Question: I know what happens to Leto over the next millennia, what he becomes and how he meets his death. But what I don't know is what happens to his sister, does she live as long as he does, does she leave the planet, does she get married or does she have children? Do you perhaps know that?

[@xenn4985]

This is a really, REALLY bad reading... The reason paul failed was because he was biologically incapable of bearing the weight of the golden path. Why do so many people forget that he wasnt the end point of the breeding plan? He was an incomplete specimen.

"I want my brother." Wow - that still brings tears to my eyes.

[@klyanadkmorr]

I had an older brother who I loved dearly pass away barely a few years after I almost died from an accident. When I watched this scene and knowing Alia's loving adoration worship of her brother Paul made me cry like a baby with the actors who did a good job tearing up to support the tragic scene. Herbert's book version never did that for me, his was too matter fact Alia's possessed evil no remorse showing but to toss herself out the window. Like a ragdoll, I laughed when I read it back in the day.

[@jwmckiney3576]

That scene mirrored the scene in the miniseries when Jessica was explaining how it was a terrible thing she did awakening her to concours ess. Then she cries and Aliya takes her tear and puts it to her lips, then she says ‘I want my brother.’

[@Jerec]

Thank you. Just watched this and couldn't quite hear what she said.

[@LauraS1]

Poor Alia really never stood much of a chance for a decent life. She really had no internal defenses as she got older and sank further into confusion and paranoia from the inner ego memories competing for time at the window (so to speak). At least Leto and Ghanima had each other to share their inner challenges and then later, separately finding their own way "out" and being who they really are (in Ghanima's case) and what kind of internal communal organism they could be (Leto became an amalgamation of ego memories, a sort of colony organism, after the spice saturation occurred. I always felt the worst for Jessica because she loses everything on this planet. She loses the love of her life, her youth and bloom to the desert, and then both her children on the same day, one before her eyes. She loses everything save for her grandchildren who are not children and with whom she'll never have the traditional grandmother/grandchild relationship. No wonder she'd never want to come back.

Prob about 1% the budget of either Dune movie, but still the only adaptation to do any justice to The Weirding Way

[@TheBongReyes]

When people ask me about Dune after watching the new movies, they ask which adaptation I thought was the best “book accurate” version. I tell them the miniseries. When you get past the low budget and limited cast because of the budget. The effort to put as much of the books in the miniseries was amazing.

[@yourfavoriteshiba7645]

Low budget, but more lore accurate. I think that's a fair trade.

[@Nickname-ef9tv]

The miniseries far better catched how multidimensional politics in Dune are. The Bene Gesseret, the Padisha family, the guild navigators, the Tlailaxu, the Fremen, the new imperial cult, they all do not simply take sides for or against Paul Atreides, they have their own agendas and form a complex web of alliances and intrigues. Villeneuve's Dune is far more simple in that regard.

[@RicoRaynn]

It does a solid job of telling the story to those who have never encountered it as well. As much as I like the look and vibe of villeneuve‘a films, they are probably the worst at explaining the lore to someone who has never encountered the IP before. They look incredible, sound amazing, but blow balls when it comes to relaying the complex story.

[@northernpaladin66]

So true

What's so chilling about this scene is not only Alia's heroic choice but that it is the first few steps on The Golden Path for Leto. 3 millenia later and how different, and how ready for his end he becomes.

[@LaineyBug2020]

That 'I want my brother' gets me every time. Love the mirror of the scene from her childhood. Such superb acting. I hope the new Alia does her credit someday. It'll be hard to beat James' Leto as well, even though he's supposed to be 9.

[@mnomadvfx]

The problem is verbal and emotional acting is hard enough for a child, add physical acting on top of that and you really just can't expect to put a child through that kind of treatment. Even Hollywood has its limits, if only for the sake of appearances.

[@PhilAlm92]

@@mnomadvfx Yeah, aging up children in screen adaptations is usually the way to go. Game of thrones did it as well

[@TheOakenTundrawolf]

The Golden Path was Muad'dib's vision. He recanted the turning of the desert, which makes sense, the desert was where he met Chani. He was blinded by the path set before him, and the death of his wife. In the desert he had a new vision, the Golden Path. When Leto II was in the desert with his long lost father. Muad'dib relayed this new destiny to him. Upon Leto II's death, Arrakis became a desert once more. A lineage, a mere semi-catastrophic heart throb in time. The desert consuming what was once Muad'dib. The sands of time consume everything in the end. But sand does not disappear, it only changes form. The Atredes had many descendants. Were it not for The Golden Path, the Atredes would have been wiped from history completely. They might have lost their dynasty, but they preserved their name. The skies of Arrakis weeped because of Muad'dib.

WOW, this sense still hits me hard. Alia is such a tragic character fighting all the voices and compulsions in her head--not alike many of us who must confront our own internal demons. May she rest in peace.

[@Gyrant]

Dune is full of tragic characters. Alia, Paul, everyone named Leto, etc. The Dune Saga did "Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" better than any other. The greatest of them all being Leto, who knew he was choosing to be the villain for millennia to come, and could only hope his plan would work and save Humanity and maybe someone in the deep future would understand his choice and redeem him.

[@mnomadvfx]

Alia is basically Ikarus. Her genetic memories are the sun and the spice are the wings. Point being she flew a little too close to the sun and got burned down.

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

@@mnomadvfx Except that Icarus had a choice and he flew too close to the Sun because of his pride while Alia didn't have choice and later even control over herself. So no, not a valid comparison.

[@Germania9]

If the 2020 movie version becomes successful, I hope the sequel keeps this scene. It's far better scene than the book, shows how Alia came full circle, her vulnerability and deep down, she still loves her mother.

[@dante6985]

"It's far better scene than the book" - Strongly disagree (not that you're obliged to care). It's a good scene, and effective scene, but just different. In the book, she still calls out for her mother and ends up jumping out the window because it's all she has within her strength to do (and it's one of her two choices from the Leto II, the other being the Fremen trial of possession, which she will fail.) Here, Leto II gives her a knife, kinda saying "taking your own life is your only way out of this". The window was probably omitted more for budgetary reasons, given the scale of sci fi's limited sets, then any narrative purprose.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

It is a good scene, but I prefer just the utter tragedy of her death in the book. It's so sad and brutal in the book and I love it. I do like this version, but not over the book.

[@patrickmcglonejr8163]

It has been successful my friend ^_^, I hope they do another rendition of Messiah and Children of Dune

[@sallysanchez8891]

I actually agree with you here. The beauty of the simplicity in this adaption's version of this scene just speaks wonders for the characters. Not that I don't like the book version, but they did the series so so well that I have to agree, I find it's beautiful and tragic and brutal all at the same time but it's subtler brutality, which somehow seems even more tragic. The acting is phenomenal. I wouldn't say that you prefer anything over the book in public though, because you'll have people jumping on your back from every direction. The following for the book is absolutely massive and quite a bit obsessive, not that that's bad, but it means the Dune loyalty is to the book over anything else, so saying something is better to do with Dune won't go down well. :)

[@Greenalex89]

Poor Alia had no one to protect her from the inner voices, while Leto and Ghanima had their parents. Why was Jessica absend for so long? The twins were surprised by Jessicas sudden visit and Paul has fearfully forsakened the golden path. If anyone, only Paul had the sight or premonition of what might happen with his sister. Maybe her fate was engraved into the path he chose or tried to refuse to chose. Before the twins were born, Paul suffered from the awareness that no one will ever truly understand him (and his sister) and their inner torture. He and Alia suffered from being hopelessly alone in the universe. He couldnt bare it and exiled himself, leaving Muad'dib behind, while Alia gave in to the demons in hopelessness and desperation. She knew only her brother could comprehent what she was going through. Perhaps that was the reason her final thought was of Paul. The last grasp of hope and, at least, some salvation through understanding in a inevitably lonely life, till the very end. Thinking about this makes this scene dozens of times sadder..

[@khalduras784]

The twins had each other. Their parents were mostly absent aswell. Sadly Alia was pretty much abandoned

[@Tulane_Gargoyle]

I love that look at 3:54. It is like he is saying in a mocking tone, "Great-Grandfather Vladimir, is there a problem?" Leto knows Alia will not allow Vladimir to harm him. I also love the look at 4:23, where Leto lets Alia know he loves her, and he forgives her for what the Baron made her do.

I don't remember if she tried to fight him in the book or not, but it makes sense that she would at least try. She was so powerful even in Messiah that she could push the practice dummy machine to its limit. Even Paul was shocked at how advanced of a fighter she was.

[@shikary100]

You have to admire Alia for trying to stab Leto after he mopped the floor with all of her guards

[@klyanadkmorr]

lol that is another reason why I like this version vs the books because it shows ALIA of the Knife lore about her fighting knife expertise. She was fully possessed in the thrall of the Baron personae SHE WILLINGLY EMBRACED ACCEPTED TO CONTROL HER TO MAINTAIN POWER and support her hate of her mother & jealousy of her niece&nephew. She chose to respond & feel that way as if a poor wittow girl victim with all the Rev Mother ancestor power she had at her fingertips but CHOOSES the BARON, she killed, as her protector mental power. As a reader fan I don't feel sorry for her once into Dune Messiah she was given power during Paul's reign & full tyrant leadership after.

[@michaeljohnson5444]

I was a kid when I read the original trilogy, and I have always thought that Alia Atreides is one of the most effective tragic characters in all of SF literature. I remember thinking that Amavia's performance was sometimes uneven, but this scene (and the scene when she confronts "the Preacher," witnesses his death, and is dragged away screaming) are absolutely fantastic. The slight changes they make to the way it plays out in the book, including the callback to the scene in the first mini-series...the tear and "I want my brother," bring the tears every time. So well done. I'm actually surprised this didn't lead to more roles for Amavia. She had to carry a lot of this mini-series...apart from a brilliant first performance from James MacAvoy.

[@MichaelMaxwell747]

I was completely captivated by Amavia and her portrayal of Alia The Knife!

[@mnomadvfx]

The greatest irony is that Alia had her mother to protect her from the worst of abomination and yet the twins managed to escape it without a mother or a father capable of helping them (Irulan does not count, she's a Bene Gesserit but not of a degree capable of helping them).

[@gordonfreeman-g5w]

I just watched this today and man. What an emotional episode. I actually felt so sorry for Alia. After finishing the book I wanted to see it how it looked on screen. I feel sorry for Alia because she didn't ask to be pre-born, and it's as if her life was cursed from the very beginning, destined for life of turmoil because of her power. And Jessica, losing her entire family on that planet on two separate occasions (apart from the grand kids). It's safe to say she probably never returned to Arrakis for the rest of her life.

[@AuskaDezjArdamaath]

Maybe, if Jessica had not abandoned Alia like she did. If she had shown her love and affection. Maybe Alia would not have fallen to abomination. She had the deck stacked against her by her mother’s choice and was left behind.

[@klyanadkmorr]

Jessica DID show Alia love and left by the time Alia was a grown woman and a priestess. It was ON Alia to not hide her internal problems when people asked she only opened to Duncan a 'robot' sworn to her. So stop blaming Jessica. People complain when others try forcing help on people who refuse and Alia was full on her greatness feeling she should have been the Kwitzach or had the messiah baby. Alia FELL to grandfather Harkonnen because she as her own choice became greedy for power attention and looked to the voices without protection ON HER OWN KNOWING THE DANGERS from centuries of memories. She knew and Jessica had nothing she could do to stop or help any more than the internal knowledge ALIA ALREADY HAD.

[@TheMarkmcr]

​@@klyanadkmorr the books were quite clear on the problem being that she was never allowed the time needed to form an identity of her own. She was stuck with the mentality of a child and used the memories to give the illusion of maturity. Like modern age of consent/conservativorship laws, jessica should have known better.

Which is why I criticized the new Dune movie viciously because there was 15-20min of filling scenes to bring out the internal & intergalactic politics and character traits arcs cut left unincluded and the director REFUSES to release for blueray or DVD or HBO stream a longer version edit. Making the 3 movies like he's just did the first section is worthless IMHO, because the 3rd is going to gut truncate squeeze Dune:MESSIAH into. If Deni had instead replicated the scenes script of the Syfy TV 3 day DUNE only series THEN this new effort would be worthy but then people are only interested in pure action spectacle now that Disney MCU has taken over theater content style. Things like Lord of the Rings would nowdays be considered too talky bloated.

[@peachmelba1000]

​@klyanadkmorr Thank you. Villeneuve is a good technical filmmaker, and Arrival wasn't bad, and neither was 2049, but his Dune is garbage. Aside from what you mentioned, the Harkonnens are just so off the mark, in terms of tone. Way too obviously sinister, from a visual point of view, and the Baron just grunts a few words here and there. The Baron is one English literature's greatest characters, let alone villains, and he's just reduced to a bad Marlon Brando impression in a suspensor suit. And ffs what the hell is with that stupid vocal thing in the score every ten minutes? It's so on the nose. Incredibly corny. The movie _looks_ great, and I really have no issues with the casting even, but again, it needed to be a series. It's a very valuable story about human nature and to reduce it to just an entertainment product is incredibly cynical.

I'm really excited how this will play out in Villeneuves version. I hope they cast a good actress for the role of Alia.

[@jaweel6205]

I think their doing a trilogy, with an adaptation of Dune Messiah being the final act

[@LaineyBug2020]

In my head canon, even though it's not really in the book, when Jessica leans her head against Alia, she they are sharing. That way Alia can live on and Jessica can help her with the Baron.

[@bigbunduru5136]

The ending of this book is spectacular.

[@TheEarlThePearl1]

Is everyone gonna just gloss over that weird roar Leto II let out when he walked in?

[@klyanadkmorr]

The sandtrout have already gotten to his vocal chords & more in the books, this just SHOWS/you hear LetoII has transformed to become in-human part worm. The fact everyone suddenly turned their heads in shock hearing him roaring while both he & Ghanima enter did not seem like GLOSSING OVER hearing him roar.

[@TheEarlThePearl1]

@@klyanadkmorr yeah I know all that. I was more referring to no one mentioning it in the comments. It made me laugh since a good roar sound effect clearly wasn’t in the budget. They did the best they could tho.

[@klyanadkmorr]

well Sandworms are FICTIONAL and you hear the WORMS thru the series, so those SAME roars come out of Leto's mouth slightly less rumbling because SMALL HUMAN body. really there is no proper Roar to be had from a 5'9" actor just gaping his mouth open.

[@metalore]

2:57 you believe that is The Baron in there. And that Alia fights him and wins, and destroys the Baron at the cost of her own life. Great job.

Such a sad scene and so tragic was the life of Alia. It was effectively and well played.

[@molasorrosalom4846]

Julie Cox is a goddess.

[@FaithNoMore223]

Quite possibly

[@Atrulion]

Imo, this was way better in the book. The way she unexpectedly just drops from the window and doesn't even scream on the way down is just so much more tragic. I might have forgotten some details from the book btw. But here, you see it on her face, you fully expect it, and they hold you there knowing what's gonna happen for way too long.

[@westloves]

The tragedy of St Alia is beyond words, it gets me every time.

[@Savior20061]

Saw this scene years ago as a kid but didn't know what movie it was from. Glad I found it after 15+ years.

[@ultmotive]

This is gonna be hard to beat if they adapt these books. While the special effects are dated here, the acting chops of this cast are top tier. I felt like some of the dialogue in the recent movies, especially part 2, were a little too Marvel MCU'd

[@klyanadkmorr]

ITA, I review Denis recent movies as epic eye candy real desert feel that needed the Syfy WRITER SCRIPTS. Syfy has Better Fremen village seitches feel life scenes than Dune2 Chani gossiping with her Mall chick friends ogling dragging boitoi Timothee-Paul

She was such a formidable little girl in 1982, she should have went and joined the Jedi Order.

The Bene Gesserit are the SW Jedi Order. Alia would have sided with Palpatine and the Sith as she's anti-BG who damned her as Abomination.

"Hoopla" is a free service connected with a lot of public libraries in the US which has it to stream, if that's relevant for where you live.

The Alia actress was the best actress in the series. This, the Sci-Fi channel version is a better rendition of the books than the current movies (2024) but I like the current movies too.

how difficult to just become a member of the family, sit next to your child and calm him down... “Mother,” Alia pleaded in her little-girl tones. “Mother, what’re they doing?
