The books are full of intrigue, subtle plots and other plots.
It’s a book that when read a second time you come away with an entirely new experience armed with the knowledge (and familiarity) of the first read.
Dune 1 (haven’t seen part 2 yet) just captures the feel of all the forces, pressures and consequences of the book.
It goes for a “show don’t tell” kind of storytelling that really works to get a feel for it.
Not that the works merit direct comparison since they’re so different it harkens to the Lord of the Ring trilogy where you don’t get a lot of the details of the book but you get the heart of the story, world, lore and relationships of the people.
Paul is reserved, intrigued by Chani and his visions.
Jessica acts out of love over duty
The Duke brings his family to a place of what he expects to be dangerous but is also powerful and the political maneuver putting them there was airtight. Hence his duty to go, his worry for the family, the importance of being there.
All the players, all the parties, all the pressures are there. The only ones not focused on, at least in the first, is the guild which fits what was shown so far anyway.
It’s beloved because it actually does the book justice. Exactly.
Thank you very much for your perspective, I'll watch the first part again and see if I can discover this 'reading' of it!
