"Barry Linden" received a high evaluation from the American Film Critics Association
. The film pursues the quiet and neutral flat painting style of the 18th century. The morning and sunset landscapes in the film are like a soft and beautiful oil painting. The subtle differences in color and light and shadow caused by time changes make the picture present a rich layer. Beauty. Even when shooting large scenes, the film deliberately creates a flat effect that compresses the space, and its interior shooting is also quite elegant. The crew borrowed antique costumes from the museum as costumes for the film, which greatly enhanced the texture of the performance and the realism of the scene. The film chooses the music of Handel, Schubert, Mozart and Vivaldi as the soundtrack, which is also a very appropriate interpretation of the life situation and spiritual temperament of the aristocratic society in the 18th century.

I grinned for three hours. It's worth it! Every frame is like an oil painting. Why are those so-and-so shoehorns who are famous for their colors? The battle scene also tmd with such a cheerful Andante! Don't blame them for saying you are formalism! The English and German are so cute, I think it’s so high!

The 1975 film is still a level that cannot be surpassed by Chinese historical themes. Not only the indoor candlelight photography, but also the insight into the world and people's hearts. The restoration of the historical scenes of the full scene and the meticulousness of the costumes are no longer a test of filmmakers, but a test of a country's attitude towards cultural heritage. It's easy to shoot "flying" historical subjects, but it's really difficult to shoot really. The only regret is that the male protagonist's eyes are too pure and do not show the complexity of the characters after their depravity.
