The film's central narrative critiques imperialistic resource exploitation and champions the rebellion of an indigenous people against their oppressors, aligning its dominant themes with anti-colonial and environmentalist values.
David Lynch's 'Dune' features a predominantly white cast, reflecting traditional casting choices without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. The narrative maintains a neutral to positive portrayal of traditional identities, focusing on a white male protagonist and not explicitly critiquing traditional identities within its themes.
The film features no affirming or neutral LGBTQ+ portrayals. The only character with implied non-heterosexual desires, Baron Harkonnen, is the primary villain, whose sexuality is depicted as a component of his grotesque sadism and evil, reinforcing harmful stereotypes.
The film features several female characters, including Lady Jessica and Chani, who are involved in the narrative's conflicts. However, there are no distinct scenes depicting a female character achieving victory over one or more male opponents in direct, close-quarters physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts.

Based on a review of major characters from Frank Herbert's novel and their portrayal in the 1984 film, no character canonically established as one race was depicted as a different race.
