Now I’m going to have to do the whole song as a Dune theme. This will be all your fault.

Thank you Anakin. /s
Oh cool, I never thought I had the qualifications to be a movie reviewer. But now I know that literally anyone can do it. And you don’t need to delve any deeper into the movie than, “hey, it was really loud and there was lots of action, I dunno” in order to submit your “work”, apparently.
Dune Part One was the best movie I saw in 2021. And it is the best adaptation of the story to date, IMO. I walked out of the theater in a state that few movies have been able to put me in, and I have zero doubts that Part Two will do the same. Regardless of what some hipster on the internet thinks.

Yea they can. They can also make movies.
So can you. So can I.

Empirically true, I suppose. But personally, I’m much less sure that I could make something that would please me as much as Dune Part One did, than that I could write a review of Dune Part Two (even without having seen it) that would be at least as insightful as the OP’s.

I get it.
But I’d watch them both again, together.
At home.
Believe me, if you are an expat/immigrant talking to another expat/immigrant, this is exactly the kind of thing you say.

Any pugs in part two?

That reminds me of Philip Glass’s score for Koyaanisquatsi. I’m not saying it’s a copy, just that both pieces seem to reside in the same emotional space.

Am a big fan of that score. And of some (but not all!) of the work by Philip Glass. Agree.

I think you are referring to what is known as the downbeat ending 
It was one of the things I liked about the story. It will be interesting to see if he sticks with the story arc for the next film (Dune Messiah) which is very probably going to happen. I always prefer the darker stuff.
This has been bugging me for decades, so I will ask here, it is still quasi-on-topic.
Does anyone have the slightest idea why the Fremen stillsuits are depicted as either black (1984 version) or dark brownish-blackish (2024 / 2021)? In the desert? I realize in the books the Fremen often move in the open at night. But during the day they’d die in something that color inside an hour.
Dune nerds or physics nerds or spec fic nerds, please help me to understand.

Well, for one, it’s worn under a robe, so the colour doesn’t matter too much.

This is not a physics-informed answer, and IANAAnthropologist or materials scientist, but I had always kind of assumed that the black stillsuits of the Lynch version were trying to evoke the traditional Bedouin desert robes, which are often black. Of course, the benefits of a black robe on Earth (better convection mechanisms for moving air past the body) don’t apply to stillsuits in any obvious way. But assuming there’s some kind of advanced heat transfer technology in the stillsuit, having a black exterior could provide a mechanism to radiate heat away from the body.
That said, the linked paper does say “it seems clear that the difference in radiation exchange at the outer surface of the robes is not affecting the heat exchange of the subject,” but I’m not sure that this would have been important to Lynch’s costume designers. (And also something something Mentat technobabble about stillsuit technology.)

I assume fabrics some 10,000 years in the future have the abbility to reflect infrared effectivly, regardless the color. I mean, its been done already for quite some time;
(I have an ir-camera (a modded digital) and a lot of black clothes show up white in ir these days, a lot. and some “black” cars.)
