I think they gave the child actor for Alia a little too much heavy emotional lifting to do in this scene. It breaks immersion for me, and I understand why they might have cut it, apart from any broader pacing or narrative issues. She worked for the role she was given because she came off creepy AF and I think you’d have to spend a lot more run-time and effort dialing in her humanity than they had available to them.

I feel like I would like this Dune, not the new one. The main character fits better in this version. I’m biased cause I can’t stand Timothee Chalamett. He’s a manufactured nepo baby made in a lab, and trained to be an actor since he was in diapers. He’s unrelatable and soulless, so I just can’t with him

Why the hate on chalamett on this thread ? Sure he is rich and famous, goodlooking but the fact is he can act and is not a terrible person as far as i know but do correct me so why the hate ?

By all means take a couple of hours and watch it. It’s been a while since I watched it, but it’s full of very interesting choices, some better than others. I actually don’t really love McLachlan as Paul though, and the whole thing takes a very theatrical approach. I can see the criticism of Chalamet, but I think he does a fairly good job of leveraging the fact that he was trained since diapers and gets in to the role. Hell, being a guy who’s a little bit manufactured may make him the perfect person to play the Kwisatz Haderach.

Interesting take on Chalamet. I see what you mean about his being unrelatable.

I read somewhere that he hasn’t auditioned for a role in like 10 years, which is kinda fucked up for a young actor, it shows his connections. His parents were ultra rich and his mom was a Broadway performer. He’s been trained to be an actor since birth with no choice to do anything else. That’s why I find him so unrelatable, he as a person has never lived a real life, just this fantasy rich kid life. Sure he’s talented, but anyone who grew up with his privilege and opportunities would be

You should check out Jodorowsky’s DUNE, then. 🤌🏼
