      Barry Lyndon--Elaborate Lens Language

      Even without considering the hardware advantages of the 0.7 aperture lens, the photography of this film is still very good. Achieving the achievement of full natural light is, of course, very difficult, but the value of doing so needs to be considered. At present, it feels more like trying to contrast the unreal feeling. This film takes a lot of effort to create unrealistic: overexposure, soft...

      Barry Lyndon--Cross-Era Memories In This Movie

      By the way, there was no photography technology in 1975 that could show the scene with only candle light at night on the big screen, but Kubrick, being paranoid, refused to use electric lights in the scene. So what to do? Look at how good people are! I went straight to NASA and asked NASA to borrow a camera. Of course, NASA’s camera is not the kind of camera used for filming, but NASA’s kind of dark light and soft shadow technology was only available to the military...

      Barry Lyndon--Great Movie In Every Way

      "They are all equal now" is the attitude of playing the life of the predecessors in the historical dimension, or fun, throughout, from the dislocation of using relaxed flute music to match war scenes and exciting marches to match deserter scenes, to the narration, a god-like prediction and statement of the fate of the characters in the film. Many characters in the play are hateful and contemptuous, but the director's reasonable layout under this kind of taste guide makes it...

      Barry Lyndon - To Picture and Score

      I glanced at the progress bar during the intermission (the first time I saw these words in the movie), it was actually a 3h movie, I suddenly realized that the rhythm of this movie is slow, but there is no desire to fast forward, but it is quiet waiting for the end to come. The films that make me fidgety aren't because of their slow pace, but because they don't have the usual Kubrick-framed images and seamless soundtracks. The sarabande turns over and over again like the wheel of fortune,...

      Barry Lyndon - Beautiful Arching

      Three hours, I had never took my phone out to see social media for one time. That is very enough to prove how I was attracted by this classic masterpiece directed by genius Stanley Kubrick!

      Every scene can be appreciated as an unique classical painting. I was again touched to tear by a sequence in which Lyndon's beloved little son died because of falling down from a horse. The little boy hold his parents' hands together, wishing that they could love each other after his death and they...

      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...

    Behind the scenes

    There are rumors that the film was shot with natural light and no artificial lighting was used. In fact, this is not the case; for example, when Brian learned that he would have a horse, artificial lighting was chosen for the scene.
    Some of the ancient costumes in the film are genuine antiques borrowed from the auction by the costume designer Milena Canonero, but most of the costumes are specially made by the crew.
    The film production...

    Evaluation action

    "Barry Linden" received a high evaluation from the American Film Critics Association (Southern Net Review)   . 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,...

    Movie 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.

    • Captain Grogan: [dying] I've only a hundred guineas left to give you for I lost the rest at cards last night. Kiss me, me boy, for we'll never meet again.
