Welcome to The Heavy Spoily Show, I'm your host Paul, and this video we're breaking down June Part 2. We are going back to Arrakis to talk about the sci-fi masterpiece that adapts the second half of June. The movie is packed with hidden details, deeper themes to analyse, and lots of changes from the book that I can't wait to talk about. We are of course building towards June Part 3, which adapts the book June Visaya. We actually just launched a whole new set of June inspired t-shirts at the midge store below, including this desert moon one which is one of my favourite shots in the film.

We also have our golden path one as well, and our June stay mashup with the Benny Jesserit and Doctor Doom which is plus as big as Cants 2, and the more you buy, the more money you save on each shirt, so get yourself a bargain. Anyway we begin once more with a voice over that drops before we get those opening logos. Part 1. The voice disgusts stream is being messaged from the deep, which we went over in that first video. This included theories that linked with genetic memory, and that's something we witnessed the characters seeing here, when Jessica and Paul take the war of life that flooded with memories of their ancestors.

This allows them to think the things that witnessed the lives of people from their family tree, which gives them a wealth of knowledge. It's something that Allie experiences as well because Jessica takes the water while she's in the womb. So even before being born, she's flooded with memories and thoughts of her ancestors, which the Benny Jesserit referred to as a abomination. Due to the fetus, not having fun is on personality yet, the baby is even something that the more dominant personalities can overtake. It's something that they explore in June prophecy with a teen in training, but when it comes to a fetus, they don't really have much pushback.

Although Allie out will develop her own personality, she also has troubles with her sanity. We'll talk about this more when we get to part 3, but there's certain characters from her past who come back to possess her. Allie's inclusion is actually one of the biggest changes from the books as well, as the character is born in the source material. The book takes place over a number of years, and come the end Allie is between 2 and 4 years old. But because of this and how things work, the events of the film may not even be playing out as we see them.

This may be happening far in the future beyond the story, and it could be later the second diving through his ancestors' memories. The book itself is actually told almost like a document of the past, and each chapter opens with Princess Erlan narrating certain scriptures and records at Chronicle detail. They sort of adapt that to the film as we have in Arachian starting things off as opposed to Chani last time. Imperial Diary, your 10191, third comment. This also puts us in the same year as the first film, and we got that when we first went to Paul and Caledan.

So this feels very in line with the book, but I do wonder if this story is also later looking back. In case you don't know, later was actually Paul and Chani's son, who melded with Sandtrau to make himself a giant worm. He ruled over humanity as a tyrant, and deliberately oppressed her so that eventually we'd rise up and break free. He told to us in God Emperor June, and it was all part of his plan to save humanity, and in these opening moments he may be studying his tyrannical father. He gained power through his control of spice, which is the most valuable substance in the universe.

Space travel is completely reliant on it, as is the Space and Guild Navigators, and they ingest vast amounts of it to hone their abilities. This allows them to travel through space, and also gives them the pressing abilities that we see with Paul. The entire universe is addicted to spice, and thus Paul controlling Arachis means he controls everything. The first film had a strong focus on power, with Desert Power being what the Duke saw on Arachis. By making an alliance with the front here on Caledan, we've ruled by air power and sea power.

We saw this as being a key to securing his house, meaning that they were the strongest in the universe. In the book, Paul actually weaponizes people's need for spice to control them, and knows they won't retaliate against him in the end because he can destroy the substance. One of my favorite quotes from the book is how he who has the power to destroy something is the one who controls it. This refers to his control over spice, and how he can wipe it out on Arachis. How about going beyond that, it also speaks to his control over everyone.

Because spice is the thing that people rely on throughout the galaxy, he also has the power to destroy them too. Paul can simply wipe out the substance, and everyone everywhere will crumble to their knees. Civilizations will be destroyed, their imports and exports, businesses, food and everything, every infrastructure will fall apart. On our last video, I did talk about how it would be like if we lost electricity, and I've got a couple of comments saying that oil is more of a fitting metaphor. But to be honest, I'd say we rely more on electricity than we do on oil.

Now I won't get into all the debates again, because that's not the point of the video, but most of the things in our lives are aligned on that. So having this control over it would completely destabilize the universe, and thus everyone has to play K to Paul. So as they say in that very first shot before the logo's power over spice is power overall. Everything is all done in order to get spice with the hierarchical structures being explained by the kind's father in Chapter 31. The passage says, Orakis is a one-crop planet, it's father said.

One crop. It supports a ruling class that lives as ruling classes have lived in all times while beneath them. The semi-human mass of semi-slaves exists on the leavings. It's the masses, and the leavings that occupy our attention. These are far more valuable than has ever been suspected.

The idea of power also leans into the direction of the movie, with us having more of a focus on action. Dreams were there at the start of the first film, and now we had more of a dreamlike film about a journey into the desert. Here though, it's all at war. At this point we hear Princess Erlan's narration, which again builds up the book, but it's also something that David Lynch kicked off his own film with. The fact that Erlan is telling this over Channing last time also speaks to their ox.

Currently at the end of the film, Erlan is formally Paul's wife, and I do view this as her sort of thematically shoving her out the way so she can replace her in more ways than one. This introduction is also told in the past hens, and it clearly sets up how in the future Paul's victorious. It also highlights how he ascends to power, all by shedding who he is to shack up with Erlan. That represents his future, whereas Channing represents his past. In the book, when they first reached the siege, Jessica even thinks how Paul won't be able to wear one of these fremen women, and that he'll have to marry a high born to hold his power.

She even tells Paul not to make the same mistake as father did in falling in love with someone who he was never able to marry. Jessica was always kept as a concubine, and since she wasn't publicly connected to a house, she wasn't seen as someone he should marry. Hadn't she even married the daughter of another house, then it is likely that the harkens might not have been able to overthrow him. This is because they'd be declaring a war on two houses instead of one, but the Duke love Jessica and he regretted not making her his wife, but over time she eventually accepts Channing, and later we'll talk about the book's final paragraph between her and Jessica that kind of discusses how things will be. But the idea of what Paul once vs what he has to do to take power is laced throughout the movie.

He even talks to Gurney about what happens if he walks a certain path, and the final fights divide into two hops. On one side, stand the fremen, which represent his past, whereas on the other is House Greeno and Princess Erlan. Paul eventually moves over to this, showcasing how he's left those on the other side behind him. In what's another massive change up on the book as well, Channing is clearly scorned by what's gone down. We'll talk about that in more in-depth later in the video, but Erlan discusses how Leido was like his son, the Emperor.

This is a direct quote from the book too, and it also details his reaction in the work. When my father, the Pattishott Emperor, heard of Duke Lado's death in the manner of it, he went into such a rage as we had never foreseen. He blamed my mother, and he compacted for us on him to place a benny jesser on the throne. He blamed the guild, and the evil old Baron. He blamed everyone in sight, not accepting even me, or he said I was a witch like all the other men.

When I sought to comfort him, saying it was done according to all the lore of self-preservation, to which even the most ancient rulers gave allegiance, he sneered at me, and asked if I thought him a weakling. I saw then that he had been aroused to this passion not by concern over the dead Duke, but by what death implied but all royalty, as I looked back on it. I think there may have been some pressing in my father too, Burrita Sitt, that his line and what heaves, shared common ancestry. But this is altered here as the Emperor says nothing, but she says he hasn't been the same since. And the Emperor said, nothing.

Since that night my father has not been the same. She says his actions telling, and it shows his hand, because if he cared he would have brought wrath to the Baron. But as he says, he has been dead before. He's an old man, desperately clutching to power, who will even kill those he loves just to hold onto it. Now Christopher Walken's vision is slightly different to the work, as in that even though the Emperor's old, he's described as looking 35.

This is because he's been taking a shitload of spice, which for a long time, in that he also has thick red curly hair, which are the characteristics of his green oak. I think his aging luck probably works better for the story as we instantly associate with wisdom. How about this? There's also fragility as well, and it speaks to how he's grasping at power, passing Walken as well. It's also coincidentally weird callback to Walken's past as he danced to the phrase, Walk Without Rhythm, and You Won't Attract the Worm and Fat Boys Slim's Weapon of Choice.

The pair are also playing the game Chiaops, which is the universe version of chess. I've heard it pronounced Chiaops as well before, and it's like a whole thing on words having different sounds depending on what audio you listen to. Or what film you watch. The pronunciations all over the place. I remember even Chani being called Chani in one of them, but for this breakdown I'm going to try and stick to the film's way.

But this game does have some symbolism attached to it, as it's about taking down the king and the queen is also the most powerful player. Erlan sees herself as gaining power by accepting Paul's marriage, and in doing this she also outs so far that this is really foreshadowed nicely in this game at the start, as she beats her dad while he sits there in an action. I think she does this because she knows her dad loved later like his son, and still had him killed, so who knows what he'd do to her. Her marriage support was even suggested in the last film, and it was thought as a way to survive the war. Now the full of house to trade is, is shown symbolically through the burning of the bodies and artifacts.

This is in the aftermath of the Battle of Arachin, which happened at the mid-pond of the last film. This imagery is later echoed at the end of the film when we see the Fremen burning the Harkenins and Korean forces. It shows that violence is cyclical and that power is often fleeting. Paul himself will lose it at some point, and all will be burned in this war that destroys all. The Duke's painting is there as well, which is in a similar vein to how his own fathers appear at the beginning of part one.

We see a trade use, so you'll then melt in dissolves, symbolically cementing that the house has been wiped from existence. From here, we could have the Baron anointing Rabanne as the Duke is clearly allusions to the Hitler propaganda film at Trying for the Will with soldiers and banners lining the area. The Baron then glides about using his suspension tech, and symbolically it shows he's above everyone here. You'll also see that he's got balls attached onto his tubes, with he getting sliced throughout the end. In the work, Arya is the one who kills him, and she's surprised everyone's completely terrified of this character.

She simply calls him a fat old man who's too weak to even support his own weight. In the end, he goes out a bit like a chump with him dying while foolishly attempting to crawl to the throne. The Baron is the one who's in the box, Arya then nicks him with a gom jubor, and this is what puts an end to the character. Clearly, he has difficulty breathing as well, and this is explained a bit more in the book. Chapter 26 says that the Baron's still suffering from the gas attack, which is why he struggles to breathe at the end.

On the banners, we can also catch the Harken incigil, which is a mentor's sample of Griffin. On the flip side of this, the Atreides one is a hawk, which shows how interlinked their linkages. The Anointment of Rabanne even has a double sight to it, as it's all just a plan within a plan. The book explains that Rabanne was a vicious man, which the Baron used to make the people of Arrakas hate him. When he ushered in Fade, he'd become more popular because he was seen as someone who had a far gentler touch.

In the book, this was advised by Howard, who's captured at the attack on Arrakin. Peter DeVries is killed by Lido, and thus the Baron requires a mentat. He's stupidly though, and decides to take Howard, who obviously will work against the Harkenins. He even helps out Fade to try and oust his uncle and constantly works behind their backs. The Baron does in fact secretly poison Howard, and he administers the antidote to his food.

Should he betray him though, this process will stop your stop getting fed, and thus how it will die. But in the meantime, he actually advises him to stop helping Rabanne even after the Emperor demands more spice. This will put him in a dire situation, and thus he'll oppress the locals further. This will keep the Baron's hands clean, all while getting Rabanne's dirty. He's given a male like Necklace, and in the book we learn he's been granted the Palace.

Paul then ceases this towards the end of the book, and by doing this, it shows that the rightful ruler's return. But this makes people realize that Paul now cares more about things than people go and even questions when in the tradies did this, and it's a stark contrast to Lido. At the Zankrales scene in part 1, you might remember he saved the people there instead of trying to save the spice, and it highlights how Paul is now leaning more towards his Harken than each. So taking Rabanne's home is basically in becoming more in line with the Harkenin, not only in taking that as a place, but also the fact that the person who lived there was a Harkeninin, and he's stepping in their shoes. Does that make sense?

Erroland's narration then talks about how the Atreides died in the darkness, and we've seen a clip strike over Raccots due to the two moons. One of these is called the Hand of God, and the other's nickname were Deep. In the film we'll see how Paul gains the name of the team, and that he's also seen as a guard pointing away. This eventually urges a millennia of darkness, so this causing an eclipse is quite symbolic. We then cut to Alia in the womb as she's a barely formed fetus.

Her growth is way to mark the passage of time, and highlights there's sort of something festering and growing. The way the fetus looks as well, it isn't exactly a cute and cuddly, and the first time I saw it, I thought it might be a baby worm. I think this is deliberately done to add a sort of horrifying sight to Alia, because children are a very strong focus in the novel though, and it's equals with it being a sort of coming of age story for Paul. Birth of his children is then a big focus in Messiah, and then we watch as they grow in this book. Children of June.

I also always get people that are commenting saying, where the hell do you get those books from? I love these other folios society editions, they're a bit pricey, but the artwork inside is fantastic. It's just loads of stuff like this, it looks excellent when you're reading it. Something else that's absent from the film is the fact that Paul actually has a child with Chani, named Laido as well, which can get confusing, he's unfortunately killed in one of the Harkon in the assaults. This opening also has a lot of illusions in 2001, with it almost echoing the star child's meaning that.

That was the next step of human evolution, and all the Atreides becomes something else in the story. In general, this is just a really unique way to introduce this to a character, and I have to say, the de-aging technology is getting better and better and better. We then cut across to Jammus' body, which they're carrying through the desert for his water. The book expanded upon what happened when Paul reached the sea urch, and we learned that he had some, let's say, extra responsibilities. By law, he had to look after Jammus' family and either take his wife as his wife or as his maid for a year.

Known as Hara, she was a key in helping raising Alia, and eventually ended up marrying Stilgar. The opening also basically adapts to the start of book 2, which opens with a line, now Harkening, she'll kill Harkening. That's how we kick things off as well with the movie, and Jessica signing the word enemy. This is through battle language, which is a way for houses to communicate with each other without making any sound. Each house says their own unique language, and this is so spies, can't intercept it and see what they're saying.

The book talks about how the Fremen move across the desert, almost like a military company, with Jessica discussing these actions in chapter 31. Also have two visions of the book, yeah? I have a compulsion where if I see a copy of June, and it's just got a nice cover, I'm going to buy it. It's like that movie conspiracy theory with Catcher in the Rye. Yes, these are some incredible- this is by Ace as well, that one's by Folio Society if you want to pick them up.

The book talks amongst the sand with them all gliding silently across the dunes. It's on this page that she also discusses the meaning of the word sich, with the group heading to sich to go. Sich is a meeting place in times of danger with it being a sanctuary for the Fremen. It's where that arrives from of the Ukrainian word sich, and hope it looked at lots of languages when writing the book. The term quiz that's Haderak is actually based off of Hebrew phrase, kurfizats haderak, haderak, which according to iNewTrivia, means a miraculous journey between two distant places in a brief time.

I will be messing up the pronunciation a lot. Lisa Nal Gaiib is also heavily used throughout the movie with it being still gar constantly says. The point is like a meme. Haderak is based on Arabic though, and it means the tongue of the unseen. In June it's the voice from another world which is outlined in their legends is the person that will save them.

Chapter 24 says the friend believed that the one who dies in the service of Lisa Nal Gaiib shall live forever, hence why so many are willing to be led into paradise. Ironically, they embrace his propaganda as well while completely rejecting the rest. In the book when they meet Stilgh for the first time he talks about the posters pushed in the town and Zac Kum with the tagline, Love that chuk. Instead of getting them that way though, they push this religion to their great great great great great great great great grandparents, so they were brought up believing that the Lisa Nal Gaiib was who to follow. It's the same way you probably support the same football team your parents do and how you also likely follow the same religion as your family does.

When you brought up with it, you don't question it as much and this is why the Fremen Esau would be it, the source of the phrase Maddy which is Islamic in nature. It saw the Maddy will appear at the end of time and will wipe the world of evil. So there's lots of these ideas, like the movie and all these words kind of prop up that pulls someone to follow. Originally this scene was going to end the first film but they decided during prep that they'd end on the Wim T's and then start the sequel here. In the book Paul actually doesn't fight Jammus until they make their way back to the base of the company and the entire way Jammus is basically constantly being a dick and pushing Paul and Stilgh for his buns.

After killing him they then hold a funeral where one by one the Fremen say Jammus was their friends and they pay their respects. Paul questions whether he should say the same thing though but eventually does it to try and win them over. He says he was a friend of Jammus because Jammus taught him that when you kill you pay for it. During this moment he sheds a tear and the Fremen is shocked because he gives water to the dead. They learn from a very young age, that much is important and that crying is something you shouldn't do.

So the fact that Paul does this wins him around even further as I can see he's actually shedding tears for him. Even though 30 seconds earlier Paul was thinking R.I.P. Bozo. Paul even thinks about how his dad was worried about them becoming a gorilla house and it's in this journey he realizes it's happened. From this point the Hagenen forces send a send to the desert.

He gets several shots of them silhouetted against the orange and it's very reminiscent of one of the book covers. In the bulk we learn they have to do these patrols on foot because Stilgar actually bribes the space and goes with spice. This stops them from sending their satellites over their terrain which is something that R.I.P. has to deal with. That's the only half of it.

Although it seems like they're the most formidable force that actually vastly outmatched. They're almost slow, clunky and stands out against the sand and sky making them an easy target. These soldiers just aren't used to the harsh environments and thus the Fremen are the best of the best of the best. Their entire existence is built around survival and in the bulk when the Sederkar attacked Arkeen. The disguise themselves as Hagenen so the Empress of the Lions wouldn't be noticed.

This film didn't bother doing that but I did know when first things were in fact Sederkar forces. They're not though as we later see them unmasked with a worn out also being described as spelt the. Giddy Prime is a harsh industrial wasteland and it seems like everything's polluted. Which is probably why it tastes like shit. Amongst this danger we also have beauty and I think the moment where they float up the cliffs is one of the best parts in the series.

This is done after using the suspense attack which also holds up the baron. It also makes them appear insect like and highlights it in natural and almost parasitic way the Harkenens interact with nature. Just makes them an opposite to the Fremen who have to scramble around and hide in the rocks. But they know this terrain better and they use a thumb better to learn them to the high ground and shoot them off one by one. Thumbers are used to attract the worm but here they're also used to other enemies.

The cliffs and hits and before they can finish saying well ok the leader's taken out. You might also notice that there's a command for no shields even though this probably would have saved their lives. This spells out a little bit in the book though where they describe how they're a danger in the desert. According to Idaho's reports how it says shields are dangerous in the desert. A body size shield would call every worm for hundreds of meters around.

It appears to drive them into a killing frenzy. We've the Fremen's weird on this and no reason to doubt it. Idaho saw no evidence of shield equipment at the siege. It's like dropping blood in the water and lust is to survive here they need not to rely on them. Which also causes their death.

They then shut off the cliff and then falling off it nicely juxtaposes their ascent. Paul then grapples with one toe to toe and we see how he doesn't wrestle with killing him like how he did jamus. Trained by the best swordsman in the universe he easily takes out the body. This is all about fights with the air was also developed by the movie with a bringing forth the weirding weight from the books. This requires a companion to alter their perception of time and thus they can maneuver at an incredibly fast speed.

They then changes for the lynch film in which it was about the manipulation of sound which had poor using sonic weapons. Yet they don't really acknowledge it but have combat being something that pours a death. How about he also doesn't watch his back which is something they constantly try to hammer into his head. Never. Sound what you're back to put the open.

Early on in the book how it constantly says he should never sit with his back to the door which comes full circle when they meet in the final chapter. But this is so the assassins can sneak up on him. Jessica then brutally beats the sky to death with a rock and it shows how far she's come from being the juice lady. This also ties into the deeper themes of her character and how she'll do what she needs to ensure her son's survival. This and itself pulls from the book with the outlining and chapter 3 that she should shield him no matter what even if it costs everything.

We then see the Fremen draining water from their victims. It's really disgusting and Jessica even vomits at the side of it. Shows how the Fremen have even been reduced to being parasites themselves and even though once not dead they still suck them dry. Could've went that better. Then leave the bodies for the worm who wipes out all evidence they were there.

Just like the tides remove footprints on the beach the worms are kind of a way to basically cover their tracks. Caring to Arakin we then see as the architecture is changing to look more honking it. An underling and tries to warn Rabanne that they're losing too many men to the Fremen and all he says is... He then corrects the Fremen and says the south's inhabitable. They actually have no idea if that's the case though because as we touched upon before the satellites everything running though that system being bribed with spice we discover later on that the Fremen in the thousands there and their mainly fundamentalists religion is stronger in the south and shouts another plain podcast for pointing out this may be based off America and how religion tends to be stronger in the south too.

Rabanne then smashes the guys head like the like button and says... Kill them all! Kill them all! Which echoes the barons commands in part one. Kill them all.

We then see the company moving through the rocks and eventually they arrive at the CH. This in itself appears like a temple and highlights how religion surrounds them and everything. Paul also looks up and spots some bats. Later on at the Harkman's Burn a Cave full of birds and we learn that the Fremen use them as messengers. Paul actually chooses a bird cave as his base as this is the central hyper information being flown back and forth.

Upon arriving at the center we see there's believers as well and also people who blame him for Jamis' death. Eventually Paul must win these rounds and the first act is about him cementing his legacy. According to the wiki the Fremen language is also Chacobza which also derives from Arabic. Stellgar meets with his council and he says he sees the sights. How about the elder just says...

Or again if you're just listening to the video. I think it highlights Stellgar's need for purpose and how he'll twist what he sees to fit his beliefs. He brings up how quickly Paul's learned their ways and even though he's a young boy he's able to best one of their best of the best of the best. Sir you get the joke with that. The reason that Paul's able to pick things up so fast though is detailed to us in the beginning of chapter 9.

That talks about how rather than learning Paul was taught how to learn how to learn. The prophecy is really fast which the Fremen sees is him taking things up naturally. Thus he's able to become the prophet because it appears like the way he's a natural to him. Stellgar then pledges his life to the character but the others just want to cast him to the desert. How that Stellgar says is there's use for the woman and he plans to make her their reverend mother.

Now the prophecy states that at least an Algabes mother will be one and I did wonder if this was a move by him to basically help fulfill the prophecy. He's very much a part of making it come true as well and starts to see the signs even if they may not be there. We then go to Paul and Jessica having a meal. The work tells us that this is bird flesh and spice essence ingrained in a leaf which sounds lovely. Paul never had a spice mask like this before though and he wonders what it can do to his wenness.

We see this playing out at this point in the film and the book describes the vision as an excess in time. The winds of the future then start to wash over him and he sees people worshipping at his father's shrine which we do see here as well. In the book Paul actually led Arazio Ray to recover what he could from Harakin and this led to him finding his father's skull. He then built a shrine for it just like we see here and the Fremen would bow before it to worship their leader's father. In the book we also learn this portrait was painted by an artist named Alba with him also providing the one of Leidos dad and Paul one.

Jessica then says. My father didn't believe in a ranch. Hell I do. This is building off the harkening within him and it's immense what the empress says at the end. He was a man who believed in the rules of the heart but the heart is not meant to rule.

Your father was a weak man. In the book we discover the emperor had to answer to the lancer at high council which has the power to oust him if it seems like his actions but they're at risk. We're actually 157 great houses that compose this with him ruling over 10,000 planets. This is why Paul disrupts so much though because spice is part of that entire 10,000. In the book Paul gives chinese some water out his point which people make little side eyes like whoo.

He then remembers it's a courtship ritual and it's something that people do for someone they love in the culture women are also warriors and they fight as much as the men. At one point the soldier even reports the empress that they throw themselves and their babies on their blades just to open a path for their men. This is seen as being a sign of madness but it highlights how ingrained their belief is. The Fremen are also the only ones who give women any power and all the other houses have women as servants. Even the Beni Gesserit they're resigned to being councilors and concubines and that's basically why they manufactured the quizat's head of rock in the first place.

In the Fremen though women are on the front line and even leading their councils. We then see james' body being put through processing which kind of has two sides to it. In one way it's a respectful preparation of the body and in another way it's completely stripping away all this water. This is almost like a mummification process as well as body being completely wrapped. Moisture is obviously the most important thing to the Fremen though as it's all they have amongst the desert.

Ironically they're surrounded by spice which is the most important substance in the galaxy but that holds little meaning as they have it in about everything. This is a complete flip from Paul's home of Caledan which was added of spice but surrounded by water. The Fremen view moisture is very very important though so when Jessica starts vomiting you can see why it still goes a bit like even wipes her tail later on and drinks it because water's such a valuable substance. In the book Channing also brings up why Jammus was carried back. It says that the flesh belongs to the person but the water belongs to the tribe.

Paul was offered Jammus's water but he turned it down which is something Channing doesn't understand. To her water is water and so Jessica makes them accept its other petite. The winner of the fight also normally takes the other's water and this makes up for the moisture that they lost from fighting. It plays in the idea of reming community though and how in ingesting another's water it also becomes part of them. Jammus' water is then mixed in with the great pool and in many ways he's returned to his ancestors.

Paul also takes his place in more ways than one and he not only absorbs his water but also his wife in the book. But yeah everyone is just super strict with water and in chapter 36 not even a swipe her a cries over Jammus as she refuses to give water to the dead. For the movie Jammus's water it's putting on that great shrine where we're also learning it contains 38 million decaliters, decaliters. This is incredibly sacred though and Stellgar says his people will rather die from thirst than ever take a drink from it. As we learn this will one day use a terraform the planet and turn it June back to the paradise it once was.

We actually saw hints of this back and part one where there being a room that ecologists were growing plants in. The book explains that one day they plan to evaporate it and then it will rain down on the planet. Jessica sees this as another thing Paul can weaponize and he can promise them this feature paradise. In an arbol Paul passes by in this moment and realizes that he missed a vital piece of a potential future. He doesn't know what exactly was being said here but knows something has passed and feels that the G had still ahead of him.

The book is explained to us in chapter 33. In chapter 31 one of the first things yes Jessica is if she is one so it shows how important this characteristic is to him. Mothers make up a lot of religious tales in general as well and obviously are heavily tied to messianic figures. Christianity of course has mother Mary with Herbert taking inspiration from that. Also I keep saying chapters as well and technically the book doesn't have any chapter names in them like chapter 9 and shit like that.

I did just find it was easier organizing my notes like that and if you're listening to the audio book you should see chapter numbers so stuff there should line up. In the book Stellgar also warns that if she doesn't become a reverend mother and the tribe learn of her power then they may see her as someone who can lead them. She'd already bested Stellgar in the desert and they live by the rule that the strongest should lead. So they'd have to face each other in combat unless she takes up the position and they're like well technically she's a reverend mother so it's another play by Stellgar. Jessica is then taken and consumed the order of life and we learn a bit more about this in the book.

Chapter 37 gives us the ceremony with a major difference there being that Jessica says there's at least 20,000 people there. There's never say she is though Jessica says she has no choice and must move quickly to secure that place amongst the people she ends the current reverend mother and describes her as a crone looking like a collection of sticks draped in a black robe. She senses that she's old and frail and yet has a darker side to her which we see in the voice in the movie she's willing to hand her life over to Jessica and live within her as a memory because she knows that the Fremen are moving soon. She says she cannot survive another journey and that this is a time for her to move on. Another book we can of course get the description of what it tastes like with Jessica saying there's a cinnamon from the spice but it's cooler.

In the film we then go outside the cave which is where Paul stands at a crossroads. On one side we have the believer clearly looking at him like oh come here come here come here come here the thumbs up on the other side though is the people just ignoring him and he knows he has to win these around. What are you guys having about? Don't bother. And this killed me a bit because when I moved into a new house when I was a kid didn't speak to the neighbour for like five days he was the same age as me and then they were out playing on the bikes and I basically did the same thing.

I am Paul literally. I am Paul. So yeah they then say they don't believe in this whole prophecy thing and it's at this point we're also properly introduced to Shakli. In chapter 40 we meet the character in the book who's actually a man there and is a close ally of Stillkor. Just before the whim ride he gives Paul's his hooks and says they've never failed him.

They also talk about how Stillkor's from the south and this explains why these guys sound American whereas he doesn't. He's from the south. He didn't notice his accent. Shakli says the order of life is whim pissed and we learn to learn how they extracted. Shakli 44 ends by explaining the drowning of a whim which we see in the film at the temple.

It's quite a harrowing moment and shows that they literally have to kill a baby whim to get the substance and the drowning of a maker was the greatest Fremen secret because it produced the substance of their union. The water of life. The poison that could only be changed by a Reverend Mother. One thing the film doesn't touch upon as well is how the Fremen have trained awareness to sense the slightest change of moisture in the air. Jessica knows she will get that soon too and be the same as them when it comes to water.

In the book The War of Life's embedded Jessica by Chani and Jess notices that featuring her face of the accounts. This shows that depending on the telling she was either mother or father and it's just kind of the lineage attached to them. Now when going through the transformation the water of life expanded her perception and slowed down time so she was able to counter the poison. Jessica survives this because Benny, Jess are able to manipulate their bodies on a cellular level and they can contract poisons and break them down on a molecular level. This is also how they're able to choose the sex of their child and the group are capable of emitting strong pheromones.

This is how Margo seduces later on and why Halma Hyme was even thinking about giving it a go with him. But the source material really goes in depth on the actual process and how she scans the cells and then begins to change them. It's kind of like I don't know one of those mini games on Resident Evil 9 and she switches the protein molecules into other things. In the book the Reverend Mother and Jessica then link up mentally and she sees her as a young woman named Mother Ramallo. She says this is how she really is and that time is all perception.

This is how the mother also knows she's pregnant. Jessica then sees the in eye and the mother says we thank her that it's female as a male would have died. In the film this in eye opening is embodied by Alia getting washed in the blue substance. The book then says the old woman begins dying and she passes away, she pours her memories into Jessica. Jess then gets flashes of all the lives, lovers, important and unimportant matters, life and death and she feels almost like the old woman's pouring her life into her.

Like what in a cup? She fought it the only way she knew. I shall not fear. Fear is the mind killer. The woman hands over everything, even her moment of death and you can see how a fetus who hadn't experienced life yet would be sent insane by this.

So I cannot wait to meet Alia. The woman's final words in the book are also, I've been waiting a long time for you. Here is my life. It's in this moment that Jessica learns that she's the daughter of the Baron highlighting her complete awareness. In the book Paul actually learned in the tent when he consumed the spice and he informed his mother of the fact in chapter 22.

When you next find a mirror, study your face, study mine now. The traces are there if you don't plan yourself. Look at my hands, the set of my bones and if none of this convinces you then take my word for it. I've walked the future, I've looked at a record, I've seen a place I have all the data. We're Harkenens.

We're in a gay branch of the family, she said. That's it, isn't it? Some Harkenenen cousin who, the other Baron's own daughter, he said, and watched the way she pressed her hands to her mouth. The Baron sampled many pleasures in his youth and once permitted himself to be seduced, but it was for the genetic purposes of the Beni Jesterit by one of you. In the expanded works, we learned that her mother actually had almahaim who seduced the Baron to take his seat.

This was so her child could be sent to serve the Atreides and in having a child with them, they'd then unite their bloodlines. Outside we then see the two sides now in an argument with him going back and forth over if Paul's the one. She then says the Maddy must be Fremen and this is something that's brought up in chapter 40. In order to become one, one has to ride the worm and this is the next step in fulfilling the prophecy. He knows that he's already one's still got in that gang around though, so instead he just sides with the atheists.

She's right! It's no miracle. My mother was trained to do that. Now the other half is still got, it's still saying Paul's the Lee San Al-Gaiib because the Lee San Al-Gaiib would say he's not the Lee San Al-Gaiib. That's something you would say.

You'll often see with prophecies though and telling how they're left up to interpretation and this means they can be twisted a bit in arif. That's exactly what's going on here with still got. In the book, Alia has grown a bit more and that Jessica's eyes have turned blue. Initially, they tried doing this effect through contact lenses but found the sand got stuck in the act's eyes. So this effect was all applied in post and the bluer they appear, the more they're indoctrinated.

Jessica then says Alia talks to her and the quizzes had a rack shows the way. In order to fulfill this, Paul must drink the water of life and then his mind will expand. In the book, right after she went through this and he was with Chani, it was then revealed her name was Desert Spring which ties to the prophecy later. We'll also saw the billions of dead ahead of him and witnessed that she had, which I think he could also be seeing here due to his reaction while legions were charged into battles screaming their war cry. Muadim, it must not be he thought.

I cannot let it happen but he could feel the demanding race consciousness within him, his own terrible purpose and he knew that no small thing could deflect the juggernaut. It was gathering way to momentum. If he died this instant, this thing would go on through his mother and his unborn sister. Nothing less than the deaths of all the troops gathered here and now, himself and his mother included could stop the thing. We then cut to the dunes which then deliberately shut to resemble an ocean.

This was supposed to just oppose Caledane and highlight the similarities and differences between the two worlds. It plays into the biblical illusions as well as Jesus went out into the desert for 40 days. Paul's told to travel out to a dune and watch out for centipedes, the little ones which had my wife looking at me sideways. There was the ones about the jinn which is based up the wijini. These spirits don't appear in the book but it does highlight how the framiness superstitious.

Paul also hears voices in his visions after ingesting spice and they of course tell him of his destiny. But they often come with this and decide to them and we see what happens as Paul listens to them and follows their advice in both films. Making his way across the desert he then walks without rhythm to not attract the worm. Johnny and Colton think still goes, deliberately put him in danger to prove the profits he'll know the ways of the desert. They don't believe outside out we'll have studied them at all but Paul and did show Paul watching those video books on them.

The framiness also don't have technology like this so they possibly weren't even aware that someone could study their ways. So to them it just seems like he's not like the others and naturally knew how to do things in the film. Then it kind of leans into the horror stuff as we see something moving beneath the sand. The idea of the jinn hangs over the scene and that becomes more apparent when we see someone perched on the sand. Maybe less than closely to this bit as well.

You can actually hear the laughter of jammus. This builds up Paul's visions in part 1 in which he saw jammus as a mentor. How about this never came true and it highlights how the visions aren't always right. It's actually a great moment in the book as well where we join Paul with deep in the conflict resting in a cave. He says other past, present and future have all kind of melded together and he's almost unable to decipher the difference.

So his visions of the future become memories and that's kind of mixed with the memories of the past. Does that make sense? He even has to remind himself that his mother hasn't gone to the south yet and even questions of Ali has been born. At his point she hasn't but it shows how much his head's all over the place. This also explains why he's jammus even though he knows he's dead.

At this point he also thinks about finding his father's skull and making a shrine but then one is if he's already done it. This figure is then revealed to be channy and she then tells him he's not even in the wind territory so he's been wasting his time walking without rhythm. As you can hear this doesn't make the banging sound like doo doo doo. Because it's not the drum sand that's used to call the wind. He's from the sand.

The sand and we see how they become intertwined by the way they have the same movements when they walk. Almost like a dance. Channy fills the spot that jammus would have as mentor and we see as the pair start to fall in love. Then shows him a wind trap which we learn a bit about in the book. Basically they trap Moistia in the air and then funnel it down into their sacks.

Paul's completely besunded by her though and has of course seen channy in his dreams. So maybe the prophecies weren't all bad. Either way he and channy hit it off and we join Jessica talking to her womb. So creepy seeing her just tapping away while murdering to her stomach and later on we hear her voice. How that detail that I love is that we don't actually hear Ali's voice until after Paul has a vision of her.

Ali is seen as being a child who's like a demon and there's even talk about giving her an exorcism. Jessica explains she developed like this in the womb and we see how cunning she is here. Jessica targets the children because they're easier to manipulate and she'll build a legend of Paul to ensure his sekti. She's a rubber mother so is seen as a pillar of the community and is basically abusing her power to get them to fall in line. Now we've all heard stories of religious figures abusing how manipulating kids and they often use religion to do this.

Now though Jessica doesn't take things that far, she's more than happy to brainwash the people who saved her in the desert. Paul and Jessica could have been just left there to die but they've been invited in and thus this cancer is what will spread and change them. All like Alia, Hissav and Jessica grows within Jessica and starts to corrupt her. Jessica also grows within the community and corrupts them with her lies and manipulation. At this point we see Amordib going up to a snorkel at Sticking at the ground.

This is so that the Fremen under it can breathe which is Paul and basically they use these to remain as hidden as long as possible. Despite harvest to their lands and starts to farm the sands with the Harken and soldiers pacing beside it. The Fremen then launch their attack and catch the soldiers completely off guard. Due to them being able to duck and roll they're basically able to take out the forces who can't bend because of their clunky armour. We see Paul here employing all his training and they move quickly through the forces.

Such a good scene and we see as the airship peppers the land indiscriminately. They even hit their own men and these weapons are designed to do as much damage as possible. Even if it isn't accurate the group then crawl beneath the crawler which is such a cool moment and we then see as they load up their rockets. I love the way Channing just ends up using an RPG to take out one guy and reminds me a lot of like I don't know call it you or something when you out bullets and literally have to use an RPG cause that's all you have and just use it on this one guy. The pair then have to hide from the gunship and Paul uses himself as bait so Channing can get the shot.

The inaccuracy of the gun is what saves his life though and yeah the gunna just pans down to see Channing lowering the rocket launcher which is when we see she's already fired. This then breaks through the shield and blows the gunship sky high and we then watches Fremen fire from the desert and take down the harvester. Now you might be wondering why these guys didn't just take out the gunship. Hala if a laser hits the shield it actually causes an atomic explosion. So this is why they wait and hide for most of the battle and then pop about the end.

It's still the gunship but I basically won't spot them in the hills and then take them out but for most of the fight they're basically over here like Batman at the end of Batman v Superman. Celebrating in the tent we then see that Paul's now sapped between Channing shishakli and fighting alongside him they've started to accept him and this is all part of the plan though they don't believe in the prophecy it's still in their friendship though so they will defend him if things get tough though he might not have won their fate they'll still stand beside him and it takes more to send his away from the Fremen. Now in the tent we get to seeing that sort of rips off chapter 33. This happened immediately after beating jemmas in the book whereas yeah it's a couple of months later shishakli jokes had the wordy blags his smell and yeah that just kind of calls back out of the mouse who's sniffing his windpipe. Then it ends up taking his name which in the book Jessica is shocked by.

He says it's exactly like Paul told her in the tent and she realizes the prophecy's coming true. Still Bart then gives him the name Uso but he still pushes forward with the mouse one. So whether he's actually predicting the future or forcing it to come true is something that you really have to interpret yourself. In the book Paul also asks if he can be known by the name his father gave him as he still wants to hold onto his past. Thus he's known as Paul Mwadit.

He thinks about how that wasn't in the vision and it shows that he changed things. For the film Paul also says that if he dies then others will keep going. This is something he thinks about in the source material while he's about to fight fade and he realizes the jim has unstoppable. If he dies they'll carry him forth as a martyr and say that his spirit's another one guiding them. If he lives he'll be seen as unstoppable and people will still fight in his name.

That whole process doesn't make it to the movie but I think that's definitely what Denny is getting at in this moment. Worthy of also fitting because it makes it's own water either through its sweat or moisture which it collects through its ears. Paul could even be seen as a figure who'll eventually collect all the water out on the planet and then usher in a paradise that terra forms june. On that Paul is mouse like and small which is why so many underestimate him. Like the Mwadit though he is a survivor and thus it's a perfect name for the character.

The book then has a meaning. Jammus is wife Hera who's pretty shocked she's now got to partner up to a young boy. Paul is just 15 in the book and she can't believe a boy bested her jammus. She thinks a boy has been made fatherless to another boy but follows the customs because that is her duty. We then learn that Jammus actually bested her husband before him who was a man called?

What was called? My name is Jeff. Yeah yeah Jeff and then says that she's still young and beautiful and that Paul should take her instead of casting her aside. Paul also notices that there's no poison, snoopers and the sea edges. Every challenge is out in the open.

It's nowhere near as duplicitous as the politics of the empire and everyone's opening about challenging the others. Jania at some points even has to fight people who challenge Paul and though it might be like ah Paul you should do it mate. It's more humiliating for them if they challenge Paul and end up losing to his woman. Now it's at this point that we then jump to book 3 in the book which is titled The Prophet. This is about Paul accepting his role as a prophet and it's why he puts away his father's ring.

This is now the path he chooses to walk on rather than being seen as someone trying to lead the Atreides house. It's only really once he encounters Gurney that he goes back to his path and then decides to follow the one that leads him to Erland. Basically also the final section of the book and they actually reorder a lot of the movie in the film. Giddy Prime happens way way earlier than this on Fade 17th birthday. Rise for the film it happens after all this stuff with Paul.

The fact that Paul puts away the ring as well also shows he's made a choice at least for now in the first film. His dad told him at the graveyard that if he accepted that he'd leave the house. So in putting it away is him making a choice but when he takes it and puts it back on later it shows that he's ready for the path of revenge once more. Paul here kind of feels at peace though and not someone who's desperate to be a duke that rules him. He says, this butts Paul as someone above them whereas here he sits side by side with Chani.

Things like this that fractionary relationship as he puts himself above the entire people instead of being level with them. We also get a call back to Paul one that confirms the vision. He then explains Caledan. This was actually shown to Paul during a dream in chapter 3 which he told to Helmaheim. But later comes the past during chapter 40 where he tells her about the waters of his world.

Paul regretfully thinks that Caledan was a paradise but in the end this just made them soft. By having it easy they weren't really tested and now the house has been easily taken. Again you really get the sense that the dunes in the scene are just like an ocean. They're vast and wave like and stretch out as far as the eye can see. Steven Spielberg even brought this up when talking about the movie and said, this is a desert loving story.

But for such a desert loving film there is such a yearning for water in this movie. Full of sand you have in this film it's really about water. The sacred waters that are yearning for green meadows and the blue water of life. He filmed the desert to resemble an ocean, sea. The sandworms were like sea serpents and that scene surfing the sandworms is one of the greatest things I've ever seen ever.

But you made the desert look like liquid. We then see some of the raids and skirmishes and Chani quote unquote showing him the way. Paul later takes his idea for himself and he leads a Fremen on their G-head. For now though he starts off as a follower and we get several moments out of reference shots from the first film. This includes Chani climbing up a rock and then looking back at the character.

This is a nod to the Bit in the Montage which goes down at 237. We then see Paul in the rock lying flat with a telescope which is also a nod to when we saw Jamison Chani. Lastly we then cut a channy and she appears similar to how she did that. Highlights are nothing really changed and are still in the seemingly endless war. But there are some successful raids and the harken and production line keeps getting slowly cycled out.

The book tells us this puts the harken in his in debt to the emperor and he starts to squeeze the family more and more. Each quailer has to be up to make up for the last one and the harken in his could lose a rakus. Including all the money the Baron invested in coming here. We're out of money! What?

Brattle? Then get an idea of the pressure as we cut to Aragide and see the Baron taking his angers out on his servants. The Baron then lowers himself back into the healing pit looking like modok from Antman Contamania. A lot of the way that the dead servants are also covered in the black vial from the pool showing that he flew over and did this. It also highlights the darkness that's corrupting everything and how his influence is destroying innocence.

The Baron also noticed that a lot of the blin the film appears black as well which was actually done for quite a smart creative choice. This allowed them to avoid getting a higher rating which might hold back the movie and yeah it just means they could show it to more people. In the book they then discuss the rumours of a new religious leader and the Baron regrets letting religion flourish. We then join Paul getting a dream of the ji-had and when she follows a woman heading south through the desert. I'm in the south and I'm following someone and it triggers only more.

From behind it is difficult to make out who this is and it could actually be a number of different characters. The first of these is Chanie who appears to be walking like this in other visions. She's also worn a long white dress which is similar to what the character has here. Also possible that this is Jessica because yeah she heads out later in the movie and we do see a shot of her on the side. How that I think due to what her hair looks like here that it could actually be Alia.

Alia appears in a full white dress during part 3 and here her hair also looks similar. Millions and millions of people starving to death. Due to Paul controlling the galaxy and rationing spice the every world basically cannot continue as normal. All who oppose him are cut off from this substance and thus the people under their rule of staff. This just builds into it being Alia who is one of the worst of the worst of the worst.

And it just ties nicely into the vision he has later where we get to see her face. This for the book Chatter 34 is when he has the vision of the G had leading to death but unfortunately he realises there's no way to stop it again. It's actually also a segment from Children of June that seems to play off this as well during Chapter 62. I am paraphrasing this here but it says the water we have spread on the sand is blood. I stood upon the sand and I saw a beast arise from that sand and the head upon that beast was God.

That is obviously you know referencing the Bible and the last bit especially reminded me of Paul approaching the temple and the sandworm coming out of the dunes behind him. But again it all makes us feel like a juggernaut which everyone is unable to slow down. Either way depending on the case and in the book this was around the time that they had their first son later Paul is then taken out to ride the worm and we can see that Chanie has a blue band cloth in her hair now which is part of Fremen culture. This shows that she is in love with a man from the tribe and is basically sort of the Fremen's version of an engagement ring. Still got to take him to a june and says this line comes from the book along with the scene where she shakily gives him her own hooks and says they've never failed.

Paul obviously disregards this though as he knows that there's a crowd there and that he needs to appear like he's the best there is on the very first try. Chanie is obviously pissed because though this is said as a joke she knows that Paul will try and out do their expectations. In the book though in Paul's mind this is a task that he has to carry out because in his mind this will make him qualify for the 20th of the journey. That will mean he can go to the south and carry out the next part of his journey but for the film he kind of isn't willing to go there yet. In the book we learn that Paul is still wrestling with the jee-had which is actually affecting his foresight.

He knows that if he accepts it there'll be less paths so therefore his foresight will be stronger. This may even be why he accepts it in the end because he knows he needs to hone his skills in order to win. Well so if you see a whim being called to make it that's because they make out a spice. Make out a spice son and make out a spice to me balls. They're wiped out though and the planets turn into a paradise and it shows that everything comes with a cost.

Even the quest for utopia, the chat to the end is with a whim approaching and the Fremen gas being because they've never seen a whim that big before. That then takes us to chapter 42 which is basically a brief intermission with Alia. She's scaring adults and acting weird and basically knows things that she shouldn't. She laughs at the adults' adult jokes, knows which babies belong to which parents understands things she shouldn't, always subscribes and basically has a very creepy aura about her. She apparently even got another baby to stop crying and add a sea-etch.

They tend to let them just keep going and going and going. They see that as them getting all their crying done when they're kids so that when they grow up they don't waste water. The chat is sent as heavily around Jessica as well and also talks about some of the customs out of the sea-etch. She accepts coffee from a stranger and thinks this is the only place in the universe she can just accept a drink without scanning it for poison. She also talks about how the sea-etch has a sort of oneness where everyone kind of senses the feelings of the tribe.

This is given to them by the spice and there's an extra sensory factor to the whole thing. She doesn't even ask for the coffee either and she just thinks about it and someone brings it. At this point in the book we learn they've also been there for two years and Harry talks about how she's stayed with Paul. This is because her sons get special training and they're held in high regard as the children of Uso, but she and Paul aren't lovers. Everyone knows Paul and Chani are together but Jessica thinks about how marriage isn't something that will unite in neither houses.

Zen discussion of Paul writing the worm and how this will show he's one of the tribes strongest. This will mean that he has to challenge Stelgar as a zelida and that by forever customs he must call him out if he doesn't he'll be seen as being afraid and therefore won't be respected. Jessica knows losing him while we can the tribe as well and it's kind of a danger that hangs off of Paul's ascension. Anyway back to the ride and we see Paul with a thumper. In the book we learn Stelgar prepared this himself and it's just another thing he's done to help him.

Paul waited on the sand outside the gigantic maker's line of approach. I must not wait like a smuggler impatient and jittering. He reminded himself. I must be part of the desert. The thing was only minutes away now filling the morning with the friction hissing of its passage.

It's great teeth within the cabin circle of its mouth spread like some enormous flour. Spice odour from it dominated the air. Sitting atop the dune the novel then kind of gives his insight into his thoughts and the caution that Chani gave him. You must think like a patch of sand. Hide beneath your cloak and become a little june in your very essence.

Slowly she scanned her eyes and listening. Watching for the signs he had been taught. He then thinks about this as he calls the old man of the desert with the movie saying this is an old maker. A grandfather worm. In the bark we learn that the more worms age the larger they grow and their body changes too.

It explains that the ridges and flaps get bigger so you can instantly identify the other ones. The rider must then measure their length and for every meter of its diameter they have to give themselves half a meter's distance to avoid its vortex. They then see the worm sign and initially react like it's a storm and it's only upon seeing the june break that they realize it's something bigger. The idea of this moment being almost like a religious tale I was in highlight in the next

shot when we cut to mural at the temple. Though this is something all the fremen do. I did take this painting as possibly being something that tells the prophecy. For us an amateur still guard is in the movie. The book is a wee bit different.

Don't know why you can't hear it. That is still guard knocking him down a couple of pedestals and he says that 13 year olds do better and if the worm had have turned then it would have crushed him. I like the idea of the movie that still guards beside it and it just furthers his belief. Jessica uses this to her advantage and sees the legends embellished. Even the messenger here is passing on the idea he's conquered it the biggest worm ever seen and whether that's the case or not it is something Jessica can push.

He tells the others to go share the word and it will spread Paul's message so people wait for his coming. At his point she also has tattoos on her face and this vision of her was seen in a vision during part 1 which also predicted the birth of Alia. Huge shoutouts to ghost in the egg shell on reddit as well but breaking down waddily symbols transite 2 and they actually all have their own meaning. They are I must not fear. Be it is a mind killer and the verse had a company sit.

With NC Jessica getting her own vision when talking to Alia. She discusses going south and we see a figure in the desert. Rather than walking away like the one that Paul saw this one is walking towards the camera. Paul shadows his arrival at the temple and this is why Jessica decides to go there. Then finally see Alia more fully formed in the womb and that baby is evil.

That is an evil baby. Paul and Chani then get it on and Paul swears to only be with her. Deep down though he knows this is in the case and that he only plays to marry Errolan. He must embrace the idea he's the chosen one even if he might not believe in himself. Do you think at this point in the film as well that Paul is really trying to be genuine and not leading the Fremen?

Well did play things differently he clearly wasn't thinking that way there. He does seem pretty not at Jessica. She says she can tell when you lie. Tell her that's because our mother keeps spreading dangerous tales. It's not a prophecy.

It's a story that you keep telling but it's not their story it's yours. I do think Paul's heart seems to be with Chani though but even the unborn Alia knows Errolan's the only play. She says you're blinded by love and she reminds you that you must reserve your hand for the most strategic alliance. Everyone, absolutely everyone will accept for Chani. But everyone is trying to use Paul in some way to help me their goals.

Be it's still got wanting him to fulfill the prophecy or Jessica and Alia needing him to become the Emperor that will basically after their own ends. Jessica does rationalize it though as it gives the Fremen something to help Paul but all it's doing is manipulating a population. We gave them something to hope for. Let's not hope. We then hear Alia's voice for the first time through Jessica.

I'll be waiting for you. All of us. She holds out her powers slowly taking over her and that this little unborn baby with a personality of a thousand old ladies is wanting to come out to a kingdom her family already controlled. She is a evil baby. She walks off really really creepily and though it's just the sand walking that's not to attract the womb.

It's just something other whirly about this whole big Paul then sees Jessica's face in a vision. And again technically this is also Alia's as the babies inside her body. So look even though I'm interpreting things in a way they might not be I do think that's the case here and I know the movie is also about misinterpreting things. Then see Jessica heading south with her getting a royal aid to cover her again shows how she's placed herself above the rest of the group and cements how she's thrust away into position of power. Chapter 40 talks about Jessica and Alia going south but they handle it a bit differently to the movie.

We have Paul basically going through a vision of them going but again he doesn't know if it's the future of the past. We then go to an attack on a spicety pole which leads to Rabanne and his forces spying the Fremen. 80% of their crops being lost and Rabanne must stop the Fremen otherwise otherwise you'll face the consequences. This is a really really important battle for Paul as well as it cements his legend and makes him more than a man. We see how the fear of him is spread and even get a soldier vomiting as they head into the fight.

I love the scene though and it's some of the bits and part one which will based off the fight the Valcaries from Apocalypse now. It's just so many great little touches like the pilot lenses transitioning to being shaded when the sun hits and Rabanne snapping the other pilots neck. This is ultimately why they lose though because the Harknins react out of anger and fear clouds all their judgment and thus they're unable to fully think strategically because as they say fear is the mind killer. The sun and desert environments just are also something that they just aren't built for. The home of Gedi Prime has a black sun and thus they aren't used to this one and have to wear these clunky helmets and visors which lower their visibility.

When they hit the mist some even do friendly fire and it's because they just aren't good at these kinds of environments. As they slowly head out it also kind of reminds me a lot of footage of soldiers in Vietnam. Watch a lot of documentaries on the wall and something I always took out for me is how they said the US weren't really trained for it. They said in general that whenever you're training soldiers you tend to train them based off the last war. So for example they never fought in the jungle and World War Two was basically all in Europe and a nice long field so that's basically what they trained for.

The lovely fields of Europe. The jungles are totally different environment though and I think that's why the soldiers are so not matched in the dust clouds. The Fremen attack silently and use the mist as cover which makes Rebanis forces retreat. It will also show us how Reban will do anything to flee death while the Fremen will happily give up their lives in service of their leader. Actually have a big conversation about this in the Godfather II and talk about how the Cuban revolutionaries will ultimately win as they're actually willing to dive for their course.

When faced with a fair fight the Harkenans will run and this means that they'll always lose their ground. Assassin almost gets Rebanis equally away and though he escapes with his life we see how word of Mardib has now spread to the Emperor. My theme is of no Fremen Prophet. We join him with Iraland and Helmahine as they try and figure out what to do. This is the next part of this strategy and the Emperor will let the war continue until things reach breaking point.

He'll arrive as a peacekeeper which is what he plans to do at the end. Both Iraland and Helmahine see the signs that it's clearly Paul though and Iraland actually proves this off as the Benis most valuable student. Iraland sees signs of their manufactured prophecy and it's actually kind of backfired on the group. Initially it was set up so the Benis could control the Fremen but now it's being used against the Emperor. They'll say realize they have to adapt and change plans and discuss their other prospect and fate.

We are Ben and Jesteried. We don't hope we plan. Paul is not our only prospect. From here we then jump to Giddy Prime where we meet fate for the first time. Played by Austin Butler the characters are far cry from how he's described in the book.

With the rest of the harken ends he had long-winged bits of curly red hair but I love the bold look they give to the people. A lack of eyebrows makes him seem a bit off and then he's got these three cannibal brides who are also new for the movie. And sexy, sexy, cannibal ladies with black teeth. According to Irony True, both Bill Scars' God and Barry Keohin were considered for the role with a former of course having a familiar relationship to the real-life Baron actor. That didn't stop Butler though and he underwent vocal training to sound more in line with Stellen.

And probably Lettuce lack Ilvers which I know was difficult. Am I being funny? Is this not my voice? Gaining £25 of muscle for the movie he then apparently researched Gary Oldman and the professional and he led you for his performance as Chocca. He wanted to play him as a cross between Snake and Mick Jagger and Jagger himself was actually attached to play Fade at one point.

That was in the Jonarowski version that we talked about in a poll on Breakdown and that also says that Michael Sadoop was attached to play him as well. He just so happens to be the uncle of the Sadoop who also pops up in this film. Sting was asked to come me off of this movie as well and then we turned it down and he still attended the premiere. Yeah his version is far more psychotic than Sting's one with him killing his servants just to test the shot of his blade. This is then fed to his women and yet everyone's clearly terrified of him.

We then watch as the gladiator is a drug with this being pulled from Chatter 35. Again that takes place on Fate's birthday and the Baron's throwing a turn in his name. He's declared the entire event a holiday and we follow Count Benring and his wife Margot as they move through the city. Now we know that Benring was going to be a character in the movie and Tim Blake Nelson actually got cast as the character. How about his entire role was cut along with Stephen McKinley Henderson's Aladdin film The Few Scenes is Howard but he too ended up on the cutting room floor.

In the book though how it really took a focus here though and he had a hand in why the gladiator wasn't drugged which I think would have been something we see him do in those cutscenes. The Baron arrogantly thinks that Howard won't betray him though as the Duke's dead and there's nowhere for him to go. As for the Count Margot the book is them arriving in Chatter 35 but them secretly being there on a mission to collect Fate's Seed. They walk through Giddy Prime which to me I don't know. I've always read it as a medieval town that had some modern structures and places.

Sort of like if there are King's Landing God and Update who witnessed the walls being painted and banners everywhere, however this glamour isn't shared in every aspect of the city. You notice rubbish and brown walls reflected in dog puddles showing the murky side that's in the way and kind of always there when you're dealing with a harkening. One passage that always stuck with me that was as in the Baron's Blue World keep there was a beautiful perfection but the Count has laid he saw the price being paid. Gods everywhere and weapons with that special she and I told the trained eye they were in regular use. But checkpoints for a routine passage from area to area even within the keep.

The servants reveal their military training and the way they walked and the set of their shoulders in the way their eyes watched and watched and watched. The entire chapter is basically about the Count scaring the Baron with the Empress Wrath and he hints that he may charge him with treason. He also brings up how he hasn't approved of his A yet and the Dead is the Fades up to the task. Baron's furious though as he initially had free choice of air and it makes him think that he's lost the Empress Fade. Fade is also pretty arrogant as well and says he'll dedicate the match to Margot.

Ben Ring is obviously a bit annoyed that this is why he's just letting his wife but he lets it pass. The pair actually kind of talk in their own secret language which kind of sounds like a humming they talk like this. They touch upon how the universe has an outdated view of things and that they might not understand their relationship. He's completely up into his wife's situation because he understands the machinations of the Quiddes-S-Hadorac program. He was actually a contender himself which we'll talk more about later in the video but the guy basically cucks himself purely for the great mission of the Jesterist.

Ben Ring was actually also the emperor's confidant as a child and he's seen as being the character's only true friend. If you pick up some of the prequel stuff or even like some of these comics they do have the characters in them when they're growing up and stuff. You've got a young de-clayer and that as well and he just fills in some stuff of their relationship and friendship. That takes us into the gladiatorial battle. Fade is brought black and white blades which we learn more of in the book.

Howling Fade actually decide not to drug the slave and this is so that the slave masters blamed also change the blades about as normally the white one carries the poison. Around the fight we can also see these figures in all black whose head pieces look like hammerhead shocks. The barbs they use are also covered in poison and there's not really a way for the gladiators to win. But the reason that they don't drug the fire in the film is because the Baron basically wants to test fate. In the book though it is Fade's choice as he's well aware that there's rumours of the fighters being drugged and this makes the crowd get bored.

So what he's doing is basically appearing like more than a man in order to win around support from his people. It's very similar to what Paul is doing as well but he's actually pulling up the prophecy without resorting to cheating. We also learn that in case things go wrong there's a keyword planted in the soldier's mind that will make him collapse upon hearing a weird scum. This is something we also learn has been implanted in Fade and Jessica tries to tell Paul this in the final fight. How about Paul refuses to use it and again it just highlights the difference between the pair in the book.

During a fight Fade notices a hawk symbol on him and he takes a stance which shows he's not a usual gladiator. He can't spot this sign on his forearm and this is a tattoo that denotes the house. In the book the gladiator also asks if Fade's prepared to die and the gladiators don't usually issue the challenge. So he's clearly a trained fighter. He's named Lieutenant Landville and he actually appeared in Junepot 1 as one of the attraction soldiers.

He actually gets the other hand in the book and grabs the white blade believing that it's poisoned. He's still managed to fight back. It's an absolutely stunning battle in the film though and the stark black and white contrast here is something I think wowed a lot of people the first time they saw this. This was shot using specialized cameras, cinematographer Greg Frazier wanting people to feel like it was monochrome and binary and every single decision was simply black and white. So life or death no matter what and every person in the orbit of Harkenin could die at any moment.

Even the fireworks which would normally spray colour they're completely stripped down to just being black and white. At the other 12 inch mark we can also see the black sun and the baron coming out into the balcony. I love how he's in colour under the shade and then as he passes into the sun's light it then turns to white. This is done beautifully with the benidetzer as well and we see their cloaks turn from black to white under the harsh light. Something you might notice as well is that all the female servants bow their heads to the baron.

This is more apparent when Fay goes down later and we get a room with them where we see the men don't do this at all. This builds up the last film as well where he basically did an alan degenerus and made it so his staff were not allowed to make eye contact with him. In the book the baron likes young boys and he just completes his regards women so the ostracised and force to exist solely to serve him hence why they're not allowed to look at him. The black and white that runs throughout it also nicely contrasts the orange glow of arrakis and you get everyone looking the same it creates the idea that everyone's been stripped of their identity. You might also notice that the arena floor is triangular which is completely different to the circular colour seems to roam.

This forces fighters into the tikonas and takes away the open sort of more relaxed environment of it. Is that the right way? No. It makes everything look brutal and it's clear a lot of this stuff was inspired by the designs of a chalky get. He actually worked on the original dune and the plans of it are outlined in this book.

He did stuff for the sandworms which we can see here and also created this harken and chair. He also designed elements of the harken and armor and though this wasn't used it eventually made its way to alien and was the basis of the xenomorph and you do kind of feel that as you look at GEDY PRIME. It makes this all an unforgettable scene and it's such a great part of the film. I remember seeing the synamax as well and watching the arena open up just really took my breath away. They quickly spot one of the fighters as in drug and talk about cancelling the fight but the Baron wants to see Fade put in the test and whether he's really worthy of the throne.

You also see the shield flicker with Fade which shows that he's not really fighting fair. This ends up being one of his weaknesses in the fight with Paul as well as he's not used to fighting without them for a lot of his experience I'd say. So what's at this point that Margo says, this is something Jessica said during chapter 25 with her wondering if she's part of a bigger scheme that they're just simply not aware of. That is of course the case and every character is part of some bigger machination. I've connected the two dots.

You didn't connect shit but I've connected them. Well even Dr. UA thinks about this as well and just before it's death he contemplates the vastness of this whole thing. Fade then ends off taking off his shield to play to the crowd and even wings up landville when he misses the shot. He also tells the ring guy to stand back and ends up chuking it out with a guy unarmed.

They're not allowed to trade it. Which is also something that he says to Paul at the end. He's allowed to trade it. Shows how psychotic he is and how his response is always the same. There's also that level of respect there because Fade views combat and bearings someone isn't on it.

This is why he removes the shield and doesn't run and hide when he realizes he's not charged. In the park he shares that respect too because the fighter says, one day one of us will get you. He knows he shouldn't be able to speak because he's poisoned and he thinks he's a trady's maybe more than men. Which throws him off further when facing Paul. In the park the crowd then shan't for him to cut off his head but he gets a proper burial as a sign of respect.

In the film he then confronts the Baron and threatens to drown him but he promises him a rakus. If he can conquer that he could be made empress and it's all about playing to Fade's ego. The great houses will also rise against the emperor if the treachery's exposed and this will make way for someone else. Fade rother. Markinenen.

When the park this is slightly different as Fade actually tries to kill his uncle. He does this by sending a boy to seduce him who has a poison needle buried in his thigh. The Baron will stroke and caress him and end up pricking the needle. The Baron asks why he didn't just do it himself but Fade says he was taught to never get his hands dirty. That's the only way to pass the truth saiyan and it's similar to what the Baron didn't part one.

But the Baron says he won't kill Fade even after he discovers this as he's impressed by his treachery and that he also doesn't waste good material. He decides to make a deal with Fade and says that if he ceases to attempt on his life that one day he'll step aside and Fade can take his place. However he will still punish him. Fade actually has a thing for the servant ladies that he uses for his own pleasure and the Baron makes him go to the slave quarters and kill all the women there. So yeah, not really a punishment for Fade there.

Bit of film though we then go to the night and watch his morgos situations fade. The scene is shot incredibly well too and on our first breakdown I did say this was a bit like an aftershave commercial which I stand by. It's almost kind of predatory in nature with it painted like morgos luring Fade in. Feeling it's the gum jubaru to his neck which as we know is the way to test people. The bending actually made fair amount to the women in and you can't be allowed losing off the screen.

Fade even questions how she got by the guards which she does seem puzzled by. How did you get past the guards? The guards. May I ask what are you doing here? It's the question!

Let's imagine that she used the voice and we get the sense that she's doing that now to reel him in. You can know it's the background shifting behind Fade as well, almost as if he's in a hypnotic stance. Before he knows it, he's in a completely different room and it's at his point that he's back into her room. This is where she then pulls out the needle but Fade actually enjoys it. The box is described as creating unimaginable pain but if that's what you're into then it's gonna be like sticking your hand in someone else's box.

Just before this Fade also says that he dreamed of Margar the Night before and potentially character has prescience and again he is the contender to be the quiz at Tarrac. In the book the way things were meant to happen is that Jessica would have a daughter and then this child would marry Fade. Those two would then come together to finally secure the Harkonnen and the Trades bloodline and this would finally lead to the Quiz at Tarrac. Through this child the Benny would then have control and they'd finally have one of their own on the throne. This would mean that they were finally in charge but Jessica's plans changed it all up.

We then jumped to the morning of and then that Fade actually killed his mother. I think he was likely manipulated into this by the Baron as her loving presence may have steered him away from a life of death. The lack of a mother also juxtaposes Paul's relationship with Jessica and whereas he has a maternal figure, Fade has a paternal one on the Baron. The Baron is a twisted vision of a father though and it all explains why Fade's the way he is. We then learn that Margar was given the Benny daughter, possibly in the hopes that they could try the Quiz at program from another side.

He now has you requested. This child actually grew up to be Marie Fenring who was trained to be an assassin in the novel Paul of June. Fade of course never had a relationship with his daughter but even if he'd stuck around and doubt he would have cared. Had Jessica been raised by the Baron then she might have turned into an assassin like Marie. I do think though that it is sharing that Jessica and the Baron never interact in these films as I would have loved to have seen what the family dynamic was.

Parentage is often portrayed as being transactional in June and that's why the Benny have no problem bearing children to men they don't love. The Benny Jester etch is seen as another man they can hook their clothes into and Helen says We then see as the Baron appoints Fade as the governor and instructs him to Read me others, friend and demon. But that actually improvises the kiss and I love the cheeky little look that he gives to the camera. The Harken enforces their mount up and head out on a military parade and from here we cut to Paul's staring through his finder. But this is where that book part three begins and we have Paul and his company, Dunein, through the desert in the group that note was adopted and Paul thinks about how it could be smugglers.

He wants to capture them and teach them a lesson and this is when they decide to make a trap. The next chapter begins with the Horizon being scandered through binoculars and given a hearing that spice has been found. The round it's in has ridges around it which gives it shielding and this means they'll be saved from the wimps. He thinks it's an unlikely place for an ambush as well and that the Harken enes won't come out this far. However, he worries that the Fremen are more strategic now and that they've been exhibiting far more dangerous tactics.

Even things about how they're doing things that only the best of the best fighters in the universe, no sir. Which kind of highlights how Paul's been leading them. This tune here is also based off the MS-Dost theme except they slow it down for the film. They originally had a scene like this in the first film but ultimately it was cut. In the story he plays it to bring comfort to a dying soldier and chapter 28 and I'm so glad it comes across here.

A nice way to reintroduce the character and the instrument is such a big part of Goony and who he is as a person. Great seeing it. Based up as if the ballast is seen as an evolution of the instrument and it also contains nine strings from Paul reached the sea edge. He also noticed Jammus had one during chapter 24 and the book said it reminded him of Goony. Since Jammus was supposed to be a mentor as well I do wonder if there was a timeline where the pair bonded through this instrument coming across his triggerless senses and then he scanned the feature for a timeline in which the pair would be reunited.

There were actually somewhere he killed Halic and this was down to him believing that Jessica was a traitor. Now they skip over this in the movies but several characters suspect it was her who let down the shields of Arakin. They knew that UA had conditioning and therefore thought it had to be her. If you think about it as well the house got ambushed and then all the survivors scattered to the sands. They went in contact, didn't really get any updates so people like Goony and Howard had no idea what happened and basically try to think about who had done this atrocity on the Atreides.

Now chapter 28 explains what happened when Goony joined the smugglers. Though he could have fled the planet he chose to stay behind to try and take down the Harkenins. Facing them head on would be futile but he disrupts their spice harvesting which destroys Ravan's reputation. In the book we learn that when Goony was a kid his sister was sold at the Harken and pleasure houses and Ravan took joint abusing her. Eventually she was killed and Goony was almost murdered as well.

He was given the scar across the space by Ravan and in the end was saved from the slave pits by the Duke. He swore to serve the house no matter what. Chapter 43 is where the ambush happens and we see the majority of it through Goony's eyes stay strike with rockets and he notices a small fighter who stays crouched almost as if he's one with a sand. Like Vaid with Lamville he too notices the stands and can tell this person's clearly had training. This is of course revealed to be Paul and Goony shocked by this moment.

No one has seen his surprise, I'm sure Paul's still alive but he also now looks just like the Duke. Even things for a second that it might be him and it shows how the sun's becoming the father. How about he notices something he's never seen in the Atreides before which is a leathery skin and a squint in the eyes. It's also something else that he can't quite put his finger on which to me always into that the Harkenins. He comes to destroy the spice factory and Paul simply says leave it to Goony thinks his dad would have been concerned about the dead men and it shows how different he is to the Duke.

The ambush is really creative in the movie though and they use magnetic minds buried amongst the sand. The crew's completely outmatched and it's far more efficient than the similar attack we saw earlier. The Fremen then start to rush him but it's Paul who gets the drop. I recognize your footsteps. Paul next.

This calls back to the first film where he said this at several points. Tell this you by your footsteps Goony how are you. There Paul was picked up by Goony after the spice factory was swum by worm but now Paul's got the upper hand as they're the ones doing the swarming. The shows how the roles are reversed and how Paul's now the one with power in the desert. Goony also calls him young pup and the pair hug it out before Goony explains what happened after Arakin.

In the book his men are actually furious they've made peace as half of their men were killed by the Fremen. How about Goony says it was a mistake and that they shouldn't add to it. Paul then explained that he allowed people to think he was dead for his own protection which Goony said he would have come looking for him. The book then has Goony saying I thought I had nothing left but revenge. How about seeing Paul makes and realize that there is more to life.

Now you might notice that he's obviously been on the planet as long as Paul has but his eyes on blue. This is because the smugglers are able to get food from our world that isn't laced with spice and they live by the rule don't get high up your own supply. He sees Paul as being touched with the spice brush and also wrestles with the fact that a lot of his friends have died at the hands of Muadib. He also notices that Paul refers to the Fremen as us and that he speaks to if he's one of them. To him it shows he's got native but Goony also refers to the Sadaqar and Harkonans as off-worlder so Hallek himself realizes that he might have done that as well.

But yeah they talk about the legends of Muadib and some say that he even takes the skin of Harkonans. This is in order to simply make a drum kit and he and his men have feared this figure for years. I've heard many stories about Muadib. None of them pretty. In the book he then confronts Jessica and sneaks into her quarters so he can put a night to her back.

He's been a nosy serious and he utters the phrase you thought you could escape which Paul comes in and sees the scene and Goony says that he once pulled her here to admit that she was the traitor. He also stipulates that if he does anything other than speaking him on her own voice then she'll instantly feel an eye-pinsight of her. It's sort of a makeshift gomge of our test and the idea of moving and being destroyed for it is something I'll talk more about in just a bit. Paul entails him it was UA and that he knows his mother's innocent. He even says he heard her sobbing in the night which Jessica didn't realize he was awake for.

She tears up and they explain that Harkonans rule with beer but they're a tradies rule with love. Because of this they didn't think anyone would betray them but ultimately the juke was wrong. Immediately Goony realizes that making him think the juke's love was a tradies just simply a Harkonan trick and he drops a blade and breaks down in tears. He begs that they take his life and Jessica asks why people keep asking them to strike down those they love. She knows that he was honoring the juke and forgives him and the pair then chalking up to him is understanding.

Jessica then thinks about the path of danger that she's put Paul on and how every day someone or something can kill him. She then tells Paul to marry who he wants and that he should try and be happy rather than living up to what's expected of him. In the movie though the pair just have a conversation where Paul says he could lead to the death of billions of gains power. The fear within him is clearly becoming stronger and this is actually touched upon during chapter 43. Most of the timelines with Goony have favorable outcomes but that with victory comes a lot of himself.

They spell out a bit in the book where Paul thinks about what happened to Stelgar and his men. In that instant Paul saw how Stelgar had been transformed from the Fremen naive to a creature of the Lyssen al-Gaiib, a receptacle for all the disobedience. It was a lessening of the man and Paul felt the ghost wind of the juke had in it. I've seen a friend become a wish of her he thought, in a rush of loneliness Paul glances around the room noting how proper and on review his guards had become in his presence he sensed the subtle prideful competition among them. He's hoping for notice from a deep more deep from whom all blessings flow he thought and it was the bitterest thought of his life.

They sensed that I must take the throne he thought but they cannot know I do it to prevent the ji-hat. You have the power to avenge your father and you're afraid to use it. Spice open my mind, Gurney. I then foresee things. If I go south all my visions lead to horror.

Billions of corpses scattered across the galaxy. All dying because of me. Because you lose control. Because I gain it. Setting up 10s, Channy then questions while a Goony can adapt to their ways and normally they would have just left somebody like this for dead.

That's a lot of water. I think she sees him as someone who just wants to crop her love and ultimately Gurney's influence leads Paul back towards his juke dump, the pair then bond, James Bond, with Gurney sitting on a june with Paul like Channy did. There she led him away from sticking power but Gurney's kind of the devil on his shoulder. This is also shot at night whereas that was in the daytime which cements the darker path that Harlek will put him on. And here I am.

He then tells him about the family of tommicks which is something that gives him more power. Now in the book they do do things slightly differently as they're pulled once in place the water of life above a spice mass which will destroy all whims on the planet. Thus they'll not be able to manufacture spice and this will mean that all the houses implode. This dies back to the idea of how someone who can destroy thing is the one who controls it. It's sort of like another Gondrevar test in which if they move or strike then Paul can destroy them.

He who can destroy a thing has a real control of it. He basically has them at his mercy just like how he was when it came to that test. Paul using the nukes actually breaks the atomic convention which was first mentioned during chapter 6. Nukes were a big worry in the 60s when the book was written and like real life conventions started to be put in place. Herbert used a lot of fears around Hiroshima and Nagasaki which was still within very recent memory.

The comics were banned outright in the universe and any planet that used them would be quickly destroyed by other atomics. Are that planet still stockpiled them? Just like how most countries on earth have their own atomic weapons every planet kind of needed one to use as a deterrent. So every house kind of sticks to the convention but they also have them encased things that ever get really bad. Though Paul ends up using them in the end.

Chapter 47 has him stipulating he used them on a mountain. Not other people. He said this was simply blocking the way and thus technically didn't use them against his fellow man. Technically so he didn't really break the convention and it's not like the houses would destroy Arrakis either. How that this action actually leads to further nukes being used against Paul.

In Joomisaya an atomic known as a stone burn has used which completely burns Paul's eyes. He then has to use his prescience to get around but this causes conflict with the bremin. They have a tradition where blind people must leave the tribe and head into the desert as someone who's blind could slow the tribe down. How that they obviously want to keep all around so it kind of messes with their rules. This all pays off in the end which I won't spoil but Paul using the nukes here has very dire consequences.

He's also got a bunch of streams as well as an hour 42. Paul has a vision of one which has a blast at Boon's Channing. This short mirror is Paul and Jessica watching the destruction of Arrakis in the first film and it shows how his actions have led to further pain. In the book Paul also takes some sada car captive and he ends up letting them escape. This is so they can tell the emperor about him and spread his legend.

Gurney then points out the atomic hiding place which is so obvious that no one would ever look there. Look, Larry. Did you find it? I just looked for it. There's a lot of back and forth between him and Stell Gore and it also allows a reunion of the no country for all men cast.

Now they weren't actually ever on screen together for that movie so it's just nice seeing the actors actually interacting. In the book they have instant respect for each other but I like that they kind of positioned as different guides up all sides. In the book Paul has told Stell got several stories about Gurney and he appreciates Stell Gore protecting him. As they head to the bunker we can also see the Atreides talk on the vault door. This is only accessible through Paul's DNA and we see an expansive stockpile stretching as far as this can see.

Also one day if Paul putting his fingers in the door holes was a visual reference to the box and how he put his hand into that. Both were necessary steps for him with him having to reach this in order to gain an X level of power. That was power. This goes against what Paul just promised Channing the tent though in that he wasn't really apt to power. How about we know this is something that he must seize otherwise he and the Fremen will lose from here.

We then cut to Erlan narrating what it's like in the south. We get a good look at the letters here with it being written in the desert alphabet. This is based on the Latin alphabet with it being used by the royals and elite. Jessica's then carried into the temple and we see how the water of life's taken. This also shows us that the worms can't survive in water and that the idea of an oceanic paradise will leave them extinct.

So everything comes with a cost. Though initially the Fremen want this paradise to come, the sequels show that there's a feeling of regret. Just like the Atreides turn soft on Caledane, this warrior race also misses the days of conflict. How about Stell got still has his dream and in chapter 34 he talks about how they will trap the dunes beneath the grass. Stell got says that no man shall want for water and because of all the likes and pawns they build up the moment where Paul is headed by to Caledane in part 1 and he placed his hand in the ocean.

The water of life is extracted and though the woman here says the rituals forbidden for men, Jessica still forces her way. Let's try. We then go to Paul lying asleep which reflects how he was first introduced at the start of part 1. This is him having another dream of Chani in which he sees the explosion in the desert. Though it's all sort of fear of nukes, it could be foreshadowing the destruction of Siette Boer.

The way Chani looks here as well is also online with the final shot we get at the end. Both of the vision and image symbolise our relationship being broken and yeah I did wonder if that's what Denny was doing. Paul then awakens to the sound of explosions and Chani standing on a dune just like the vision. In the next chapter it's completely destroyed and we see as the pool insides decimated. This is everything they've been working for and all their ancestors are wiped out making the attack feel even more harrowing.

The Hawk can undo this with him using good old fashioned artillery and in the book the Baron talks about how this is such a genius play. The Baron could feel a distant chomping. A drum beat carried him through the ship's metal. Boom boom boom. Then who would think of reviving artillery in this day of shields?

The thought was a chuckle in his mind. Old fashioned artillery, genius. People had become so reliant on shields that they often didn't even consider just hitting something with explosives. Tomics had also been outlawed as well so most people just didn't even consider it. We really see the structures of power here though as fate literally gets robotic as his feet.

Going to the sea edge, we see a boy coming in blood, walking through the area, potentially playing off the death that would be brought forth by Paul's ascension. The war council is then called, and the leaders must gather with Paul, finally being forced to go south. Only leaders are allowed to speak as well, and Stellgar is willing to sacrifice himself so Paul can take his position. I must take white bliss. Shows how he's become a fundamentalist, and the dangers that also come with this.

Oh no, I think of all that Stellgar. I don't care what you believe, I believe. I feel like Stellgar is a common on this in general, as initially, we don't really take him seriously. We see him as a bit of a cheery, jockey guy, but in the end he ushes an annihilation. Outside with answers Paul touches the ground once more, echoing the shot when he finally left Caledan.

This is him saying farewell to the north, and embracing the next step in his journey like he did back then. This again plays into Paul's access to alternate timelines where Jammus was a mentor and friend, with highlights at his aversion, which he never took his life and didn't have to deal with the regret of taking his path. It shows his internal conflict and the lingering remorse over the peace that was denied. That's something he also won't get here, and he finally accepts that the south is where his future lies. Chani then says he will never lose her as long as he stays who he is, and in the end this is why she leaves.

She realizes he's lost his way and isn't the man she fell in love with. The caves then torch as the Harkenen forces arrive after reloading. She shackles hostage, and she sits there covered in Harkenen in blood. Refusing to talk, we learn she remains behind four. I don't know why, she remained behind, but she just did.

She dies obediently, and I think she represents the converted. Whereas once she saw Paul as an outsider, here she dies for his course. We then cut the Fremen going south, and Paul breaks off to go to the temple. He steers away from Chani without telling her, symbolizing how he's now turning his back on her in the Fremen. Taking the water of life, his vision here floods him with the faces of old women who are all those from down Jessica's line of Beniciseries.

A man taking this and surviving makes Paul infinitely wiser as well as he has access to not only the women in his family, but also the men. He then sees someone walking across the dunes, and eventually they arrive at the ocean. We then get a moment that's been murdered in June part three when Stilgar first sees the sea. Now this is off-first encounter with Alia who says, Playing off Paul's visions of Chani and Chapter part one. Paul is able to see her because she's connected to his bloodline through his mother, and thus he has access to this lineage and the personalities that infected her in the ritual.

Alia in the book actually talks about her gaining consciousness in the womb and says, One day I woke up, Alia said, it was like waking up from sleep, except that I could not remember going to sleep. I was in a warm dark place, and I was frightened. According to the half-listening voice of her daughter, Jessica remembered that day in the big cabin. When I was frightened, Alia said, I tried to escape, but there was no way to escape. Then I saw a spark, but it wasn't exactly me, comforting me.

Telling me that way that everything would be alright. That was my mother. Chapter 45 had the aftermath of Paul drinking the water of life with him being in a coma for three weeks. He did this because he built a p tolerance to spice, and his visions were getting dimmer and dimmer. But this unlocks much more prescience in a source material because he's out for so long, Jessica suspects he's been poisoned, and that there may be a traitor amongst the group.

Some Fremen even believe he's in a trance, and he's channelling his thoughts for the final battle. The guy is conked out so Jessica sends for Chani. This is how the whim gods to beat down the lion as he's unable to see Siona. Jumping miles in miles ahead, but that's just in case you're red, God Emperor of June. In the book, Chani then explains how Paul wakes up, and due to him being in the stage, he pours the water of life into his mouth and his body automatically converts it.

Wake him up and shake him out, and though he's conscious again, he isn't really the same. The movie actually plays things a lot more sinister with Jessica clearly weaponizing this to convince others of the prophecy. She even uses the voice on Chani because her nickname makes her another cog in the machine. She then cries, which again, the Fremen are trained not to do, and it hammers home the idea she's being controlled by someone else. The book doesn't have the tears, but to me this has a much more of an effect.

Jessica does this because it makes the others believe, and she knows it will quiet the dissenters. In the book, Jessica even converts the poison itself to give to Paul, but she is aware that it needs to come from Chani in order for the prophecy to seem real. Paul's change is then seen in his costume as well, with his hood and cape turning black. This makes him look similar to death. And one thing I haven't mentioned as well is that the hoods are actually padded and shielded, and this is done to help preserve Mysia.

Lovely sweat there. And those tubes also recover Mysia from the press as well, so we have this constant thing in the costumes. Sitting over the whim, Paul then talks about how the enemies surround them. He talks about how there's a narrow path, and we have seen Errolan walking through very tight corridors throughout the film. In this we then get a flashy film stabbing Fade, and he talks about how they're hocknits.

This is seen in the score itself, which now takes on the hocknits instead of being the bagpipes from the first film. This then takes us to chapter 45 in which he becomes the Quiz at Tannurac, and we see him arriving at the temple. He appears to be shot almost in black and white, which is again playing off his lineage tying back to Giddy Prime. Paul has now also replaced the people in his vision, which have often shown figures walking in front of him. Now though, Paul's walking towards the camera, and he's bringing death with him.

The fremen then move out the way as he heads through the crowd, and we get a bird's eye view of him surrounded by his followers. This makes them resemble grains of sand, which is something that Arrakis is of course covered in. Paul has come in as a disruptor though, and this is why he goes against the grain. You get that. Oh brother, this guy stitched!

The scene also contains the three things he'll alter, the women's behind him, the sand is being shifted, and the freven themselves are being moved out the way. This is also steeped in lots of religious imagery as well, with being very reminiscent of Jesus' arrival on Palm Sunday. Channy then becomes a dissenting voice in the crowd as she thinks the war will lead to the death of her people. This prophecy is how they enslave us! You're saying grab by Gurney, but it says, look, it's none of your business.

He then points out the score and says that it is, but this really shows that he's only after his own goals. Gurney is basically a shot at him that's stressed up like the fremon and sitting in their temple. He doesn't believe in the prophecy and wants Paul to simply use it to his advantage. This is so, the fremon will follow him as well, and he can lead their forces to get his revenge. In this video, I have kind of been shitting on the prophecy, and whether it's true or not, it is up for debate.

I think we've seen it time and time again, how it's being forced to fit how Paul uses his powers to make sure it comes true. Sure, you know, we can see several outcomes, but he's also nailing things down, so the one that's most beneficial is most likely to happen. Paul could easily just sacrifice himself and stop this juggernaut, and in doing so, he'd save billions and billions of lives. How about he just wants to survive, and will sacrifice them all so he gets to stay alive. Paul won't sacrifice anything around him, and he even refuses to take out still got, even though a Fremen Lord demands it.

The character should really be in an impossible situation where he has to choose between defeating the Harkenins or saving his friends. How that Paul completely shuts his idea down and shows straight away why he's doing things for himself. You're thinking I'm stupid enough to deprive myself of the best of us. He then says, do you smash your knife before a battle, which is a line that comes directly from the book. Paul is where the majority of this goes down, and he basically brags about how he's the best of the best of the best of the best.

So you get that joke. I say this as a fact, not meaning it is a boast or challenge. There isn't a man here, still got included who could stand against me in single combat. This is still got his own admission. He knows it, so do you all.

In the book, this was merely a pantomime by Paul and still got, who was actually in on it and had planned this all beforehand. I do like the idea that this was just more manipulation by them, but I think the scene of the film hits really hard as well. And it's probably my favourite scene in these first two movies. Jessica then thinks about how he's using the voice, however Paul needs to do something more. He's using the voice well, Jessica thought.

But that's enough for these people. They could insulation against vocal control. You must catch them also with logic. This leads to them saying this is not their way to which Paul simply replies, I'm pointing the way! Which is a line that comes directly from the book.

I don't know which one to pick up, they're both yeah, but that's why I keep changing them. Paul basically does what they did with Gurney earlier though, and argues that they need to stop fighting amongst themselves and turn this rage on their enemies. He argues that he could take out the tri-leaders one by one, and that might prove that he's the best of them all. But that won't really leave the Fremen in a good place. He says their additions just destroy the best of them, and instead of fighting each other, they should unite against the Harknins.

This is also why he has no qualms breaking the rules about speaking, and it's just another way in which he's destroying Fremen tradition. Symbolically shows that he's tearing down the ways of the Fremen, and in doing this, replacing it with himself. Personally, I also believe he saw Jenny's death, which is something that plagues him through Amaziah. He thought this was a way to save her, and by marrying Errolan, it also keeps her alive longer. But the crowd clearly don't deal with the changes that well off the bat, and all stand up to face him.

Rather than fighting them all though, he basically does some cold reading on a guy he singled out. He's clearly someone who can handle himself, and is also potentially doubting Paul. But by convincing him, everyone follows suit. It's what Jessica did as well, but on a much smaller scale, however it has much more impact. Paul tells the story of the guy's grandma who damaged your eye during a crossing.

Now how he did this may have been through his new abilities. The water of life gave him access to the genetic memory of the woman in his lineage, and one of them may have been irrelevant. The book also explains that he sees conversations playing out millions of ways, and basically basically gets a dialogue tree to help with the best outcome. Even picking out the specific soldier is something he may not have done down an alternate pathway. Just him saying that their mother's warned him of his coming shows that he's also embracing the Beni Jesteritz manipulation.

Throughout the film, he's constantly talked about how it's been used to sway the group, but now he's happy to use it to his advantage. How that? He also mentions Arrakis' prior name. This is what completes the scene, and reminds them he can turn this world back to a paradise. Telling them to fear the moment, he controls them through something he himself knows as the mind-killer.

This stops you from thinking straight, and as people don't question this moment. You can completely see why Paul sways their minds as well, and he promises that he'll lead them to a green paradise. This is something the Fremen have wanted for so long, and they now believe it's possible. Paul then accidentally, accidentally kind of becomes like a leader of a cult here, and he weaponizes religion for his own ends. Promises are something that religious leaders and politicians use as well, and they'll constantly talk about how following them will lead to salvation.

But does it? Well, in this moment we instantly understand what it's like to be part of a cult, as we even feel like we're getting swept up in his doctrine. Shows the depths of Paul's manipulation, and Chinese the only one who sees through the act. We're also aware that this will lead to the death of billions, but we're so invested in Paul's journey that we want him to win. He then pulls out his father's ring, and he made this show what the most important thing to him is in this moment.

He's finally accepting the burden of being a duke, and that he wants nothing other than to rule. I don't think it's any coincidence as well that we then could have gurney, who is so glad that he's finally getting revenge for him. In the book, Paul has had his sworn to wear until he was ready to lead, and his ring then allows him to create the seal to contact the emperor. Paul then challenges him to come to her act. We then could have the emperor receiving it, and the Benny basically saying there is only one way for the Corino family to survive.

Iraland must accept Paul as a husband, and then the house will live on. Iraland also has an amazing headpiece here, which is based off medieval knights and some depictions of mother Mary. As the headpieces cover her more and more throughout the movie, it also shows how she's slowly losing her power. Thus, she'll end up like one of the Benny who are completely covered and follow orders without any choice in the matter. They have truly lost themselves in following this order, and this is something that Iraland's information reflects.

We then see the emperor's ship entering the atmosphere, and this is simply to his message to one which came to Caledane in part one. Paul then looks towards a dust cloud which is referred to as being a grand with a storm. However, he says it's his storm, and the harsh sign in it pelt away the shields and slowly wears them down. The thought is also can't fly in the storm, so this means that they can't mount up their gunships. Chapter 46 then continues in this moment, and Paul scanning the basin of Arachene.

He looks at the potmarks and the cliffs, and thinks about how these are the tombs of the Atreides men who died when fleeing. Expiring the emperor's forces as well, and he notices they've all brought their women in servants. He shows that they must feel competent, and that they don't think there's any real danger. Paul then says that if he gets the emperor to recognize his claim, he'll raise the Atreides flag once more as the emperors currently put up the Chon one. Now they could have put up the Harken one as they're the caretakers of the planet, and the emperor did this to show who really rules here.

Though the guild could attack from space as well, they also worry that Paul will end the strike of the spice fields. Their ability to see the future is actually a weakness because they'll always choose a path that helps them survive, and therefore they won't do anything that could anger them were deep. As they plan their attack, Chani also moves a blue cloth to her arm to signal the emotional distance between her and Paul. We also cut the emperor on the throne and see there's a cross-like beam which shines from above. This gives the idea that he's almost godlike and we see the barren informs in what's going on.

Her land space is also shrouded further due to her losing her identity more and more. In the novel we get the build up at this moment and the emperor enters and basically completely ignores the barren. Builds off how he ignores his servants and shows the hierarchy of power which in the DC universe is about to change. In the book he also wears a salicar uniform and is described as looking similar to the duke, but with red hair instead of black. The emperor then asks about more deep and we get the line, there's a merrimer.

Which also comes from the novel. The emperors then join by the reverend mother and in the book the baron notices her along with her fingers. The truth say is a basic human lie detector and scares the baron because he's hiding so much. In the movie we see the reverend mother using battle language and highlights how she's been brought into the detector's lies. But he gets past it.

Well at least this anyway. The swordsmen then cuts down the baron's oxygen and suspenders and he flops at the floor looking pathetic and weak. In the book it's yet that Alia is captured and Paul's son's ladle is killed during an attack by the harknins. Paul constantly thinks the words of my son is dead which plays off how earlier in the book that you can keep constantly thinking about how the harknins try to kill his son. Paul just feels empty and due to his need to focus on facts and logic.

He's a shell without emotions and is just someone who views this as an event that's happened. He thinks about how everything he touches brings death and misery and this is something that could spread across the universe. We then get quite a chilling line and he says he felt something chuckle inside him and then rub his hands. He then thinks about how little the universe knows about real cruelty which ends the chapter and leaves things very very ominous. Chapter 46 and has them breaching the shield wall and this is one of the most outstanding shots in the entire film.

Now as the news fly out we get quite a weird shot as we can see Paul standing at the bottom of the frame. As they travel on their path we then see him still on the cliff side which is quite a strange moment. Paul is able to view the past present future simultaneously so he's witnessing the destruction as both a vision and something that's actually happening. This is such a massive moment with massive repercussions so it makes sense that he'd focus on this quite a bit, the mountains then erupt and don't shatter the soldiers in kingdom. The book says the eruption from this and the static charge from the nuke shatters the shields and thus the soldiers are easy to kill.

Blang your tradeies banner in. We then see a shot playing off the visions of the first film. Then at Paul imagining himself in the battle, as here we see that it's in fact channy. The different shows are Paul's visions aren't always consistent however it also hints at how things have changed. Paul was originally the one willing to properly fight for honor and so on but now he just wants to take power.

That's how I take it anyway. Such an incredible scene though and watching those whims come in brings the life something and only ever imagine when looking at the artwork for the novels. The book tells us that an explosive will simply shatter or stun them but only an atomic can kill them. So the static charge is pretty screwed. In the bug Alia is in hell hostage but she quickly turns the tables.

The Baron is scared of her gaze and even the Benny stand back. Two Alia's mind that the mother then calls her an abomination and she says that whoever spawned her deserves death. She screams that she's standing there in her mind and even though she can't be she's still stood there. This is because she knows all the personalities that formed her and therefore she's in there in some way or another. In the book Baron grabs her as if I go outside and Alia slashes him with a gongi ball.

Then it swams down into a fullness heap and Paul enters the throne room. This goes down in chapter 48 in which Erlan sees Paul for the first time. She says how he was not a god but also not a man and simply just the quits at Heterak. Now this is actually the longest section of the book and for the movie we have Paul killing his grandfather. He stabs him in the neck in order to end him and this is a reference to the Gomjubar test in which those who were not deemed human got a needle in their neck and they were classed as an animal.

Alia's final moments as well, the Baron is still trying to crawl through the throne and yeah there's lots of subtexts and I'm failing to get there after being stopped by Paul. With NC his body being given to the sands with ants crawling out his ear. This is a little nod to Er from Denny to Lynch's film Blue Velvet. He wanted to pay homage to what it come before and this is actually a really cool little detail that connects it all together. The castle is also bombarded with battles while your trainee's banner flies high.

Eventually Gurney gets her a ban and kills him which then cements his revenge. In the book he actually put himself forward as his champion to fight Fade but Paul ended up denying this. Gurney was annoyed as he'd been promised his chance to take down Harkonin but Paul said he had far more to make right than he did. With NC a chair being carried in. This is what Jessica sits in and it's actually the same chair that the Reverend Mother had when she carried out the Gomjubar test.

This shows that Jessica's now the one with power and she's ascended to a throne just like her son. The book describes her as walking everywhere like she's striding across sand and what she's been through has completely changed the character. She even thinks the palace feels alien and though she's lived there it's as if she's never walked there. Jessica then sees Paul and senses a change in him since the death of his son. He says he's lived billions of lives and that just changes you.

He then finally admits he's a quizz attack to his mum and though he denied it before he now accepts it and it kind of highlights how she's walked him into something different. He then senses the emperor's coming along with his future bright heirlan. Jessica says it's a mistake but he knows it must be done and then Chani comes in crying. Everyone's surprised that she gives water to the dead but it shows how she's also lost things like her son that have changed her as well. In the movie even with him saying this here it's basically showing he's already accepted the sham marriage and that he's cushioning her for what's to come.

In the book Paul then scans the people with the emperor and he recognises fate. The future has betrayed the character and shown him to Paul before they ever got to meet. However he also notices a man he's never seen before. He asks Jessica who this is and she says it's Camp Benring. Paul panics and wonders if this is the man who kills him as though he's seen his death count his times he doesn't know who does it.

The emperor also still has tricks up his sleeve. He sends how it forth in the hopes he'll assassinate Paul but he simply just goes up and is like oh mate, miss your load mate. Paul says his back isn't pointing to any doors and it just shows how unguarded he is. He asks if he's his father's son but how it just says that he's more like his grandad. Paul then tells him his life is his and then he can kill him if he wants.

But how would of course it doesn't want to do that and it's taking all that he has for him to simply stand up. The poison is acting very very fast now but the pleasure of seeing Paul that outweighs the pain. Howard then slumps to the ground and it's quite a big death for the book. Paul then notices the emperor's eyes and says they've never admitted before but now they finally show it. Paul then shows how powerful he is using the voice on the Reverend Mother and it's a reversal of hers saying silence to him in the first film.

Normally you wouldn't be able to overpower her with a voice but it shows the skill that Paul now has. At this point in the book the Reverend Mother then says Jessica's Creighton, Vomination and Paul tells her to look into his mind. He says that he is standing there in the place that she won't look, cold staring back at her. He states he will never do her bidding and though he could have killed her it's been up for her to live out her years never being able to control him. Master plan to control human breeding throughout the galaxy that's all over and she live out her years knowing that she failed.

Paul then steps forward and says he'll take Erlan's hand which completely destroys Chani. The imprep doesn't accept this yet though. Fade in the book then invokes Canyly which is basically a vendetta between houses that has rules and regulations. This means that two opponents have to face up against each other as this will avoid collateral deaths. Go and then ask for his place in the book which we touched upon earlier and Paul and Fade then call each other cousin.

This is the same thing the Baron addressed later as in Paul 1 right before the gas scene and it was often said between feudal lords back in the day. In the day Paul says May thine knife chippin shout out which is something that Janice originally said during chapter 33. He also said at the end of the first film and the fight scene here is very much echoing the end of Paul 1. The end with Paul winning and though it's a victory he loses something of himself. That will also explain how combat without a shield has to be done differently but that most still fight as if their opponent has one.

They go to strike the killing blow but then slow down because they're trying to penetrate the shield. A loved part of the chapter as well where Paul talks about all the variables in combat and how many paths will drop from it. Even a cough in the crowd could change everything and thus complete concentrations required. The Reverend Mother also thinks this could be a catastrophe for the breeding scheme as the two end products could die in a fight that could claim them both. All that would be left is Fade's bastard daughter and if that's the case they may have to start again.

The book then explains that Paul doesn't talk to Fade which throws him off as it doesn't show his thoughts. Which means he can't quite get the read on him and he then asks if Chanies is pet. Is your pet? That woman you were talking to over there, Fade Routhar said. The little one.

Is she something special to you? Perhaps? Will she deserve my special attentions? I love how it shows how twisted that Fade is because he of course keeps three women as pets himself. Paul then scans the horizon and predicts that Fade will be rewarded for killing my diva and that if he wins he'll be allowed to be the emperor.

In the book Fade also has a hidden blade inside which was brought out during the David Lynch version. Paul then rolled and used this against him whereas he allows himself to be stabbed to draw Fade in. How about he pulls off the same move that we saw in the first film with him practicing against Gurney. He had a blade at the stomach while one was pointed at the neck. Yeah Paul pulls out the blade from his own as Fade goes to stab him in his neck and he then uses this to take out the character.

Such an excellent way to end things and it brings things full circle from the battle with Jammus. Upon winning in the book the emperor almost goes to strike Paul as well but Iraland holds back his hand and says this is the closest thing he could have to his son. This plays off the emotional attachment to Laidout Paul says the phrase Iraland is there. A key as he's seen her in several visions. The emperor also glances at Benring and thinks about how Paul's weak and that he could easily kill him in this moment.

Instead though the pet and look at each other and find a kinship as Paul senses a brotherhood within him due to them going through similar things. He came to kiss a juke's ring, it's clearly very half or so and it showcases how he saw him but grudgingly admitting defeat. Paul ends up proposing to Iraland and though in the book Chanias played as being well down for Paul's plans we see just how hard broken she is here. As for her people they head into the stars to lead their enemies to paradise and she remains behind without her people or her man. But the book does handle things differently with it saying Paul said down into her eyes remembering her suddenly as she had stood once with Laidout in her arms.

The child now dead in this violence. I swear to you whispered that you will need no title. That woman over there will be my wife and you better concubine because this is a political thing and we must well peace out this moment. And this is the great houses of the Lands'rad. You must obey the forms.

If that princess shall have no more of me than my name. No child of mine, no touch no softness of glance, no instant of desire. So say you now Chani said she glanced across the room at the tall princess. Do you know little of my son Jessica whispered. See that princess standing there so haughty and confident.

He says she has pretensions of a literary nature. That is hope she finds solace in such things she will have little else. A bit of a laugh escaped Jessica. Think on it Chani. That princess will have the name.

Yet she will live as less than a concubine. Never to know a moment of ten minutes from a man whom she is bound. While we Chani, we who carry the name of concubine, history will call us wives. That's how the book ends with it showing that though both Jessica and Chani weren't seen as wives, they'll be remembered as the ones who were loved. Path away to close out the story and it pays off in children of June when they do the opposite basically.

And there's lots of weird stuff there but moving on. Chani here though leaving shows how Paul has lost himself and though he's won it has come with the cost. The houses will not accept him and now he must lead them to paradise. Which is a polite way of saying murder them all. The Fremen have been enslaved by another oppressor who once nothing but war and now they'll be used for tools in his G hat.

Death of billions will be downplayed as leading people to paradise. Paul won't be remembered fondly and he'll be looked back on as being a monster. Paul then asks what's happening and Jessica says, I'll be walking again. Chani sees this from the June's and she calls forth a worm to carry her away. Ultimately the prophecy came true and they'll try to avoid it.

Paul couldn't stop the juggernaut. The future battle towards him just like a worm and that brings us to the end of June part 2.
