I am *not* obsessed with two minutes of film.

*rewatches Leto returning to Ghanima*

Possibly I'm obsessed.

Just. She's there, in her wedding finery, holding her crysknife and looking so horribly blank. And then... his voice says her name. She looks startled, orders the servants out.

And when they're gone, he comes out and they're both just so happy and they rush at each other and kiss, maybe on the cheek, maybe not. Hard to tell.

She says that she knew he was alive. She reaches out to touch the sandtrout on his skin, while he watches. One moves, she breaks out into laughter and his face relaxes, he smiles.

He pulls away from her, looks her all over in her dress that's cut down to her waist J.Lo-style. Then he pulls her toward him and the music is breathtaking. They turn to look in a mirror, seeing how they look together.

He turns back to her and apologises. She kisses him on the mouth, he puts his hand on her face and they have another quick kiss.

End scene.

It's just. It's flat-out romantic.

Nothing wrong with being obsessed with a happy ending now, right?

Heh. Well, if it ended there it would be a happy ending. Sadly, it ends with Ghani saying how Leto comes, puts his head in her lap, and asks her to help him die.

But I'd be willing to pretend that it ends after the pretty kissing.

Have you read the Dune</i? books?

Unfortunately, no. I'll have to check them out someday.

When I started watching it, I got that little 'hmm, they seem rather *close*' vibe but I could ignore it. But then! BAM! that scene and their love for each just comes right out and beats you over the head!

Sigh. I want for him to be happy, not to want to die.

Yeah, that scene is. I mean, you can ignore the hand-holding and the cheek-kissing. But dude. Leto clearly looks her up, down, and all over in her dress. They look at each other in the mirror and Ghani put her hand on Leto's shoulder so that they make a better picture. Then they kiss. Twice. With face-holding. I *heart* face-holding. And that music was so very with the romance.

Oh, oh! And you know what? I have two brothers and if either one of them came to me with some sort of strange moving *thing* under their skin - I would not fondle it, or laugh at it, or press myself against it/him, or generally do any of the things that she did. Cause, dude, that's nasty. So, yeah, true love.

Word. I'd probably go, "Oh, ew! That's so disgusting. Ick! Get away from me! See a doctor!" And he'd be all trying to ick me out with it. "My skin is not my own! And it moves! See! Hah!" Because he's evil and a brother.
