Video tribute to Frank Herbert and his epic novel "DUNE"

[auranit]

Ya Hya Chouhada!

[SVAFnemesis]

I kind of hope they'll make a serious movie on it, this story deserves to be widely spreaded

[MrKreyvic]

I enjoy all the books of Dune...the past and the present

The ultimate Sci-fi/fantasy novel, i adored these books since i was 12 in the early 90's and been a fan ever since. These books influenced many films like Star Wars, Avatar, Star Trek movies, Serenity, The Dark Crystal, The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Dark City, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds and more. Who agrees? i can't wait for the new 4-part big screen new movie which will do justice to the books.

[fmoa]

new novels are shit,i read thinking machine n battle of corrin,both arn't that good,me main problem is youll get lost wit too much jumping around from each character story plot to the next,youll av to go back n re-read some chapters about what happen to this character n that,please make the novels reader friendly like what you get in r.a salvatore drizzt novels n some star wars novels,anyways,replace the writer innit.

the spice must flow

Das Spice muss Fließen.

[OopeeShaba]

i've heard a lot of people bitch about the newer dune books. are they no good? i still want to read them, i loved saga of the seven suns

[PHATHCOX]

The books by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson are good reads. They give background information on the feud between Houses Harkonnen and Artreides, the spice trade and the original jihad against thinking machines which basically lead to humans increasing their skills not and relying on computers. The books were written from notes left behind by Frank Herbert so they did have his story elements in them. Most people, it seems, have a problem because FH didn't write them himself before he died.

[Urudrim]

they don't have the same depth. while frank herbert's novels had plot within plots, brian/anderson novels just say there are.

[StarSpawn06]

@OopeeShaba

I read Sandworms of Dune in a library. Very disappointing. Too many non-essential characters ( literally cloned from dead tissue ). No depth and subtlety at all. The ending involving the Oracle of Time is an overused fantasy cliche :/

It's not just due to writing skills. Frank Herbert delved into Sufi/ Zen spirituality, which is totally lacking in the non-classic books.

My suggestion: just read the summary, flip through the action and ignore every chapter set aboard the no-ship.

[Kirbywasfun]

I really like Brian Herbert, and Kevin Andersons versions. They dont compare to Frank Herberts masterpieces, but i feel that his sons books are like taking a break from the desert, philosophy and is written more like an adventure action story. I thought the last two books were quite gripping. The Butlerian Jihad was awsome. I guess all these negative commenters were expecting too much. I knew before i read them that it would not be as genius as Frank Herberts Dune. Its like an add on action

[PHATHCOX]

I agree no book written in the Dune universe could match those written by FH himself but Brian Herbert and KJ Anderson did a fine job with notes left behind by the master himself. I appreciated the background information the newer books provided. I thought it added something to the big picture. It's fun to read something that expands on the questions left behind in Dune, for example why are House Harkonnen and House Artreides feuding? Why don't people use artificial intelligence in Dune?

[CaptainFootos]

God created Arrakis to train the faithful!

[plotthoundnc]

I have read Dune three times and all of the follow up books and you must pay close attention to every word.Did Frank Herbert not spend some time in the middle east and could spice be crude oil and we are now in a power struggle for control of it ????

[Rohan2300]

the best fiction is still relevant decades on.

I think if you look in nearly any piece of really really good fiction, you'll be able to draw parallels with current events. even if the work was written hundreds of years ago.

[PHATHCOX]

plotthoundnc, I think the spice could represent any important limited resource mankind uses. Since there is a limited supply people will fight for control over it. Oil may be our spice today but as times change and something else takes its place eventually the spice could be whatever the new resource is as long as it's in limited supply or only available in certain places. An element that makes Frank Herbert's books timeless is that they can remain relevant through the years.

[angelparfait]

There is a planet very much like Arakis. But people can not live on the surface. They float their colonies in the upper atmosphere and send down miner ships. They have been slowly absorbing the Spice to evolve into beings that can live on the surface. And they discovered, they really can't. They become one with the Worm and their human selves live in alternate reality worlds within the worms. There are colonies of what we would call Freme and Bene Gesserit. I see this in visions...

[240ups]

this is ten times useless than a butterfly's fart

[dickfromdarlo]

Ive enjoyed all the books, expect Paul of Dune...man that was shit.

1:38 always gives me the far future fell, of the year 10,191.

[rotedrachen]

ALTER!!! THE MUSIC WRECKED IT!!!

[asnoman71]

The music is a big mismatch with theme of Dune series.

[BVargas78]

Dune was an awesome book. My favourite sci fi setting. I found Dune Messiah quite a chore to get to grips with though but i enjoyed the children of dune book.

[tiby2403]

I find Dunes Messiah do be a master piece, along with God Emperor of Dune.

[BVargas78]

havent got round to reading emperor yet, but i do own a copy. I might give Messiah another go, but it didnt flow as well as the first book. That said it was 10 years ago i read it and i may well prefer it second time round!

[tiby2403]

I think I read the entire series about 5 times. I first didnt prefer Messiah, but when i read it second time, it seemed more... political, more philosophical. You see the real MuadDib in Dunes Messiah.

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

i found the new series by Brian Herbert pretty horrible. The first three were interesting, the next three were awful, and the final three were unreadable

[tiby2403]

he made 9 books ?

thats horible in itself

what about ?... did he continue the original series, or did he make books about stuff in the Dune series ?

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

No, Frank made six books. The first three were works of art, the next three not so much(in my opinion) He died in 1987. His son and another author claimed to have found transcripts, story lines and alternative endings to his novels in his safe, or attic...and began to write a new series in 1999. They arent worth reading and are, again, my opinion, a bit exploitive and needlessly gross, some feel like they were written in a single day

[tiby2403]

i was refering to hiskid and the other guy when i asked if he made 9 books.

I like Franks 4th book in the series. gets a bit boring at one time...but the sheer amount of inteligence that Leto the 2nd has... just astonishes me. A lotof knowledge and thinking went into that book. I think more than in the others. but it doesnt matter. you like what you like, and i cant change that.

well, im glad i havent read those 9 books then... exploitive, definitly. didnt frank leave his kid an inheritance ?

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

sorry, i misread your original post.... I went out and bought God Emperor, and will give it another reading. Its been so long since i last read it, who knows what i will get out of it this time.

[EmperorofFatalism]

If you don't like the newer ones, then you shouldent like any of them.

[Johnlindsey289]

@PlanetoftheAtheists

The final three read like fanfiction don't you think?

[TagDaze]

I've read the first three about 7 times now. The latter three about 4 times. They're awesome. The art of reading Dune is that you always have to pay attention. Everything is important. There is no filler.

That said, the KJA/BH novels are abominations. Just look at the original idea for the Butlerian Jihad and then look what they made of it...

[jimmyb20032003]

I remember reading Dune as an 18 year old. The water of life always struck me as a derivative of weed. I believe that God-conciousness was speaking through him when he wrote this epic tale. We are one. Let the games begin! Enjoy the drama! Because that's what God wants to do!

[Kirbywasfun]

Weed? seriously? you have obviously never tried acid or shrooms. now thats an experience...

[AtticusStount]

I am reading Dune Messiah, having been blown away by the film (watched it on two seperate occasions within two days). Herbert's style is very hard to grapple initially, but his work is UTTERLY compelling.

[selsuru]

Great books I read all six.

[leemailme]

Nice tribute, but the sandworms are not native to Arrakis. The books never specify where they came from, but they do hint that Dune was a watery planet eons before the first book took place, which means the sandtrout must have been brought there.

[gaarq]

tsi mri as fremens :) how similar cultures of Cherry and Herbert.

fime video :)

[twominutepenalty]

just finished the first novel. . . absolutely brilliant. can't wait to start Dune Messiah.

[tiffanyburns101]

you have two decades to catch up on.... better get started

[twominutepenalty]

I know! Doesn't help that Brian and Kevin don't plan to stop writing more and more Dune Books. btw, halfway through Children of Dune right now.

[smulhern34]

Kevin and Brians' novels are pieces of shit that are poorly written and diverge from Frank's novels. They're basically just average shoot em up scifi books.

[PlanetoftheAtheists]

They wouldnt be worth shedding my crysknife over!

[Gatekeeper6561]

May thy knife chip and shatter.

[rayrianus]

Brian and Kevin have actually ended the story in book "Sandworm of Dune"(well,the story has ended and if they still write more......)

[cobchob]

does any1 know why there called fremen i do cuz the slaves escaped to dune and called themselves freemen witch i thout was totaly rad

[tiffanyburns101]

they are the Free men... hence.. Freman

[anforel]

excelent, great end, house atreides must enlist the fremen, thats about it!!!

[SAT9terminus]

MArvelous and original!

[ihatefatcryingppl]

"Truth suffers from too much analysis" ancient Fremen saying :Frank Herbert.

[rantamaki]

Awesome......... lost for words....

[MokomaSusi]

Well done.

[RFEM520]

frank herbert reminds you of robin williams in 0.04 -0.05 does he not?

[Camilo83]

Here's to Frank Herbert! And to Dune!

[iuliusdavid]

Excelent :)

[kelazun]

where are the ordos?

[Atreas40000]

the house ordos does not exist in the original Dune storyline, it was added only for the game.

[kelazun]

oh thank you then...

[Kirbywasfun]

Ordos are not in the Dune books, though they mostly resemble a mixture of CHOAM, smugglers, and Tialaxu. Ordos were created by Westwood to make the game more fun

[kelazun]

I said that over a year ago and got my ancwer.

[BLooDCoMPleX]

picture on the3:01 is the pictore fifth book of dune series "heretics of dune" other pictures are from movie Dune,game "Dune 2","Dune 2000",harkonnen sign is from game "Emperor Battle for Dune"i playes all i read all a watched all and it was perfect i recommend u to watc both versions of dune and read 1. 2. 3. 5. 6. books of dune 4. book wasnt good...

[solidus121212]

i actualy liked the fourth book, so many deep messages and talks of the future of mankind and how religion binds our minds and soul so that we no longer serve ourselves. The fourth book is definately the "thinker" of all the dune books, makes you think about and question government and religions of today

[michel1835]

I've been living in the Dune Universe since 1979 , the book contains a hidden message about the future , it's concepts are tested in every day life and come accomplished , but I think that his son , Brian herbert spoiled the whole thing , his books are a big failure , Dune of Frank Herbert is the Ultimate Book ( all the 6 ones )in scope

May he rest in peace , thank you

[markpacker]

His books were filled with so many races, cultures, and concepts. I wish they could be more detailed, though. That would be rad if someone made a movie based after the Benejeserit sisterhood rising up and saving mankind from the thinking machines.

[Chrysophalax]

Great tribute! I thought you might like mine too - "The Ballad Of Duncan Idaho". I hope you enjoy it!

[Scytale0facedancer]

g.o.a.t.

[Dunes]

Nice video,i'm almost done reading his final DUNE novel Chapterhouse and plan to read his other works. I also recommend this book he also wrote--THE SANTAROGA BARRIER,another really great classic he wrote.

[szaman2]

Frank Herbert was a genius. I read all of the Dune books cover to cover several times. :)

[garagealien]

Nice to see others giving praise to Frank Herbert.

[svirginiak]

I agree he is a great writer. Love his Dune books. Great tribute. Luv it.
