Thank you for discussing these very interesting topics that were translated from book to film by these movies. More than anything, Frank Herbert wanted people to become more aware and to question each other and how the world was evolving. The themes evoked are forever relevant and are as important in America in 2024 as ever; the problem of political figures that inspire fanatical personality cults in their effort to rise to power, the idea that humanity has a binding relationship with the planet's ecology and needs to make pragmatic, long term decisions concerning its role, and the idea that the human is a spiritual being and that religion is a very serious business of human kind, and many other very important ideas.
Thank you! Yes, he brought up some really interesting questions. I enjoyed listening to his interviews and thought the film did an impressive job of bringing the questions he cared about to the screen. I feel like I'll be thinking about this movie for a long time!
