Without knowing what’s going on Mapes just met her god so it’s understandable she would make a weird noise.

Toxic Mental posted:I mean generally a film should be intelligible without having to read the book agreed, and I think that was DV's primary concern with the movie as a whole. the film shortens/moves around some plot lines in order to tell a cohesive story. In fact I would say that it seems like the film version of the scene is specifically constructed to help the audience understand the "maker" line without narration. the guard is not in the book scene, for example, but her presence facilitates the communication of Jessica's inner thoughts and intentions without narration. without any prior knowledge from the books, it's still not very clear from what we are shown why Jessica chooses to call a knife a "maker," especially since she's cut off from saying "—of death" by Mapes, but the entire scene is built around this interaction in the book so it would be hard to change it without throwing out the interaction completely. And the overall intent of the scene is received I think. Everything in it conveys to the audience that Jessica is a manipulator, has an adversarial relationship with the fremen, holds herself in high regard, and expects violence and treachery from others; all things which come into play in later scenes and presumably will be expanded upon in part 2 kalel fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Jan 9, 2024 |

I always read the Tleilaxu as Mesoamerican coded, but I don’t think I grounded that in anything other than the name really

Pretty much what I think at this point, though I did read it initially as "si-tail" so my brain sometimes just pops back to that. So inadvertently I imagine everyone saying it differently. Skittles.

If my memory of frank history serves that was also around the time when his finances were going south, so he had lots of monetary incentive to not publicly poo poo on it also. But that's one thing, annotating drafts of the next script reflects quite another level of involvement
