Stilgar - As Written 

Have you met Erwin Smith from Attack on Titan?

@@NOplayerq cringe

​@@aydinbiber7616Nothing more cringe than using the word "cringe" in 2024.

The Onion Knight was pretty good too though

Ummm Aaron Burr introducing LaFayette?!

Its crazy how different he looks compared to no country from old men. Hes half decent looking in this and absolutely horrid to look on upon in that. Great variety.

His acting is impeccable in both movies 👏

as written

To be fair, Javier Bardem is perfect casting for pretty much anything. He is just an amazing actor.

By Frank Herbert

Truth. As someone who calms themselves from the chaos and challenges of the world with faith seeing Stilgar is like being seen, then seeing the fandom treat him is kinda sad. I know Herbert wrote Stilgar as a warning to how faith and religion could be used to manipulate you but faith is also a tool that allows some of us to persist even in the most impossible of odds. I love the movie and I love Stilgar's portrayal cause it feels like seeing the miracles you've believed but feel you'll never lived long enough to see happening before your eyes. It must feel like a Catholic suddenly being transported back in the time of Jesus miracles, seeing them firsthand.

@@yunantheobserver6841 this vid does a good job of showing Stilgar's (and the Fremen's) underlying hope (heavily emphasized in the book) of transforming Dune, and how this gets tied up (with a lot of Bene Geserit help) with their longing for the Mahdi/Lisan al Ghaib. And Vilneuve is wonderful in not trying to hit you over the head with the underlying faith and hope of his characters - it is there, deep in them, but they don't have to constantly repeat it.

If you're correct in the end you cannot be clownish. Your were actually the only right one. Stilgar proved that. And he'd never put faith in another off worlder before this so its not like he's been blatantly wrong in the past.

@@skillsmachine9164 it is one of the things Villeneuve excells at - he can set up a dilemma (in this case - are the prophecies true or just pious propaganda?) and then let the audience have at it rather than tell us what to think.

Agreed! This is one of my biggest complaints of Dune 2. I still loved it, but felt it lost some seriousness from Dune 1

They were Metropolitan "Northerners" so the deep feelings of Faith are foreign concepts to them... those Fremen lived lives of luxury unlike the Southerners who didn't have the abundance to allow lethargy to settle into them.

and Mahdi, don't forget about Mahdi

because its based on Moral values of top religious ideology. There is one who will unite believers behind him vs hypocrites and arrogant who control the world for their own benefits only. In other word, human believe in sci fi settings.

it really isn't but it's pretty good. People hype it up way too much. Plenty of other movies have it beat easily

@@Onticly oh no, I don’t know if it‘s the greatest movie ever made, but plenty of other can beat it easily, absolutely not

As a book reader I disagree...........

@@ecod7r Paul is not moral.

Probably legs too wobbly to run

Half of them probably could not move theyr feet because of the sand shifting/movement caused by the worms

it is ahead

Same

Best book adaptation in a LONG time. Best scifi movie in a LONG time. Think about what would beat it. Maybe Blade Runner, Alien(s), 2001, Back to the Future, The Matrix, Jurassic Park, possibly Interstellar... Villeneuve's Dune movies are certainly worthy of being listed among these. It doesn't beat Peter Jackson's LOTR... but even Peter Jackson couldn't live up to LOTR.

@@FalcristI would say these Dune movies are ranked up there with Blade runner OG and 2049 and also LOTR. Will stand the test of time for generations. I watched lotr for the 200th time the other day after I heard our beloved king theoden passed and still after 20 years those movies haven’t aged a day; it’s truly amazing what they did with lotr. Dune will be just like that in 20 years.

@@TiiberiusWAR IMO LOTR is significantly better than Dune. We're unlikely to ever see a book adaptation that good again.

Yeah he was boss in that scene, as usual.

@@MADGUNSMONSTERguy is an absolute unit. Javier Bardem needs more recognition for this role imo even though he’s recognized more than enough

It's legitimately heartbreaking to think of Stilgar's story

This! The most terrifying and saddening thing Paul says in the entire film is: " I will lead you to Paradise." That speech had me in tears!

Never got it, as nobody could predict what a being such as Kwisatz Haderach may do.Its still better than neverening stagnation and dynastic wars (please keep in mind that Dune's setting is for humanity a de facto post-apo setting).

After NCFOM the guy scares the bejeezus out of me must lookin at im.

Thank you!

@@F4STR.Do you have instttt…?

I appreciate it bro! 🙏

If nothing else, it shows that Javier Bardem has some *_serious_* range.

Thanks mate, that means a lot 🙏

Aren't you ashamed to use a nazi symbol? I'm pretty sure you're not even white.

Thank you!
