I've only seen Lynch's Dune- I want to jump on the hype train but felt disconnected... (hexbear.net)

I love the praise the Dune book series gets on here and on Chapo pod, and dig everything Denis V has done.

Before watching Lynch's Dune, I was hyped up expecting trade wars and discussions of imperialism and resource based economies, but the film didn't really care about that. Then the end kinda implies his godliness and Jihad is a good thing?

Am I missing something? I wan to jump on the hype train!

Dune the book is pretty much the first work of environmentalist and anti-imperialist sci-fi that got really popular, and it's worth praising just for that.

Also an early example of Mighty Whitey / White Savior tropes, but it's similar to Lawrence of Arabia in that it takes pains to subvert those themes after having established them.
