Barry Lyndon

The genius Kushen has not only created suspense films, war films, violent films, sci-fi films, and horror films, but also such modern European aristocratic literary films can produce epic effects. The lighting, the set, the soundtrack, and the photography are all so perfect that every frame of the film is like a delicate oil painting. The heroine is so beautiful in terms of facial features, decoration and clothing. With her irresistible temperament that jumps out of the screen, she tells the audience that she is an extremely beautiful and elegant lady of the upper class in England. After watching the movie, I regretted for a moment that I was born in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and at the wrong class.

In fact, I still recommend that you go and watch the first few Kubrick works first, because you will naturally want to continue chasing after his films after watching those few.

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Narrator: [voice-over] No lad who has liberty for the first time, and twenty guineas in his pocket, is very sad, and Barry rode towards Dublin thinking not so much of the kind mother left alone, and of the home behind him, but of tomorrow, and all the wonders it would bring.

  • Narrator: [voice-over] Barry's first taste of battle was only a skirmish against a small rearguard of Frenchmen who occupied an orchard beside a road down which, a few hours later, the English main force would wish to pass. Though this encounter is not recorded in any history books, it was memorable enough for those who took part.
