Stilgar attacks Lady Jessica | DUNE 2021

To those who don’t know, the reason they cut their hands was because the crys knife cannot be unsheathed unless it draws blood

"I judged hastily." Bro tried to kill her like 5 secs after meeting them go figure

[TayGizzle]

"What can you offer?"

Aren't they from a whole-ass planet full of water?

[samsypoo]

Stilgar: What wealth can you offer beyond the water in your flesh...
Jessica: 10 gallons of Crystal Springs water delivered to your door once a week.

I feel like this scene was cut short. In the book it emphasizes how huge a deal it was she bested Stilgar as he was the leader and thus the best of them. He accepted her because he wanted her to teach her fighting techniques and there was a good amount of negotiation. The also crammed in the fight with Janis his death and funeral. How Stilgar gave the name Usul to Paul after he admitted he never killed a man and paul beating Jamis without a scratch on him and crying for him was also a big deal as it fit him into the legend. Also how paul got the name Maub dib

This scene is too bright. Needs to be darker.

“Our conversation ran short”’sounds like a line from Mission Impossible! lol

[tyroned]

I think this was one of the best scenes. You get to see how capable Paul and Jessica can move in unaccustomed terrain. Also Chani's skills.

[brycebanaszak]

Stilgar takes position on Jessica, Jessica squares up without hesitation or fear after looking to her son as if to confirm a plan of action. Stilgar misses all of that and then asks why didn't you tell me? He cut the conversation off and yet she still managed to tell him he was about to get clapped 😅

I imagined Bene Gesserit as ninja-assassin-nuns in my head canon.

Jessica called tails on the coin flip but she knew what she was flipping for.

[JWilliamsLangley]

Great scene. The arrogance of the Fremen, and especially Jamis and Chani in their dialogue as the duel looms, is astounding. Jessica and Paul jacked up their whole operation in like 5 seconds.

I love the use of Chakobsa. I also think the choreography and filmmaking is very good here, contrary to what I've heard others say. Everything is very clear and you can see exactly what each movement is. They look believable. Jessica really seems to outmanoeuvre Stilgar and Paul looks extremely agile.

[KentoLeoDragon]

I don't think any filmmaker could do the scene justice. You have to read the book and be inside their heads to know what's going here, and how formidable a trained Bene Gesserit is against someone who is arguably stronger than a Saudakar.

[arnoldfernbladst]

I can't believe that Stilgar is also Anton Chigurh from No Country for Old Men! When I looked up the actor, I had to do a double-take!!

[gabrielshenanigans]

Loved seeing both Paul and Jessica engaging in combat with the Fremen. Brief scene but showcases both of their combat skill

[pierroch]

I love how in the book, Lady Jessica tries to manipulate the Fremen by basically throwing buzzwords at them to pretend like she knows their culture and religion, even resorting to use her Bene Gesserit training, although she knows very little about Arrakis and the Fremen.

It really shows a different side of the Atreides. They're clever, and use people the way rulers do, and aren't as heroic and "good" as they are in the film.
Really great scene nonetheless, I loved the movie as a whole, really captured the dreamy, almost religious, vibe I got when I first red Dune.

[vonn]

at least they didnt sheath their blades unbloodied

[randomcurrypuff]

I didn’t realize until I read the book that Jessica was “registering” Stilgar

01:36 Proper answer "Have you been to Calidan? It is a planet covered in water." (eye roll)
