Dune Part 3 FULL TRAILER ANALYSIS

Hi guys, Quinn here. If you appreciate my content, consider hitting the like button. It's the best way to get the YouTube algorithm to take notice of my YouTube channel. Thanks so much, guys. Hi guys. The time has finally come. The Dune 3 official trailer has come out because that last thing we watched was just a teaser, apparently.

And now we finally got the official trailer. I'm incredibly excited about it. Now we've been discussing Dune on this channel for like eight years now. Since way before the first movie came out. Our original hope on this channel was that we got a single good Dune movie that was respectful to the source material and that was epic.

Something that honored Frank Herbert's original vision. After the first movie came out, I had people that worked on the film reach out to me to say that they had watched my content and to let me know that them watching my content helped them in some ways while making this movie, and it's just incredible to know that, like, in some tiny way, my content influenced the making of the Dune movie, so that's always been really cool.

But now let's talk about this new trailer, which I'm very excited for, and it's very it looks very interesting. Now, if you look, if you pay attention, you can see that a lot of this is happening in seemingly two timelines. There seems to be a timeline that's happening shortly after the first movie, right?

And which Chani is still very angry at Paul. And a lot of people don't like this decision to make Chani more angry at Paul, which whereas in the book she's very accepting of everything that's happening. And I get Villeneuve's decision to change the Chani character for this part of it, because she's externalizing what you would pick up from the subtext of reading the book, but would be maybe harder to show in a movie, right?

And that is kind of the disillusionment of the Fremen that happens by the time we get to Dune Messiah, which is like twelve years later. Not every Fremen, but a lot of them. There's this immense sense of you know being used by Paul, um, being betrayed. Because if you look at the text, that is exactly what happened.

Paul was never truly Frimin, he used the Frimin to get revenge for his family. That is what we see in the Dune movies, and that's what happens in the book. I've mentioned this scene from Children of Dune many, many times. I'm not gonna spoil it, but there's a scene where a specific character says to Paul, it is a shame you were never really Frimin.

And I've talked about this moment before, and if you know, you know, but I don't want to give the spoilers away in case people don't know about what that is. But it's a shame you were never really Frimin. And the reason that line hits so hard is because it's completely true. Paul was always an outsider.

It was never about Dune or the people of Dune or all the mysticism that's tied into all of that. It was about Paul's revenge. And now, by the time we get to this movie, by the time Paul is the center of imperial power, Paul has weaponized the Fremen and spread them across the galaxy. Countless Fremen die and billions of other humans die.

So I think that Villeneuve is having Chani's character reflect that idea that Paul has used the Fremen and abused them in their and their culture in some way. And I think that is why in the beginning, Chawny is very, very hurt. I don't think it's gonna remain like that throughout the entire movie. For various reasons.

Like, for one, this movie takes place over the course of like over a decade. So, if this movie takes place over the course of a decade, I can't see Chawny like staying at the same level of angry that she feels in the beginning when Paul has just decided to not only become emperor but to take Princess Iralon as a wife.

I do think that is part of the reason that Chani is upset. And I do think it's a very human thing for someone to be upset about that. So but we will see what becomes of Chani. What I also like about this trailer is that we get a lot of visual moments to represent the jihad. Now, the jihad is something that Paul sees, he foresees it in the Dune book pretty early on, like this terrible purpose that something very bad is gonna happen.

If he goes into the desert and chills with the Frimen, and eventually, by by the time he really, really sees what's gonna happen, it's basically too late. There's no way for him to really stop it. There's going to be a jihad in his name, the Frimin spreading across the galaxy. And I really like that you do see this.

And by the time that it really gets going, it's beyond the Frimin, it's beyond Paul. There's countless people killing in his name, worshipping him. I really like how this trailer seems to show a lot of that. Because the book Dune Messiah mainly skips over it all. We just hear about it in the backstory.

Dune Messiah just kind of opens, it's been like 12 years. Yes, a bunch of people have died throughout the Imperium, billions upon billions of people, but we never see that happening. And I think this movie is going to show a lot of that, and I'm really I really appreciate that. One shot that I really really like is this shot of the Frimen walking up to the ocean.

Because the Frimen have never seen this amount of water, they have never seen this is like a dream. This is like something out of a fantasy world for them. And I like how Stilgar here is just kind of like shook, he's kind of shook by the ocean. And in Dune Messiah, there is a story of uh a frimin seeing the ocean for the first time, and this particular Frimin is very disillusioned uh by the way things have gone.

I also think that seeing the ocean, while it's like this beautiful thing to them, it's also kind of this world-shaking existential thing to them, right? The Fremen are very set in their ways, they're very tied to Arrakis and the mysticism of that world and the sand and the worms. Now that they have left Arrakis, they've left the desert cradle, they can begin to see the universe for more of what it really is, and thus Paul for more of what he really is.

And this is a major theme in Dune Messiah, and later in Children of Dune, and particularly with Stilgar, because Paul goes from being a mystical god, the Lisa Nal Gaïb, the voice from the outer world, to something that resembles a man, and I think them seeing the ocean symbolizes a kind of new birth for the Fremen, a new awakening into a higher awareness, I guess.

But let's talk about the conspiracy now, because I am so interested. Now, look at this shot that I have pulled up. Right? On one side you have the guild, it looks, and the center you have the Telelaksu face dancer named Saital. Beside him, you have what appears to be the Reverend Mother Guy's Helen Mohaim.

Next to her, you've got some other members of the Benny Jesserit Sisterhood. And directly behind them is where there's a lot of debate happening in my own mind, right? It looks like a guild navigator, like it could be a fully formed guild navigator, and this is what his container looks like. And you can even see what appears to be swirling orange spice gas in the head part.

And that is semi-similar to this these kind of bulbous things that these other standing people are wearing. But if you look at some other clips, you also see something that looks similar to this container thing lying flat. This appears to be the scene where hate is being delivered. You can see Alia sitting on the throne, and here this container is not floating, which makes me think it could be a different container.

Because the navigator, one that looks more like a navigator with the orange spice stuff floating in its head, is floating. So why would they need to carry it here if it can just levitate and float? So this could very well be hate, while in the other scene we're actually seeing the navigator, Edric, in his container.

Let's talk about uh the regime change and what's going on here. So in Dune Messiah, there is a conspiracy, and this conspiracy, like in the trailer, involves the Tlelaxu. You got Sky Tell, Saitel, Saitel, Sky Tell, say it however you want it. Then you got the Benny Jesserit sisterhood, and then you've got the Princess Iron, who is maybe a conspirator, maybe not.

She's kind of back and forth, um, and that seems like what's gonna happen in the movie, too. And then, of course, you've got the guild, and this book opens up with them all meeting on Wallach Nine, which I think that's probably this scene here where it's kind of dark. I think this is probably that opening scene on Wallach 9, where they're meeting and they're discussing how they intend to undo Paul Atreides.

Why do they want to undo Paul Atreides? Well, it's a very simple reason, right? They had a balance going before you had the guild, right? They had a monopoly on space travel, they're rolling in dough, you can't travel anywhere without the guild. Now, Paul Atreides, through his control of the spice, has put the guild on a little little leash, and they really don't like that.

And as far as the Benijesseret goes, it's the same deal. The Vinnie Gesserit have secretly been manipulating the politics and bloodlines of the Empire for countless generations, and now Paul has taken over and essentially stolen their precious genes in their eyes. To them, the genes that are inside of Alia, the genes that are inside of Paul are theirs to control, and they want to gain to regain control over that bloodline, and they'll basically do anything to get it.

And then the Tlelaxu, the dirty dirty Tlelaxu, they've got their own motivations for things that are kind of less related to politics. It's more about influence and just kind of like kind of messing stuff up. They're just they're just kind of like sneaky guys. But truly what they would hope is that Paul would become dependent on their technology, and that through their biotechnology they could gain power and leverage and control in the Imperium.

And it seems that based on this trailer, um, this movie is having a similar theme to the one that Vilna focused on in Dune Part 1. When is a gift, not a gift? Right? So in the beginning of Dune Part 1, they are gifted the fiefdom of the planet Arrakis, and here in the beginning, Paul Atreides is being gifted uh a Tlelaxu Gola of Duncan, Idaho, named Hate.

And in the book, Paul even questions the name. They're like, why hate? And then they think something like, Well, there's no telling why the Telelaxu give the names that they give, what reasons. So obviously, I think the name hate, even though it's spelled H-A-Y-T, is meant to evoke the word hate. H-A-T-E.

And also, being from the Deep South, I'm from Georgia, uh, there's lots of little folklore things, and there is the word hate, and a hate is like a a restless spirit or a ghost that comes back, right? So I've always thought it kind of evoked a similar feeling to that word. But that's just me. But anyway, hate is both a gift and not a gift.

In the book, there's also another gift but not a gift character that Paul Atreides ends up possessing. Uh, his name is Bijaz, and he is a dwarf, but I don't think that Villeneuve is going to be including Bajaz. But maybe he will, I'd be shocked. Now, there's a couple things that I want to talk about in this trailer that might get a little bit spoilerific for some people, because there's a couple shots that I'm pretty sure that I know what I'm seeing, and I really want to talk about it with you guys that have read till the end of Dune Messiah, so that we can so that I can see if you guys are seeing the same thing that I'm seeing.

Right? So, I really enjoyed this trailer for those of you that don't want spoilers. Really good. I'm very excited for this movie. Visuals look incredible. Villeneuve and his direction is always incredible. Costumes look insane. These the sets in the backgrounds are look like some of the most incredible sets and backgrounds I've ever seen.

I'm really, really grateful for Villeneuve. I'm really, really grateful for him in the science fiction space for being able to make such epic movies. I cannot wait to see this. Now, let's move on to some things that I think. So, this scene here where we have Alia opening a door and she's all covered in blood, and then we see what appears to be the Reverend Mother Guy's Helen Mohayam, and then Alia looks really mad here.

I think I know what scene this is, but I think it'll be slightly different in the movie. So, at the end of Doom Messiah, when Paul is blinded, after everything happens and he walks into the desert. Alia is furious. Says in the book that she's furious, right? And Paul doesn't order anybody's death, but Alia orders the death of Edric.

Alia orders the death of the Reverend Mother Guys Helen Mohaim. And I think that what we're seeing here is Alia just got down with a rampage of blood. She just killed a bunch of people in the name of Paul, and now she's here to kill the Reverend Mother, Guys Helen Mohaim. And the Reverend Mother is just here to accept her death because she knows that she will she cannot stand against Alia.

Uh, she might she might try to fight back, but the Reverend Mother in all her might cannot stand against Alia, and I think this is her death moment, and I think that Alia is definitely going to kill her. Alright, moving on to the next thing. There looks like there is a scene where Chawny puts some thumpers into the ground, she summons a worm, and then the worm stops and she touches it.

This is very interesting to me because it's either a dream sequence or it's related to something that is inside of her, and if you know what I mean, you know what I mean. She's probably pregnant in this scene, and it's related to the fact that Late Till II is in there, which doesn't strictly follow the books, right?

Because Late Till the Second has his relationship to worms because of you know the transformation, because of the fact that he joined himself with the sand trout, saturated his flesh with spice, saturated his blood and his body with spice. But if we are going by the books, right, that means that at this point in time, Chani would have been on a diet of like extreme spice.

Because of her supposed infertility, which was really just being caused by the Princess Irulan, Chani was on a special diet that saturated her body with spice. And this is what caused the children to be pre-born in the first place. This is why Later II and Ganima awaken with the memories of their ancestors in the first place, was because of this diet.

So maybe because of the saturation of spice, that's why the worm stopped. Now, also, in late stage Doom, we get the character Shiana, who just kind of pops up out of the deserts of Arrakis. So, Shi'ana has the ability to control the desert worms. And in fact, there's I think this is in Heritage of Doom, the Bini Gesseret Sisterhood know of a prophecy of Shiana.

Apparently, she was predicted by Leto II. They say the sandwider predicted by Leto II had arrived at last, or something like that. That basically says that these genes were present on Arrakis. These these somehow maybe latent, or maybe they developed further by the time we got to Shiana, but like the idea of this special connection between the worms and the Frimin people is there in the book to some degree, but not specifically with Chani.

We don't get a specific scene like this. So I'm wondering what they're doing here, and I'm wondering what it means and if it's related to all of that stuff. Alright, so things I'm most excited for for this movie, I'm very excited for Anya Taylor Joy's portrayal of Alia. She just looks so ethereal and almost elven or like nymphish and volatile and deadly.

She just is absolutely the embodiment of Alia somehow. And I'm also excited for the depictions of the jihad, if that doesn't make me sound insane. Uh, you can see that one shot where it looks like Saint Alia of the Knife, and you can see all of these crucified people crucified in the name of Paul Letraides.

This is maybe even post-Jihad, because you know the jihad is kind of still happening, you know, like it's not just like over, like there's still people being killed in the name of Paul Letraides constantly. And this is after, you know, like they say, the destruction of thousands of world. And as Hate says in this trailer, that is kind of irredeemable.

Thousands of world, billions upon billions of human lives, snuffed out. In the name of a religion, essentially, but really in the name of power. I'm also really excited for Robert Pattinson as Sytell slash SkyTeam, because he just looks so interesting, he looks like he's really playing the part, and I'm really excited to see what it looks like when he changes his appearance, because he is a face dancer, and that is a big part of his role in this particular storyline, is that he spends most of the book looking like a different person.

So if they do that, then how much Robert Pattinson are we actually gonna see in this movie? Because I didn't actually think about that, right? Because he spends a huge portion of the storyline as a different person in the book. So I wonder how that's gonna be in the movie. I'm very curious about that.

So this trailer looks incredible. Again, extremely grateful to have Dune movies that are so well done. Um, extremely grateful to have adaptations that are respectful to the source material, but obviously make changes because all adaptations make changes. Uh, the greatest adaptations that you can possibly think of have changed significant things about the storyline to make it work better for a different medium.

Um, 2001, a space odyssey, the book was written at the same time as the movie, and there's some significant differences. Uh The Shining Stephen King is a completely different book from the movie, considered one of the greatest adaptations of all time. The Lord of the Rings trilogy? Well, Lord of the Rings book fans, you you step up, you know?

Obviously. The books are are have a totally different feel, in my opinion, from the Lord of the Rings movies. So I think it's very important to have like media literacy when it comes to adaptations. Like, you really need to go back and look at basically every adaptation of anything that's ever happened and see how that adaptation is changed and adapted for the times.

Right? You can look all the way back to a random example, like Snow White in the Seven Dwarves, the Disney movie from like the 1930s, is a different story from like the old Snow White stories, the old actual fairy tales, which are much more dark and grim. But they take it for the 1930s audience and they adapt it and they change it to fit the type of narrative that they want to fit, and that's always been the case.

It's the case with everything. But that doesn't mean that the adaptation isn't awesome and epic like this is. So two thumbs up. Really excited for the movie in December. Yeah. See you guys later. Peace out.
