assuming this universe is not magic
consider the amount of water required to maintain that many people
now consider the industry required to produce stillsuits and all kinds of gadgets and weaponry required to survive the surface of arrakis. for all of them.
surely the fremen are no mere nomads and actually a heavily industrialized people living far beneath the ground.
or it could be the author is a hack.
>surely the fremen are no mere nomads and actually a heavily industrialized people living far beneath the ground
The implication is precisely that. They had the entire southern hemisphere to hide their shit in.
I'm surprised, they act like superstitious Bedouins throughout the whole movie, they don't act like industrious people capable of R&D and planet-scale manufacture & logistics
They've been there a very long time, sitting on the lifeblood of the known galaxy and doing deals with it, all while hiding their true capabilities from everybody.
they can sit on it all they want , digging something is one thing processing it is another. this is like discovering that the cousin fricking arab bedouins sitting on oil are actually german ubermensch who have created entire industries and refineries under the arabian desert. the problem is their violent driven social structures is not compatible with the more civilized social structure required to run a factory.
the fremen does not make any sense.
no nuclear reactors, no solar panel arrays, no fossil fuels to burn, no wood. how are they running their magical underground factories ?

okay let's say in 8000 years they have discovered something so powerful beyond nuclear power and even fusion. are you telling me the equally superstitious and stupid fremen somehow have access to this magically unfathomably powerful machine / process ?
I'm not trying to dunk on you btw, there is clearly valid holes to poke on frank herbert's pompous masterpiece and this is one of them.

The "people" you are responding to were born after this phone was made.
They are very capable and intelligent people who have developed an entire culture around desert survival and water efficiency, even tying it into their religion. They are superstitious in the movie because a guy has suddenly appeared who just happens to tick all the boxes for an old prophecy that is supposed to lead to their ultimate victory and greatest dream.

Can confirm they don’t teach it anymore, at least not the one I went to. This is partially because they teach more about speaking like the character you are meant to portray. If your school is a lot more theatre based you’ll do some work with projection and diction but it focuses more on the acting. Elocutionists are a thing of the past.
wtf is this capeshit?
Okay boomer
>my desert, my arrakis formerly known as dune
>House Atreides has fallen, billions must die

In their own pants.
When this based speech was played in the kinoplex I literally had to keep my hand from rising like the Nazi guy at the end of Dr Strangelove.
Whatshisface is actually a pretty good actor. He sells the transformation from angsty shy quiet teenager into basically Osama Bin laden. Props to him
