Frank Herbert's "Dune" is an intimidating story with a reputation that precedes it, but the original novel isn't as complicated as all the sci-fi terminology makes it appear. At its core, "Dune" is a story about a planet's native people rising up to overthrow the imperial rulers that are subjugating them — in other words, a tale as old as time. The natives in "Dune" are called the Fremen (pronounced (FREH-men), a group of desert-dwelling nomads who have learned to live in harmony with the harsh desert planet of Arrakis. In "Dune," the Fremen serve as both the heart of the story and the backbone of its narrative. This is the backstory of "Dune's" Fremen fully explained. #Dune #Fremen #Scifi Real-world inspiration | 0:00 Origins | 1:19 Ingenuity | 2:10 A hidden civilization | 3:42 The spark | 4:22 Taking Dune | 5:11 Cosmic jihad | 6:24 Old modern ways | 7:08 The Fremen end | 8:31 Read Full Article: https://www.looper.com/254110/the-backstory-of-dunes-fremen-explained/
