    21 "Dune: Part Two" Details That Are Small, Amazing, And Prove It's One Of The Best Movies. Period.

    Gurney Halleck playing a nine-stringed guitar in his first scene in Dune: Part Two is a nod to his character from Frank Herbert's original book.

    🚨 There are MASSIVE spoilers ahead for Dune, Dune: Part Two, and Frank Herbert's Dune. 🚨

    1. First, in Dune: Part Two, Chani can be seen using a piece of blue fabric as a headband, notably in the scene when Paul rides the sandworm for the first time. In the book, The Art and Soul of Dune: Part Two, director and writer Denis Villeneuve explained that "when Fremen women fall in love, they wear blue in the film."

    The colored fabric provides a great contrast to the "monochromatic world" of Arrakis.

    2. In Dune, when Paul meets Reverend Mother Mohiam she uses the voice on him to declare that he should be silent when he has his hand in the box. In Dune: Part Two, there's a great parallel where Paul now does this exact thing to her before he fights Feyd-Rautha.

    3. Dune: Part Two is the first time we see Giedi Prime, aka the home of the Harkonnens, in the daytime, after only seeing it at night in the first movie. The black sun is the reason the sequence where Feyd-Rautha fights the Atreides prisoners is filmed in black and white.
