Ireland, Raymond Barry (played by Ryan O'Neal) grew up living with his mother at his uncle's house, and later fell in love with his cousin Nora. Nora's father wanted to marry her to John Quin, an English general. So Barry proposed a duel to Quin, in which Barry shot Quin, mistakenly thought he had killed him, and hurriedly fled from his hometown. He was robbed on the way and had no choice but to join the British army. It was in the army that he learned that Quin was not dead. Barry fled from the British Army, but joined the Prussian Army. After the war, he became a confidant of the Prussian officer Potzdorf, and let him monitor an Irish spy in Prussia. But Barry sympathized with the Irish knight, who took him to and from the casino and gained a lot. Barry felt he should find a rich woman, so he set his sights on Lady Lyndon, Sir Lyndon's wife. Sir Lyndon died of a serious illness, and a year later, Barry married Lady Lyndon and became a nobleman, changing his name to Barry Lyndon. But Bullingdon, the son of Sir Lyndon and Lady Lyndon, disliked Barry very much, and Barry also had a premonition that his future would be ruined by Bullingdon...

There is an air of decadent high society throughout the story.

I have only seen them dressed in major galleries in the UK.

What impressed me the most was Lyndon, such a beautiful woman, who didn't talk much, she was always in a very melancholy state, she was disheartened when she saw that she didn't let her servants go, but she had a kind of forbearance in her. , The powerful forbearance, including the signing of those huge debts, did not produce a particularly big inner change.

    The dark version of Forrest Gump. Barry is not of bad quality, but lack of quality. He can drill at the cracks and insert at the hole. He doesn't follow principles and sticks to it, so he is like a walking corpse. In the Odyssey of the Rootless Man, the last stage of his life is considered to have gained a little sense of morality. The elites are good, they should strive to be the elites, but it's not cool to be the elite. The least able to fight fate is cleverness, fate will take everything back in the end. Real villains are better than hypocrites.

    Thackeray’s novels, Handel’s music, 18th-century oil paintings, family members’ reading-like narratives before going to bed, forgetting the chronology and the scenes, this is Nanke Yimeng, the beauty of the integrated classical art form.

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Narrator: [voice-over] It is well to dream of glorious war in a snug armchair at home, but it is a very different thing to see it first hand. And after the death of his friend, Barry's thoughts turned from those of military glory to those of finding a way to escape the service to which he was now tied for another six years. Gentlemen may talk of the age of chivalry, but remember the ploughmen, poachers and pickpockets whom they lead. It is with these sad instruments that your great warriors and kings have been doing their murderous work in the world.

  • Redmond Barry: Sir, I... I have a confession to make to you. I'm an Irishman. And my name is Redmond Barry. I was abducted into the Prussian army two years ago, and now have been put into your service by my Captain Potzdorf, and his uncle, the Minister of Police... to serve as a watch upon your... actions... and to give information to the same quarter.

    Narrator: [voice-over] The Chevalier was as much affected as Barry at thus finding one of his countrymen. For he too was an exile from home, and a friendly voice, a look, brought the old country back to his memory again.
