Is that something we would have gotten out of this movie or is that something you would only know from reading all the books?
In the book it was revealed in the scene where Paul has a trip while he and Jessica are hiding in the desert, before Duncan finds them. I don’t think even Jessica knew - it was just a part of Paul’s ability to see through time? That was also the original moment where Paul learned that Jessica was pregnant, not before the attack In the movie it wasn’t addressed at all. I’m pretty sure the Baron acknowledging Leto as a cousin is closer to a “We’re rival royal families so we come from the same bloodline” type of thing
Also what was with the scene where Paul and Jessica peek on each other changing what’s going on there. Let’s explore that more
Yeah the book itself covers it, but in that Kwisatch Haderach article I posted above goes into detail as well what's going on behind the scenes in more detail. Also, the Wiki pages for all the books go into pretty good detail on all the main points of the stories, if you want to read ahead to know how this saga unfolds
Saw this at the Alamo Big Show, it was definitely a great choice. Between the screen and the sound, it was an immersive experience. The movie feels tense as hell right from the beginning and never lets up. There is a sense of dread throughout. Though I wonder if that’s partly because I knew what was coming after reading the book. The attention to detail in the world building was superb. The costumes, ships, architecture, and scenery really suck you into this world. But it also felt a little lifeless. Very few characters felt distinct or unique and it kind of drags the whole thing down a level.
All I’ll say is that it’s a good thing I was wearing a mask in the theater because my jaw was hanging open literally the entire movie. Brilliant, brilliant stuff.
