Decoding Dune: Part Two’s Ominous Visions of the Future
A talking fetus, the ocean, and Anya Taylor-Joy — here’s what it all means.
Basically, you have a four-year-old with bright blue eyes holding her own in debates with the adults around her (in David Lynch’s 1984 version of Dune, Alia was played by Alicia Witt in a tiny Bene Gesserit costume).
