It's the most important question you can ask, no matter which movie you're watching: "who is the Christ figure in this movie?" And there's no better movie to ask that about than Dune Part Two. Well, in the name of ministry, we went to the movie theater and watched the latest movie in the Dune saga and took extensive notes as we tried to figure out who represents Jesus in the movie.
Here are the most obvious ones:
- The dunes: The dunes RISE up again and again above the desert floor. You know who else ROSE AGAIN in the desert? Well, a semi-arid region at least? That's right: Jesus Himself.
- Sandworm number 3: This giant sandworm carries Paul Atreides across the desert, much like when Christ carries you during your times of trial and suffering. That's when you only see one set of footprints or, in this case, worm tracks.
- Robert Fischer — Second Unit Key Grip: He worked in the background quietly and humbly, much like how Jesus works on your heart behind the scenes. Wow. Powerful.
- Dennis Villeneuve: He literally created the movie. Can a Christ parallel be any more obvious?
- The Harkonnen's spice harvesters: These big guys prowl around on the desert, harvesting spice - much like how the fields are ripe for the harvest of people for Christ's church. Incredible.
- Jason Momoa: He's kinda dark looking and strong, so maybe there's a Jesus parallel there? But more importantly, he sacrificed himself in the first film, so he's only in this one spirtually. But maybe he'll rise again in the THIRD MOVIE? WOW! That can't be a coincidence.
- The Atreides family atomics: These blow up the shield wall, just like how Jesus launches literal spiritual nukes at our hard hearts to draw us to Himself. Amazing.
- The stillsuits: These purify water to make it usable for drinking. Remind you of anyone? That's right, Jesus Christ, who purifies our hearts. You can use this one in your sermon this Sunday, pastor. It's completely free of charge.
- You, the viewer: Heroically sacrificing time in the theater to watch people walk in slow motion across the desert, rising a mere 3 hours later.
NOT SATIRE: Are you dreading this election season because of all the division it will bring, but also concerned about how bad things are getting? It's time to stop complaining--equip yourself to DO SOMETHING!
