To add onto Baron Harkonnen being a luxury and sensation obsessed individual; the fact that he's spending most of his time on dune - a place where water is in absurdly short supply and desperately sought after - bathing and immersed in water only adds to the level of self indulgence, greed and cruelty. It's a display for him, a way of indulging in the ability to have things specifically in a manner that deprives others.

My favorite little thing about Dune lore is that the Bene Gesserit wanted Paul to be a woman specifically because they wanted to marry them to Feyd Rautha. The union between Feyd and Paul would be the Kwizats haderach. I've always liked the fact that they are antagonists when the course of destiny was for them to be husband and wife; it's a neat twist.

I've always thought that Irulan was inspired by the real Byzantine princess Anna Komnene, daughter of Emperor Alexios I Komnenos. She's famous for writing the Alexiad, detailing the events of court during her father's reign. Ties into the 'adventurer prince' aspect of Paul too, as he'd be similar to Bohemond in the Alexiad.

The most amazing part of the film for me, was that there wasnât ever a point while I was watching where I was taken out of the illusion or story for even a second, it was enthralling, suspenseful, amazingly produced and well acted, I constantly wanted more information but was NEVER confused about the story. I canât wait to see the second film.

Hands down the most excellent commentary channel on YouTube. None of your comparisons feel like a reach, the symbolism you recognize is always insightful, I have never once thought âthatâs probably not what the director/writer intendedâ or, worse, âwell, duh, thatâs not even subtextâ the way I constantly do when watching the bigger commentary or âEaster eggâ trailer breakdowns. So excited to watch your video once the movie comes out!

This Dune remake so far is not disappointing at all. Great take on a very difficult and complex book series. Denis Villeneuve interpretation, storytelling, insights on the technology and choice of visual effects, including lenses, lights and shadows is impressive. He has become one of my favorite directors.

Irulan did do extensive investigations in the books, and she was more than a minor character. Irulan didn't completely agree with her father, and had her own spies that she sent to gather information. And Paul meets Irulan on Arrakis, the emporor sends her there to gather inforamtion about the Attredies. Irulan was very fascinated with Paul in the book, and was a major player in palace intrigue.
