Really Dune 2? I actually hated it. some of the writting was very questionable and didn’t seems as fun and exciting as the first 1. I was really looking forward for Dune 2 as well.
What did you like about the movie?
Hrmm… good question. It’s been a minute since I’ve seen it so my specific feelings are getting a little hazy at this point. I do agree the first was a better film but this one still lives large in my mind. I think it comes down to combination of elements that made it a fulfilling theater experience. The incredible sandworm riding, particularly the first time Paul is attempting to do it, beautiful imagery of the solders running up a hill side and just start levitating up the mountain, the incredible soundtrack and overall soundscape for that matter, the stark black and white world where we meet Feyd-Rautha in the gladiator ring.
I think the movie would’ve benefitted from being split in two but as a couple hours in the theater I got the spectacle I went in for.
My parents took me to a late 80s re-screening of Picnic at Hanging Rock when I was 6 or 7yo.
I think at the time the classification board described it as “G” indicating that “the content is mild in impact” but by then it was no longer a new film and parents probably should have known better.
Sure its not as rough as Fortress (1985) but it was still covering themes of children in realistic peril. Its not a film with a happy ending and the fact that its based on a true story left child me shaken.
Yea I can definitely see that. They’re something very haunting and beautiful about the movie. I watched it and thought it was pretty good. Then for about a week I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It gets under your skin and burrows into your subconscious.
