As someone who finally is deciding to get into Dune, it’s really weird realizing that “oh… everybody in all of fiction stole from this” even more than LOTR it feels like

The name Harkonnen comes from a Finnish surname Härkönen which comes from the word härkä meaning bull. So in a way Paul is also fighting a bull

Honestly, with all the AI crap coming out nowadays, Dune is looking more prescient by the year. Humans are losing the ability to think for themselves.

The film really needed a scene where they explained the importance of Mentats in a society where thinking machines are illegal, and reveal to Paul that he has what it takes to become a Mentant himself.

Summarizing Dune in this format really reveals how insanely creative Frank Hebert was.

Didn't realize how much deeper the Dune universe is than how the movie portrays. Incredible.

I feel like Leto and Jessica are one the deepest, most tragic love stories you could ever read. It's not about two people who sacrificed everything for their love, but rather of two people who sacrificed their love for the greater good, because they knew that in the grand scheme of things, their relationship was not important to anyone but them. They would never give up their duties just to be together, because they know that that is not what the other one would have wanted.<br>I think this is a much deeper and much more selfless form of love, one that makes me shed a tear every time I read this book.

Very, Very short Summary;  Dune is a giant galactic war between several different drug dealers who all want control of the source.

If they plan on being faithful to Paul's evolution over the course of the movies, it's probably a good move on their part to humanize him to the audience while they still can. 😅
