It looks comfortable

Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's closing film, and it's a film with a peaceful and delicate plot. The story itself does not have very intense conflicts, nor does it have a unique and novel setting. It is about how a poor boy from a slum, how to become a high-class person, and after reaching the peak of his life, he quickly fell. But the very perfect way of expression attracts me to keep looking down. The quality of each frame is like an oil painting and the soundtrack is just right, which makes people feel very comfortable. If I was asked to watch it again, I would still like it, not because I want to know the next plot, but because the process of watching a movie is a kind of enjoyment in itself.

    94#. 1. As Kubrick said in the interview, the use of narration directs the audience's attention from "what will happen" to "how it will happen", the bitterness of the little people trying to break through the class and the fate of sympathy are all in three words . 2. The composition and light selection are extremely exquisite, as if the screen is covered with a subtle and hazy soft yarn, which makes the film have the dual beauty of ''moving image'' and ''still picture''. 3. ''There are classical famous music, why choose original'' This concept and sufficient preparations in the early stage make each plot fit into the notes that are perfectly combined with the times. In December 1789, Barry Lyndon lost all his pomp, dragged his broken leg and unbearable memories back to his hometown. Life was full of flavors, joy and glory, misery and depression, all returning to dust.

    #rhythm# has obvious rhythm rules in the use of audio-visual elements. First watch it with the sound on, then watch it with the sound off, and carefully appreciate the rhythm between the picture and the editing. First, I shoot close-ups of the characters, and then gradually zoom out to make the characters smaller, and the surrounding environment and scenes become very prominent. It is also widely used to express love and war, which has become a major feature of the film's photographic language. The repeated alternations and contrasts between the characters in the foreground and the background that determines all their actions are all over the film, lover's trysts and public duels, private intrigues and blatant frauds in casinos.

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Narrator: Lady Lyndon was soon destined to occupy a place in Barry's life, not very much more important than the elegant carpets and pictures which would form the pleasant background of his existence.

  • Barry's Mother: Reverend Runt, I need not tell you that the recent tragedy to this family has made the services of a tutor no longer required at Castle Hackton. And as we are in some considerable difficulty about money, I'm afraid I must ask you, with the greatest reluctance, to resign your post.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: Madam, I'm sensible of your predicament, and you need have no concern about my wages, with which I can willingly do without, but it is out of the question for me to consider leaving Her Ladyship in her present state.

    Barry's Mother: I'm very sorry to say this to you, but I truly believe you are largely responsible for the state of mind she is in, and the sooner you leave, the better she will be.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: Madam, with the greatest respect, I take my instructions only from Her Ladyship.

    Barry's Mother: Reverend Runt, Her Ladyship is in no fit mind to give instructions to anyone. My son has charged me with managing the affairs at Castle Hackton until he recovers from his grief and resumes his interest in worldly matters. And while I am in charge, you will take your instructions from me. My only concern is for Lady Lyndon.

    Rev. Samuel Runt: Madam! Your only concern is for Her Ladyship's signature! You and your son have almost succeeded in destroying a fine family fortune! And what little remains for you depends on keeping Her Ladyship prisoner in her own house!

    Barry's Mother: Reverend Runt! This matter bears no further discussion! You will pack your bags and leave by tomorrow morning!
