10:00 I love the way The Voice is depicted in the movies and hate the way it’s done in the show. The difference is the film uses it as a moment of extreme hypnotism. When it’s used on Paul at the beginning of the first movie, he’s told to “come here” and “kneel”. And from Paul’s POV, his eyes roll back and is pulled forward and suddenly kneeling - not because he was controlled like a puppet, but because he was compelled. The same thing happens in the middle of the second movie where Feyd-Rautha is compelled by Lady Fenring. He was almost in a hypnotic daydream as he walked through the halls. He then suddenly snapped out of it and was standing outside Lady Fenring’s room. But in the show, the character is frozen in place, forced to turn around, and listen to a mini-monologue while fully conscious. When she’s forced to stab herself, it’s as if she’s trapped in her own body and her arm moves against her will while she watches in horror. It’s supposed to be an extreme compulsion, not “control magic”.
