"Lead them to paradise."
The best experience I've had at the cinema so far. Because that's what this movie is... An absorbing, otherworldly experience.
This is enforced by every aspect of it, the imagery, the script, the soundtrack, the characters, the tale... It somehow manages to transport you into a whole other universe, while still focusing on the basic emotions and complexities of each character. It dares to be grand, without ever losing its soul.
I noticed at least three scenes that made the whole theater hold its breath, as if we were experiencing history unfold. The first one was the black and white arena scene, with all its raw brutalism. The second one, the magnificent arrival of the worms for battle. And the third one was, of course, Paul's speech, the climax of his fascinating arc. "Fear the moment."
It's an overall epic movie, a tragic cautionary tale about blind religion and false gods, a theme which never ceases to be relevant. Each character only earns your respect and your pity, as they take the paths they believe to be right for them. And the sand, with its song, is a permanent character of the movie, reminding us of the harshness and the vastness of the universe.
"The beauty and the horror."
