The latest release of Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two fulfills my considerable fan girl dreams. The film lays bare what it takes for a precautious and vulnerable young heir uprooted from his privileged water logged life to become a mythic figure in the harsh desert environment of Frank Herbert's famed Dune.
As Paul Atreides brings his enemies to their knees, shattering years of strangle hold - we cheer him on. The film adds more to the Bene Gesserit story through the women closest to Paul and provides even more insight into the sisterhood’s deep history and its goals.

I so reverently wished I could have a Bene Gesserit cult of my own! The Bene Gesserit knack for survival and scheming is most brilliantly personified in Lady Jessica - just as swiftly absorbed into the Fremen fold who view her abilities as yet another sign of Paul’s godhead.
