Worth a visit just for photography

First-class photography, even if the British countryside is already beautiful, who knows if it is not like this? Every shot: villages, castles, palaces, abandoned bridges, boats in the river, trails by the river, lovers in the garden, fallen soldiers on the battlefield, pistols in the hands of duelists, evening, morning When the fog rises, when the duke summons, ..., everything is beautiful, just like the "Hunter's Notes" in Russia. Driven by the plot to unfold to the audience. The male protagonist Barry Lyndon is almost a British version of Julien, growing from a simple boy to a villain, and the high society like him is not surprised to despise him in order to maintain his morality; but not as good as "Red". The depth of "And the Black", for example, the film did not doubt the society itself, nor questioned life, nor dared to tease the Mao of the church.

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Barry's Mother: [to Barry] I shall not rest until I see you as Lord Lyndon. You have important friends. They can tell you how these things are done. For money, well-timed and properly applied can accomplish anything.

  • Redmond Barry: If ever I should meet him again you will find out who is the best man of the two. I'll fight him sword or pistol, captain as he is.
