The DUNE series is so good the deeper you get in because by book 4, the main character will drop some shit like “Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective."
But he basically just looks like this:

friends I am absolutely obsessed with the way Arrakis is introduced in the different adaptions of Dune. up until now, they all started out with Princess Irulan going “okay so here is this super hostile desert planet, it’s where we harvest Spice which gives us ALL the money. also my dad has the power to decide who governs it, everyone’s fighting over it, and whoever wins is gonna get super rich! :DDD”
1984:
2000:
I’m p sure it’s not even intentional, but what a perfect illustration of whose point of view the movie makers automatically defaulted to. what a perfect distillation of an imperialist outside perspective that sees the planet as desolate, dangerous, a resource to be fought over and harvested.
and then the 2021 movie just straight up overhead kicks that shit into the trash can.
we are not seeing Arrakis from outer space, as an outside observer would. we are not othered from it like we are in the other adaptions. we are right there, on its surface. and the movie opens with Chani narrating: “my home is beautiful.”
you’d think it’s just a small, insignificant change, but the difference in framing. the awareness. the fact that Arrakis gets introduced to us not as a dangerous material resource, but a beautiful home…! that shit is meaningful.
for so long this story about imperialism has been told by people who barely seemed to grasp the concept of structural critique at all. (I don’t think I have ever seen anyone miss the point as spectacularly as the guys who sat down and thought “Hey, let’s make a Dune RTS!”
“join one of three houses, whoever harvests the most Spice wins! :DDD” … just. incredible 🤣)
and I could go into more detail about how the other adaptions have a tendency to depict the Fremen as proud but primitive desert creatures and passive onlookers in their own subjugation, while the 2021 version makes it clear right off the bat that these are independent, capable human beings very well aware of their complex situation.
but I’m gonna stop ranting now cuz this was just supposed to be a quick lil meta on how the first couple lines change the entire meaning of everything, and how 2021 Dune displays a very welcome new awareness on the filmmakers’ part that has been sorely missing from previous adaptions.

That trans girl mutual you think is so cool? The one you have a huge crush on? Yeah I have some bad news for you buddy. She's taken. She's dating a she/they. That she/they is on here too and their blog consists entirely of the most unfunny normie reblogs you have ever seen in your life. Some real "what is Harry Potter was in the TARDIS" type shit. And they're monogamous. They're monogamously e-dating. They call each other "my wife" sometimes too so it's hard to tell but they might actually be monogamously e-married. You can fix her. Only you can save her. Slide into her DMs right now.
