[@PizzaPartify]

I still dont understand why the movie doesnt show us the visions Paul has during the last scenes. Having read the books, I know during the duel with Fayd-Rautha Paul has visions showing him that the outcome of the duel doesnt matter; the Holy war will happen no matter what. When Paul says his last line (send them to paradise) it's not clear what is the future he sees that compels him to say that.

[@JayPotton]

The scene shot from above as Paul moves through the huge crowd of Freman is a visual reference to him being the Kwisatz Haderach. In Dune part 1 Mohiam says "Like sifting sand through a screen we sift people". The scene from above resembles grains of sand with Paul sifting through them but being separate because he is the Kwisatz Haderach that the Bene Gesserit have been working towards all those years.

[@chumby2447]

Except, he isn’t that’s the idea, we that read the books know what’s coming, while Paul is Lisan Al-Gaib he is not the Kwisatz Haderach

[@JayPotton]

@@chumby2447 hmmm I think that is arguable, his son LETO was certainly the KH but that was because Paul did not embrace or accept what prescience tells him he must whereas his son does and become The Tyrant or The God Emperor.

[@JayPotton]

To add - the Dune wiki says it better... As Kwisatz Haderach, both Paul and his son Leto would at times experience significant grief because they knew they were trapped by their own destinies. The Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam tells Paul when she first meets him that the spice melange allowed the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother to unlock genetic memory, but only that of their female ancestors. The masculine side of their ancestry represented a place in their consciousness that repelled and terrorized them. A Kwisatz Haderach would be a male Bene Gesserit who would have access to the memories of both his male and female ancestors as well as an ability to bridge space and time with prescient ability. Therefore it is widely acknowledged that Paul was the KH (the first one) and Leto was also the KH (the second one).

[@JayPotton]

@@chumby2447 I need to add more to this. Not sure how anyone can really think that. While the Lisan Al-Gaib is a planted prophecy by the Bene Gesserit that Jessica (and Paul) take advantage of, it is actually, ironically, a self-fulfilling prophecy. Paul IS the Kwisatz Haderach because when he takes the water of life, he not only survives but it awakens his other memories and prescience. If he was not the KH he would have died but instead he is everything the BG have been working towards, except a generation early and not within their control!

[@DVK7]

The best cut I have seen so far

[@theanatomyoffilmandcinema]

Interesting that in the opening scene to the first film, Chani asks the audience “And who will our next oppressors be?” Then you watch the end of this film, and you find out her next oppressor is someone who she was so close to, someone she loved, but also someone who used religion to manipulate her people, someone who succumbed to the corrupt Bene Gesserit prophecy by drinking the water of life, and someone who is in constant pursuit of power and domination, forcing the Fremen into a holy war all in the name of Paul, so he can gain power. The fact that Paul promises he will love her as long as he breathes yet goes immediately for Irulan is heartbreaking for her.

As someone who's only seen the movies, it's fascinating seeing his conviction as he says the word paradise, when we've seen nothing but destruction within his visions. Maybe they didn't show some revelation when he drank the water of life, but from what they've shown us he's falsely claiming something he's not seen once.

[@yujx0401]

He did see that. The failure is not on him and his action individually, but on the idea of him, the idea of needing to create a "messiah". The breeding program created him as the messiah, yet the power and ability he possesses could never lead to the promising future that the bene gesserit envision. It's doomed to fail and could only fail bc an omnipotent prophet and prescience would only be an obstacle to the advancement of humanity

Actually he is the Kwisatz Haderach and has total prescience. He can see all past and future and has supernatural powers. So no, he is not a false prophet. He was pursuing what Herbert called the terrible purpose in his books. It meant that war was the only way for human race to survive through the scattering of genes. Also Paul had to follow the Golden Path, but he recoiled from it and let the responsibilty fall on his son's shoulders. I regret that Denis Villeneuve's movie is giving way to a myriad of videos from people who did not read the books and misinterpret what is going on.

[@dosomestuff1949]

He does become egotistical and he does let the power corrupt him tho

[@Trebor6127]

I agree. These movies dropped the most interesting parts of the book and replaced it with the generic and banal. I'd add one thing though: Paul didn't want the jihad to happen, but knew that there was no way of stopping it, even if he sacrificed himself.

[@dosomestuff1949]

@@Trebor6127 because the message that Herbert intended got lost in the first book.

[@KonaLife]

It’s unfortunate that you read the book and still don’t seem to understand Herbert’s main thesis - that charismatic, messianic figures are tyrants in disguise and that people should be wary of a Paul Atreides in the first place, or that blind faith in such people can and will lead to mass death. In this case, more than 60 billion of them.

[@whybndsu]

My guy Herbert had to make it known to his audience that paul isnt the good guy because there are readers who still taught that he was the good guy after reading dune

[@JoInnovate]

The thing is: He is a tragic fate. He never wanted to be a prophet or messiah yet the circumstances of the war, the lies, the deception, the assassination attempts and then finally the prophecy of the Fremen and the madness like pushing of some of its believers almost left no other path open for him than to accept this future and finally embrace it. Deep down he never wanted it but honor and heritage are giving him no other choice so he chose to embrace and fully live it in the end.

Thing is he made Arrakis green so to them he was the prophet they were right to be loyal to, as that is what they wanted.

The story of Paul is complicated. He is not a "false" Prophet. He is a "manufactured" Prophet. The Bene Gesserit planted the idea of a "messiah" or Prophet on Arakis. So again, Paul filled the role. Did it better than they expected. And did "free" the Fremen. So not really false. Just different than anyone expected. Thanks for the great video. The other comments are right. Excellent work.

[@panosdks]

Appreciate it. Very correct take in my opinion

[@JayPotton]

IMO he became a self fulfilling prophecy. The Lisan Al Gaib may have been a manufactured story in service to the Bene Gesserit but Paul was the Kwisatz Haderach and ultimately did fulfil what the prophecy said the prophet would do. So then you can argue that the prophecy was actually real all along and the Bene Gesserit had unwittingly unleashed it because they though they had final control over all things.

[@donny1960]

@@JayPotton Yes. The Prophecy was fulfilled. The mechanism it was setup for was triggered by the arrival of Paul and Jessica to Arakis. You bring up a good point. Paul was also the Kwisatz Haderach. That was not part of the Prophecy. That and the Lisan Al Gaib served separate purposes. The Bene Gesserit did not expect or want those two entities to be the same person. They lost control of both.

[@zathary564]

But he's not a prophet by the traditional sense. He isn't divine, he isn't sent by God. He is a product of engineering and planning that spans centuries. The myths that support his coming are made up by the Bene Gesserit, and his birth and training are also made by them (well, his mother mostly) to fulfill said "prophecy". But does he still work? Well, yea. In the end he does have prescience and he does predict the future of humanity. He finds the one path to survive extinction and he does lead the Fremen and Atreides to rule the universe. He's not a prophet, but he might as well be.

[@JamesDeanStudiesLanguage]

He is the prophetiest prophet that ever prophesied. Given what he actually accomplished, what more do you want?

[@yujx0401]

I think the point is the breeding program created an actual prophet, as real as it could be, but it still leads to devastating consequence, even worse outcome actually.

No, hes much worse. You all don't seem to understand the source material just like Dennis. He ACTUALLY became a prophet, chose to take on the responsibility of becoming their demi-god and actually succeeded in changing the literal landscape of his mind and body to become a cross sectional living history of the fremen and rest of humanity, essentially, and used all that to guide humanity through endless war and suffering deliberately because he could see the real threat to humanity would be from without, one day. He is awful BECAUSE he will MAKE humanity do the right thing for the future survival of the species AT ANY COST. Even the damn director and son of Frank Herbert missed this point completely, and its the direct result of all the things that WEREN'T said. The absence of the thing creates the thing. Thats how the desert works. Its the absence of the water that drives the entire ecosystem, so its reall all about the water. Its the ability to destroy a thing that controls a thing in the spice. Its all the same lesson. Its the Tao. Its a guide book for self actualization and mindfulness. I personally think he wrote it to teach people what it means to become a true human being, and not just an animal. Probably for his kids/future generations to understand how even if you succeded in becoming a perfect all seeing god, you still wouldn't get it all right all the time and even if you did, it would end up horrible for humanity. Sometimes though, thats the narrow way through.
