Macclevoid at the Movies | Dune Part Two 

Subscribed for your hilarious sense of humor infused with analysis. I was left unimpressed with Dune Part One because I didn't feel emotional connection to the characters. This time as well, but the increasing political intrigue caught my interest as well as the special effects and cinematography creating a high level of believability and immersion into this fantastic universe. But when Paul's character started roaring I was convinced he was overdubbed.

I'm glad your review gave me a few laughs. The movie, while it has many strengths, is relentlessly grim.

The summary statement of your review on Rotten Tomatoes Sir is something you are 100% bang on. "Character, you may think, is not the point of a story like this one - it’s myth-making, allegory - but without real people to care about, there’s a ceiling on how invested we can become." I havent watched Dune 2 yet going tonight. So how can I say that i am beyond convinced this is accurate? Ive avoided spoilers and actually most in depth reviews just getting tidbits. But one thing that eluded about Villeneuve's films is why is it do i feel like i'm watching a movie so technically well crafted but so emotionally cold? I felt this about Dune Part one and Blade Runner 2049, and Arrival. Only Prisoners did I care which funny enough he did not write. I used chat gpt to help me understand him and compared to other similar directors. Its what i've stumbled upon is this statement you've made is actually a description to Villenueve's films all of them. He is storyteller of esoteric and philosophical ideas and less on the human condition. His visual style is more aesthetic leaning and less atmospheric then he would like it to be, and considering his recent quote that he hates dialogue it would behoove him that he can achieve his style of cinema by having more visual storytelling to describe character traits and more importantly use the human condition to emphasize philosphical ideas, which I think might be difficult thing to do.
