  I'm putting in a formal request here: If Denis Villeneuve could do this breakdown for the ENTIRE movie I'm sure we would all watch it. What an absolute masterclass in filmmaking.

  Denis is so humble and self aware. Just saw the movie. It's not a movie, it's a universe that envelopes you. Incredible achievement.

  The fact that he read Dune when he was 14 and now he directed the movie version as an adult....that's a dream come true.

  I love his mentality of not necessarily making a movie that Frank Herbert would love. But a movie that would show Herbert how much Denis loved the book.

  The trippiest thing about this movie to me is the notion that I’m seeing a culture that is incredibly ancient, but also infinitely advanced beyond my wildest imagination. Like ancient Egypt among the stars. Absolute masterpiece.

  I could watch a 20 hour version of this, of Denis, going through the entire movie scene by scene. He is truly a gift and what he did with part 1 was simply amazing. So good!

  I love how much credit he gives to every crew member involved, he has such a humble attitude about himself

  If Denis maintains this level of quality for part 2, it's going to be EPIC. If he stays faithful to the source material, and completes the trilogy, it will be a cult classic for the next 50 years.

  "Dune is about the triumph of the human spirit." This guy gets it.

  I love how Denis takes the time to give credits to each role like art directors, cinematography and editing, is important to remember people that movies are a team effort and the director is not the person doing everything
