The first half shows how he gradually climbed to a minor noble by virtue of his ingenuity and luck under the turbulent background, and the second half freezes the picture in the castle, showing his life after middle age. The three-hour feature film with almost no dialogue is a little boring, but when we watch it completely, we can realize that this is not just his story, but the story of that era. Is Barry a nice guy? He loves his son and attaches great importance to his feelings, but he betrays his wife and treats his stepson cruelly. But all this is not important anymore. As said at the end, they are all people from the past. There is a Clockwork Orange in the front and The Shining in the back. This film sandwiched between these two masterpieces seems to be different. Eye-catching, but definitely grossly underrated. This is not only Kubrick's longest, but also his only classic work, and the method is really different from those of the BBC who love to shoot classical dramas. Whether it is the male lead or the female lead, their behavioral motives are different from those of the BBC. The joys, sorrows and sorrows are all overhead, and they will hardly be described directly to you. They are contrasted by the very clear behaviors and attitudes of several supporting characters, which makes people deeply feel that all their encounters are irresistibly driven by the wheel of history. . The film's photography, music, and costumes are extremely beautiful. Some scenes make people laugh, while others take their breath away. Even I, who have never been interested in this subject, have always watched it with relish. The last subtitle is too sad. "The joys and sorrows of the above-mentioned characters happened in the period of George III. Whether good or bad, beautiful or poor, rich or poor, they have now returned to the land equally"... Kubrick, what else is there that you can't control It's a pity that it's gone... The passing years, the passing myths, these may be the will of God, the gentle universe, what can I do with this little planet? Only waiting for new miracles in passing. - Inscription [Barry Lyndon] Kubrick is the least well-known and the most underrated Kubrick. 3 hours of ancient costume masterpiece, slow rhythm, soothing soundtrack, photography is the ultimate, all natural light shooting, a large number of rear-moving lenses, creating a beauty like oil painting.
