Dune 2021 SPOILERS

A list of some of my favorite aspects about the movie!

THE SOUNDTRACK

The voice of the bene gesserit.

Javier bardem as Stilgar omg. i couldn’t imagine a better choice. his accent, his intimidating presence which radiates both strength and commands respect; his performance was everything!

The constant close ups and shots of Leto’s father and the bull, as if he is a presence that has followed them all the way to Arrakis and haunts the very walls.

Paul’s fascination with Muad’dib, even before he sees one in the basin (the little mouse). The scene where it shows a close up of one? y’all, everyone in the theater unanimously let out a big “awe!” it was too cute lol

The Harkonnen ambush, the entire siege of Arrakis? amazing. the novel is one thing, but being able to see it in live action, brought to life, there was so much to take in. it brought back the betrayal of the emperor against house atreides, what that meant for the rest of the houses. i was in a rage. i was in tears, whispering “Atreides” along with Gurney as he ran into battle, with no armor 😭😭

Vladimir harkonnen. absolutely disgusting and terrifying. Nailed it. (I just find house harkonnen so interesting in the novel. loved and hated every second of the baron and rabban) though i was disappointed that there was no sneak peek/mention of FEYD fuckin RAUTHA

The costumes, the set design, the thopters, the change in Liet Kynes being a Mother instead of a father, (unless i missed something from the novel?) sharon duncan-brewster’s performance was awesome!

THE ENTIRE CAST. There’s just too much to applaud and praise!! what a fun adaptation. can’t wait for more and what they manage to bring to life!
