Yeah, the 80s version took a lot of liberties, most of which didn’t work out. The ending specifically.
But I still like the visuals and the music and the actors more than the new movies. Yeah, I know the new ones have crazy CG visuals, but the set designs from the 80s version were just more…unique in my opinion. That made the world feel more interesting. And I liked the 80s Baron way more than the new Baron, despite really respecting Stellan Skarsgard. Kenneth McMillan played a really psychotic Baron.
As a Dune lover, I have a soft spot for the 1980s version. The thing I tell people before watching is, “this isn’t Dune, this is a fever dream David Lynch had about the idea of Dune.”
I mean, how was it different in the movie? As I recall it was still a vocal thing. They could have done a better job explaining where it came from but I don’t remember it being egregiously different.
Like I said, I don’t really remember instances in the movie of the voice being used in a way inconsistent with that description. I’m not arguing, I’m asking for examples to jog my memory.
Dune.
Turning the Bene Gesserit power of Voice into some weird gun was fucking stupid.

and the rain at the end
Ugh yeah
I assume you mean the 1984 version?
Yes.
Don’t actually remember that scene, refresh my memory please?
In the book, the power of voice was him singing.

Voice is not a weapon like a gun or knife. Voice commands people. It’s like speed hypnosis/mind control achieved through voice manipulation.

Oh, the confusion might be from there being at least 3 different versions of Dune in cinema. I am talking about the first adaptation from 1984.
Ah ok. That’s the only version I haven’t seen, hence my confusion.
