This year's most anticipated movie "Dune 2" is finally going to be released! Today we're going to take a look at what you need to know before watching the movie.
"Dune 2" is the sequel to "Dune" directed by Villeneuve and 2021.
Dune is a story set on a desert planet called Arax, which is special in that it is the sole source of the most important energy spice in the universe.
Whoever masters the spice will control the universe.
Smoking spices not only prolongs life, but also strengthens intellectual and spiritual abilities, and even allows people to predict the future.
The Harkonnam family, under the authority of the Emperor, is responsible for mining the spices of this desert planet.
But our protagonist Paul's father, Duke Leto of House Atreides, has learned the secret of the Emperor's collusion with the barons of the Harkonnen family to secretly hoard spices through a long investigation.
Spices are such a big business, and the various families and forces of the entire Galactic Empire have shares, and we can think of the emperor as the majority shareholder, and the baron of the Harkonnam family is the manager responsible for collecting spices.
Now the majority shareholder and the general manager are hoarding spices without permission, which obviously affects the interests of other shareholders.
In addition, now that the Atreides family is becoming more and more powerful in the universe, and he has caught the handle of hoarding spices, the emperor and Baron Harkonnen began to conspire, planning to eradicate the Atreides family in one fell swoop!
The children of Duke Leto and Jessica of the Atreides family are our protagonists, Paul, played by Sweet Tea.
Mother Jessica is actually a member of the Sorority, Baron Harkonnen, and the child of the Sorority's Virgin Helen.
In other words, the male protagonist Paul is the grandson of the villain Baron Harkonnen.
Mother Jessica's sorority members have the ability to control the behavior of others through telekinesis, and they can also control the gender of the child they are carrying.
The sorority's tens of thousands of years of breeding program is their ultimate goal
The penultimate step in the breeding program is that Jessica and Duke Leto give birth to a daughter, this daughter marries the nephew of the Harkonnen family, they give birth to a son, and this child has all the memories of his ancestors, can exist in any time and space, he will sit on the throne to rule the empire, and most importantly, this chosen one is controlled by the Sisterhood!
But her mother, Jessica, betrayed the sorority and gave birth to a boy, Paul.
Although Jessica doesn't know if Paul is the chosen one, as a mother, she still teaches Paul everything she learned in her sorority.
Jessica's mother, the Virgin Helen of the Sisterhood, was very unhappy that Jessica had disobeyed the orders of the Sisterhood to give birth to a boy, so she subjected Paul to the terrifying Gom Thorn Trial, Paul successfully overcame the fear of the unknown, and the Virgin Helen accepted the boy in name.
In fact, the Virgin Helen is behind the plan to eradicate the Atreides family in one fell swoop**.
As the emperor's mantra, it was the Virgin Helen who secretly promoted the union of the emperor and the barons of the Harkonnen family, and according to their plan, the emperor ordered the Harkonnen family to withdraw from the desert planet Arax, and then let the Atreides family relocate here, with full responsibility for spice mining.
However, it was the trade-off of the Virgin Helen that demanded that the lives of the male protagonist Paul and his mother Jessica be left in the attack.
The Duke of Leto of the Atreides family knew that this was a conspiracy between the Emperor and the Harkonnen family at the moment of receiving the appointment, but Duke Leto actually had no choice, he knew that an unprecedented crisis was coming, so he held a war readiness meeting on the first day of his family's relocation to the desert planet Arax.
The Atreides family has several crucial roles:
The first is Duke Leto's retainer, Duncan, a master swordsman played by Aquaman Jason Momoa.
There are 20 million indigenous people on this desert planet: the Freemen, who are considered backward barbarians by the Empire, but they are actually a very tenacious people, they can not only survive in such extremely harsh natural conditions as the desert planet, but also have extremely strong combat effectiveness.
Duke Leto felt that his family would have to unite the Freemen if they were to succeed in the battle that followed. So he asked Duncan to take a scout team to learn how to deal with the Freemen.
Later, on the way of Paul's mother and son's escape, Duncan blocked the escape passage by himself, and died honorably after fighting 19 pursuers, and then Duncan will be resurrected in another form.
Then there's Thanos Josh Brolin's ** master Bard Gunny.
Gonnie is Paul's ** teacher, in the Dune universe, soldiers will wear a kind of energy shield, this shield can block high-speed bullets, but can not block low-speed attacks, so it is very important to control the speed of the sword in hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons.
And there is an important premise that when the laser hits the energy shield, it will cause subatomic nuclear fusion.
After coming to the desert planet, it is important to continue mining spices.
But now they are faced with a large number of mining machines that have fallen into disrepair and workers are on strike, so Gonnie is tasked with solving this urgent task.
After the Atreides family was almost wiped out, Cornie thought Paul's mother, Jessica, was a mole, until years later Paul saw Cornnie again in a spice dealer's car.
This was followed by the Master Assassin Duffe, known as the humanoid computer Mentart.
More than 10,000 years ago, there was a Butler jihad in the Dune universe, when AI artificial intelligence was highly developed, and human beings relied heavily on artificial intelligence, but problems also appeared.
Artificial intelligence enslaved human beings from time to time, and then a woman named Butler gave birth to a child who was killed by a robot, so this incident served as the fuse directly triggered a two-century-long war, at the cost of billions of human lives, human beings barely defeated artificial intelligence, and then the human world banned anything about artificial intelligence, and at the same time the enhanced human beings evolved.
Among them, Mentatl has extremely fast cognitive and analytical abilities, and is good at analyzing the enemy and giving advice to the big family.
After arriving on the desert planet, Duke Leto sent someone to Dufiga and put him in charge of security.
Finally, there is Dr. Yue played by Zhang Zhen.
Doctors are very important to the big family, after all, as the personal doctor of the family, in addition to treating diseases and saving people, it is easy to poison something.
And in the Dune universe, doctors who graduated from Suker Medical College will be pre-treated by the empire, and once they are marked with a diamond mark, it means that they will never betray, so even if they suspect Paul's mother, Lady Jessica, when eliminating the enemy's internal response, they will not suspect Dr. Yue.
But the reality is that this is not absolute, and the baron of the Harkonnen family has captured Dr. Yue's wife and threatened him to let him assist him in his sneak attack as an internal agent.
That night, Dr. Yue shut down the entire defense system, gave the Duke Leto sleeping pills, and waited for the arrival of Baron Harkonnen's army.
He couldn't help himself for his wife, Dr. Yue, but he did at least one thing right, and that was to put a denture with a poisonous spray in the mouth of the seriously injured Duke Leto, giving him the opportunity to assassinate Baron Harkonan before he died.
However, the result was that Duke Leto poisoned Baron Harkonnen's Montaert actuary, and Baron Harkonnen escaped, but the sudden disappearance of his actuary also disrupted Baron Harkonnen's original plan.
In Baron Harkonnen's plan, after retaking the desert planet, he will let the actuary take over.
Let him become the substitute ghost of the Harkonnen family's high-pressure rule on the desert planet, and wait for him to be replaced, and then let his ** nephew Fiderosa appear!
In the Sorority breeding program, Duke Leto and Jessica give birth to a girl who will marry Fiderosa, and then they will give birth to the chosen one.
Now that there is no actuary, Baron Harkonnen can only hand over the responsibility of ruling the desert planet to another nephew, the beast Laban, and then the entire planet will be messed up by Laban, which also lays the groundwork for the rise of our male protagonist Paul in the future!
While Paul and his mother Jessica are on the run, Paul comes into contact with the legendary spice.
And spices also stimulate Paul's potential, Paul has the ability to see the future, although he used to see clips of the future in his sleep, but now he is completely different, he predicts the re-emergence of the Atreides family under his leadership, and even predicts that his mother Jessica is still in the womb of his sister in the embryonic state.
Eventually, Paul and his mother, Jessica, meet the Freemen led by Stilg in the desert, and meet Cheney, the girl who often appears in Paul's dreams.
Paul became a member of the Freemen and changed his name to Muadib, while Lady Jessica became the Madonna of the Freemen!
Although Paul has been trying to prevent the foreseen holy war, but the wheel of history is rolling forward, Paul can't stop anything, and finally Paul led the Freemen to launch a surprise attack, blasted the mountain with atomic **, rode a sandworm to attack, and wiped out the emperor's army, as for Baron Harkonnen, he was killed by Paul's sister Eria in the original book, the emperor was forced to negotiate, Paul completed the prince's revenge, through a political marriage, Paul married the princess and finally sat on the throne!
