I am no cinema expert and not too bright either (and I apologize for my English as it is not my native tongue).
Just watched the movie and I feel confused about its lack of integrity, it seemed like two different movies. Don't get me wrong, I liked the second part, too, but it felt so detached (and characters acted like that tragedy with Pyle never happened). So what is the connection? Which things, themes, symbols in second part echo the first part and vice versa? I would really appreciate some insight. Thank-you!

I agree. It was like 2 short films pasted together. Kubrick always seemed to have that problem: come up with an enticing idea and film it but never quite thought out a satisfying way to bring it all together in the second part. It was like that in The Shining and Dr. Strangelove to name just 2.
