I am still amazed by her performance in this scene. She deliveres this partly ridiculous lines perfectly straight, and uses her eyes, eyebrows and slight head movements to enhance the lines perfectly. The way her eyes gets more intense with a hint of worry/desperation when she begins to talk about the Fremen prophecy is excellent.

[@seanseanston]

True. Definitely an odd and questionable bit of dialogue in an otherwise great intro, but used as you say might flesh things out better; it would be reminiscent of the occasional snippets from Princess Irulan at the start of chapters in the book :-D Hell, the continuous breaks in the flow of the story it would create would even simulate the experience of reading the novel for the first time and having to flip to the glossary at the back every so often to understand the terms being used.

[@anonb4632]

It would have been helpful for her to explain the Laws of ?Canly*, which are referenced in the script, or that Jessica is actually a Harkonnen. * Or however it's spelt.

[@el_Ewok]

I agree that this is pretty outstanding. It amazes me how well the music variations adapt to the speech: it starts with a smooth background sound that enables focus on explanation; then a dramatic pause for the next paragraph; then it raises a little when talking about the importance of the melange, which will be the mobile (nearly macguffin) which drives the movie; then after another dramatic pause, the music acquires a religious touch sounding like a great organ in a church when this princess talks about the fremen and the prophecy and Arrakis, 'also known as... Dune' and then we get to the landscapes of Dune with the main theme sounding the lowdest. It's really fascinating, how can this be done and fit, it's perfectly orchestrated

Criminally underrated movie. I watched it the first time when I was 13 in 1989 and it made me completely forget about Star Wars at that time. There is something very intriguing about the atmosphere Lynch has created with this movie and I think you will appreciate it more when you haven't read the books, because the "gaps" in the lore only add to the mysterious feel of the movie imo. A failed experiment that is still better than most of the movies from the last two decades.
