WithDune: Part Twothough,it’s about sticking the landing for that adaptation.Part Twoachieves the impossible by fully realizing Villeneuve and authorFrank Herbert’s vision, but nothing is perfect.Part Twooffers a lot more on the visual cinematic front, with impressive visuals and a fantastic score, however, where it struggles is with its widening scope....

Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) has always been the ultimate force of nature onYellowstone—a fiery mix of ferocity, intellect, and sheer survival instinct, if you were being kind. If you weren’t, you’d say she was a total nutcase.

We’ve been so used to seeing that psychotic, vengeful side of Beth that we’d almost forgotten she’s a human, and it was that factor that directorChristina Vorossays was crucial to showing Beth’s humanity,as she explained to THR....

The 1960s were a transformative decade for cinema. Reflecting changes in the culture as a whole, moviesbecame more cynicaland more realistic. This can be seen most notably in horrors likePsychoand westerns likeThe Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, but the trend extended to comedy as well.

And sure, a writer and/or director can decide what images will be filmed in the first place, but the cinematographer’s the person who helps get each image looking the way the writer and/or director intended....

It’s anuphill battle for follow up films. Superior sequel pictures are given bigger budgets, stronger casts and higher stakes, but despite being recognized as the superior installment by fans and critics, the box office results are lower than the previous movie.
