Consistent Kubrick kernel (little people struggling hard, absurdly shattered ending). On the outside are the elegant clothes and music of the Middle Ages. If you just simply feel the medieval scenery, driven by slow classical music, the oil painting-like scenery can make people fascinated. The plot is cliché, seeing him entertain guests in a high-rise building, and seeing his building collapse. In the end, the white land was really clean. The reason for Barry's rise is his chance, the right and left jumps of the opportunists, good luck, but also his own qualities such as courage and courage. The superficial reason for Barry's whereabouts seems to be compassion, guilt for Mrs. Linton, and finally the decision to release water. The underlying reason is precisely because he has been speculating all the way, and he does not know how to keep his feet on the ground, manage his wealth, and improve himself, but always think of taking shortcuts to get a title that does not belong to him, and he does not cherish his wealth (the ability does not belong to him, and he does not cherish it. normal), and ultimately he cannot control the wealth and status that does not belong to him. (Just like a sentence, people can't earn wealth beyond their own eyes, even if they get it for a while, it will eventually be returned) Suppose that Barry is a military officer with outstanding military achievements, and the outcome is very different when he combines with Mrs. Linton. But Kubrick clearly didn't want to express this kind of heroic and epic story. However, Kubrick's ambition not only wants to tell us that speculation is not advisable, but to be down-to-earth in order to earn their own wealth and status.
He prefers to express the strict hierarchy of the Middle Ages under the beautiful appearance, and the class is solidified. Ordinary incompetent little people can only rely on speculation to rise to the top, and even such a speculative villain is more courageous in duels than some empty payers who only know how to play cards with their mouths full of "wealth" and "jazz". Expressed the full satire of the superiors (as others have said, the eye-opening is a satire of the modern superiors, in the same line of thought, Dr. Bill did not speculate, just snooped and was rejected). This is Kubrick's tenderness towards little people under the cold narrative.
There are also anti-war themes that work well (the fragmentation of families caused by war, the sacrifice of comrades in arms, etc.)
In the end, Kubrick's camera language is still so old-fashioned. Barry and Mrs. Linton's love scene has no language but it is very natural; Barry's self-satisfied villain looks like when he puffs on Mrs. Linton; Son comes in; last duel lined up for over 40 days and so on. Kubrick's pursuit of cinematic art is visible.
In the end, I made a few comments, and the process of the duel can still be understood. Have you always beaten drums and advanced to be the enemy's living target in battle before? Sun Wu, who wrote that "the soldier never tires of deceit", is afraid that he will not be angry when he sees it. 2333
Mrs. Linton was cast and her attire was perfect. Although it was not my type, she felt like a classical beauty from the Middle Ages.
