[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked the first one a lot. I wish they had kept in a little bit more about how the atreides knew they were likely walking into a trap but had to do it anyway. There is also a dinner scene in the book where the complicated politics of arrakis are laid out.

I don’t think the movie necessarily suffers for not having them, but I think it could’ve  added to the richness of the film[/quote]

I didn’t read the book. What happens in this scene?[/quote]

It's a book reader favorite where the Atreides hold a banquet to get a feel for the local power brokers. Paul figures out an imperial banker brought a beautiful woman to seduce and assassinate him. He then interrupts a toast to insult the banker causing the Atreides guards and Gurney to go into defense mode.

It's a fascinating read that doesn't translate well onto the screen. The entire dinner is everyone spying on each other, quietly observing others reactions, and puzzling out who best to use or support. Paul, Gurney, and Jessica all independently figure out the imperial banker is actually from the Harkonnen planet by noticing different, very subtle things that are explained in the book. People wouldn't really want to spend 30 minutes of the movie watching people talk but not hearing the thought processes and silent epiphanies going on.[/quote]
