Movie Review: ‘Dune’ is a contemporary sci-fi Messiah tale!

 ‘Dune’ is a contemporary sci-fi "Messiah" tale!



Depicted by Timothée Chalamet, Paul Atreides is the protagonist of this epic, successor to the House of Atreides, a youngster unsure of his predetermination who predicts his own passing—and whose conduct and intrinsic information adjust to the predictions of the Fremen, the abused desert individuals of Arrakis. Conceived by an unmarried mother, Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), Paul has dreams that are spooky by a Fremen young lady, Chani (Zendaya), and his vision that "Someone will hand me a blade"— as he articulates with a feeling of treachery that proposes being denied multiple times before the cock crows. The weapon he envisions is a "kris" blade, which etymologically doesn't derive from "Christ" however is referenced regularly enough to make one wonder.

Paul is the successor to an incredible line of intergalactic heroes, Paul likewise might be the saviour the Messiah figure predicted in different prophesies. 

After the leader of the domain to which Paul and his family belongs delegates his dad, Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac), legislative head of the titular world — a desert planet rich in an exceptionally valued spice — the forces the duke orders gets involved with a fight for control of its populace and assets. Their vital resistance comes from an opponent family, the wretched Harkonnen.

As the battle unfurls, Paul looks to copy his savvy and illuminated father. However, his priestess mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), steers him toward a more strange predetermination. 

Joining components of an outfit dramatization, an against-the-chances mission and a parable about imperialism, the film includes an intricate strict mythos requiring cautious reflection with respect to watchers. There are hints, for example, that the kingdom is dubiously Christian — a portion of its authorities wear outfits suggestive of liturgical vestments — while the occupants of Dune, otherwise known as Arrakis, appear to be semi-Muslim. 

There's hardly any swearing and nakedness yet there are a ton of fight scenes in this film, with centres around close battle and stabbings, rehashed pictures of heaps of burning bodies and some concise pictures of human sacrifices being utilized for waterways of blood. It's a definite step up from Star Wars! (*wink*)

Delilah from the Bible and Life Lessons from her!

Delilah! Who was this girl who betrayed the man who loved her for money? Well, the Bible doesn’t give us much information about her. All that we.have is a little story of her seducing and betraying Samson. In Judges 16:5, the Philistine lords get Delilah to betray Samson in exchange for 1100 pieces of silver: And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may overpower him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.” The meaning of her name may give us an essential clue. Delilah: The Weak One The name Delilah in Hebrew means “weak; poor.” And in many ways we can see, from the story of Samson, just how weak Delilah was in her relation to Samson.  ✨She Was Weak In Loyalty✨ In Judges 16:5, we'll find something about Delilah’s first weakness: And the lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, “Entice him,

The Samaritan Woman at the well and Life lessons from her!

Image
Undoubtedly Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan Woman is very popular. As she's popularly known as just the Samaritan Woman, in Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic traditions, she is venerated as a saint with the name St. Photine (Φωτεινή), meaning "luminous one". When I read the Samaritan woman's conversation with the Lord Jesus in John 4:1-42, I can't help but be amazed at how God became man and showed His great love to those who society considers as outcasts and rejects. He truly cares for all.  Here are some things we can see in their short but very special conversation. ✨ 1. God reaches out to people regardless of race or class.✨ "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a woman of Samaria? For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans." (cf. Jn 4:9) First, we read that Jesus talked to the woman, asking her for a drink. Jews, back then, didn't associate with Samaritans, especially men Jews to Samaritan women. Jesus bro

Catholic Identity Crisis: Are We Trad, Liberal, or Just Missing the Point?

Image
by  John Paul Philips As Catholics, we often hear terms like " traditional " and " liberal " used to describe different approaches to faith within our Church. While these labels might seem helpful in categorizing beliefs and practices, they can actually create more division than unity. This tendency to label and categorize goes against the very essence of what it means to be Catholic. The word " Catholic " itself means " universal ," implying a faith that transcends boundaries and embraces all peoples. When we start dividing ourselves into subcategories like " traditional ," " liberal ," " charismatic ," or " radical ," we risk losing sight of the fundamental unity that Christ calls us to embody. Christ's prayer for us was clear ( John 17:20-23) : "I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one. As you, Father, are
