00:00:00.000So let's talk about the latest remake of Dune. Back in 1984 was the first time that it was a film version of Frank Herbert's book. Was it a trilogy? I forget how many books was in the series. Dune, Frank Herbert, great story. David Lynch directed the 1984 version. Always loved the movie, always loved the film. Some incredible, you know, just sets and storylines and completely new things. I really enjoyed it.
00:00:25.880And so we rewatched or watched this one, the remake, I should say, just a few days ago here and wanted to talk about it. So of course, spoiler alerts ahead here because we are going to show some clips and we're going to talk about some of the general, you know, kind of themes in the first part. I think it's slated to be a three part series. They're beginning, beginning working on the second now. And I think they do that because they didn't know if it was going to be a success or not. So they didn't know if they're going to do part two. But apparently they've decided that within a few days of this being released.
00:00:54.480But yes, it is a didactic as it was a remake. In fact, we can even let's do this first. Let's watch the introduction to how they introduce us to the to the Dune universe and see if you can see if you notice any themes. We'll drill down into this and show some more clips after this, too. But this is how the whole thing begins. Take a look at this.
00:01:14.200My planet Arrakis is so beautiful when the sun is low.
00:01:21.260Rolling over the sands, you can see spice in the air.
00:01:39.160At nightfall, the spice harvesters land.
00:01:44.200The outsiders race against time to avoid the heat of the day.
00:01:57.880They ravage our lands in front of our eyes.
00:02:02.300Their cruelty to my people is all I've known.
00:02:05.240These outsiders, the Harkonnens, came long before I was born.
00:02:15.500By controlling spice production, they became obscenely rich.
00:08:34.540So, yes, they have done what they always do, which is to kind of, you know, rewrite, you know, things and put it in a modern didactic political perspective, essentially.
00:18:46.460Last clip we'll show is one of the – my favorite part of the 84 movie is the Navigators because they're just so weird and so bizarre and you've never seen anything like it before.
00:18:55.320They're the ones that have been consuming the spice, right, to be able to fold space so they can travel without moving and all that kind of cool stuff.
00:19:01.940And they're just introduced in the movie.
00:19:03.640They are zoomed into this huge – it looks like a train or something, like a black, just bullet, massive.
