It's a real film

Fucking your cousin

>>214051361 (OP)
Anons don't actually like Barry Lyndon. They simply like the way they think they appear to others when they claim to like Barry Lyndon.

>>214051361 (OP)
Beat your stepson

>>214051404
No. It's a series of paintings. That's why nothing happens in it.

>>214051422
false. Barry is a real one that any prick like a 4channer should be able to relate to. Then in the final moment he shows a moment of humility and mercy and does the right thing only to face consequence. A perfect parable for a real man.

If you’re speaking for yourself then say so, but stop projecting. Some of us like what we say we like. What a fucking concept right?

>>214051437
Nothing happens? You call almost the entirety of a man’s remarkable life nothing?

>>214051390
"Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's best" is the clearest pseud-marker in existence.
>IT'S LIKE A LE PAINTING
No it isn't. It looks like any washed-out '70s period flick. The only part that resembles a painting is the fact that there are lots of long shots with high headroom, everything else is blocked in a sterile and flat way that is vastly different from the paintings he is supposedly imitating
>BUT THE EPIC NASA LENS
Is this supposed to be evidence of quality? David Lean had a whole lens built from scratch for a single shot in Lawrence and I've never once seen anyone fellate him for it, because that film actually stands on its own merits

Anyways, even aside from the overhyping of the film's technical aspects, Barry Lyndon is worthless. It's peak cinema for people who have seen less than 10 films made before 1950

>>214051437
>It's a series of paintings
Even if this were true (which it's definitely not), it's not necessarily a bad thing.

It's a beautiful film

>>214051361 (OP)
Alright, I'm not a proponent of "Kubrick is a genius". I don't worship at the altar of Kubrick. When we look at the movie, Bullingdon is ugly, Barry is handsome and a swindler. Bullingdon does everything correct in behavior, but the audience does not like him. Barry is a piece of shit, but the audience likes him. Bullingdon was a brat, but in the end, he looked after his mother. Barry being more a man of the world and more attractive does not make him less of a shit. Of course Kubrick, the shit, makes it more difficult with the duel where Barry stands up like a man and Bullingdon is a sniveling little shit. Barry gives him a second chance to shoot. Not because Barry is a good guy, but because he was a gambler. He underestimated Bullingdon's reserve. Barry's son dies too and he cares. Are we now supposed to feel sorry for Barry? So in short: Bullingdon was obnoxious and ugly, but the good guy. Barry was handsome and self assured but the bad guy. I'd have to rewatch it, but that's my current stance. Ending the movie with: "They're all equal now." Is great. I haven't even talked about how beautiful the movie looks. It's the Kubrick movie that resonates the most with me.

good thing i dont mention "painting" or lens anytime I describe it as his best film

The best Kubrick movie is actually the killing

>>214051422
Projecting.

>>214051361 (OP)
He's so based. He's literally me.

>>214051666
>barry is the bad guy
No he is a guy, not good nor bad, its about the balance of life and quest for betterment and a place in the world. Him sparing Bullingdon is an excellent display of him not being "bad" hes just flawed.

>>214051707
recently watched this after being a kubrick fan for years, very good but didn't really impress me lacked some of his maturity that made him more unique, as far as old Kubrick goes Paths of Glory was more impactful

>>214051773
He is a bad guy. Look at his balance and what he has done throughout the movie. Calling it flawed is giving him an excuse. He wrecks what he encounters. He spared Bullingdon because he thought Bullingdon would spare him. He's a gambler. And it backfired.

>>214051666
I sympathize with your take to some extent. I found them both to be repugnant characters who were nearly impossible to root for. But it's a mistake to divide people into good or bad/hero or villain categories. They were both just deeply flawed people.

>>214051361 (OP)
Its a film that states what we all know, the Irish are not to be trusted!

>>214051886
Alright. Let's all just be flawed together then. How wonderful. Splendid! Marvelous! Oh joy! You'll take Barry and Bullingdon into your home then, I take it?

>>214051932
Die immediately, bong

>>214051422
It's one of the most accessible Kubrick movies

>>214051999
>You'll take Barry and Bullingdon into your home then, I take it?
Why would I want to take someone I find repugnant into my home?

You can identify someone as generally foolish and unscrupulous while at the same time not viewing them as bad or evil. We're all products of our genes and environments, and no one is devoid of positive or negative traits. It's just that some people should be avoided (or, better yet, set on the right path).

>>214051361 (OP)
Watched this for the first time with my woman and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s an engrossing story with beautiful cinematography.

>>214052182
I was joking. The movie goes deeper than that. But you're still doing it. first you call them 'flawed', now you call them 'foolish'. That's the kind of thinking that has put us in the situation we are in. Too much understanding is detrimental. A line must be drawn.
>Or better yet, set on the right path
Be my guest, nobody is stopping you.

>>214051817
part of sparing bullingdon was because he lost a son and he wasn't about to take the life of the son of his wife who he still had feelings for

>>214052332
>first you call them 'flawed', now you call them 'foolish'
The 2 aren't mutually exclusive

If you consistently behave in a foolish manner, I would consider you both flawed and generally foolish.

Anyway, this is silly. I'll give you the last word.

Pump and dumb le single moms.

>>214051422
It’s a beautiful movie. It would be good on mute

>>214052344
Robbing her blind. But he has feelings for her.

>Yo Bullington, ya like apples? Get a load a these apples!
Love it. Such a great bildungsroman farce.

>>214052013
Dat's not really an argument dere dough is it dough, Pat? Ya daft ballicks.

>>214051437
Lots happens and there's a lot of very funny dialogue (which probably whooshed you). Not many explosions though, so you probably didn't look up from your phone.

>>214051536
Who are you quoting, schizo?

>>214051536
I love this copypasta

are you baiting? barry lyndon was incredible

>>214051460

The thing that I like about this card is that it is the clearest statement of Kubrick's own atheism, his private views on religion, in his entire filmography. "This was a story about a bunch of people who did a bunch of stuff. They are all equal now (because they are all dead, and because they have not been differentiated in any sort of an afterilfe)."

>>214051666

The fact that he tries to fuck his cousin right off the bat is meant to indicate (to the contemporary viewer) that he's scummy.

>>214051707

I prefer KILLER'S KISS to the killing, and the former was a very short kind of student film. It oozes mood and has a number of great noir shots. The young Kubrick's first really decent film, in which he declares: "I understand how Noir works."

Barry Lyndon wouldn't care about African and Indian foreigners invading his native Ireland or even his new home England.

ah yes Kubrick's mise-en-scene

>>214051422
I like it the same way I like 7/10 movies

>>214056441
credit for these should go to the costume designer, the set designer, and the cinematographer.

>>214056492
Speaking of the costume designer, she's effay as fuck.

It did. It literally won the Oscar in all three categories. The film also won for adapted soundtrack (not original score), and got some nice nods for best picture/best director, although it didn't score those. Barry Lyndon had a fine night at the Oscars, especially the parties involved that you just indicated.

The set design guy had worked with Kubrick before and he knew that it could be very intense (I think he may have had a nervous breakdown during Dr. Strangelove, or close to it). So when he signed back up for Barry Lyndon, he fully knew what he was getting himself into, something a first-time Kubrick collaborator can never really, fully understand until they've been through it. He felt very vindicated when he got the Oscar, of course. It may have been worth it after all.

>>214051361 (OP)
Never seen this movie because I can't stand Ryan O'Neal. Just something about him that I don't like.

>>214053180
It’s the perfect bait while simultaneously highlighting the best aspects of Barry Lyndon
