Dune: Part Two

what do you do when you can’t escape your destiny? I don’t even know where to begin. this movie is a masterclass in cinema, the best piece of sci-fi ive ever seen and god every single thing is so amazing. I wanna talk about the main characters. Paul doesn’t want to be nobody’s savior, but everything he does puts him on the path of becoming the lisan al gaib, and when he finally accepts it, it isn’t as triumphant as other movies. we know this will lead to the holy war. we know millions will die because of this. but we root for Paul anyway. for better or for worse, it’s his destiny. and you can’t blame him or even feel sorry for him, because the man who has lived with the weight of having to be come duke has to now live with the weight of something worse: becoming the messiah. Chani is interesting because even though she knows that Paul can see the future, even though she saw how he easily adapted to the fremen, even though SHE BROUGHT HIM BACK TO LIFE WITH HER TEARS (as written!) she doesn’t believe in the prophecy. and that makes her 10 times more interesting than her version in the book, because I think part of her doesn’t hate the prophecy, she fears it. she knows what the holy war will bring to the world. thats why she doesnt follow the fremen the two lovers are doomed by a prophecy written centuries before them, but although Chani plays her part in it, she breaks free by leaving Paul and staying in arrakis. Paul, however, was doomed as soon as he had to leave his home planet. and even though he could escape his destiny by not going against the harkonnens, he still went for it. because he knows, that even if millions die because of it, he can’t let the family who killed his father survive. and millions will kill and die for that idea. long live the fighters. also timothee should’ve won that Oscar ill fight anyone who disagrees
