    Seeing that even the costumes in this film are borrowed from museums, you can understand how much talent and care a beautiful film takes. From the music to the scenery to the makeup to the lines, it's all beautiful, fast forward to notice Liu Yun, so natural, it's not like a movie. It makes sense for the master to be worshipped, naming the bookstore off Broadway after Kubrick, he deserves such day and night...

    It is a very wise choice to endure until now to seriously worship this masterpiece. This film has no qualified version in the DVD era, and the one-zone set contains an immutable garbage version that has not been strictly restored, which is simply a blasphemy to the film. A while ago, I downloaded the newly released Blu-ray repaired version this year, and I watched it on a 50-inch plasma. The shocking effect made people's faces full of emotions. When will it be on Blu-ray, this film is the first...

    I watched it four or five times as a kid. In the life of a hero, only the judgment of death is the epitaph of the noble. This should be Kubrick's most prominent visual aesthetic work. He used narration language to immerse the audience in the fictional Georgian era, and used a lot of push-track lenses to further record the details of the characters. This large aperture F0.7 modification Is the camera still tricked by Kubrick? Kubrick's reputation as an affordable man really lives up to its...

    As a born strong man in the law of survival of the fittest, "Barry Lyndon", which crossed from the romantic camp to the realist team, lost his later identity precisely because he retained his original personality (cultural gene). For this reason, Kubrick's dreamlike and impeccable epic finally proves one thing: in life, fate chooses people, not people choose destiny. The relationship between strength and weakness is ultimately closely related to the entanglement of love and hate, which truly...

    I have to admit that my beloved Kubrick is really not suitable for this kind of film. The whole film is long and dull, with a slow external rhythm and a brisk internal rhythm. So, the gorgeous costumes and subtle montages don't neutralize such flaws, which is my lowest score for...

    It turns out that Kubrick is not only good at hard, sharp and avant-garde camera language, but also this kind of classical-style gentle narrative can be played with ease. The picture is so beautiful, every frame is an oil painting, and the soundtrack is amazing. Although the theme of the ups and downs of fate is a bit too broad, it is also a tragedy of universal...

    3.5/5. To be honest, it fluctuates between 3 stars and 4 stars, and the length and rhythm are cut into BBC three episodes of classical drama without any sense of disobedience. Mr. Ku, who is so contemporary and ruthless, shoots classical dramas. The composition is picturesque, light and shadow are beautiful, but it is too strange to just stand on the sidelines without entering the hearts of the characters (except for the grief of the death of the Barry couple's son), so it is him. Scan your...

    Kubrick is Kubrick, he can control so many types of films, the picture is like oil painting, the lighting is elegant and natural, the soundtrack is elegant and classic, and it is unforgettable after watching...

    Classical literary film + personal epic + 18th century European version of Qingming Shanghe Tu (spoiler): The push-pull lens (especially the pull lens) and the corresponding zoom lens are the core of the audio-visual language. During the civilian period, the core soundtrack of Scottish bagpipes and trumpets was the country minor; during the army period, marching drums and rhythm drums dominated; when the protagonist entered the upper class, the violin and piano appeared for the first time, and...

    between duels

    The script of this film is adapted from William Thackeray's novel of the same name, which can be classified as a sequence of adaptations of Kubrick's literary works. At the same time, this film is also a period drama with good texture and a civilian epic showing the tragedy of fate.

    You are a spider and you are also a fly.

    Under the shell of the peak of five-star formalism, it actually describes nothingness and destiny. The calm male voice-over is restrained and low-key, describing Barry's life from a neutral perspective, but instead appears to be mocking and teasing. Saying that this film is about "fate", Barry is...

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Barry's Mother: Reverend Runt, I need not tell you that the recent tragedy to this family has made the services of a tutor no longer required at Castle Hackton. And as we are in some considerable difficulty about money, I'm afraid I must ask you, with the greatest reluctance, to resign your post.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: Madam, I'm sensible of your predicament, and you need have no concern about my wages, with which I can willingly do without, but it is out of the question for me to consider leaving Her Ladyship in her present state.

    Barry's Mother: I'm very sorry to say this to you, but I truly believe you are largely responsible for the state of mind she is in, and the sooner you leave, the better she will be.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: Madam, with the greatest respect, I take my instructions only from Her Ladyship.

    Barry's Mother: Reverend Runt, Her Ladyship is in no fit mind to give instructions to anyone. My son has charged me with managing the affairs at Castle Hackton until he recovers from his grief and resumes his interest in worldly matters. And while I am in charge, you will take your instructions from me. My only concern is for Lady Lyndon.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: Madam! Your only concern is for Her Ladyship's signature! You and your son have almost succeeded in destroying a fine family fortune! And what little remains for you depends on keeping Her Ladyship prisoner in her own house!

    Barry's Mother: Reverend Runt! This matter bears no further discussion! You will pack your bags and leave by tomorrow morning!

  • Rev. Samuel Runt: My Lord Bullingdon, you seem particularly glum today. You should be happy that your mother has remarried.

    Lord Bullingdon: Not in this way. And not in such haste. And certainly not to this man.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: I think you judge your mother too harshly. Do you not like your new father?

    Lord Bullingdon: Not very much. He seems to me little more than a common opportunist. I don't think he loves my mother at all, and it hurts me to see her make such a fool of herself.
