The books is based on the 80s movie tho
I really like how the book expanded the bare bones almost summary like quality of the film. Even created space for the sequels to the novelization.
realtalk tho what the fuck are they doin in the second movie with the changes they made that actually mattered, stilgar is a fanatic, chaney is jealous and petulant, they cut out 2 years and paul's first child, as well as the birth of his sister, very weird stuff
Stilgar is supposed to become a fanatic, it's a very impactful line in the book:
“In that instant, Paul saw how Stilgar had been transformed from the Fremen naib to a creature of the Lisan al-Gaib, a receptacle for awe and obedience. It was a lessening of the man, and Paul felt the ghost-wind of the jihad in it.”
I haven't seen the second movie (don't know that I will,) they just have him like that from the jump?
Yeah, it's one of the worst changes from the book - Stilgar is a believer from the beginning, and is even described by other Fremen as being kind of a religious fanatic who sees prophecy everywhere. It's an unfortunate change, as this was one of the most important themes in the book, the way that fanaticism debases people.
It's a bummer that Stilgar doesn't go on that journey in thia film, especially consider how much it beats us on the head that the prophecy is a cynical manipulation.
That's so lame, many of Paul's fever-dreams are agonizing over this exact thing, the transformative impact of the Jihad and seeing it ripple through culture and history. The other changes AOCapitulator mentioned are pretty bad/annoying, but I am really not a fan of this one.
This is an egregious difference. I understand artistic license and, okay, sure, you have to make some compromises when changing from one medium to another but this is just obscene.
Garamond Paul easily blows both of these away.
