I love Paul's praise of Stilgar - "You think I'm stupid enough to deprive myself of the best of us"

​@@CHALLENGER_XNE it mean Paul recognises Stilgar's experience in leadership and battle. Though, Stilgar has succumbed to a follower from being a great independent leader.

[@CHALLENGER_XNE]

@@user-pm2b47ar8d In some ways I see that also, but given the context of the situation in this scene, I feel like it's more plausible/fitting that Paul is implying that he will not be limited from the best of us (the ability to speak freely at the top) as the newly self-proclaimed leader. How dare Stilgar infer that I (Paul) be subject to the same limitations as everyone else because I am the Messiah. This was just my interpretation of it. I much prefer the idea that he was praising Stilgar, though. He's my favourite character. :)

[@brunocamilliparisi9497]

"I dont care what you believe! I believe!" This is such a powerful phrase and my favorite from Stilgar in this whole move.

[@septicshock5663]

Stilgar's fanaticism made him unrecognisable to the man we saw in Part One

[@cederlex]

Something I really love about this movie

[@d-_-b8558]

Yes and no. He was much more reserved and skeptical in Part One. But after seeing Paul defeat Jamis, a trained fighter (even asking if Paul was toying with him in the fight), I think it awakened that dormant hope in him. Stilgar was just ahead of the curve and finally felt his lifelong faith was being rewarded.

[@Atrulion]

Yeah. I've read the books, and I remember being hella confused in part I, cuz I did NOT get Stilgar vibes from him. In part II, I couldn't be more happy of the perfect casting for his character

[@fairytaleandfablebooks]

It made him unrecognizable from Anton from No Country for Old Men.

[@eerrvvv]

Paul says the same about Stilgar in the books. In fact Paul hates how Stil went from being a mentor to a worshiper. He often compares it to losing a good friend. (Their bond in the books is more profound than what you can fit in two movies)

[@d-_-b8558]

I know it's played for comic relief in some parts of the movie in a Monty Python kind of way, and yes, it is funny at times. But Javier Bardem's portrayal of Stilgar and his fanatical faith is so fantastic. I sometimes forgot I was watching a movie in some scenes with Stilgar, which is an insane thing that almost never happens to me anymore. And that look in the south when Paul gave his speech, the wonder in Stilgar's eyes, that was palpable. I could actually see it on Javier Bardem's face. I could have seen other actors in certain roles in both movies, but Javier Bardem was BORN to play Stilgar.

[@Eastcyning]

It stops being funny after a while, in a good way. The glazed-over look in his eyes when Paul rallies the war council is terrifying.

[@felixhaggblom7562]

@@Eastcyning There is a quote from Phoebe Waller Bridge that really fits what they did with Stilgar in this film. "Disarm the audience with comedy, then punch them in the gut with drama when they least expect it." That's exactly what Stilgar's early moments do, they disarm us so that it truly hits us deep when the true face of fanaticism appears

[@user-uv7eb1fi4b]

@@felixhaggblom7562 To add to that: Comedy is something that people will remember, which is perfect because Stilgar's character development echoes a main theme of the movie; the danger of religious/political fanaticism. Also, it very much parallels real life. Conspiracy theories and those who believe them are typically laughed out of the room. It's comedic up until it isn't (when it turns into real, violent action, which the final scene with Stilgar perfectly underscores).

[@Kai-fb1ol]

@@user-uv7eb1fi4b I like how as the movie enters its third act and Paul really starts to push the Lisan al-Gaib stuff, Stilgar's character deterioriates into a simple fanatic, whose dialogue is essentially just yelling Lisan al-Gaib and asking his messiah for orders. The thoughtful, amiable and wise Stilgar from earlier in the movie is subsumed. This is exactly what happens in the novel, and Paul hates it.

[@shth34d57]

It's beautiful. His enthusiasm about his faith is inspiring. Stilgar has so much depth. He is also such a tragic character. I pity him. It is a pity we should try to remember when religious friends or family are blinded by the same. Faith is good. Blind faith is not. We should try to treat them with compassion, even when they are pushy - something I am trying to work on.

[@shehansoysa571]

In that instant, Paul saw how Stilgar had been transformed from the Fremen naib to a creature of the Lisan al-Gaib, a receptacle for awe and obedience. It was a lessening of the man, and Paul felt the ghost-wind of the jihad in it. "I have seen a friend become a worshiper," he thought.

[@AaronOmar-co8bn]

are those verses of Stilger included from the dune books? I never found that myself.

[@thelifewithnate]

In a way, it's a shame because he went from friend to worshipper and now reveres him almost to like a god-like figure. I wonder how Chani's role is going to play out in all this.

[@you-know-who5657]

One of the best lines which I remember from the book

[@matthewgrobel5587]

When watching the speech in part 2 I kept thinking of that part of the book.

[@nationalsocialism3504]

Hence highlighting Paul inherent weakness & why he was such a failure that he walked off into the desert to die while leaving that terrible burden to his son to carry for the next thousand years. Stilgar was only wrong in that Paul was unworthy since he refused to become the God-Emperor that he needed to be to walk the Golden Path.

[@TreyJ_mx]

Stilgar was PERFECTLY casted. Hell the whole movie was

[@WilliamEastop-mg7je]

My favourite character, I love his faith and his brutal one liners: “Shai-Hulud decides if you become fremen today, or if you die” Also love his delivery on “Lisan al-Gaib” when Paul takes out Feyd-Rautha And every time he says “as written”

[@duckie-zf3in]

Literally one of the most memorable parts of the movie for me was when Stilgar said "Lisan al gaib" when paul killed feyd.

[@johnwelsh7524]

"As written" was so much better a line than "again the legend". The best portay of the character.

[@atomicfiredog1995]

Faith in something more, more than just ourselves, our suffering, is a power that cannot unity like nothing else. When the pain would otherwise drive willpower from your body, faith demands you continue. Stilgar lost a friend when Paul awoke, but he gained his Prophet, and for him, that was a worthy sacrifice for his people, for his faith.

[@shehansoysa571]

​@@shehansoysa571and so many do not see the true meaning of this story eh? It's sad. At least you read the book and understood it my friend. 👌

[@Jon_EL]

Paul also explained it to Gurney in the movie but people still ignore it. He tells Gurney his troops used to be his friends now they are just followers.

[@faessle4067]

But the problem is by believing in Paul he will bring more suffering than the planet alone could have done. This faith will bring nothing but destruction. The paradise will never exist and the Fremen will die but in the process million other will die too, just because they believed in some made up story. That is the true meaning of Dune.

[@bahrunanggara7979]

It's not that people don't understand what is the real meaning og Frank Herbert's Dune. They do understand, But it's just a fiction There is no real victim here People aren't dumb But they crave balance, heroes and villain there's no different in a fiction A good story is a good story. It becomes different if it becomes reality

[@matiasaguilar2500]

1:38, oh man, the happiness on Stilgar´s eyes when Paul said exactly what he needed to say. Bardem absolutely killed it as stilgar

[@Subird]

and... he cries! Something he probably hasn't done in a couple of decades

[@rob4926]

That expression he makes stands out in every rewatch as just phenomenal acting, it’s so tragic, you can palpably feel him resigning himself to Paul, who he truly believes will lead them to paradise. A moment of pure religious ecstasy and miracle - and the relief that he has not wasted his life devoting himself to the prophecy

[@tripleD2301]

Stilgar, from the guy who never waste a single teardrop to a crying worshiper. This man desperately needs something to believe in, and Paul gave him faith.

[@trikpa994]

The overflown chills i got when Stilgar says "Mahdi, what do you foresee for us?" with such emotion finally knowing his faith has been proven. Stilgar/Javier Bardem is definitely the best character/actor in the movie after Paul/Timothee. Such a range from both of them. Casting done perfectly!

[@66dumplings38]

Love how faith is depicted here and how it's very close to reality. Faith acting like a double edged sword - one that can cut through any difficulty but also misplaced faith can cut the self and harm others. Such a powerful concept

[@shadowbandit3975]

Yah but faith in the universe is needed for humanities overall survival.

[@jg14gerhard_bar]

Best "SUPPORTING" actor. truly is a follower of LISAN AL GAIB!!!

[@LizardManFromTheEarthCore]

Poor Stilgar went from spitting in the halls of Duke Leto to "LISAN AL GAIB!". The true drug of these people was hope, not spice.

[@ryanhealy9026]

Religion is the opium of the masses

[@void-creature]

Like Paul, he's unrecognisable by the end. But where Paul's transformation is mainly horrifying, Stilgar's "Lessening" (as the book puts it) is also kind of tragic (but still horrifying, especially when he leads the Feydakin to holy war at the end)

[@DarknissPriest]

The spitting wasn't an insult. Watch that scene again.

[@ThatSaxyNerd]

"Do you think I am stupid enough to deprive myself of the best of us". This goes so well with what Leto tell Thufir in the first movie when he tried to resign. People allow themselves to be slaves to traditions and rules made by men that came before and that so often leads them to weakening themselves. People do not like to look beyond the next step to take. Honor and tradition help put you on a path but you will become lost if you only use those as your guides.

[@jeffmarlatt6538]

Bardem was a pleasure to watch in these 2 films. He combined the qualities of a noble, comedic & tragic figure in an effortless manner. Very well done indeed.

[@endel4754]

What's funny is that when Paul says that he is the Lisan al-Gaib Javier Bardem played pure happiness with so much talent that it reminded me that I was watching a movie. I thought "I never saw an actor play happiness so well". I don't think it was supposed to take me out of the movie for a second but it did 😂😂😂😂

[@empireravenshadow5]

[@thelifewithnate]

Ah, Stilgar, a man of faith in the end turned one of Paul's biggest supporters. A man trapped by prophecy but with a stern belief in it to the end. A lot of people makes memes about Stilgar but it does show you the power of fanatical devotion in a world setting.

The Fremen word for kangaroo mouse is “Muadib.” Paul took the name “Muadib” when he become one of the Fremen. So he asserts then and there that he is “Muadib”: the one who points the way.

Look Stilgar, and the weaving influences of the Bene Gesserit, are what make this movie fantastic. They're never ever the main focus, but without them the film is simply NOWHERE near as good. Stilgar to me is the best actor in this whole movie. Paul while the focus is just kinda in the background as the main character. It's super weird to explain, but he gets overshadowed in the subtlest way (throughout the movie) by the excellent plot and storytelling. Dune movies are so good.

The entire movie is about transmutation, in its abysmal form. Paul, after drinking the Water Of Life, is no longer Atreides but a genocidal tyrant. Jessica is no longer her mother but a machiavellian figure. Stilgar is no longer a fierce warrior but a puppet in the hands of a cult. The only one sticking to her way is Chani, running away on Zimmer's saddest and most powerful score, Kiss The Ring, in the final scene. What a masterpiece!
