dune fandom!! so today i learned that the voice of this little guy...
Tumblr media
belongs to none other than A SQUIRREL. specifically, it's from a recording that dani connor wild (a wildlife photographer) made in 2020. the squirrel is named "baby pear." that's right – our friend the muad'dib carries the legacy of baby pear :)

prescience as a plot device in DUNE: PART TWO (2024) and ARRIVAL (2016)
protagonists paul and louise both use prescience as a trust-gaining tactic — a "narrow way through," if you will. let's start with paul, who treats his foreseeing ability as a sort of pseudo-telepathy. he sees a possible future where he lives among the fremen and hears their personal anecdotes. then, he simply parrots their own stories back to them to prove that he IS the lisan al-gaib, the voice from the outer world, the unstoppable foreign power who can and will not hesitate to lead them to paradise. you can physically feel the buildup of fear and reverence among the fremen in that scene as paul's immense bravado dispels all skepticism.
dr. louise banks exhibits a similar case. whereas paul is the messiah of the fremen guided by the bene gesserit (through lady jessica), louise is a hero of humanity guided by the heptapods. i'd like to bring up that amazing scene where she looks into the future to see general shang at a celebration of peace, and he ends up telling future!louise exactly what past!louise did to save the world — which she uses to her advantage.
as it becomes apparent over the course of these films, there's something so devastating about the course of action taken by both protagonists. sure, they save the world, but what do they get? complete deprival of humanity and what it means to be a human. they sacrifice self-fulfillment for the fulfillment of a larger prophecy or ideal. after all, how can a person look up to their equal?
take paul and his personal relationships for example. chani of course, but also his closest friends and family (jessica, leto, gurney), are reduced to nothing more than simple variables in the prophecy. and take someone like jamis. in the film, there's a moment where paul says "jamis, talk to me," and these visions of smiling jamis fill the screen, and suddenly we're watching one of paul's futures where he and jamis could have been friends. it's genuinely heartbreaking for paul to see all these futures wither away right before his eyes.
Tumblr media
the ending of ARRIVAL is equally shocking to me. great, thanks for saving the world! here’s a lover, and a daughter, but wait, you’ve seen exactly how and when she’ll die from cancer. you’ve seen exactly how and when that very lover will leave you as a result of your passive premonition. but how could you have told him, that you knew everything and could only watch it happen? this was louise’s dilemma.
Tumblr media
paul could have found a unconditional community, a place he truly belonged to and identified with. louise could have found her own family, with a loving husband and healthy daughter. their finales present them with everything and nothing: they receive all the recognition in the world, leaving nothing to themselves. the paradox of total control while having no control at all.
