I hadn't considered the movie from this angle at all! So fascinating. "Dune," along with "Barbenheimer," gives me hope that there can still be such a thing as a thoughtful blockbuster.

Exactly my thoughts when watching it! So nice to see all of those budget dollars going to real messages. Villeneuve is so good!

I don’t agree tho it’s a very good theory. I think he knew more about cinnamon than we can presume. You see if you take cinnamon and extract it, you get a precursor to mdma (ecstasy) and everything about how it’s explained, sounds so similar to it.
