The story
Paul Atreides arrives on Arrakis after his father accepts the stewardship of the dangerous planet. However, chaos ensues after a betrayal as forces clash to control melange, a precious resource.
What is woke about it
Paul Atreides is the undisputed centre of Dune, trained by his father Leto, Gurney Halleck and Duncan Idaho, and his arc runs from dream-troubled heir to knife-wielding Duke who kills Jamis in single combat and declares "my road leads into the desert." Jessica is formidable but defined by her son and her order's breeding programme, not by superiority over men. The Fremen Chani appears as a fighter and vision figure, yet her role is largely symbolic. Villainy is coded through the brutal Harkonnens, not through gender. Women hold mystique and power in the Bene Gesserit, but the film's emotional and physical stakes rest on fathers, sons and male mentorship.Our analysis, written from the synopsis and the published scores
