Barry Lyndon

The genius Kushen has not only created suspense films, war films, violent films, sci-fi films, and horror films, but also such modern European aristocratic literary films can produce epic effects. The lighting, the set, the soundtrack, and the photography are all so perfect that every frame of the film is like a delicate oil painting. The heroine is so beautiful in terms of facial features, decoration and clothing. With her irresistible temperament that jumps out of the screen, she tells the audience that she is an extremely beautiful and elegant lady of the upper class in England. After watching the movie, I regretted for a moment that I was born in the wrong place, at the wrong time, and at the wrong class.

In fact, I still recommend that you go and watch the first few Kubrick works first, because you will naturally want to continue chasing after his films after watching those few.

    It is undoubtedly one of Lao Ku’s most delicate and profound works. The 3-hour epic of classical characters is not at all boring, and there are almost tears in several scenes. At the same time, it is also a photography textbook at the top level: wide-angle / close-up / close-up / distant view / handheld / track / character / landscape / fast editing / long lens.

    Seeing him rise from a tall building, seeing him banqueting guests, seeing his building collapse, and looking back at the end, the glory and desire are exaggerated, and the separation of life and death is the truth. The funny thing about fate is that the first two times Barry decided to be a gentleman, once a deserter, and once an old man, but both had good luck. In the end, the real gentleman spared his stepson's life and ended up in exile with a disability. This kind of ending looks bleak. , as far as I am concerned, it may not be the real home. Regardless of whether you were dying in the countryside, died in battle, or worked hard to manage wealth and honor for a long time, anyway, they were annihilated in the dust and conversations of others, and there was no fundamental difference in the day-to-day inner experience. Anyone who has lived knows it. Just know it yourself.
