I think there are two explanations for the weird "Paul and Jessica sexual tension" scene. Either it was to show how unfamiliar and uncomfortable they felt in this strange, new, uncivilised part of the universe, to a point where they didn't know what to do or how to communicate properly. Or the much more logical explation which is that Paul was dune his mom.

I figured the tension between Paul and his Mom implied how different their relationship has become. She used to get his clothes ready for him, guided him through their days and now it's the reverse. He's helping her with the stillsuit. I think it's also supposed to symbolized a mutual understanding that their previous life is dead (them taking off the old clothes) and a new one begins (putting on the stillsuit).

The context may not have been clear enough within the movie but the undressing scene was nothing close to oedipal. While Jessica has spent a good deal of time with her son it has been essentially training him. We see her emotions in the film yet these arent shared with Paul and there is little intimacy between them. Changing in eachothers presence is so out of the norm that even though they are on the run, and it is necessary for their circumstance to cease water loss, their looks to one another is that royal distance giving them pause. Paul only sees his mother in full dress being formal at all times. There are a score of servants. Theres no hanging out in pajamas watching tv with Paul. Its ok everybody. No incest going on here.

If needed I will hire you as a lawyer.

In the scene where they’re changing, what I see is Jessica being caught off guard by Paul’s sudden drive. His sudden ability to know exactly what they need to do, and exactly how to do it without wasting any time. It’s also her really realising that they’re no longer gonna be pampered royals, they’ll have to adapt to the environment and do whatever it takes to survive, no matter how uncivilised or degrading.

I thought the changing scene was weird as well but if you look at it where Paul is the one taking all the control when before the attack on arakeen Jessica was always in control, and then realize that since they've fled and since Paul used the voice on her in the tent, this is probably the first time she's really understanding that her son is actually grown. He sets down his bag and is just like 'we're gonna change into stillsuits let's go' blam without even looking to her at all for guidance or instruction or permission. I don't think it's meant to be sexual at all, I think she's just realizing she can't really think of him as her little child anymore, he's grown up very quickly.

Trouble is, deep down, Paul still feels he's just a more grown-up child.

I'm certain the opening lines of Dune read: " Leto, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Le-to: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of two steps down the palate to tap, at two, on the teeth." Herbert was hot for Leto and so should you.

Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion. 24. Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased...''

Yeah I think the viewers picking up on sexual tension between Paul and his mom outed themselves in a perfectly fitting Freudian slip. That scene portrayed the fact that necessity dictated that they change right there in front of each other and it was uncomfortable for them. The scene symbolized that their lives of comfortability and royalty were over and lives of dire brutal desert practicality were at hand.

I like the new baron, the Lynch one was gross but in a "poor" way, like one of the miserable tunnel-dwelling mutants of total recall. The new one is repulsive and mutated but in a way that you also think he's rich and elegant in his own alien way.

It's almost like Dune is just another turning of the Wheel, lol.

Duncan Idaho's portrayal seeming like a guy from a different movie is solid. Because Duncan Idaho lives in his own fucking world, he is the hottest motherfucker, best at swords, unbreakable good heart, and he's almost always a cheerful force, he's this fuckin Shonen Protag in the middle of hellscape political nightmare.

"The Baron was a jolly old lad" -Man Carrying Thing, 2021

I know this is a few weeks old now but I finally got the chance to watch it. I saw Dune 3 separate times and with each viewing the "tension" between Lady Jessica and Paul seems way less tension-y and significantly more Lady Jessica looking to see what Paul is doing since he's so much more knowledgeable about surviving Arrakis. It's a reversal of roles. Lady Jessica got Paul to where he is now and now it's Paul's turn to help her out. The tension immediately dissolves when you realize that Paul has pretty much taught his mom everything she needs to do to survive the harsh reality that is Arrakis.

I thought them looking was to ensure they were turned away while they changed

Disappointed my attack on Titan comment didn’t make it in. I’m still waiting on Paul to turn into a Titan and fight the worm

I guess what you see in Paul and Jessica is dependent on how corrupt your mind is. And apparently Duncan x Paul is also a thing among some people.

I think Paul not making choices in the first part of the book is intentional. He is seemingly thrust into the desert by a series of events he cannot control which force him to make difficult decisions later on.

Holy shit my comment made it in to the thumbnail. Bless the Maker and his memes.

To be fair Duncan was a useless character and Frank Herbert brought him back into Messiah as fan service. From then on he became really important. Also if anyone else says the Fremen are budget Aiel I'm going to murder someone.

Just finished the first book and I just got a spoiler.

my view on the scene where Paul and Lady Jessica where changing into the still-suits where that Paul know the severity of there environmental situation and need to get into the still-suit asap and so when their atop of the rock Paul immediately begins to get changed while Jessica takes a moment to realise what he's doing then becomes uncomfortable with the lack of privacy to get changed and hesitates. When Paul looks back he's checking to see if she got the picture before he goes on to change completely as I imagine you might have to stirp bare to wear a still-suit because of the whole recycled water thing.

I always saw the “changing scene” was like Jessica had never worn a Stillsuit and was looking to Paul as an example.

With the scene for Jessica and Paul I read it was an acknowledgement from Jessica that he isn't just her kid anymore, he's an adult and the now-Duke. So she looks away since they will no longer be as close as they used to be. 'She is now my enemy' on Paul's part. I guess that is still a little Oedipus, but at least it didn't go full Oedipus.

Lots of interesting perspectives. I enjoyed the film. I haven’t read the book. My wife has and she says me that it reads a bit like a history book much like Lord of the Rings does. She adds that this is why it has largely been considered impossible to adapt for the screen. We both enjoyed the film. I was actually concerned about the casting of Jason Mamoa because I find him to be an actor of limited range. So I was pleasantly surprised at the performance Villeneuve coaxed out of him. Regarding the 80s version of Dune, David Lynch hates the film and tried on several occasions to get his name taken off of it. Why? Because the studio took that film away from him. The final cut was approved by Dino DeLaurentis, the producer of the film. What you see on the screen is not with David Lynch envisioned. So when people say they prefer that version or even praise it more highly than the current version, in all honesty I find a little bit silly. Denis Villeneuve is fan of the Dune. Love it or hate, he put what he saw in his head as a teenager on the screen. I mean, how cool is that? Someone is always going to disappointed with screen adaptations. It has to be that way because no two people generate the same images in their imagination. I think the scene between Lady Jessica and Paul changing clothes was just about modesty. Who would be comfortable, as an adult, stripping down completely naked in front of a parent or child? I did notice a hat tip to Apocalypse Now and Brando’s Kurtz in the scene where the Baron is rubbing his face.

Lord of the rings is about anarcho capitalism being good and dune is about it being bad lol

In the movie when Paul is watching the ecology holobook, the movie says that sandworms can grow up to 400 meters, then 30 seconds later it says that the tree with the deepest roots in the desert can grow up to 400 ft. I loved the movie it was literally perfect

I found the scene where they change into their stillsuits weird, not because of the sexual tension, but more because of just how complex Paul and Jessicas relationship is, in the books it shifts between love, the platonic parent child kind before we get lost in that again, fear, hate, pride, surprise, and confusion. It's just all over the place at times. Deliberately so in my opinion, it just seems to hammer home more how everything could swallow Paul up and he'd be lost to everything happening around him and lose all his agency, after all most of his journey is him coming to terms with what he is and trying to navigate a path through it that hopefully doesn't spell disaster for humanity.

Now i'm imagining Seth Rogen as Baron Harkonnen and it's fantastic. Also, the Marlon Brando reference was because he rises out of the oil like Brando in Apocalypse Now.

I don't know. I really didn't get "sexual tension" from that changing scene at all when I first saw it. I will definitely admit that I didn't fully grasp what they were trying to tell us there at first, but I definitely didn't think anything sexual was implied there.

what is dune like a big hill of sand why did they make a movie of that??

Dune is sort of the prototype for a contemporary sci-fi story with characterization, worldbuilding, and narrative other than "wouldn't it be cool if THIS technology existed??" That's why it feels so weirdly similar to a dozen other things you've read/watched.

in the books when the planetologist guy was explaining the stillsuits he mentions that urine and feces are filtered in the thighs area, so there's that

The real dune where the friends we made along the way

Ah, so that changing scene *is* weird, glad I'm not the only one.

I thought Momoa was a good choice. Idaho is a warrior, perhaps a little naive but wise in his field. The scene in the barracks was a great depiction of his comfort zone. [Spoilers for Dune book below] Ultimately, though, Idaho isn't capable of adapting and surviving in the same way that Halleck is. So Momoa's embodiment of Idaho ends in a bombastic, dramatic, soldierly death.

If I remember it correctly, it was only mentioned how they look weird AF. Later we obviously meet one in Messiah.

Stillsuits I believe have a package for solid waste that is mentioned when Paul gets his first stillsuit from Kynes

I think the Paul-Jessica tension was this: now that Leto is dead, Paul has essentially become the man his father was. He now holds the power of the title Atreides, but is also distinctly at an advantage in the desert environment compared to Jessica who is more at ease in the court. The balance of power has shifted, with Jessica no longer being the matron, but rather entering a subtler advisory role. The change of clothing represents their uneasy shift into their new roles, and I think the look was supposed to communicate that they weren't sure what they were to each other in their new situation.

the reason the tech explanations aged better in Dune is because there are none, the primary focus is on the cost-based magic system (Spice) and it seems that they just tell you what things do rather than why they do that. Or at least that's what I extrapolated from the movie, I haven't actually read the book

What I find weird about the bagpipes is that the Atreides is a supposedly Greek line descended from the Argonauts yet they choose the Bagpipes who have little to no relation to Greece.

Don't agree that Stilgar deferred to Paul too easily. It's established that Liet Kynes was accepted and followed by the Fremen already as leader and he, like Paul, was not "pure Fremen" so there's precedence for the Fremen following those they deem worthy.

It is addressed in the books when they're describing the still suits they talk about a waste bag for the left over solids. Pretty sure it's the same part where they describe how the boots have pimps in the heels to run the water reclamation system

Reading the first book I viewed it more as an epic coming of age story where Paul has to fulfill the prophecy laid out before him and save arrakis and the spice. Reading the second book I realized that it is more about political manipulation and power rising from dogma, whether intentional or not. I really feel like the movies are going to miss this important point as I had.

Mans watering the fig trees was *mad* sweaty

I always read the Paul and Jessica changing scene, as Paul looking at this mom to ensure that she's doing wear the suit right, and Jessica looking at Paul to see how he does it, also to keep an eye on each other in since they are in such an alien environment with unknown dangers.

@@TucoBenedicto Thanks guys, though this was a joke.

There was no sexual tension between Paul and Jessica. Paul had just come to the realization that he was indeed a Harkonnen as well as a freak of nature, and he blamed his mother for these things. His heightened awareness because of the spice also brought him a level of perception that rivaled his mother’s and gave him a sense of authority. Both these things made them both uncomfortable, and not only is this implied by the movie but it’s also very directly laid out by the book which I’ve been rereading.

Remember the ones that were wearing orange helmets when Leto was granted Arrakis? Spacing guilds navigators. 🙄
