Applied amazement strikes the viewer of the film ’’Dune‘‘ with its second part from the very first moment, holding their breath. A high and distinguished degree of cinematographic mastery that captivates the eyes, achieving the Canadian filmmaker Denis Villeneuve's longstanding wish to give Herbert's novel a popularity on the silver screen comparable to the fame the novel achieved in 1965 of the last century.

The story of the film ’’Dune‘‘ is inspired by the science fiction novel of the same name by the late American novelist Frank Herbert. The novel was published in 6 parts in the mid-1960s of the last century and was the best-selling of all time. The novel prominently addresses the eternal human struggle for survival and the impact of concepts and teachings on human life throughout history.

It is noted that the novel is pure science fiction, but it draws inspiration from the issues suffered by the indigenous peoples of North America for a long time.

To give his novel a historical, civilizational, and cultural dimension, the author relied on his experiences and drew inspiration from many cultures, especially from the cultures of the First Nations in North America.

Amazing success at the box office
The film ’’Dune, Part Two‘‘, with its stunning cinematography that captivates the eyes, achieved great success at the box office in North America since its release on the first Friday of March. The production company said the film made $81.5 million in the first three days of its release in North America, according to early estimates.

Globally, the film made $97 million, bringing its total revenue in the early days to $178.5 million.

It is noteworthy that during the first two months of the year, the revenue of no film exceeded $100 million in the United States and Canada.

The production expenses of the film (Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures) exceeded $122 million, an initial budget allocated, and the final costs of the film reached about $190 million.

In cinematographic technology, Denis Villeneuve chose to use advanced IMAX cameras and scenes were filmed using digital technology. This technology allowed unprecedented filming of the desert dune world in both Jordan and Abu Dhabi, where most of the film scenes were shot.

’’Dune‘‘ in its second part is a cinematic epic lasting two hours and forty-five minutes starring the famous French-American actor Timothy Chalamet portraying the legendary hero Paul Atreides, along with actors Austin Butler (United States), Rebecca Ferguson (Sweden), Zendaya (United States), Josh Brolin (United States), and others.

From the very beginning, the film immediately immerses you in a space world thousands of years in the future, with a battle scene fought in the desert with all modern technological effects. Villeneuve and his team created some of the most stunning and sometimes terrifying images ever seen on the silver screen, with huge explosions, flying ships, giant worms, and fierce warriors amidst the sands of the Jordanian desert, clearly distinguishable in most scenes of the film.

Clear influence of the First Nations' culture on Frank Herbert
The second part of ’’Dune‘‘ continues what happened in the first part, which focused on the story of Paul Atreides (Timothy Chalamet), the bright and talented young man, who was born to face a greater destiny, where he must reach the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and people.

Forces of evil fight for exclusive possession of the most valuable resource on that planet, a kind of spice capable of unleashing the superhuman potentials of the human mind.

The events continue in an attempt to control the desert planet Arrakis.

The conflict develops after Paul Atreides joins the Fremen people who inhabit the desert, and it is his responsibility to balance his role as a leader, lover, and savior, continuing a difficult journey in the desert in his struggle to win leadership.

It is noteworthy that some Canadian academics found a similarity link between the Fremen people in the film's fictional events and the Quileutes and Hoh peoples of the First Nations, confirming that the American science fiction novelist was inspired by the experiences of indigenous peoples in North America.
