One shot of water of life later:

Paul wakes up the next morning with a hangover: "How the hell did I manage to mess everything up? It was supposed to be a fun night with friends. Dancing, some drinks and so on. Nothing big, just a good times with friends. But then I got that stupid idea to ride a sandworm and now we're at war with the entire universe...Well, luckily I have Chani at least. Where is she anyway?"

It's so funny because he keeps telling them to not bring him south because bad things will happen but they didn't believe him 💀

You mean being religious

Becomes religious instead

haahahha

It was to show she couldn’t see the “correct path”. She says to “slow down” but Paul can see he must push the Freeman hard here to make his future a reality.

I also view it as she’s attempting to use the voice subtlety to make him “slow down” (her tone sounds like it to me), but at this point Paul is top dog (Haven’t read the books so could be dead wrong haha)

"slow down." "1v1 me broskis."

Jessica: "Slow Down" Paul: "I got my DNA test back, turns out im 100% him-alayan."

"Just kneel bro, we'll get the meeting notes later." 😂

"Well this guy just walked in, threatened to fight everyone, told 2 guys what they dream about and declared himself our Messiah. Now we're at war with the empire". "Oh, ok then".

@@HarrisonRocks It's bit more than that, but that's the jist of it.

Paul is using the Voice, the whole crowd can hear him

he’s screaming so loud people outside can hear him

😂😂😂😂

Legit that's the most OP power, you could be the ruler of the world if you knew all the "lucky" accidents that could get you there. Worst case scenario is you look at all possible futures and realize no future exists where you're awesome lmao.

Max Charisma

This exact plot reminds me of my first play through of Mount and Blade warband, despite being a Germanic nobody, I somehow became king of the desert and took the fight to the other kingdoms. Clearly it’s the perfect strategy.

Dune in a nutshell

Speech 100

Timothee mastered his role, characteristics of a leader; calm and passive, always thinking, spoke little, and his actions themselves seeked for him to be a leader

Even now I am speechless facing his coldness when he talks to the man about his grandmother. I can’t. I didn’t know TChalamet. He’s amazing in this role from his arrival 😱

from frindly neighborhood to the badass ferocious leader. So powerful acting from timothee

I knew after his near-death prophetic experience from drinking the poison, something was going to change about him. But I had my doubts how that massive change was going to be conveyed believably in just one scene. This performance was so unexpedtedly powerful, he didn't just convince the fremen, he convinced me too that he was the Messiah. My favorite scene in the movie by far, it's so frighteningly captivating.

Yes from "you think I'm stupid enough..." with tortured face expression, to sheer animal Fremen language! Amazing

😂😂

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Paul had some of that colombian spice before he entered the room.

Good catch.

Bro good point

He knew to be forceful and direct because he saw that was the path in his ability to see the future, not because his male ancestors told him to. I don't think its ever said in the movies or in my memory of the books if he could see both sides of the ancestry. I think its just assumed because he surviving the ritual but he focused his power into seeing the future.

@@tmulttno from what I’ve read it’s explicit that he can see the memories of male ancestors in addition to his female ancestors

@@wiamleiss6175 like I said I think it's just assumed because he survives the Water of Life ritual, I just don't remember one instance or anything mentioned in the books about him tapping into the male ancestry. Female ancestry yes and Leto taps into both male and female. Just can't recall the same with Paul. I'm re reading the books now, so I guess ill find out.

Back then it had a freman name… Dune part 2

dune part 1 baron said one time, but this time paul was so calm to say that and yet so powerful.

I wish he said it with a fremen accent instead of reverting to American. But his delivery still gives me goosebumps. It didn't feel cheesy at all.

Roll Credits...😂

"Hell Gurney, it's seems we're stuck again in this kind of... Dune Part Two"

Blind fanaticism might not be the right word. Strong belief, that quote from stilgar where he says "I don't care if you don't believe, I BELIEVE" he acknowledges the possibility of the lisan al gaib being false, but he doesn't care because of how much he's already seen that's proving the stories.

Yap. It was incredible sensation because I was also pulled in by that moment despite knowing what comes after in Dune Messiah. Rationale for Chani's deviation in screen characterization also became clear as it would be quite hard to convey Paul's internal dilemma without resorting to clumsy voice-overs.

I mean, this kid literally can read your mind and the minds of your ancestors, see the future, use the Voice, and fight like a demon. He has also had his family and house taken from him in a major act of injustice by the same oppressors that have abused the Fremen. It’s not really blind fanaticism; it’s based on reality.

Yup that’s exactly the point.

@@georgeofhamilton one doesnt exclude the other...

His father said the same words to a security chief. The security chief failed to catch a spy, then wanted to resign because he felt so bad about it. But Leto said, "You would deprive us of your talents at this time when the spy is still here?"

I don't 100% understand the line, is it about the guy hoping he can make a sacrifice so his water will be returned to the well?

​@@arthur_168 It's another example of Paul showing his extreme prescience. He's speaking to the man of a shame he has because he's dreamt of giving water to the dead which in Fremen culture is of course the opposite of what they do when someone dies.

@@arthur_168 'give water to the dead' means he cries for the dead, something that is forbidden because it waste water.

Yeah that was my favourite part, he was friends with Paul's dad and had probably served under him for years and a week's ago Gurney was still thinking all the Atreides were all dead. Not only is Paul alive but the Atreides name lives on and with all that desert power it's stronger than ever.

It is the pure satisfaction and fulfillment knowing that every man and woman of house Atreides gave their lives for the moment of putting their beloved Duke's son on the throne. It made Gurney smile again, you can see it when his mouth trembles.

He’s an idiot. Completely blinded by the desire for revenge. Does he not clock that Paul is becoming a tyrant?

"That's my boy" look

Up until that moment, he was probably afraid that the culture of the Fremen had overtaken Paul's upbringing and that he had become a fanatic himself, he had more than likely accepted the fact that Paul had probably forgetten who he was and his past and accepted his new life as Muad'Dib. To see him not only remember who he was, but fully embrace the Spirit of House Atreides must have been one of the most moving moments of his life knowing that the great House he had dedicated said life to was not dead yet, Josh Brolin absolutely killed it with the micro-emotions in this scene, easily one of my favorite actors of all time.

I know, right? It's so perfect in its design that even the audience is meant to feel the way the characters in the story feel. The power in his speech, the diction of his words, the people bowing in unison to him and chanting his name with swords raised in devotion and religious fanaticism; they're all mean to hype the audience the way that the crowd is hyped up--even when we very well know that Paul is absolutely playing into their religion for his own motives, and that his "miracles" he performs throughout the movie are only attainable because of all the study and training he had from Duke Leto, Jessica, Gurney, Duncan, Hawat and Yueh. Paul was groomed from childhood to be the perfect embodiment of their messiah, which is why he so perfectly fulfills their prophecies to the letter.

I left the theater completely indoctrinated 😭

Yup, you’re supposed to be swept up in the fervor. Incredible stuff

@@BlazinPheonix32I want to believe he’s the Lisan Al Gaib. There were so many circumstances out of Paul’s control yet he fulfilled every one of the prophecies

go fight in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict then, all talk no action

And lead everyone to Paradise. Man, the double meaning behind that. Frank Herbert and Denis Villeneuve really understood what the unbridled power of religion can do.

I would follow Anakin Skywalker around the galaxy.

they would go around the galaxy killing everyone, including inocent children. Bilions of them. So yes. Paul is ANOTHER bad guy, here (because the Harkonnens nor even the emperor aren't good guys, either). The most moral person in this story was Duke Leto.

@@Nikitokuz THE HAND OF GOD BE MY WITNESS

I remember some KZfaqrs saying he was too skinny for an action movie. Without realizing this isn't an action movie, and in the books, Paul is wiry thin, and underestimated.

Hell, in the theater I myself bowed down and prayed that he would lead me to paradise

I was very impressed too, but I kinda expected it from him, he already gave hints of this authority in previous roles such as Henry V in The King

I also thought he was a little too slight to run it, but holy shit was I wrong

I thought he’d make a perfect Paul but lacked the gravitas of a Maud’dib. Wrong.

There's Paul Atreides, the calm and soft-spoken teenage noble and then there's Muad'dib, warlord and messiah.

I wonder if they edited his voice. I don't doubt the talent of Timothee Chalamet, but goddamn I didn't know he had that much bass in him. It's genuinely commanding.

He‘s also using the Voice when talking to masses like this. Subtle manipulation. It’s more detailed in the book.

@@tonycezar1645 I think Villeneuve and the casting director both understand something very important: You *need* the small parts to sell the big ones.

If we don't believe he is turning to Paul's side, then no matter how good Chalamet's performance is, we won't believe it.

i think we'll witness another "return of the king" situation at oscars, i don't see this movie getting fewer than 10 oscars. some actings definately deserves nomination. but the screenplay, directing, music, costumes, adaptation, effects... so on and on. this movie is a masterpiece that will influence the next decades as lotr did for almost 20 years.

The whole ensemble is genius imo. Even the talent from the first movie. Oscar Isaac was stellar

And now recall how he was introduced in the first movie. Refusing to give up his weapon to the guards, strolling past guards, spitting in front of Duke Leto, saying few words and leaving right after he gets what he wants. And here he's reduced to a fanatic on his knees in front of a "savior". Paul was right. Becoming Lisan Al Gaib lost him a friend and gave him a follower.

duh its Javier Bardem😏

they will drawn blood tho..

no biggie...all they have to do is nick their own hand before resheathing

Fun Fact: The South only draw their blades after The Norths do so. Because the South are fanatic believers who already believe in Paul and will self-sacrifice to protect him.

Also why they immediately go shanking some Harkonnen and Sardaukar

​@@suivzmoi unacceptable, they'll lose moisture

The point was that none of what he said was actually true. This is the culmination of generations of Bene Gesserit lies and propaganda, deep statistical analysis and drugs via spice. Paul knows none of what he’s saying is actually true or good, Chani knows he doesn’t believe it, Jessica wants him to sell it without knowing what it’ll take. He’s not a prophet, he’s a super computer.

Now just imagine how hardcore Feyd is knowing that he kinda beat Paul.

In a rush of loneliness, Paul glanced around the room, nothing how proper and on-review his guards had become in his presence. He sensed the subtle, prideful competition among them, each hoping for notice from Muad'Dib."

I dont think he is like Stilgar, he is Gurney, lieuntenant of house atreides, revenge is his second name. And Fremens are only the ally on this road

Also want to add, when Paul spoke about Dune, the fremen became believers. But when he spoke about being an Atreides that was when Gurney was converted. Everyone has that one vulnerable area where their heart belongs in, and this is what a charismatic leader knows how to pull the strings of.

His fanaticism is like Stilgar, but while Stilgar is driven by faith, Gurney is driven by loyalty to his Duke.

right, and paul isn't fremen either... like how tf he knows about my family😂

Thank you! I’ve seen so much online discourse slamming the Fremen for blind faith - sure they show fanaticism, but when someone shows up and fulfills centuries old prophesies, tells people things about their past and even their personal dreams, and then leads your people to a dominating victory over the greatest army in the galaxy, I don’t think following him as a Messiah is a sign of blind faith.

villeneuve deserves a lot of credit, too - the slow-mo arrival. the overhead shots. the sick intro music. the reaction of the skeptical fremen being converted - this is one of the most convincing portrayals of that in real-time
