Barry Lyndon, Reivew on Barry Lyndon

"Barry Lyndon" has been hailed as an epic since its release in 1975, and some Kubrick fans even consider it his pinnacle as a director and author. In many ways, it was Kubrick's last masterpiece, and while his later works were not as wise, they were nowhere near as good as Barry Lyndon, Dr. Strangelove, and 2001's A Space Odyssey. ” and “A Clockwork Orange” on a par. In almost all films, Stanley Kubrick's attitude oscillates between satire and allegory. This is a guy who likes to be mystical and clever, and is never afraid to show his malice. It's just that "Barry Lyndon" is not like the kind of movie that has been noticed from the beginning or has always been, and more often requires an audience to discover it.

After the film was released, it was highly praised by the American Film Critics Association, saying that "Barry Lyndon" was the best film, and Kubrick was again affirmed as the best director. The film also won Oscars for Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction and Best Score. The film is epic, the composition and photography are meticulous, the costumes and sets are meticulous, and the use of music is bold and unique. John Woo's method of contrasting with the violence of flying pigeons can be traced back to this film. Film wizard Stanley Kubrick brings an eighteenth-century European legend to the screen with near-perfect film technology. Each shot is as elegant as a classical oil painting, and the ending has a sense of sadness that has gone through the vicissitudes of life. The whole film is three hours long and divided into two volumes, which should not be missed by audiences who like literary films.
