Yeah, I mean, 99% of the movie is in an incredibly dry desert, with the blistering sun blazing down. I don't think at any point it gives off the impression like "nah you're fine for water". I get that the whole "tut tut Siona you've left your mask off for 20 minutes now you're definitely going to die of thirst" thing is more of it than just "The desert is dry", but I don't think it really adds all that much to be like "No you don't get it, they EXTRA care" unless you're going to do something with that, which in this film, they don't.

It‘s so incredibly hot and bright outside that the Non-Fremen can walk around at will without sunglasses, hats, sunscreen, stillsuits or any other kind of protection in broad daylight. I think as in many other movies, these things only get emphasized whenever it serves the plot because otherwise the movie would be unwatchable.

They are at the north pole, and all the outdoor scenes happen at sunrise or sunset. Also, if you look close, Arrakeen is a completely covered city.

If I were to choose one water-scarcity scene to include, it'd probably be the dew collectors reaping the morning flower fields and mulching them up. Leto's change in expression from "hey maybe Arrakis is pretty after all" to "oh god I hate this place" doesn't even require any extra dialogue.

The tent scene and the close up of the sand mouse also establish the water issue

Beginning to think David Lynch's decision to just hammer people with the background details is probably ahead of its time, given the modern audience's complete inability to loving pay attention to the drat movie.

sebmojo posted:I have to say that the Sci-Fi (now d/b/a Syfy) channel's three-part remake of Dune and even their sequel miniseries series Children of Dune were superior to this current remake, and that's with an understanding that Children of Dune was in no way good. From the first scene in this remake, it's boring, the actors don't appear convincing as their characters and there is little to draw the viewer in. Dialogue seems truncated from prior tellings of the story, leaving the viewer feeling disconnected from the characters and their struggles.

Did the Harkkonen servants have heart plugs in the remake? I didn't notice any. Really liked how they depicted the Baron. Though I did wonder - Baron promised not to kill Jessica. But isn't his roundabout way of dealing with her going to be super obvious to a bunch of psychic nun ladies? He's wary enough not to openly defy them, I feel like trying to rules lawyer your way through the problem won't work. Why didn't Jessica use the Voice when she was scared that Paul might die in a duel with that Fremen warrior?

I went to see it with my wife, who hasn't read the books. She thought the baron was a snake dude like jabba the hut or something because of the long rear end dress thing he wears when he first floats up.

I loved that scene, as he's rising he says something like "Arrakis is mine" and I immediately saw that scene as a trial for god emperor. I feel like knowledge of the books adds a lot of dark humor to the movie. It's weird and I chose to believe Denis did it for the meta-experience of our own foreknowledge being used to evoke feelings of prescience. Samuel L.

That makes sense. My assumption was she wanted the fight to be fair because she was so confident in Paul so there was no need to cheat.

Or how he floats to the traitor and it shows him in profile, his belly about to knock the guy over.

Yeah, it's a duel, outside interference is obviously cheating and the whole point is to win over the Fremen. Aristocrats are going to get how a duel works even if they don't fully get Fremen culture. Your family and friends don't get to chip in, it's single combat.

Paul is championing Jessica in the first place so no one will have to take on the opprobrium of fighting a weirding woman/Sayyadina. Be kind of rude for her to insert herself back into things.

I definitely got Leto II vibes off of that baron scene, so my wife thinking he was a snake dude tells me it was 100% intentional. I would have liked to see a short scene of Duncan's body being dragged off screen or something after his death. Or Raban mentioning they have his body to the baron.

I would have liked to see any check in with the Atreides retainers and the Harkonnens at the end. Duncan’s body is still sitting in a hallway somewhere, but Thufir and Gurney both just dropped out of existence pretty much.
