It not so much a full fledged sign language as much as baseballs signals mastered as if a martial art (top layer of conversation above redirected by handsigns below) certain signs like [her flat hand placed on her belly clearly meant "child" (as in the womb) the fingers in an 'o' meant kill. As in to zero out the equation. When the reverend mother says Muad'dib (wize mouse) she made the mano cornuto. A very controversial hand signal. When she signald 'throne' (it was a fist pressing into a cuped hand) my thinking is it is a [pestle and mortar.] As in alchemy (they play with genectics like its chemistry.)

I think that's why she tried to have her back to the guards. Also, I got the vibe that the nad signals are in conjuction with the spoken sentance. Paul and Allia would certanily be able to understand if they were in the room too.

Oh he knows and allowed it. He knew about the scheming and the contraceptive in Chani's food. He allowed it because it extended Chani's life. Paul knew if Chani bore his children it means death for her. He's aware.

I know right!?! I've been wanting to send it to people so many times, but it doesn't exist 😔

lol, could you imagine how good it could be ? They could cipher-shift all the way through while fully aware everyone was watching.

Luckily she didn't have to dance in the role.

I had similar thoughts, but I'm just taking g it as a narrative conceit that tuensign language we see is greatly exaggerated for the benefit of the viewer, in reality their gestures would be so minute, only a bene gesserit would see them, a bit lilentje way in a play, a character can have an aside, and we all.accept that the other characters on stage cannot hear them.

In the book the hand signs are more subtle than how they're being shown here. In the books it's described more as normal gesticulation that has double meanings

Signs are exaggerated and camera focuses on them with subtitles so naturally you spot them. If the camera was in one place and they just talked without subtitles you wouldnt see nothing out of the ordinary, just a conversation, just like the guards.

lady jessica in new dune movie also uses this sign language..

IDK the trailer looks like a dumb action movie with a side of teen romance...

Agree.

@@williamsmith9948 Very much looking forward to seeing Jason Momoa as Duncan Idaho. I think he has the ability to increase his range. And he's one of Hollywood's best sword fighters.

We see a Bene Tleilax creation in Dune 2021, and the hint as to its origin is given when the Reverend Mother commands it with the voice. I'd say much of the information is there, but it's very subtle, obviously far easier to understand if you've read the book prior to it. My one gripe was that they don't cover some basic information like how combat has evolved, how the spacing guild has so much power as to dictate interstellar travel, and the mentat/BG goals/origins. But hopefully this will be covered in part 2, everything else is spot on.

Agree! She brought the right kind of regal beauty, and is very plausible as Sarandon's sister (even if their respective ages don't follow the books)

Completely agree, in the books Irulan was basically background furniture.

Have you read the first chapters of Dune Messiah? She carries the narrative.

@@susannaharnhart4910 That's quite the overstatement.

@@frostyrobot7689 Irulan was for me, the cute chick who writes books and gets cucked by Chani Kynes.

Really? An improvement on Frank Herbert's masterpiece, uh?

Definitely another; a made for TV mini-series that is worth the watch.

As do baseball players.

Thieves cant is a real thing that exists in the real world. This form of communication does not. It's super human.

Or the drow's sign language.

@@celebrim1 It's just sign language, what's supernatural about it?

@@Asdasxel Sign language in the real world relies on large visible signals and generally requires more time to confer less information than equivalent vocal communication. People who translate spoken language to sign language rely on simplifying what is said. That's because sign simply as a inherent thing has less bandwidth than sound which can compress huge amounts of harmonic information into a short time frame. But the Bene Gesserit information somehow manages to compress more information into smaller and more subtle motions than are actually used by sign language. You can do that if your language is meant to express only a limited vocabulary about a particular topic, but you can't do that with a full and rich language. There isn't a way to translate wiggle this finger into long complex and nuanced sentences. If anyone was observing Bene Gesserit sign, either they could easily observe the signs and know at least there was information crossing on a bandwidth they couldn't translate but could observe, or else the Bene Gesserit would have to minimize the amount of information they conveyed through the hidden channel. It works only in fiction. And back to the main point, Thieves Cant is a real world thing that is absolutely nothing like this. It's a slang based on sing song rhyming language and invented words, where often words are replaced by other words they rhyme with. There are close modern parallels in the (for example) Atlanta gang slang that used to be called 'Jive'. You want real understanding of what Thieves Cant is actually like, either check out some books on it from a college library or just do some browsing at Urban Dictionary.

​@celebrim1 I respectfully disagree. A person can be very smart. With proper training, "miracles" are workable. This isn't "superhuman", it's "supernormal."
