Going native - Colonialism and the White-Savior-Trope in Denis Villeneuve's "Dune"-Films
Creators
Description
Denis Villeneuve's Dune-adaptations (2021, 2024) initially appear to follow a typical Hollywood "White Savior"-narrative. However, a closer analysis reveals a more nuanced picture: the Dune-series deconstructs this trope and offers a structural critique of colonialism.
