Seriously tho, couldn’t stop comparing the situation to Palestine during the first half of the movie. An invading army with super-advanced tech in a desert environment vs a bunch of brave fighters fighting with knives and stuff. It was cool. And sad.

I liked the movie, btw. Would recommend. Now I’m gonna read the book.

Edit - It’s also a good criticism of the white savior trope but that goes into spoilers territory.

Can you elaborate on this? I just saw the movie last night, and I can't hero but feel like Herbert's original orientalism pokes through, despite all the stuff the film does to try and critique the orientalism extant in the text. Zendayav definitely exposits about it a few times, criticizing Paul's white saviorism. But I felt like the film really failed to follow up on it. Maybe part 3 will get More into it, but will we'll have to see.
