The Spirituality of Dune
Villeneuve constructs a cinematic universe in which nature is not conquered, but worshipped. The film critiques imperialism, industrialism, and religious manipulation — yet never loses its sense of awe. It is science fiction that re-enchants the world, reminding us that even in a deterministic universe, there is mystery, agency, and meaning.


Dune & Determinism vs Free Will
Ultimately, Dune positions free will not as an innate human right, but as a fragile illusion sustained by culture, belief, and ignorance of deeper systems at work.
