About Dune:
Oscar nominee Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival,” “Blade Runner 2049”) directs Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures’ “Dune,” the big-screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s seminal bestseller of the same name.

A mythic and emotionally charged hero’s journey, “Dune” tells the story of Paul Atreides, a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people. As malevolent forces explode into conflict over the planet’s exclusive supply of the most precious resource in existence—a commodity capable of unlocking humanity’s greatest potential—only those who can conquer their fear will survive.

[Mr.Limekiller]

Imagine this: An actor is sitting on a stage with easily 30+ people watching him and pointing cameras/lights at him while he puts his hand in an empty box and is pretending that he is feeling the most pain he has ever felt before. And he was so convincing that you forgot you were watching a movie.

Who’s here after seeing Paul bring the silence right back to the reverend mother in the dopest scene in the second movie ??

[wijGaming]

The look on Paul's face when he looks back at the Reverend Mother is so awesome. He's half glaring and half blank-staring back at her. He's furious with her but in complete control of himself and she knows it. She can also see glimpses of the power he holds and she knows that she can't control it. She's terrified.

[katphisH]

In the book, the shot at 3:29 is what Paul thinks has happened to his hand, the pain is so intense he thought his hand was chemically destroyed or burned. When he takes it out he’s surprised that it’s completely fine

[EiHelveta]

Listened to Dennis Villeneuve talk about this scene, he described that one of his favorite parts of the scene is the room. It's filled with books to the brim to communicate to the viewer that in this future, machines and technology serve an entirely different purpose and are far less important than we'd think.

[Furanku]

0:38 was actually a brilliant scene. It showed us the POV of what it probably felt like being under the influence of the voice. One second you're standing by the door, the next thing you know you're kneeling in front of her without knowing it.

[dublinrydergaming]

“Consider what your about to do Paul Atreides-“

“SILENCE!!”

[tabularasa]

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

[HorseheadNebula]

Let's not gloss over how incredible Charlotte Rampling plays off of him here. She is terrifying at the start of the scene, and yet by the end of it even she realizes Paul is a force to be reckoned with. She turns that reaction on a dime, and it works extremely well to highlight Timothee's performance. Outstanding casting all around.

[stubbz]

I remember this scene in the movie theater. Not a single noise came from anyone during this scene. That’s how engaging and intense it was. No popcorn, no talking.. just absolute silence. The way a movie should be. I spent $15 to see it. Was well worth more.

[Joanafandrade]

"How dare you use your voice on me?" Very powerful the way he says it.

[morryau]

i love this scene. you can feel the anger and rage in his eyes when he first looks up . then the contempt as if to say "is that all you've got."

[juliananacci]

3:05 - 3:46

Timothée's acting here is outstanding. The way he turns his pain into anger and you can see it in his eyes. Actually, this whole scene is amazing, but his acting here deserves all praise.

[LordCommander-uifw]

3:06-I love this moment because this is the moment where Paul begins to overcome his fear and pain, to move past the primal emotions trying to take back control of his body, and take back control of himself. We see our first glimpse of the intense power within him, the power that the Bene Gesserit have been trying to cultivate and harness for thousands of years, and the most awesome and terrifying thing about it? The Reverend Mother can see it too and catch a glimpse of the glory and horror Paul Atreides will unleash upon humanity, which scares her. Because it is not part of her order's grand design, because, at the very last, crucial step in the plan, Jessica changed things irrevocably. Their Savior has come at last, and he is beyond their ability to control.

[nightbender]

There’s something so elegant, beautiful and regal in Dune I haven’t seen in a fantasy project since lord of rings. There’s a sense of majesty and timelessness. I love how their vision of this world is this brutalist minimalism that gives it this elegance and elevated it.

[beltransanchez]

Oh he took that silence personally 😂I can tell you that much after watching part 2

[samarthlangalia]

The scene of "Silence" from Dune 2 hits so much harder after watching this scene and the first Dune overall !!!

[Kosomaddo]

I love how Paul waits a full 10 seconds after she says "Enough" before removing his hand from the box, to show he's in complete control.

[galahad]

3:05 that sudden control over his pain, and defiance in his eyes, for the reverent mother.and her seeing him master himself over what she knows is more pain than what he should've endured. chill every time

[MsSkimChai]

Love this scene.

The moment Paul looks up and locks eyes with the mother superior, she's like, oh F*ck!
