this is the plot right?

"Long live the fighters!"

Dune: Part Two - Denis Villeneuve

watched dune 2 again for my birthday and it made me realize how much Dune is fundamentally a movie full of parallels that I feel where done really well - like, how visually after Paul drinks the Water of Life he starts to dress in a more Harkonnen way, in darker colours, and how he takes on Harkonnen attitudes (THE TWO SHOTS, ONE AT THE BEGINING OF THE ATREIDES BODIES BEING BURNT AFTER THE HARKONNEN TAKE OVER AND THE ONE TOWARDS THE END OF THE HARKONNEN BODIES BEING BURNT), symbolizing how he's decending more into corruption due to the power he's gained

AND the parallels between the fight Feyd has with who he thinks is the last Harkonnen and the fight he has with Paul - how in both, the eventually victor almost losses, but barely wins through using the other's own knife against them. The way Feyd gets pleasure out of both of them, but for different reasons, the way they are both fights for control and power

GODDD and ik the "silence" parallel has been talked abiut at length but the way the Bene Gesserit so often have to make the people taking the test kneel, and how Paul has to make the emperor kneel...

hear me out, okay, just... hear me out

Paul & Feyd were suppose to breed, right?

ten thousand years of the Bene Gesserit breeding program was supposed to result in a union between the Atreides and the Harkonnen, a union that will end the blood feud between them and produce the Kwisatz Haderach who will usher in the new age. they were bred for each other: Paul was bred for Feyd as much as Feyd was birthed into the world for Paul.

so, what if, bcs Paul ends up being AMAB, Feyd's conception somehow correct itself and Feyd is AFAB... bcs they're bred for each other, bcs they're meant to bred and birth the Kwisatz Haderach, to usher in a new age.

ten thousand years of breeding program... it's only right that whatever 'inconvenience' is automatically corrected. after all, they were meant to breed.

I canNOT get over how Feyd's cradling Paul's neck as Feyd prepares to penetrate stab him

i just know 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚 is the most played song on paul maud'dib atreides spotify wrapped.

This has probably been said before, but Paul watching the desert mouse in the hologram hiding and then doing the exact same thing moments later

THE PARALLELS ahgggghhh

summary of dune:

paul shuffling to the left just a little bit:

nobody:

stilgar: HOLY DEAR GOD ITS HIM ITS THE LISAN AL GAIB ITS THE PROPHECY ITS ON THE WALL WE LOVE YOU USUL ALL HAIL MY BOY

thinking about how (I mean I haven't gotten to far into the book and I dont remember too much of the 1st movie but) there's probably Bene Gesserit mad at Paul for being a boy. he the most transmasc coded cis character ever oh my god
