paul, the idea of ​​his marriage to the airline princess is that it be 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 also become more important in later films. Despite agreeing to the marriage, the princess also remains loyal to Reverend Mother Mohiam of the Bene Gesserit order, who wants to prevent Paul from having children at any cost. A really important subplot during the next movie. Make the Messiah. So if you thought there wasn't enough princess in this movie, she becomes a much more important character in the story. In the next two movies, probably one of the other biggest things the director is talking about is the third installment of Dune.

Dune Messiah will basically be the end of Paul's story, not necessarily the complete one. And I mean they could technically end up in the next movie. It continues the story of Children of Dune a bit, which is like the fourth movie. but I think they're planning to make the third part to be the end of his time as the main character in the story, because essentially his children and some of the other supporting characters take over the plot after that, especially an adult version of Alia who will be played by Anya TAYLOR-JOY. Obviously I can't wait to see her go completely crazy, without getting into it too much.

If you've read the books ahead of time, don't post spoilers for her in her comments. Now everyone will be wondering if they will really try to make the God Emperor from Dune in the movies. That's going to be very strange. I think the director Danny Bill knew said that the third part of Dune is the last movie he plans to make himself. They may hand it off to another director for Children of Dune, and it looks like they'll continue with the movies after that. As long as they keep making money, they will keep making movies. but the other big thing happening later this year, like I said, is the Dune TV series coming to HBO.

We haven't seen a preview of that yet. maybe when House of the Dragon season two starts airing episodes, then they'll start making fun of it. It's like a billion other things you could talk about in this movie. So there are some great references or Easter

eggs

that I didn't touch on 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 the people who thought the first one was too slow, I already posted my review.

I'll post a link for that in the description below. The next big movie. be Godzilla X Kong Click here to see the big trailer and click here to see all my Deadpool and Wolverine videos. Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in the next one!
