His speech to the tribal leaders then him greeting the warriors as they prepare to enter battle.

Please from his arrival to the first bombe 😭😭😭. I could see it thousands times

The arrival scene!!!

“At that time, this world had a Fremen name…Dune.”

Nuke scene and war

He is the lisan al gaib afterall

He do knows what is to come. In the end he was a False Prophet but a true Messiah

It sounds nicer than "Kneel or Die"

LISAN AL GAIB

Technically he will keep his promise as Arrakis will become greener and more normal planet during his reign xd

thank Villeneuve for that. This movie gave Frank Herbert his proper due. It is the highest form of art - a genius cinematic interpretation of a science fiction series way ahead of its time.

​@@S0ulinth3machin3 yea, PAL!

Just what I said. Different from the book, but definitely brings the message home.

I really hope the Great Houses can put a stop to this madness and save the Known Universe. I know who I will be rooting for in Part Three.

Because it is a tragic moment. Paul himnself know that there is no other path to seek more than anyone. BUT IT WAS EPIC!!! About the film itself, the really tragic thing here is the choice to not show Aila out of the womb as a toddler, for that we'll have to wait a bit.

His expression of disillusion, grief and helplessness , looking down, says it all

@@Guo1234bob yeah, he knew his visions were true and the war had to happen. I honestly loved this movie.

Considering Duke Leto was a threat to the Emperor because of his "following", I never understood why Paul's ascendancy was not honored.

@@prateekagrawPaul defeated the emperor who only had power because of his Sadukar. Which the great houses feared and upheld the status quo because of it. Now that they’ve been defeated there’s no reason for them to accept imperial style rule.

⁠@@jaythekid4728they feared the sardukar, but don’t fear the guy that wiped out the sardukar ? I don’t get it

@@ardyisdeniralg9147 *spoiler* I can't imagine Villeneuve not having Paul walking into the desert at the ending of Messiah. It's such a perfect way to end the trilogy

@@RockSmithStudioI agree. Paul walking into the desert is the perfect ending to Messiah.

@@RockSmithStudioWhat if he doesn’t blind Paul this tine around?

@@Imthesoulofthes There's no way to do that i think. Paul going blind is a way to reaffirm his superior state as a being because even without eyes "he can keep seeing" (could even say that he sees even more) and then accept his fate as Fremen tradition dictates to. It would be really weird ending Paul's as Lisan Al-Gahib arc in any other way. Don't you think?

Such a perfect moment, the way he utters it with such finality and dismay.

It's like a "There's nothing I can do. Kill them all." kind of feeling.

​@@danielplainview2584 Totally agree... I dont know how a line of words that meant "Kill them" Made me got in tears.

I knew about the story going in (that a holy war happens) but I had no idea it was going to start immediately. I was horrified at that line and blown away by the movie.

Saw for the first time today, only about 20 people in the theater. Still, I can't remember the last time credits started rolling and people didn't just immediately get up to leave. We all just sat there in stunned silence for about a minute before anyone started talking or getting up. This was that kind of ending. The ending of Dune is incredibly poignant. Rarely are we, the audience, conflicted over the classic "hero's triumph". Paul succeeds, but he knows, and we know through him, at what terrible cost that success will come. I loved Timotheé's reaction to being told the great houses would not respect his ascendance. The dismay in his voice, his face showing the faintest bit of disappointment and grief despite him knowing what they were going to say, what he knew he would command the Fremen to do, as if there was some slight hope that fate would deny his unquestionable prescience. We watch as Stilgar and the other Fremen raise the Atreides banner and we know it will swiftly change from a symbol of "ruling with the heart", as the Emperor said Leto did, to one of mass death. Billions upon billions will die. The Fremen, once their own people, their own culture, have become voluntary pawns in the holy war, and they can't escape it. I think Zendaya's equally impressive acting and Hans Zimmer's score did a perfect job communicating this without any words, and the end result is a triumph we simply cannot feel good about.

I'm actually confused why the great houses would reject him. Aside from the whole win the throne by honorable combat against the Emperor's champion thing. This whole mess started because his house was a popular one and despite being the most loyal, the Emperor plotted to destroy them out of fear for their influence over the lther houses. By showing what he would do to even his most loyal subjects, the other houses should have all been terrified or pissed at him. Heck, in part 1 Paul's original plan was to tell the other houses what the Emperor did so that Paul could threaten to lead an uprising against him but would propose a union of their houses to keep the peace. The fact that not a single house was willing to accept Paul as Emperor contradicts the very reason the Emperor thought he was a threat. What happened to their popularity and influence?

@@ReaverLordTonus I can understand, imagine you show up at Arrakis and you hear that some kid has overthrown the Emperor, claimed the throne, and now demands your submission. I wouldn't automatically bend the knee, I'd like to at least look into what the fuck happened lol.

​@@ReaverLordTonus They liked his dad....not Paul.

@@ReaverLordTonushe’s a bastard’s son. The leader you liked is dead. And this guy also just killed essentially 2 other houses. There’s a large possibility of fear from them that he’s on a genocide against every other house.

@@ReaverLordTonusPaul is not Leto, Paul is a terrorist leader who has been terrorizing spice production and now threatens the universe with blackmail to the most precious resource and what many are addicted too. They feared the emperors saudukar and could just imagine their defeat as a fluke, not knowing that the fremen are just as good if not better. Why would they bend the knee to this kid and again accept imperial rule when this could be their chance to escape it. Many reasons to not bend the knee.

Get the board game Dune Imperium, it is phenemonal

No, it's not. It's the path of death for people across the galaxy. from blind followers and Paul know what's gonna happen

I'm not sure whether he wants them to have some coffee in their most luxurious place or destroy them. Pretty big gamble.

61 billion reasons to disagree with you here ;)

Me too. I honestly got the same feeling I had when I saw the first Star Wars. People can have problems with the plot and writing changes but seriously today, with all the garbage out there, I was waiting for a film to give me goosebumps. The beginning when the Harkonnen Soldiers floated to the top of that land formation, for some reason a simple floating technique was what made me go “whoa”

Same, this and Inception were the only two movies I went back to theaters a second time.

same here I never thought I'd watch a movie second time in theatre not even marvels Avengers made me watch a movie second time in theatre

Same. Went to watch it by myself on of a Tuesday afternoon(I got off work early). Then, I got to see it again with my wife and some friends on the last day it was showing it at IMAX near my place that Sunday after. Both times were just incredible. Anyone who got to see this in IMAX understands how amazing an experience it was. I really hope they do some kind of special release of Dune Part 1 and 2 on IMAX right before Dune Messiah

Going for the fifth time this sunday, third time on the biggest screen on planet. I’m enchanted.

While something entirely else may happen

I see it as more disappointment. Stilgar is not a young man, and I think he truly believed that he would get to see a green Arrakis if they won. He's now resigning himself to the fact that he may die fighting another war, not even for his home, before it happens. He believes in and trusts Paul, but I think he still had his own hopes, and he's letting them go.

His closing of his eyes really sells that scene.

​@@12trillioniq25did you completely forget the next scene after this? he is screaming lisan al-gaib while going in a ship hyping everyone else and paul, what kind of disappointment is that?

I think he does it because he hears what he was hoping to hear. The prophecy. Every step of the way is going as he was hoping for, and he's part of the reason why. One of the many people who're part of the reason. He wanted a messiah. Someone who would lead the south. Who would be the "tongue of the unseen". Who would lead the people to holy war and paradise. Paul literally tells him this at one point but he refuses to listen. He's not interested in the reason, but merely in the stories he's heard. And Paul eventually goes along with the story.. Not that Paul is innocent in this either. He could have made many different choices at different points. Could have been more vocal about the fakeness of the prophecy. Could have stopped when emperor gave up and settled for being the next duke of Arrakis maybe. And maybe other bitter but less disastrous choices. But no, he goes to holy war for the sake of "his people". Even if that means death of millions

Rebecca Ferguson is the best actor of the cast. Her delivery can’t be better…

Rebecca Ferguson = Mother

just a lot of the great scenes in this film... it don't hit the same just watching it like this

Chalmette crushed it in this film, but that foot stomp alone has earned him a lifelong fan.

Same exact sound effect when he punches the sand to call and take the worm

I am very curious if it was Villeneuve's idea or his idea for this scene.

​@@frankiefisher6110 so learning to spell his name might be a good starting point

He does. He regrets that there's no way to avoid his destiny anymore, and the dominoes are falling out of his control now. 61 billion lives, 90 planets and 12 standard years that follow will compound onto that regret.

Me when I am unable to feel the tide of emotion that Hans Zimmer is able to create

Absolutely. The music is what made this scene.

When you need a musical shortcut to emotion devastation, you call Lisa Gerrard to sing five notes.

Hans zimmer is a genius

100%! The music already mourns 61 billions of life as a result of the jihad that Paul started

I mean, the guy literally tells her he will never, ever stop loving her in front of everybody. That look is basically just the icing on the cake at that point

I don't know what the point was. All the houses opposed it.

@@baloog8 if the president would execute your dad for unjust reasons I think you would try to get him out of office, wouldn't you

@@shadowbandit3975 He's a bad guy.

lol. Reading the comments I honestly feel depressed for being among the tiny minority of lonely nerds who had nothing better to do with their time than read all 6 books. but you don't even have to finish the series to know that it was kind of hinted that Paul survives he supposed death and sort of turns back on his dogma. Not that it plays any active role in the story. He's almost like a ghost full of regret and fuck should he be. with all the detah and destruction he's responsible for, he btter be sorry not that it redeems him in any way. He doesn't have the Dr. Strange "it was the only way" excuse. He could've just given up. It's not like the Emperor was going to destory half the universe. This story is a direct rebuke to dogma/fundementalism and i hope Hollywood sticks to that because wqe don't want more people inspired by ISIS/Paul/Worm God.

I kinda wanted Paul to stop the Jihad. But the fact that there's so much at work in this prophecy, it's too big for Paul to stop the war from happening even if he wanted to.

"I see possible futures , all at once and in so many futures our enemies' previal, but I do see a way. There is a narrow way through..." If you replace "enemies" with mankind's extinction it fits the series and the golden path he is trying to weave perfectly.

IMO, it's better than LOTR. And I am a big fan of both book series, read both many, many times. There is so much more tension at work in this final scene, there is triumph and tragedy all at once. It's not just black and white, good vs. evil. Both good and evil triumph here, it's more true to life.

This whole movie is mind blowing in IMAX, I’ve gone to see it 4 times (only once in imax, plan on going again since apparently it’s re-releasing). Heart pumping to the max.

More heartbreak and a girl that really is just hurt/sad

@@Acast009 It was definitely betrayal and pain.

@@marciasilva549 her face at the end - a warrior that’s battle hardened - was a face of a girl who was about to cry (her lip quivering was the most brilliant part of that shot) from being hurt and heartbroken. A warrior who’s been betrayed would want revenge and have a look of anger.

@@Acast009 But that's the beauty of it - she looks both hurt for the heartbreak and then angry for the betrayal. The reason why she refuses to cry and looks angry holding it back is exactly because she is a warrior and Fremen are taught to not waste their bodies' moisture. I suppose this is what art is though - subjective.

@@marciasilva549 yes I agree. I just think Dune is a love story and a story about heartbreak more so than messiahs and the faults of leadership. Hans entire score was centered around this love theme.

i noticed that too but I interpreted it as his Bene Gesserit skills coming into full fruition, and he was able to hear Gurney and the Fremen’s conversation before they even had to say anything to him directly. I love this interpretation too though!!

Yeah it's like he turned around and waited for them to say what he already knew, waited for them to declare the horror he has initiated

Paul before the water of life didn't want to start the holy war at all. But he very quickly comes to terms with it after the water. This makes me think that the future seeing abilities that he gains during the episode revealed the full picture of why the holy war is needed possibly because other futures are much worse than a jihad that kills a couple billion people. It appears that the movies are departing from the source materials quite significantly as it is Paul's son Leto that ends up doing this in the books.

Paul does lead a war though in the books. Leto creates the golden path

Yeah, actually he knew and accepted his fate from the very moment he accepted going south with channy

It’s also not a thing a director has to do commonly I feel like

Also the scene where Gurney sees Paul use his father’s Duke Signet ring to inherit arrakis by right and ascend to be the leader his father was. Neither of them wanted to lead, they were called to it.

Duke Leto in first movie: "On Caladan, we have air and sea power. On Arrakis, we need desert power. "

Yes we all watched the movie too, Captain Obvious

How her little chin quivers.. she is a great actress. You can see so much emotion on her face.

She is the worst part of the film. Everything else is perfect.

yeah, I think the end was excelent. She felt betrayal, sadness, anger, whe was worried about the war, and also hopeful that maybe the Fremen could be happier, also challenged and abandoned. It was amazing indeed. First movie was terrible, second is amazing.

​@@mrnukes797lotr is animated

Denis changed the ending but the book isn't your typical Hollywood happy ending either. In the book Chani stays with Paul but then sees him marry princess Irulan to unite the two houses. The relationship then becomes an odd threesome with Paul and Irulan as husband and wife with Chani as his concubine. I always felt sorry for Irulan in the books because she got trapped in a loveless marriage whose only joy in life ended up being taking care of her husband's kids that he had with his mistress and true love.

Just to add that the book also does not have a happy ending, Paul and Chani's child Leto had been killed in a Harkonnen attack earlier. The movie sort of skipped over that...

Life's about to suck for 61 billion people across the galaxy

​@@timovangalen1589 Don't forget the worm man

@@mrnukes797 Chani: "if our child was a worm would you still love him?"

Paul was seen as the likely oppressor in the beginning. Chani was afraid of her people following because of the religiosity of a messiah and the power that gave him.. Also Paul was not Freman(sp?)

This time the Fremen is the one doing the oppressing lol

⁠@@finnfisuwhy you don't understand is because you think Paul is a "good guy" he's in a grey area between evil as hell and evil

The point of the Jihad is to spread the religion of Muad’dib throughout the known Universe so that they bow to Paul and the Fremen legions. Basically the Known Universe and the Landsraad refused to acknowledge him at first so he had to go to war to take the Throne and make them accept him. Any other path would have led to his destruction and that the destruction of the Fremen, Chani, all his friends etc
