Dune (1984)	comment	FATHER, THE DESCRIPTION OF DUNE HERE HAS AWAKENED!Dune is the 1984 feature film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel Dune, directed by David Lynch. The film is famous for its unique visual style, obtuse plot and very Troubled Production.Set in the distant future, the film chronicles the conflict between rival noble families as they battle for control of the extremely harsh desert planet Arrakis, also known as "Dune". The planet is the only source of a drug known as "the spice", which allows prescience and is vital to space travel, making it the most essential and valuable commodity in the universe. Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan, in his film debut) is the scion and heir of a powerful noble family, whose inheritance of control over Arrakis brings them into conflict with its former overlords, House Harkonnen.The film adaptation of Dune was originally given to the experimental filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky, who planned to very loosely adapt the book while basing most of the film on a dream he'd had. He recruited a rogue's gallery of names for his project, including comic artist MÅ“bius, H. R. Giger, Pink Floyd, Salvador DalÃ and Orson Wellesnote One of the most notable fallouts from this assemblage is that writer Dan O'Bannon and HR Giger met on this production, and O'Bannon brought some of Giger's work to show the director of the next project he was involved in. Unfortunately, he burned through his budget before filming a single scene, and the project was ultimately taken away from him. A feature-length documentary titled Jodorowsky's Dune chronicles this project of epic proportions that went nowhere. Jodorowsky later recycled many of his ideas in his epic graphic novel series The Saga of the Metabarons.Producer Dino De Laurentiis handed the film to Lynch, another experimental director who was a hot prospect at the time due to his cult classic debut film Eraserhead and the critically lauded The Elephant Man. Lynch scrapped most of Jodorowsky's plans and made a film much closer to the book, although still guided by his own unique vision. Lynch's completed work is memorable (and notorious) for its Freudian imagery, elaborate costumes and set designs (containing several holdovers from the Jodorowsky version, including some of Giger's designs), and All-Star Cast, which in addition to MacLachlan features Patrick Stewart, JosÃ© Ferrer, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Sean Young, JÃ¼rgen Prochnow, Virginia Madsen, Sting, SiÃ¢n Phillips, Linda Hunt, and Max von Sydow, among others.Due to Lynch's alien style and the sheer scale of the book, the already-complex narrative became nearly incomprehensible to some viewers; many theaters handed out printed plot summaries to patrons. An altered cut with more exposition to explain the plot was made for television, which ran at almost four hours (with commercials). Incensed at the Executive Meddling, Lynch had his director credit for this extended cut changed to Alan Smithee and his screenwriting credit changed to Judas Booth (as in John Wilkes). Subsequent recut and extended versions have inspired varying degrees of critical reappraisal. It was a complete flop at the box office, but it has become a genuine Cult Classic since.For the other live-action adaptations of Dune, see Frank Herbert's Dune and Dune: Part One-Dune: Part Two.

Dune (1984) / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: In the novel, Emperor Shaddam was in his sixties, but looked no older than 35 thanks to the Spice and still had all of his hair red. In the film, he's played by JosÃ© Ferrer, who was in his seventies and obviously looked just as old, and a line of dialogue implies he's much older here than the original, with the Spice having kept him alive for over 200 years (a life expectancy that, with the exception of the Bene Gesserit's secret methods, wouldn't be achieved in the universe of the novels until the times of Miles Teg).

Dune (1984) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Lady Jessica's hairstyle is a Freudian wonder. The Guild Navigator (portrayed in true Lynchian fashion as a giant floating Eraserhead) breathes through what can only be described as a mouth-vagina. Har har. Okay, fine, so the worms look like giant penises, alright? David Lynch apparently wanted to lampshade the joke before we do; the rhythmic pounding of Shai Halud against the vertical slot of a cave is hard to misinterpret. As noted above, Baron Harkonnen is coded as a depraved, monstrous homosexual, and is the only character to have massive lesions and boils on his face. Because of this, film scholar Robin Wood called this "the most obscenely homophobic film I have ever seen," and goes on to say that this portrayal succeeds in "managing to associate with homosexuality in a single scene physical grossness, moral depravity, violence and disease."

Dune (1984) / int_23473ae7	comment	Adaptation Expansion: This film introduced many elements that weren't in the original novel. The quickest example to come to mind is the Mentat Mantra, "It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion," which sounds similar enough to the Litany Against Fear that it feels like a line from the book, despite it is actually original to the film. Also, the Atreides research into sound-based weaponry is absent from the novel, while heart-plugs, only briefly mentioned in the book as some sort of filtration device, are turned into something entirely more sinister by the Harkonnen. Finally, the Baron Harkonnen's skin conditions never were mentioned in the books either. Those and other choices went to influence later works in the Dune universe, to the point many people ignore they in fact originated in this film. The movie also includes scenes of places and events that in the novel were unseen or entirely offscreen. For instance, the creepy visage of Giedi Prime is shown while Piter goes to his meeting with the Baron, which in the book only showed the latter's office, and the talks between the Emperor, Mohiam and Edric are also witnessed by the viewer. Thufir's poison process is also shown, and it's much worse than imagined.

Dune (1984) / int_538273bd	comment	Adaptational Superpower Change: The film makes the Bene Gesserit telepaths, therefore implying that other skills like the Voice and the Weirding Way are also psychic in nature. In the novels, meanwhile, the mentioned two abilities were supposed to come out of just a very advanced understanding of logic, psychology, spatial perception, body language, mnemonics, and linguistics. The literary Bene Gesserit could still be considered psychics, as they can transmit mentally their genetic memories and are users of the prescience granted by the Spice, but those powers aren't even exclusive to their sisterhood in the Dune universe. The film also introduces other psychic powers like Telepathy, Mind over Matter and Weather Manipulation, which are used by the Kwisatz Haderach and his sister. In the original books, there were no such powers to begin with; telepathy was known to humanity as a concept (named "T-P"), but it was apparently yet to discover and master, while telekinesis was never even mentioned (though it was later introduced with the controversial 2001 prequel Dune: The Butlerian Jihad, which also featured telepathy - and it has been speculated that this very film might have inspired the novel's authors to do so). It also introduces a superpower, used by the Guild Navigators and produced by the Spice, that allows them to personally fold space.

In fact, this is a scene from the novel but all prior exposition about atomics have been cut (the ones used in the scene belonged to House Atreides). The loss of Thufir Hawat's death scene from the theatrical version ends up robbing the duel between Paul and Feyd-Rautha of any real context. With the death scene, it makes perfect sense that Paul would want to kill Feyd-Rautha in retailiation for his underhanded attempt to assassinate Paul using Thufir, who was instead Driven to Suicide. Without the scene, however it ends up looking like Paul challenges Feyd-Rautha to a duel simply because there aren't any other high-ranking Harkonnens left for him to kill, due to the Baron and Rabban having already been killed by Alia and the Emperor respectively. Liet-Kynes' fate, at least in the theatrical version. The movie keeps the scene where the Harkonnens capture him and decide to leave him die of exposure in the desert. But since the movie doesn't contain the scene where he helped Paul and Jessica to flee from the Harkonnens, this punishment loses its justification and just make the Harkonnens look even more like genocidal maniacs.

The consequences of the deluge to vital spice production are not covered in the movie: the rain is presented as a Good Thing.

Dune (1984) / int_6d332aea	comment	The loss of Thufir Hawat's death scene from the theatrical version ends up robbing the duel between Paul and Feyd-Rautha of any real context. With the death scene, it makes perfect sense that Paul would want to kill Feyd-Rautha in retailiation for his underhanded attempt to assassinate Paul using Thufir, who was instead Driven to Suicide. Without the scene, however it ends up looking like Paul challenges Feyd-Rautha to a duel simply because there aren't any other high-ranking Harkonnens left for him to kill, due to the Baron and Rabban having already been killed by Alia and the Emperor respectively.

Dune (1984) / int_736d791f	comment	Adaptational Badass: The Bene Gesserit of the film are explicitly telepathic, and the Emperor even requires Mohiam to watch over his conversation with Edric from another room by this method (although it seems only very powerful and experimented Bene Gesserit have it - Jessica, for instance, does not). In the books, the Bene Gesserit don't have any practical telepathy, only a mental contact they can use to pass their ego/memories among them by touching foreheads (though again, Alia does have a variation of this that works as more conventional thought-transmission). Like Paul, the film version of Alia is capable of using telekinesis, making the Baron spin in the air by spinning her own finger before sending him flying through a hole in the ship's hull. The film version of the Sardaukar seems to have Super-Strength, as one of them can be seen shrugging off several opponents at once with his arms, while in the novels the Sardaukar were regular humans subjected to a very harsh training yet without any explicit superhuman attribute. In the books, the Guild Navigators consume spice so when the Holtzman Drive activates and folds space, their limited precognition allows them to steer. In the film, the spice consumption allows them to fold space itself without the need for the Holtzman Drive, just firing a ray of some kind from their mutated mouths. Emperor Shaddam IV himself is turned into a fighter in this film, as he personally mans one of his selamlik's turrets (it doesn't have any weapons in the novel) and participates in the final battle through it, while in the novel he has to be protected and carried away by his guards. This also makes a move on Rank Scales with Asskicking, implying that, even if the Emperor loses the battle, he's still a trained military man and not just a lazy despot.

Dune (1984) / int_aea164f3	comment	Playing with Syringes: House Harkonnen's minions are all fitted with "heart plugs"â€”a plug which, when opened, would empty the blood from the heart itself resulting in the victim bleeding to death. There was also a creepy scene with other minions who had their eyes and ears sewn shut. The surgical procedures that resulted in these things were not seen, but one can imagine they were horrific and certainly not voluntary.

Dune (1984) / int_aed65980	comment	All for Nothing: Yueh betrays House Atreides in an attempt to get back a wife he knows is likely dead, with his only comfort that maybe he can kill the Baron on the way out. Instead Yueh gets shanked by Piter and his poison gas trap on the Duke is wasted on Piter when the drugged Duke hallucinates him as the Baron. He ultimately accomplished nothing. Although he did stash stillsuits and Weirding module blueprints onto the Harkonnen ship that was standing by to drop Paul and Jessica in the desert to die, ultimately saving their lives, permitting the rest of the plot to unfold, and kind of redeeming himself. Then again, how could he have known that was the Harkonnen plan if Piter only told Nefud to do it minutes beforehand? Or which ship would be used? Or that they wouldn't already be dead when loaded up? Or...

Dune (1984) / int_b23e7ba9	comment	Real Is Brown: One aspect of the film that has regularly been criticized is its rather ugly art direction. Virtually every world other than Arrakis looks gloomy and overcast, which arguably makes sense in the case of Giedi Prime but not so much for the other planets. As for Arrakis itself, the landscape tends to be dominated by dust and smoke, which doesn't exactly convey the kind of grandeur that the filmmakers were aiming for. This was one of Roger Ebert's biggest complaints about the film.

In the Villeneuve version, Alia isn't born yet and Paul/Muad'Dib himself kills the Baron.

Downplayed with Duncan Idaho. Idaho was more of a major character in Dune's sequels rather than in the original novel but even with that his role in the film is reduced from the novel. Idaho originally was House Atreides's connection to the Fremen having saved Stilgar's life and later he saves Jessica and Paul in the desert after their escape. In the film Idaho never meets Stilgar and dies much earlier at the battle at the Duke's compound; being the first of the major Atreides retainers to die.

Dune (1984) / int_c3ae004a	comment	Re-Cut: In addition to the Theatrical Cut, a few years later, a made-for-TV version, containing a prologue sequence and many deleted and extended scenes was created. Originally meant to air in two parts, it was disowned by Lynch, who goes by pseudonyms in its directing and writing credits. It was eventually released on DVD (as a nearly three-hour film with the recap linking the two parts removed) as an 'Extended Edition.' Fandom insists there is a cut closer to Lynch's first cut of the film that runs at around four to five hours. Frank Herbert's son Brian said in an interview in 2003 his father had seen a 'five-hour' version (likely the very first assembly cut), but no longer version than the TV cut has been officially verified. Author Frank Herbert actually provides the narration of the prologue sequence in the TV cut, rather than Virginia Madsen as Princess Irulan. The extended cut has yet to appear in HD in the States, but it has been released on Blu-Ray both in Germany and in Japan.

In the novels, meanwhile, the mentioned two abilities were supposed to come out of just a very advanced understanding of logic, psychology, spatial perception, body language, mnemonics, and linguistics. The literary Bene Gesserit could still be considered psychics, as they can transmit mentally their genetic memories and are users of the prescience granted by the Spice, but those powers aren't even exclusive to their sisterhood in the Dune universe.

Dune (1984) / int_d500b978	comment	Adaptational Wimp: The Sardaukar in the book is a widely feared elite army of soldiers trained in a variety of weapons. Though their their waning abilities are a plot point, they prove to still be dangerous enemies to the Fremen. In the film, they are more akin to Elite Mooks and their ferocity in melee combat is toned down significantly, even although they seem to be superhumanly strong in this version. The quantity of their forces is also tweaked with it taking five legions to do what only two were needed to do in the book (crush the Atreides men). The climax pits the Fremen against five legions in the book leading to a costly victory whereas the movie pits them against fifty legions in a Curb-Stomp Battle. The Fremen never learn to use the book's Weirding Way here. Instead, they receive sonic weapons called "Weirding Modules"note The change was made because director David Lynch felt that following the book would have resulted in a silly-looking "kung fu in the desert" look. Both in the novel and the movie, the Emperor is revealed to have been arm-twisted by the Guild all the time, but the movie portrays him as more undignified and weak-willed, being verbally lashed by the messengers and even threatened to his very face - things that the Emperor from the book, who was arrogant to the end, would have hardly allowed.

Dune (1984) / int_de143e97	comment	Psychic Nosebleed: There's a scene in which several Bene Gesserit cry blood when Paul drinks the Water of Life. Although the movie doesn't make it clear, those who read the books will know that all of them are his relatives, and the identity of two of them makes guessing the significance of the third reasonably easy.

Dune (1984) / int_dfa71e43	comment	Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Padishah Emperor Shaddam Corino IV whose plans fail at every turn and who spends every scene on camera being bossed around by the Spacing Guild. You find yourself wondering why he doesn't tell them to watch their fucking mouths. (It's only alluded to in the film, but since the guild holds the monopoly on space travel that makes his Empire possible, even the Emperor can't afford to piss them off.)

Dune (1984) / int_e4965307	comment	Composite Character: In the novel, although both the Baron and Piter were cunning, evil masterminds, the Baron was the calm, cerebral, long-suffering one and Piter was the giggling maniac. The film gives the Baron Piter's craziness and turns Piter into something of a quiet (if still eccentric) Servile Snarker.

Dune (1984) / int_e540d1e6	comment	Camp: Susan Sontag describes the idea of campiness as an emergent phenomenon that comes from a piece of art or media that takes itself seriously but fails on some level to sell that seriousness, which is what makes it good. For all the problems this movie has, it has amassed a cult following for a reason. It's over-the-top aesthetic might not be successful, but it's sure as hell entertaining, all because of how much it commits to what it's trying to do.

Funnily enough, the Fremen (had they been present) would have considered that a compliment.

Dune (1984) / int_e63228a7	comment	Info Dump: The film opens with Irulan explaining the basic setup of the Dune universe directly to the audience, then the credits roll, then we're privy to "a secret report within the Guild" which details the four planets important to the story and there's a plot that might conflict with their interests, then this leads to a scene where a Guild navigator visits the Emperor to get the details on this plot, so the Emperor can explain to the Guild (and the audience) the political intrigues around which the story is based, then we pick up Paul studying the history of his Houses' feud with House Harkonnen and and the nature of Arrakis, which he'll soon be moving to. The first fifteen minutes are essentially an extended series of infodumps, bombarding the audience with exposition they have no context for yet.

In the film, she stabs him and rips out his heart plugs, before he goes flying out of a hole that had been blasted in the palace wall, leading to him being Swallowed Whole by a sandworm.

In the film, it instead refers to a weapon that is activated by shouting his name, making Paul's line literal instead of symbolic.
