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!

    Yeah I love how he rejects his historical role at the end and goes off into the desert to die. Pretty powerful stuff. Ugh I love his arc so much and the way it grafts onto climate change is spooky.
