This type of story didn't appeal to me at all. If it was a book, I would never read it a second time. It's amazing Kubrick, and I didn't feel bored at all during the whole process. Besides, it was the first time that Kubrick's grim perspective was felt very strongly. Before watching "2001: A Space Odyssey" and "The Shining", I didn't have the same feeling. Maybe the universe gave me a very cold feeling, and I haven't read the original book of The Shining, and I feel that thrillers should be like that. "Barry Lyndon" is such a "famous" story, whether it is the male protagonist's high-rise life in the early stage or the relatively down-to-earth experience in the later stage, it makes people feel particularly rational to examine. I can always empathize with the protagonist in movies, even if the villain in "A Clockwork Orange" I can empathize with him (partly, I'm not a pervert hahaha), but watching "Barry Lyndon" is a bystander all the way Feeling, every time you have to put in a little bit, you will get rid of it immediately. The design of some plots, the restrained acting skills of the actors (probably Kubrick's request), and the music should all be the reasons. I won't say anything, but in short: I don't understand it, but I'm shocked.
I love Kubrick so much
