- Dune Part 2 has the perfect scene. In this video essay, I discuss why the Paul Atreides speech scene in Denis Villeneuve's Dune Part 2 is perfect. I breakdown why this incredible scene becomes the true meaning of Dune Part 2.
Paul Atreides leads nomadic tribes in a battle to control the desert planet Arrakis. Dune is an upcoming epic science fiction film directed by Denis Villeneuve with a screenplay by Jon Spaihts, Villeneuve, and Eric Roth. The film is an international co-production of Canada, Hungary, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It is the first of a planned two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert, which will cover roughly the first half of the book. The film stars an ensemble cast including Timothée Chalamet, Rebecca Ferguson, Oscar Isaac, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Zendaya, David Dastmalchian, Chang Chen, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Charlotte Rampling, Jason Momoa, and Javier Bardem.

There are many scenes in Dune Part 2 that stand out when I think of the best scene in the film. I honestly could have picked 3 or 4. But I think the one I picked showcases the turn of Paul Atreides and the central purpose of Villeneuve's adaptation the best, and it grows every time I see it. What is your favourite scene from Dune Part 2? Let me know in the comments below alongside why you think it's the best scene. I've also got a biggest differences video going up in the next day or two, so stay tuned for that!
😊😊😊
I don’t think Paul can see other people’s past, but he does have the ability to see thousands of different scenarios in the future where he had conversations with all the fremen. That’s how he knew about his grandmother. Paul only has the memories of his own bloodline.
I've just came out of the cinema, and as it was my second time I've freely watch the audience reactions and at that scene they were all grabbed to their seats and with their jaw dropped. Simply amazing.
Also you can tell who were the non readers by their surprised and almost disturbed faces by the end. Counting the days for "messiah".
Saludos from 🇦🇷
He did it in The King in netflix as well. Intense.
Yes. In “The King” he proved he could put on the passion and conviction on screen. Pretty sure that’s how Denis V was convinced, he was right for the part as well.
I had no idea that Chalomet could authentically pull off and display such powerful ferocity... absolutely incredible. He is fantastically talented. That scene still gives me goosebumps when I think about it.
He has that gravitas
A lot of it is because of the treatment of his voice, it puts a lot of weight to his voice and makes him seem powerful and ominous. Great dialogue editing
Watch the king, I've been a fan of him since i watched that film.
@augusttabulado4163 yes, I saw that film and you see what he can do there.
People keep saying this, and it makes me realize that nobody has seen "The King" on Netflix
"YOUR MOTHERS WARNED YOU OF MY COMING. FEAR THE MOMENT" damn 🔥
Yeah!
Dayyum!😮
Goosebumps 🥹😩
His oration in this scene literally had me shaking in my seat for what was about to come. I was floored by the way he was able to alter his voice and the authority it gave
While speaking a fictional language the actor obviously can’t speak.
@@DailyShit. That may have helped! People who learn new languages often report having different personalities and speaking voices in their 2nd and 3rd languages
Love the heartfelt smile from Gurney when Paul puts on his father’s ring.
That moment got me too
It got to me too ...
I would say it’s a ravenous smile. He’s fantasizing over revenging themselves on the Harkonnens
@@peterstedman6140 I almost feel it’s two fold. When Paul puts on the ring, it’s solidifies that he didn’t go full native and forget his heritage and royal blood…which makes Gurney proud… and then yes he knows revenge is on the horizon.
And when Paul instructs Gurney he replied "Yes my Lord"After all Gurney is the reason Paul was able to kill Feiyd
Paul walking away from the worm with that hood on was such a breathtaking scene. Holy fuck
I think one of my favorite parts about how this shift is addressed visually is that we no longer have close ups of Paul. We are given a more distant view of him in crowds as if we are observing and judging him for the first time like others in the crowd. The audience has essentially lost touch with the old Paul (established by all of extreme close-ups of him and Chani in the first acts which essentially show his humanity).
💯 this.
I am way too stupid to catch these kinds of details when watching movies. I agree, super cool nonetheless
@@ilikeexxs it works in you in subconcious way. we are able to pick up on visual cues in subconscious ways better than our conscious mind can recognize. think of a conversation with someone that made you uneasy. you cant put your mind to why but you might have picked up on social cues that your conscious mind missed
Also the visions are more to clear to him but less visually clear to us
Damn. Didn’t realize it until now.
I absolutely love the way Paul goes from sympathetic to absolutely horrifying in this movie, it really does the book justice.
Gurney loved Paul, but when Paul put on his father's ring I felt he went from 100 to 1000 percent on board. He smiled almost to tears and I felt that. That and the fremen riding into battle with the Atreides flag I could watch 1000 times.
I agree, such a great scene
Finally someone shoot out this scene, everyone talked about the worm ride or the battle, but this one boy, the all theater went silent in awe
paul accepting his role as messiah was so emotional . you can really feel him being torn between his loyalty to fremen but also chani individually
His loyalty to the Fremen also meaning his revenge
Worst decision he's ever made.
@@deancalder8799but the only one available to him that sees him survive and live on.
@@deancalder8799 But was it really? Not going into spoilers but if you read the later books it changes things IMO.
@@GPsarakisI haven’t read the later books yet but in this movie he says there is one narrow path he can take where his enemies don’t win, and he talks about doing what must be done as if it’s his only choice.
The south arrakis speech is my fav. Timothée speaks in the Fremen language with strong conviction and “flips the switch” in assuming his form as the Lisan Al Gaib! A true cult-leader moment 🔥
This was the best part of the film. The high point. The low point for me is all the pissed faces Chani made when in the book she was Paul's lover and biggest supporter. She stuck by him when in the dark sleep for 3 weeks when everyone else wanted his water, him dead.
@@rickdeckardbladerunner2049 ugh, 100% Denis makes you feel so conflicted in that last quarter of the film. Heartbroken for Chani ( ._.)
Everything this Chani does makes sense if you can disregard the book chani - she doesn’t believe in the prophecy from the start so it wouldn’t make sense to blindly follow Paul at this point in the movie. She doesn’t see a Lisan Al Gaib. She just sees another “oppressor” aka Harkonnen “controlling spice and keeping fremen in their place”. She played a suspicious and fierce fedaykin very well I thought.
@@wonderogue 💯
@@rickdeckardbladerunner2049 3 weeks?! The film gave impression it had maybe been a few minutes or an hour at most maybe. It would have been much cooler if they made it 3 weeks!
I agree. My jaw was on the floor and I really didn't believe that Chalamet had it in him. He was amazing and as someone noticed since waking up after drinking the Water of Life his eyes were so tired and sad because of what he saw. Incredible performance.
So many actors with budding careers delivering career-defining roles in this film
Yeah. What a hell of a film. This trilogy is shaping up to be comparable to Jackson's LotR. History in the making
Budding actors are precisely the problem. Too young. It's a classic and it's being "played" by kids. Regardless of their acting they can never fill the roles.
@@toorcicefist8018That's incorrect. Paul, Chani, and Feyd were ALL young in the books. There's not an age-inappropriate actor in the bunch when comparing them to the books. I don't know which film you saw or which book you read, but it doesn't fit Dune 2 (film) or Dune (book)
@@MrA26749I’m a bit worried about messiah. Denis needs to include some action in the film but also show all the scheming etc
@@maciedixon3983I was a bit worried about Part Two with the slow pace and deliberate setup of the first film, there were a lot of promises in the story it had to deliver on. After seeing how they pulled it off and captured the epic scale of the book I’m not so worried about Messiah anymore.
4:55
I loved how when hes walking through the crowd it looks like grains of sand under a microscopic lens
I liked how there was space between him and the Fremen, like he was among them but not one of them. He was greater.
Yes! Exactly! When I saw that shot in the theater, it became one of my all time favotire shots in all of film.
@@thephantompenanceIt could also be the exact opposite as well. He stands apart from them but is still just as small, just as his figure as the messiah figure is still under scrutiny.
I always knew Thimotée had this very dark side he could display. You can see it in The King, more veiled of course, I think there are many faces that he will show. For example, going being sweet Wonka to dark Paul is in itself a great achievement. I rather have a dark hero. They are so much interesting.
What king?? They are duke's.
@@deancalder8799 Timothée played a king in the movie "The King"
I am speaking of the movie THE KING OF DAVID MICHOD where he plays the dark character of King Henry V, great movie. I would leave the nice, sweet heroes for fairytales. @@deancalder8799
When I heard Chalamet was cast as Paul, I immediately looked up "The King" - an adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry V (and a bit of his Henry IV) - to see if he had it in him.
He did.
Paul was never the hero. Not in the movie, not in the books.
Paul speaking to the war council , the reading of one kind of a fremen warrior, how his grandmother died and what age, etc, was the best part of the film. Proving in front of everyone he is the voice from the outer world.
the fremen actor did such a good job showing someone go from wanting to fight and kill a man declaring himself unbeatable, to witnessing his Messiah before his very eyes and kneeling to him
I don't think there's a single person that didn't think this scene was their favorite. This scene was so moving and powerful. Masterful story telling, and Tim absolutely nailed it.
This scene is probably my favorite scene from any movie ever.
The slow walk on the horizon with the grandfather worm "rejoicing" in his wake, essentially announcing to all within eye's reach, "this is the chosen"...that was my favorite part of the entire movie. The wind-up was amazing, you really don't see it coming because the shots pull out so far that it really nails home how alienated Paul is from the rest of existence now that he has undergone his metamorphosis as the voice of the outer world. You can't see if he's any different because you're forced to look at him within the grander scheme, which denotes the critical nature of his new existence. Why is he so important now? What did he see when he drank the water? How do we know this is real and he's not just high on some billion-year-old drug they make from worm urine?? Why are they not showing us some kind of traditional transformation sequence like they gave his mother??? And then the film grounds you immediately, with something completely organic that is utterly untouched by any human influence or mythology, the acid to cut through the fat's richness. Shia-Hulud. It's such a brief flash of a moment that confirms without a doubt...there is more to this than fictitious mysticism or misplaced religious zeal. _The worms recognize their leader,_ and the worms have always been seen by the Fremen as a manifestation of natural forces, much like a flood or an earthquake. This isn't part of human meddling, this isn't the Fremen youth rebelling against what at times sounds like cultic Bene Gesserit dogma...
Shia-Hulud breaching the surface and excitedly kicking up all that sand is an acknowledgement from the *_forces of nature._* It would be like a tornado stopping once it reached your town, and when you came outside it made itself smaller and began following you around. That's not just human religiosity, that's something beyond even human imagination. As if to confirm it all, you notice Paul isn't even walking like the Fremen do, and the other worms never once move on his position. They acknowledge Shai-Hulud, and Shai-Hulud acknowledge Lisan al Gaib.
I have never thought about that but you're absolutely right. I knew something was off with this scene and it's the fact that he is walking normally, he isn't afraid of the worm at all.
Great writing traveler. The only thing I see differently is that it can't be "acknowledgement from the forces of nature" because forces of nature are deterministic and unconscious. Whereas Shai-Hulud is alive, but impossible to tame wild wolf that can't be controlled like a pet. What Fremen witness in that scene makes Paul god-like, on the basis of Shia-Hulud alone.
It’s not worm piss. It’s the bile from newborn worms.
@@seanhartel5362 I said it that way because characters in the movie said it that way, I'm not an alien worm specialist
@@_The_Traveler_ I know, it was a silly dismissal on their part. Another example of some poor writing in the film. Still really enjoyed it though.
This scene will carry him to an Oscar nom next year and maybe a win. Crazy performance. In a single speech, he managed to turn me from a skeptic to a believer when it comes to his acting talent.
The acting performances were great across the board. Austin Butler is an amazing talent whom I hope gets a supporting oscar nom for his own portrayal. Zendaya gave her best performance to date. I mean, the list goes on and on.
Villeneuve is a hell of a director to get all this out of them. If this does not get him a directing win, I don't know what will. The fact that the man is genuinely nice person is just icing on the cake.
Couldn’t agree more, this blew my fucking socks off when I saw it. Never seen that side of Timmy. I normally consider slow mo walking kinda corny but it just worked for me here. Definitely felt uneasy rooting on seizing power via religious manipulation
His speech was the real high point of his acting in this. Bravo!!!
Can't go wrong with a slomo walking scene if you have Denis Villeneuve directing it and Hans Zimmer doing the score
@@DG-gx4sg was laughing at how well that scene was scored. I mean, just wow. Funny how it felt less like music to me and more like witnessing an organic moment in time, like, that’s literally what it would sound like to watch Paul arrive at the council
@@mannylokzzz haha yeah the track is called Arrival. Listened to it while walking into work today
@@DG-gx4sgdid you walked in slomo as well to work? :)
My favorite scene was him riding the Shai-Hulud. Especially the very moment he stood up paired with that beatiful music.
That scene is on RUclips btw 😊
And he had fear in his eyes. He was terrified, but then overpowered it, provably reiterating the Dune mantra: fear is a mind killer!!!
By far favorite part of movie. The score and weight of the situation are just captivating. Especially considering Paul's turn to darkside from water of life. Ive been praying someone would upload a bootleg copy of it on YT so I can re-watch it several times.
I think I'll watch this movie 5 times in a theatre before thinking that's enough, and when finally it hits netflix, ill watch it a dozen more times. This is the kind of movie that made me fall in love with the experience of going to a theatre and getting entertained. So many breathtaking shots. Denis Villeneuve is a treasure.
Most chilling scene, for sure! I got this "oh, that's how ascend to power really works" moment. Thanks for the breakdown!
the speech scene completely stunned me and made me think, "oh, I would 100% fall for this. I would be indoctrinated if i was there in that room"
Timothee' has had IT since his school days.
Indeed - honestly don’t understand how people are saying it’s only now they think he’s a good actor, he’s always been good in whatever he’s been in
And people didn't know this. I layed eye on him in Homeland🙃Since than die hard fan.
This scene absolutely blew me away. Incredible.
For cinematic scene I have to say the when the harkenen troops float to the top of the hill
That scene is in my top 5 as well. Had me floating when I saw that.
Yes - they did the thing exactly in the right way - showed how fremen use the dessert to eliminate the enemy, take their water and hide all traces. Harkonnen always underestimate the fremen population and their owns troop loses. I loved that they don’t drink the harkonnen water either. The worm gobbling them all up was perfect.
How they float to the top and then how they drop dead to the bottom, huge contrast
It a great scene because on the one hand it is a powerful moment (and performance) when we see Paul finally take charge and embrace this role, but it is also incredibly unnerving as Chani has to watch her people fall under the control of the person she loves. It is like a virus spreading to all her people... During the worm ride sequence she saw how Paul indirectly turned her people into followers, now we and she see him actively doing so with all her pleas falling to deaf ears. It must be terrifying to watch everyone you love and care about become fanatics, abandoning who they were and follow someone blindly. Chilling...
This franchise is getting better with each sequel...The best scifi movie in a long time.
So rare when a sci-fi film gives you absolute goosebumps! Such a great cast!
I am Paul Muad'Dib Atreides, Duke of Arrakis. The Hand of God be my witness, I am the Voice from the Outer World! I will lead you to PARADISE!
on the 2nd rewatch I legit cried at this part of the speech
Agreed. I was thinking about this scene a few days later and decided to go see it again in part to experience this scene again.
I love the slowed clicking sound the worm made after bursting out of the ground. So badass, easily my favourite scene as well
100% agree I felt like I was there in that scene. I felt like screaming “lisan al gaib!” 😂😂
Same! I may have if there hadn’t perfect silence in the theater 😂
@@jadencasto 😂😂😂 I kind of looked left and right like “are y’all seeing this!?”
Not me I’m not easily manipulated but yes the speech was amazing and powerful
I JUST rewatched it. Before I clicked on your video I said to myself it better be the war council scene. Spot on dude!
You are absolutely right. And is not the words he said, its in Villeneuves Tradition the visuals Some of a kind of a strong darker presence, but it needs a A+ Prime Actor to deliver this. And Timmy Chalamet delivers, holy shit !!!
Great performance by Chalomet - I remember seeing him in 'The King' and he also was able to capture the power, authority and command of a ruler embracing his destiny so seeing him do it again here in Dune 2 was a pleasure. My favourite scene of a fantastic film!
When he said the planets ancient name, DUNE…I got faint. 😂😂😂 it was amazing!
Part of the reason why Paul's speech scene is so hauntingly powerful is its strong parallels with Adolf Hitler's pre-WWII speeches, which ultimately led to the rise of Nazi Germany and the slaughtering of million of Jews throughout Europe (sounds familiar?). Hitler's effective use of poses, combined with his ferocity and sense of determinism (not to mention the introduction of sound in film in the late 20s, hence draws some parallels to Frank Herbert's warning about the seductive power of technology) played an important factor in rallying large number of followers, a tactic also aped by Paul in the movie.
yeah no
Herbert fought in WW2 so yes that was probably in the front of his mind when writing the story. A well spoken leader can whip up a population into a frenzy. It’s happened before and will probably happen again.
I absolutely LOVE that they chose to use the Fremen language version (they shot it in English too). It took Paul's intensity and the impact of his speech to the Fremen completely off the chart. Fantastic.
This entire scene shows that a showstopper set piece doesn't need VFX (except for the dramatic whale flopping-like sandworm(s?) in the background when Paul is doing his sinister slow mo walk) to be absolutely riveting. Bravo to Villeneuve, everyone in the creative team, and the actors for pulling this masterful scene off.
What a pleasant surprise. This video is the first one I’ve watched where the narrator got the pronunciation of Denis Villeneuve’s name right. 👏
This scene was so good, and the music was perfect.
Personally my favorite scene was the last scene. This is an instance where I wish I hadn't read the books and known what was coming, since seeing this unfold for the first time would havd been such an emotional rollercoaster. At first you want to celebrate that Paul avenged his family, however its such a terrible realization that the Holy War, what Paul feared the most, is happening and that this will be a bad thing. While all the Fremen are chanting and praising Paul as their Messiah, the tragedy of this is driven home so well with Zendaya's take on Chani that shows us the whats really happening is that Paul going back on who we wanted to be for the Fremen. "You will never lose me, as long as you stay who you are." And the score "Kiss the Ring" perfectly encapsulates the epicness yet sadness of the scene.
saw it with a packed theater of Dune fans at a pre-screening. The credits rolled and their was SILENCE. Everybody was stuck wrestling with what they'd just seen. Nailed the emotions in the book!
My least favorite scene. Dune the book didn't end that way. This was a preview of the next movie and influenced by the book Dune Messiah, which was a hot mess and not as good as the book Dune, The greatest scifi novel of all time. I loved it up till the end when Chani rolled off. That never happened in the book Dune. She was Paul's biggest supporter and love.
Timothee’s delivery of “Lead them to paradise” in that last scene is perfect! You can hear in his voice and see on his face the regret and sorrow of that line (that had been hopefully spoken throughout the movie), and that is perfectly contrasted with the exaltation shown by the Fremen in the background! Perfection
The arrival/speech scene was amazing. I’ve been waiting for it to drop on YT. Can’t wait so I’m going to see it again in a couple days haha.
I doubted the kid. I doubted he had it in him.
I was wrong. He brought it and then some.
Agree 100%
I was awesome to watch him make his way through the hordes of Fremen on his way to the war council. Also, when he silenced the Reverend Mother I got goosebumps. 👍
This was definitely my favorite scene of the movie as well, and it had so many incredible scenes. This one though, captured the sense of things slipping out of your control, that there is a wave happening and there is no standing against it. The shift in tone is expected, but still startling when it happens. You might look at Chalamet and ask if he really has that in him, and for a movie and a half you can ask that question. Then in the final half he let's you know not only does he have it, but better then you ever could have imagined. By the time he's standing in front of the legions Fremen with the Crysknife like the promotional shot, you have the chills at was has just transpired.
1: the harkonnens first appearance chasing Paul at beginning of the film. The view was sort of eclipse. It was so intimidating and beautiful.
2: when Paul drink the blue water and becomes the kwisatz haderach.
3: when he broke into the room alone and took revenge.
Just the fact that an entire movie shot with a massive scale, but ends up in close red room.. is the most artistic and brilliant idea I've seen in film directing.
I just can’t believe how perfect this movie is 🔥
Just back from my second viewing so this is the perfect timing for this video, thank you! 🙏 😊
You're so welcome! Hope you enjoyed your viewing!
@@CortexVideosI definitely did, some of the things that bothered me on the first viewing bothered me a little more the second time tbh but overall I still loved it. I think Denis should’ve released a directors cut of the first part and do the same for the second, I think it would be a great way to boost sales and include important bits that didn’t make the theatrical cut. But yeah Paul's transformation is amazing so the scene is also one of my favourites
I'm hoping I like it more in viewing no 2. That ending was a big high point and low point all at once.
One of my personal favourites was when Paul put Leto's ring on and says quietly "I've found my way, Father" which I thought was a nice nod to the first film. I also liked the scene where Paul rides the grandfather worm, especially after learning it took several months of Timothy being blasted with wind turbines and sand. The bit when Paul initially stands up is the first time that Timothy found his feet after months of falling over. I loved the Bene Gesserit costumes and the whole cat and mouse thing with Margot Fenring and Feyd. The Bene Gesserit were my favourites in the books due to their scheming and plotting. I found Zendaya's portrayal of Chani annoying, especially her constant scowling.
The score for this scene had some wicked Black Sabbath vibes.
This cast , the visuals, the speeches and acting are all the best I have seen. The pacing was perfect. Braaaavo to this film maker and even the water boy. ❤❤❤
I firmly believe that this is the best scene in the film, and in all of cinematic history. Seeing Paul except his role as the Messiah and the speech he gave with the shift in tonality in his voice was both mind blowing and TERRIFYING! 10/10! 🚀
In magnitude, this moment is on the level of Opis Mutiny. It would have been remembered for thousands of years.
Chills every time!
Also taking out the first Spice Rig was an EPIC action scene. Chani taking out that dude with the RPG was a total OHHHH moment
Paul arriving with Shai Halud behind him is such a cold shot
Holy moly, this was epic at the imax, absolute blew my mind how good it was.
When Paul says "Fear the moment" I know I definitely did. I feared the moments leading up to it, the moment itself, and all the moments after. Not fear in a "Fear God" religious sense, but I'm genuinely afraid of the consequences of Paul embracing this fatalistic and devastating mantle of messiah. Even if I've seen this trope before, I have to acknowledge how well Dune executed it and respect Herbert for doing this many decades ago. It's still relevant today and sometimes it's the series that originated it that still did it best.
"Lead them to paradise"
I love the part where Paul arrives at the southern temple and hes walking in the foreground and you see "shai halud" erupting through the ground in the horizon. The soundtrack and the amount of detail... gave me goosebumps of pure awesomeness.
Totally agree this is an awesome epic scene! This personally was my favourite & the one that stood out for many reasons..........But the icing on the cake for me & why i absolutely loved it was from Paul rousing the fremen to believe "personality" to follow with straight Atreides "personality" and its the look of loyalty & admiration from gurney halleck as he sees the ring of Atreides and then stands in glowing honour which really made that scene my favourite for so many reasons. Hands down best movie to come out in a long time!
Acknowledgement must also be made for Feyd's "birthday gift" in the stadium. Astonishing!
Of course!
I first thought TC as an actor was boyish (and thin - both physically and metaphorically) for the role. After seeing both movies twice I think his casting and acting are perfect. His physical appearance and demeanour make his transformation and end state more intimidating if anything. I empathized with his initial fear and reluctance and as he took on the mantle of being god like, his hubris and promises of paradise to his followers left me scared. I feel Chani wasn’t dismayed and sad at the very end because she lost a love, but because of what Paul had become to his followers who were blind to what she could see because of her intimate connection to him.
The entire last quarter of the movie after Paul drinks the water of life was just spellbinding. Absolutely correct that the war council scene was the highlight of the entire film. If this movie doesn’t win an Oscar for best picture, I will be highly disappointed.
My opinion is : l don’t care if the movie scenes match with the book or not .
It’s a great movie which has been made with a great director and I will be watching dune2 many times until the next part .
I knew chalamet had that acting dog in him since watching the king
He chose the route that kept chani alive the longest …. That’s how much he loves her unconditionally 😢
The music, the cinematography, the performance, the weight behind the words. Everything that in my eyes makes a powerful monologue scene feel really powerful and special.
This scene made me realise what a range of acting Timothee has. Like Chani I would be conflicted between loving him and being scared of his manipulation
I do agree. That scene was perfection.
I'd agree this to be my favorite scene too. My 2nd favorite is the climax, how you can see the conflict in his eyes when he sees and speaks to Chani, and when he talks to the Emperor. Switching between a conflicted lover still seeking the acceptance and understanding of his beloved and a (young) man demanding his authority from the most powerful man in the universe. His voice when he gave the commands to the Fremen after killing his grandfather was also menacing and otherworldly, almost Heath Ledger Joker-like: (in Chakobsa) "Take his body to the desert. Bring the prisoners to the residency"
This scene and when he addresses the emperor are my two favorite of the movie. Timothy really killed it. His reluctance to go to southern Arrkaus kinda made you feel bad for him. But his heel turn in the temple meeting was crazy good. Then the shout at the Revenant Mother was insane. Might have to buy the movie
It's such a controversial scene because you see Paul as this manipulative power, but on the other side, I feel like Paul and the Fremen don't have a choice. There is no cost the Imperium wont pay to continue mining spice on Arrakis. It doesn't matter how many miners the Fremen destroy, the houses of the Imperium will continue coming back. It's a dark scene but to me it is 100% necessary for Paul to declare this war against the greater imperium, otherwise the Fremen will just keep operating in the desert destroying miners until their people and way of life are inevitably destroyed.
This scene completely blew me away in the IMAX cinema, in that moment I truly believed he is the one and was ready to fight ngl
This scene was my favourite from all the Dune books. And I read and played it in my head many times. Timothée Chalamet did it justice. When I saw it for the first time on IMAX, I am not ashamed to say I got tears in my eyes. For only this scene he has my everlasting thanks. It was wonderful.
That scene was so intense, it had me involuntarily kicking my seat at the cinema!
Loved the film. And you are correct. Paul's address/sermon/prophecy was magnificent. I do not think the parallels to other demagogues, prophets, dictators with extraordinary speaking abilities able to tap into their audiences fears and hopes is astounding. It was spectacular in set up, anticipation and even dread. Easily the most memorable scene in both movies so far. After it I turned to my husband and said What a PREACHER!
Best scene hands down. I got chills just watching this.
Totally agree. The war council scene was my "goosebumps moment" in the movie.
This also is my favorite scene in DUNE PART 2. When Paul reunites with Gurney Halleck, I could see the little boy in his smile and then cut to the grim, hardened messiah Paul at the end of the movie. I'd only ever seen Timothée's bit part in INTERSTELLAR so I had no idea he could pull that off.
Paul's arrival is the perfect scene for me, in a few seconds with the tools you pointed out, it manages to present him as this powerful, menacing figure, it makes him stand out, contrast the other fremen, prepares us for him throwing out the idea of the first half that he is one of the fremen, which he articulates later by putting on the ring, and declaring himself Paul, not Usul, Duke of Arrakis, not equal.
“You Mothers WARNED you of my coming!” …😳…”Excuse-Moi Paul???” What do you say to that??? 😅
@LuigiL75 nothing u bow down bruh😭🤣 timotee eyeing award season
@@VeelouC He truly did his thing with this role…NGL, I was highly doubtful when he was first picked for this role but he has made this character his and his alone! 🙌🏾
I have never before seen Cinematography as exceptional as this cave scene. This God like fervent speech depicting a gigantic religious figure- a rallying of the masses - so incredibly powerful...this cannot and will not be duplicated in magnitude -ever.
I can't believe nobody has picked up on this yet so I will say it here. The scene shot from above as Paul moves through the huge crowd of Freman is a visual reference to him being the Kwisatz Haderach. In Dune part 1 Mohiam says "Like sifting sand through a screen we sift people". The scene from above resembles grains of sand with Paul sifting through them and being separate because he is the Kwisatz Haderach that the Bene Gesserit have been working towards all those years.
Nice catch! That blew past me and I’m a so called lore purist! 😅
Yes! That scene is haunting my mind, and want me to come back to theatre again!!
That speech scene left EVERYONE breathless in my theater. You could literally hear a pin drop if someone muted the audio.
This scene genuinely freaked me out and got me thinking “this is not going where I thought it was”.
Agree, Agree, Agree. It was close to being spiritual. I started to well up and had to keep my emotions in check. I have never had that experience from a movie before. I think Imax helped too.
One of the best scenes in cinematic history
Beautiful take! This scene was my favorite also - the power, exaltation, and even fear all present in my mind during this scene was an incredible mix of emotions
Very true, that scene was dynamic in multiple ways…When Paul embraced his destiny and consolidated the Fremon behind him in a way that was absolutely EPIC!…🔥🔥🔥
When he yells “I AM THE WAY!” And the entire gathering jumps up ready to attack him was like “Whoa” And then him telling the first warrior about his grandmother…Jesus this is some of the best delivered dialog in cinema.
Yep, this scene was everything. A Chosen One who's reached his full potential and is ready for his Galactic journey
A Messiah fully realized, and prepared to go to war.
The great thing about how this was handled, having not read the books, is that Paul fights to the bitter end to avoid his own turn. He Is Sincere. He knows that his visions leads to chaos for himself and others. It isn't until everyone around him is pleading with him, including Chani ( and very significantly an endorsement from the spirit of Jamis) that he needs to do this and there is no alternative, that he makes the decision regretfully. You can see in the moment when he tells Chani that he will go to the south to protect her and her family, that he realizes he is going to lose Chani as a result. He communicates that to her directly. It makes his turn so much more relatable. He didn't do it for power, he didn't do it for revenge, he did it to save the Freman from Rotha, who undoubtedly was going to wipe out the south next. He was willing to stay behind alone and sacrifice his own life so that they could escape. He did it to save his love and her family. A true tragedy.
This scene was my favourite in the whole movie
Timothy can get that Oscar. So can Javier. They're both on lock in my opinion. Austin would get it if not for Bardem. He'll still get the nod tho.
That scene is absolutely legendary. Best of the film. I don't think I can remember anything better in any film I've seen. And I'm a snob. Can you think of any scene in any film to compare it with? The Black Swan reveal in Black Swan? The final scene in Whiplash?
It's beyond transformation. It's a scene that hits within the ego of every man. Both as a leader and a follower. If you wouldn't follow a man this convincing, I don't know what to tell you. It crystallizes an underlying theme in the book. Anyone is capable of being swept up into a cult. It's the human condition we like to think is just for mentally ill people. I wish that scene would have converted Chani, just to drive that point home, even more than it already did. But I understand why they did it this way.
Unreal moment. We'd spent 5 hours getting to know Paul. Then we finally meet the Messiah. And he checks that box like Jesus walking on water in front of our eyes.
My favorite part of the scene is when he tells the Freman warrior, who looks absolutely murderous, that he's praying to his grandmother right now. And gives her back story. His kneeling reaction is beyond real. Faith can humble the hardest human being ever made.
The wise old man behind Paul is humbled next with a description of his dreams. He's trembling with fear and shame for ever being arrogant enough to remain standing before Paul. His kneeling is so apologetic.
Finally Stilgar. It's the greatest moment of his life. It's literally a sexual experience for him. The purpose of his existence coming to fruition. Paul gets him all the way there. Then later takes him even further. But that moment is the closest we have seen to a male giving birth.
Chani is used unrealistically to keep us tethered to reality. But it's ok. It's just the problem of time constraints in film adaptations. Marvelous in the end. I do have a feeling they shot it both ways. And decided to keep her character from swinging back and forth. And probably removed another 20 minutes from the runtime. There are clues in the editing that point to it. And I have a feeling that was the majority of the delays to it's final cut. Oppenheimer got lucky in that regard haha
Everyone needs to curb their expectations for part 3. It will not be what anyone thinks. Certainly not the book. Impossible to do in one film.
IM POINTING THE WAY!!!
