"You'll still be the only thing I ever needed you to be, My son."
This line alone sold me on Leto and his relationship with his son.

[TonaA.R.]

In Dune 2: "Father... I found my way" was beautiful!

[marc-antoinemarcoux]

''Your father was a weak man '' quote made me come back here. He was anything but weak.

[marykatezehr]

"I wanted to be a pilot."
Well, he'd have been one hell of a pilot!!!!

[sVieira]

I like how Oscar Isaac changed the line from "My father..." to "Your grandfather...".

Its very suble but it keeps Paul at the heart of the conversation.

[jordan-vllj]

the fact that the line was “what if i’m not?” and timothée put in the word “dad” just makes this scene even better

[mstKGf]

Another great line: "A great man doesn't seek to lead. He's called to it and he answers."

[mrrios]

I really love Óscar Isaac as leto. You can see he is a noble leader but also a lovely father

[balzenhazelnut]

My dad sends me this clip every time I go through a bout with depression and say I feel like a disappointment. It really does help.

[Wherethehellarewegoing]

Barely 5 minutes and it builds this relationship better than some full length films. This is very careful, thoughtful writing and its beautiful.

[gabrielm]

the difference between "somehow palpatine has returned" and this shows how important good writing really is

[tokyodove]

I love love love that beat that Leto puts in after 'if your answer is no'- the look on Pauls face is one of slight apprehension, as if his father is about to tell him that if he doesn't become a leader than something bad will happen. But then its a statement of unconditional love and support, and you can see such a subtle change in Pauls face to one of surprise...

[ExAnimoPortugal]

A modern movie that actually portrays a great father-son relationship.

[snakething]

I saw this movie with my dad, this scene was truly touching.

[jackserra]

Paul’s look of relief when he realizes Leto is truly a great father- it’s so universal, and so beautiful. This movie is far beyond film. I hope to show this to my own son one day.

[xavierelmasrur]

Forgot how atmospheric the film was, gotta rewatch it asap

[jasmindhulla]

It seems like Timothee Chalamet always gets the best fathers in his films. Other examples of this are Call me by your name and Beautiful boy.

[manasadasari]

The music, the way both Timothée and Oscar present the scene, literally everything is perfect about this scene. It teared me up and gave me goosebumps at the same time.

[dogboy]

Too often we're presented with a black and white, generations at odds with each other. It was both refreshing and touching to see a healthy and understanding interaction.

[jovazquez]

Just gotta say. Amazing acting from Timothée and Óscar here and incredible directing from Denis. Hans Zimmer's music is just so majestic during this conversation. It's like poetry.
