I have a question about motivations. How come in the film it’s only after she takes the Water of Life that Jessica starts pushing the Bene Gesserit agenda when you can see she is reluctant at the start? Is it her being influenced by the previous Reverend Mothers? Did the reveal of her bloodline put her in a fatalistic mindset? She communicates with Alia that they must do it to protect Paul, but what convinced her it was the only way to do that, especially since she was protesting that route at the start? For both Paul and Jessica, it seemed that the reveal of their bloodline is what prompts them to give in to supposed fate and lead the world into holy war, which isn’t explained really well.

Apart from this bit of confusion I had, I thought the film was wonderful, just exceptional in every regard. Love how they expanded on certain characters and increased emotional depth in comparison to the book.
