Dune

[Darko]

Well, Paul taught them the 'weirding way' in order to gain their respect. He later took control of the fremen masses after riding the worm. The weirding way of fighting made the fremen even more vicious and unstoppable. I think Lynch needed something visual that could capture how powerful the Fremen were, and the weirding modules was definitely a good idea for that purpose. If I had read the book first I might have thought otherwise though.

One thing that bothered me is how the Fremen embrace Paul almost immediately in the movie. He had to fight to get respect. It wasn't just handed to him. *shrugs* oh well. I doubt Lynch was a fan of the books, else it might have been perfect.
