When she finally saw the movie, she realized to her astonishment that this story she’d adored since she was far too young for it, that she knew almost by heart, that inspired her first album—this story was now her story. Specifically Lady Jessica’s story. This goes by fast onscreen, but Jessica (played by Rebecca Ferguson) is not a wife but a concubine. Grimes saw herself in Jessica, and she saw X in Jessica’s son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). Paul is more than a duke’s son. He’s a chosen one, tasked with becoming a great leader. “When I see X,” she says, “like, I just know X is going to have to go through all this really fucked-up shit that sort of mirrors Paul-type stuff.” Watching it wrecked her. “I was just crying my eyes out the whole movie.”
it's a middling, trite sort of dumbass that thinks their kid is destined to be the savior of all humanity. it takes a very special sort of asshole to claim it publicly and tell a story about how you internalize this notion so hard, you sobbed at a movie.

Before Paul Atreides was mentioned I thought they were talking about Jessica in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
