"There were a couple of scenes [in Dune (2021)] that were all about the training technique. There was one scene that I was quite sad they cut away. There are physical training methods, where Jessica teaches Paul the art of fighting with the knives that he later uses on Jamis [the Fremen warrior played by Babs Olusanmokun]" - Rebecca Ferguson for The Hollywood Reporter

DUNE (2021) DIR. DENIS VILLENEUVE

dune is about the forces that humanity lives at the mercy of, both natural and man-made. it's about how power exerts itself upon the powerful, how they're controlled by it as just as much as they control it. it's about how people become locked into a process of history that they as individuals are nearly powerless to control, so much so that even being able to see the future only serves to show how trapped you really are. it's about all of this more than it is about any individual characters and this is something that no adaptation so far has gotten right

My conclusion☝️🤓
