'Dune: Part Two's Most Ambitious Scene Has a Deeper Meaning




Few franchises have such a complex lore as Dune. In Dune: Part Two, Denis Villeneuve explores many elements of the original Frank Herbert novel while also elevating some of them with original ideas. One of those is the Bene Gesserit, the ancient sisterhood that has been pulling the strings of nearly every major galactic event for millennia. They are present everywhere, from laying the seeds of the Fremen prophecies on Arrakis to plotting the demise of House Atreides with House Harkonnen and the Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV Corrino (Christopher Walken). But the scene that defines them is also one of the movie's best and most underrated: when Lady Margot Fenring (Léa Seydoux) applies the Gom Jabbar test to Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen (Austin Butler) on Giedi Prime. It's the same test applied to Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) in the first Dune movie, but, this time, there are very different intentions behind it.
