i don't mean to get all political, but i think it's interesting dune appeals to people with wildly different political views, while i've understood herbert to be pretty conservative or at least libertarian minded in a very pacific northwestern kind of way. i would probably guess it's due to the intensity of his vision, which is probably the most we can ask of a writer (along with being, like, not a lunatic)

wasn't god emperor a big brother type of analogy?

What really makes me think that Denis get's Dune is how he used Jamis. The other adaptations make Jamis kind of a hot head who basically only serves as the first person that Paul needs to kill, but that's not what Jamis really represented in the books. Herbert has said that Dune is a deconstruction of the concept of the Messiah or of "The Great Man". That if someone only gets one thing from the book, it's that you should always be questioning your leader and thinking about what they are asking you to do before you do it.


Jamis' usage was really interesting, it's been years since i read the books but the initial idea i landed on was it seemed to imply the eventual rejection from the path by paul since he didnt take the blade. but his visions are less than reliable
