Dune the book was written in 65, the movie 84.

The book heavily references the middle east, and oil dependecy.

The movie has zero, or at the least, very little visual symbolism. Especially if compared to Lynch's other work.

Drug assisted is the last thing I'd say about either the book, or movie.

I dunno about the movie, but I have heard sometimes that Herbert was quite fond of helping the creative process by those means.
