This is all excellent. I never read Dune, even though everyone I knew loved it in high school. So my first experience with it was seeing it in theaters a few weeks ago, and the whole time I was wondering, "How has no one ever mentioned it's a metaphor for ongoing wars in the Middle East?" It seemed very obvious to me, but when I brought spice = oil up to a lot of people, none of them had ever realized it. I was blown away.
