My Dune Review
My Dune Review by Aodhfionn Tysysacha ENVY ME! I got to watch the new Dune movie. Sandworms dominate the sands of Araxes and the minds of people the way Sharks and Whales dominate the sea and the minds of people when they think of the ocean. Fear and awe. They're huge, too big for the mind to comprehend. In that way, Dune is maybe too big. Dune was always filled with innumerable things too big for the mind to grasp. An impossibly complex plot by their enemies, surrounded and beset by people with their own impossibly complex agenda’s and plots. In the novel, The Emperor remarks that Duke Atreides own military forces are nearly as effective as his feared Sardukar forces, and his honourable ways are making him popular among the other nobility of the Landsraad. He and the devious Baron Harkonnen hatch a plan to put the potential upstart in his place. Their plan is like giving a political appointment to oversee Afghanistan, they assume the planet itself will overwhelm them enough
