Dune isn't exactly a messiah movie, although it's literally based on the book Dune Messiah.
The white man comes to the brown people to be their God. It's literally a white messiah book/movie.
Wow, a true Lemmy wooosh moment. I think you missed the point of, well, the movie
I mean, the whole thing is meant to be a cautionary tale rather than a feel good movie. It's an anti white messiah movie. But yeah I guess technically it is about a white messiah, so you're not wrong, but real weird to refer to it that way
see, progress does happen
