Paul Atreid is a complicated character. By the end of "Duna: Part Two", "" " House Atreid's successor is climbing power and clearly releasing war through Dina's galaxy on the road. This twist in the story of the boy turned into a msesia is sober. It is not fully aligned with the books, and it turns out that director Denis Vilnev was well acquainted with that fact. In an interview with ScreenrantVilnev explained the intention to have a "break bad" by the end of the two -part adaptation of the first book of the Science Science of Science by Frank Herbert:

"When Frank Herbert wrote the book, and then when the book came out, he was disappointed with how people perceived Paul Atreid. At that time, he felt that people were talking about gender as a hero, and for him, he was an anti-hero. He was a dark figure.

Vilnev continued to clarify that Herbert had used the sequel to the first book to correct the problem. It also meant, as a director that adapts the source material, he benefited from a retrospective, as well as the two books he could work. Here's what he said:

"(Frank Herbert) wrote Dune Messia to correct (Paul's perception as a hero) and to make sure that people understood his intention. I knew that story. I had the benefit of reading" Dune Messah ", so I wrote" Part 2 ", given that. Therefore, the character of Canie is a little different in my adaptation than in the book, than in the book, and helped me bring Frank Herbert's initial intention to the screen.

Speaking to the total film, actor in Canie Zendaya also referred to changes with her character. She noted that in the first book, Fremen's protagonist meets Paul and is on it from the jump. In the adaptation of the film, it does not have so much ransom of Messian Atreid's actions. Zendaya said:

"In the book, Canie meets Paul and is like," Good, this is the boy. I support you. " Since in our film, it is by no means bent how it feels.

Canie reluctantly goes along with Paul during the end of "Duna: First" and in the early stages of "Duna: Part Two". However, as their relationship grows, it remains firmly focused on what she sees as properly and when Paul crosses the boundaries and free up a comprehensive war on Harconen's house and Padisha's emperor himself. In the end, she refuses to join his jihad to conquer the galaxy. The movie even ends with her to take a sandy shape in Arakis's dry dunes - Adjustment that is strictly different from its role in booksWhere, despite her strong opinions, she remains fanatical by Paul from that moment in the story.

It is easy to slip into watching Paul as a hero in the previous stages of the "Dina" saga. In the first book, he is a smooth young man who is manipulated by Bene Gesite and, through the connection of his own mother, accidentally becomes Their long -awaited Quisac Haderah. In the process of that evolution, Paul loses his father and many of his favorite servants, sees the material wealth of his family seized by Harconens, becomes a stone-cold killer, learns to survive in extreme desert conditions, and even Loses the child (something that movies are cut to maintain narrative flow).

Despite all this, Paul eventually becomes an undeniable anti-heroic figure before the end of his story. He passes most of the "Duna: Messiah" processing his own failures and the destructive path that broke it through the galaxy. In the end, he even flipped the script and preach against the path he set for himself, his family and frustrated through his actions. Although this is a gradual discovery in the books, the hero to anti-hero is happening much faster in Vilnev's films. The question remains how Paul's bow will continue to trend when we get the third and last installment of the director's adaptation. The good news is that The third film is already fast nextSo chances are we will get an answer sooner than later.
