“The Duke is really two men. One of them I love very much. He’s charming, witty, considerate… tender—everything a woman could desire. But the other man is… cold, callous, demanding, selfish—as harsh and cruel as a winter wind. That’s the man shaped by the father.”
something about the way paul has grown so distant from jessica (it’s started after the gom jabbar test but it’s even more evident in dune 2) but at the same time he knows that at the end of the day they only have each other 🚬
also another little detail that i love about dune part one is how paul called jessica and leto “mom” and “dad” when they were still in caladan but once they’ve moved to arrakis it has changed to “mother” and “father” even in private
she [Rebecca Ferguson]did not want the role of Lady Jessica. “I didn’t want to play a mum or a queen or a countess. I wanted to play a drug addict. I wanted to have to lose – or gain – so much weight that it would be unhealthy for me. I wanted to be seen as a real actor.”
listen watching dune 2 as a dune enjoyer was a fucking spiritual experience but as a jessica stan 😭😭😭😭😭😭 had to fight the urge to k!ll myself every time she was on screen
the atreides being descendants of the greeks (agamemnon, menelaus) vs the harkonnens keeping the roman culture alive with their version of the gladiatorial fights
“Jessica stared at her son, seeing the oval shape of face so like her own. But the hair was the Duke’s—coal-colored and tousled. Long lashes concealed the lime-toned eyes.”

th, thinking of leto kissing her face tattoos..,.,.. murmuring each sentence of the litany against fear to her as he kisses them one by one,,? Hbbgnghngh i’mbgonna combust
