As per an interview with The New York Times, Villeneuve reveals the meaning behind Dune’s opening line, “Dreams are messages from the deep.” The director was asked why he chose to open the franchise with “an anonymous Sardaukar from the murderous imperial army.” According to Villeneuve, he started in this way in order to give the audience the sense that the Sardauker “are not just tremendous warriors, but they have spirituality, philosophical thought.
How Dune’s Opening Line Well Establishes the Franchise Close From Villenueve’s quote, three purposes can be gleaned from Dune’s opening line. First, Villeneuve inserted it to take “absolute freedom with this adaptation,” establishing the Dune franchise as his own work. Second, he began with a “dark side of the Fremen,” that shows a nuanced version of a lurking evil. Third, the “spirituality” and “philosophical thought” that he wishes to convey is one focused on dreams and their power.
The theme of dreams is also central to Paul’s character in Dune. The protagonist experiences premonition-like dreams that predict detailed versions of future events. In the first film, he sees Chani in these dreams, who becomes central to the second movie. In Dune: Part Two, he envisions Anya Taylor-Joy’s Alia Atreides, who will become his sister in the second movie. Thus, beginning with a reflection on dreams helps lay the groundwork for this ongoing thread.
