Why we like Dune so much?

 I have read the books, saw Villeneuve's movies several time, but till now I didn't understood why I was attracted.

The book has 2 forces that drive the destiny of characters: the predetermination rooted on the past, and undetermined future.

Paul as his father Leto is forced to fight his enemies Harkonen by history of the houses, and an old feud that is forgotten. This feud is fed by political ambition of the emperor.

The prophecy is the future, the desire, the equilibrium.

It is not clear.

Paul is the Mahdi?

It will win, it will create a genocidal war ?

The future is created by past, Mahdi and Lisa Al Gaib are Bennegeserit superstition, created to keep in check fremden ecologic pressure who creates expectations.

But future is hundred by past and present: the unwillingness of great Houses to put the stability of system above their interests.
