After all, the film was 30 years ago, so I won't talk about special effects.
I have forgotten the details of the original work I read a long time ago. Looking out the movie, it suddenly dawned on me that this is prophesying or mapping the Middle East. . .

Spice=Petroleum
Freman=Arabic in the Middle East who are struggling for independence?
Dune=Middle East Desert
Navigator=Multinational oil giants

good dukes=Iron Curtain Western
Bad Barons=Iron Curtain Eastern (Lenovo Soviet troops sent troops to Afghanistan and quickly withdrew...)
Or vice versa,

Emperor=UN? ?

Dune quotes

  • Paul: Chani, all my images of the future are gone! I have to drink the Water of Life.

    Chani: No, Paul, please. I've seen the men who have tried. I've seen how they died.

    Paul: No! I'm dead to everyone unless I try to become what I may be. Only the Water of Life can free what will save us.

    Chani: Paul...

    Paul: I must drink the sacred water.

  • Paul: Arrakis. Dune. Desert Planet. Your time has come! A storm is coming. Our storm! And when it arrives, it will shake the Universe. Emperor - we come for you! We come for you!
