Reply to comment by Charliekeet in The 1984 Dune film makes a lot more sense if The Spice is referred to as Space Cocaine instead. by neoengel
It's got so many layers of meaning, also it's much more subjective than lots of films, there is not much agreed upon. And I think that's intentional. There's a lot to gain from digging into it further and I only wanted to encourage this.

We all know it though, it is depicted as having addictive properties.

The spaceships aren’t actually powered by spice. Spice just give the navigators enough prescience to not slam into celestial objects during interstellar travel with the Holtzman drives.

I assume the OP was just making a joke, but I always wondered why so many people think Dune is some sort of difficult to follow, impenetrable mess. There are lots of names and competing factions to learn about, I guess?

Tell people to build a fake tree, many will use cardboard. It’s is not the opposite of what you would expect.

Nope. If you’re taking those peoples opinions you still need growing. There’s a point when you must stop caring about everyone’s opinion and literally do what you’re saying and better yourself.

Most movies take place in a reality where any average Joe can take dozens of blows to the head from a blind lawyer who’s jacked as hell wearing Muay Thai ropes without losing consciousness or dying

I see it as further incentive for myself. I look around and see people who look like a mess, don’t pay attention to their surroundings, just act childish, don’t seem to care for themselves or others around them. I see that and want to make myself better than that. It’s been a relatively slow but steady climb and I’m relatively pleased with how far I’ve come in the time since I realized I was that kind of person. A lot can happen in a year.

What if someone you did know well said it to you in an environment with a lot of background noise?

Idk if someone I didn’t know well said that to me id probably assume they were acting like I was too dumb to understand even if they didn’t mean it like that

As far as I know, that trend started with Dune.
