I'd like to analyse this scene from the second Dune movie with its beyond-obvious occult and corrupted being symbolism, just out curiosity. This scene was the most iconic scene in the movie and what it's remembered most for. The comments under that video specifically were also interesting: "Out of body experience in theaters" "Whole planet:"Let's be as evil as possible."" The first time I saw the scene, I also felt something ethereal about it. It's clear that I and many others felt something about this scene that was... different. Usually, the hints dropped in movies regarding these matters are more cryptic or hidden, but this was very in your face corrupted being, other than having the people there (Harkonens) being literal Corrupted Beings, but basically as close to corrupted being as u can get. The Harkonens in this movie are not like the ones in the original books, which were red-haired. Here they're depicted as bald, so hairless like reps, the women wore clothes like scales. The voice of the speaker at 0:37 is undeniably corrupted being, snake-like, at one point literally says "Cobra", the intention was obviously to make them appear as corrupted being as possible while keeping them human. They're entirely the product of the director's mind, who I believe is Jewish, he looks Jewish but it doesn't say he is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Villeneuve#Early_life_and_education The occult parts will only be noticed by people familiar with it. "Under our glorious Black Sun", Saturn. The black/white grayscale imagery, also Saturnian, also symbolic of polarity and the extremist black and white nature of Corrupted Beings. The women wearing burka-like clothes at 0:56 also have cubes on top of their heads, the cube as most people here should know is also a symbol for Saturn. Their obsession with Saturn is a bit odd to me, since I don't see Saturn as evil but as the master of obstacles and teacher of responsibility. Perhaps the corrupted being worship of Saturn is a corrupted form, focusing on the death, negative aspects of Saturn. It could also be about power. I guess more knowledgeable people here can help me in figuring out why exactly they do that. But yeah, this iconic scene seems to have hit at a soul, subconscious level of many people, including me. I think people know subconsciously that there is a deeper truth to this kind of depiction, and why it's viewed as evil. Would love to hear your thoughts on this, perhaps you spotted something here that I didn't.
