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 agencies of the United States. However, the most amazing thing is that NASA agreed to lend it to Kubrick, so what a great symbol this is in it. So, the Barry Lyndon you are seeing now has cross-era memories in it.

    #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.

    1. Restore the classical style to perfection. Visually, each shot is like a painting by Fragonard, Watteau, Consborough, and the pastoral part is in the style of Claude Lorrain. Musically, Handel and Schubert's two songs are used superbly. The theme is one of the most classic themes of 18th and 19th century literature: disillusionment. 2. In order to capture the real vision in the candlelit castle in the 18th century, Lao Ku insisted on shooting in natural light. For this purpose, he acquired a 50mm f0.7 lens and two specially made 75mm and 30mm lenses, and took slow zoom shooting. , successfully created a gorgeous hazy visual sense. It is said that the photographer of "Mozart" tried to borrow this lens from Lao Ku, but Lao Ku refused. 3. Lao Ku initially took a fancy to "Vanity Fair". It is said that the reason why he chose Thackeray's novella adaptation was that he found that "Vanity Fair" was too wrapped up in 3 hours to explain clearly. But I seriously doubt that it is because he can't make a big heroine and a straight man quit. 4. One of my favorite Kubrick movies, if only he had made Napoleon out.

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!
