The track Kiss the Ring from the Dune Part 2 soundtrack is the most perfect example music reflecting the script. This track is haunting, not triumphant. Hans Zimmer literally wrote heart break into this music.

You know when a book is so good it feels like watching a movie? Dune: Part 2 was so good it felt like reading a book. I love how much care was taken in introducing us to fremen culture and their beliefs.

Just a little detail I thought was kinda neat, but one of the last tracks on the Part Two soundtrack is titled "Only I Will Remain" (if I'm not mistaken, it's the first track that starts playing over the credits), which obviously refers to the litany against fear and all that jazz, but it also perfectly describes where Paul is by the end of this story. Yes, he has conquered his fear of the prophecy, but he is also completely alone. Chani leaves, Irulan isn't someone he loves or trusts in any capacity, his relationship with Jessica is clearly fractured, Alia still isn't born yet, and he even says that the Fremen are all now followers rather than friends. He has no one. He's won, and yet he's lost. There's no triumph, no real victory. It just blows my mind the love that both Denis and Hans have for this story, and the way they understood the complexities and brought them to life in all the little details.

Hans Zimmer putting the Atreides leitmotif in Gurney Halleck's doomed charge at the Sardukar AND in his charge at Glossu Rabban indicating he's so loyal to the Atreides that they're part of him..... Oscar for best soundtrack or we riot

Listen. I don't make the rules. If a movie is directed by Christopher Nolan and/or scored by Hans Zimmer, it slaps like 90 percent of the time

how the soundtrack of Dune part two helped build Paul and Chani's love story
A Time of Quiet Between the Storms
what we hear: The music is building slowly. Very slowly. You can hear the sand dancing all around it. The wind blowing. There is a melody that sounds like hope. There are some whispers in the background. It all sounds like as if something is glowing. The layers keep adding up until the hopeful melody is all you can hear, building with harmonies, with such a bright sound you can almost see the sun if you close your eyes listening to it. It is somehow deeply sad and hopeful at the same time. Drums are added which elevates the music to a level that altogether feels epic.
what we see: Nothing is safe. None of them knows what their future holds, whether they will find safety or not, what tomorrow is going to bring. They are trying to find their ways in whatever is left of their world. These tiny moments together are all they have. Outside of these moments all there is are fights, tears and loss. The pressure of his future would break him if it wasn't for her. But there's the miracle of somehow finding each other throughout all this. Getting to know each other day by day. With small gestures like glances and touches and smiles building up. Finding safety in each other. Building trust. Falling in love.
Kiss the Ring
what we hear: A sizzle. Harmony. The melody slowly returning. The same glowing, beautiful melody of hope. Carrying their world. Their moments. Their love. Their fate. It builds quickly, instrument by instrument. until it feels monumental once again, even louder than before- but another layer appears, and it is bittersweet. Sounds like victory. Vocals are added and there is a piercing high note in the background that is ominous. It is their melody still, but there is no "them" anymore. Heartbeats. Beating faster. What was once theirs is now no more. The music stops on a high and shatters all at once, just like her world did.
what we see: He won everything he wanted. There are obstacles and battles left to fight still but so far he has everything. Feyd-Rautha is dead, the Emperor is on his knees in front of him. The whole world is his to have. But in order for him to get all this he had to give her up. Give Chani's love up. Let her go. He chose his head instead of his heart to not be weak like his father was- even if it broke him. He knows all that already before she does. But she realizes it in just a second. Even in the last moment, where it's all said and done, he turns to take one last look at her. They look into each other's eyes and say nothing but say everything at the same time.

The best part of Netflix' Damsel was definitely the score.
Hans Zimmer fucks.
