Perhaps he himself was just like a puppet. He was cheated by his cousins ​​and drove him out of the house. After joining the English army, he was brave and resourceful because of his friendship with upright officers. After the officer died, he found an opportunity to escape and was forced to join the Prussian army. As a double spy, he took refuge in the Irish aristocracy (upstart) who was blessed by the Queen of Austria, and thus embarked on the road of making a fortune by cheating gambling cards. Since then, this character has gradually become obscene, marrying Mrs. Lyndon and embezzling property, and his mother has also changed from a peasant woman living in her brother's house to a noblewoman, encouraging her son to buy a title.

    The attempt to reproduce the film structure completely in accordance with literature may not be very successful. Cool and humorous, I really want to laugh when I watch the extras stand or walk to complete the composition. Only Kubrick can let me endure Ryan O'Neal for three hours. The actors of the lady and the priest are amazing, especially for the latter. I wrongly blamed Van Eyck's paintings of people who really grew up like this.

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Sir Charles Lyndon: [laughs] He wants to step into my shoes. He wants to step into my shoes. Is it not a pleasure Gentlemen for me, as I am drawing near the goal - to find my home such a happy one - my wife so fond of me, that she is even now thinking of appointing a successor? Isn't it a comfort to see her like a prudent housewife - getting everything ready for her husband's departure?

    Redmond Barry: I hope you're not thinking of leaving us soon, Sir Charles?

    Sir Charles Lyndon: Not so soon my dear as you may fancy, perhaps. Why man I've been given over many times these four years. And there was always a candidate or two - waiting to apply for the situation. I'm sorry for you, Mr. Barry. It grieves me to keep you or any gentleman waiting. Had you not better arrange with my doctor or have the cook flavor my omelette with arsenic, eh? What are the odds, gentlemen, that I live to see Mr. Barry hang yet?

    Redmond Barry: Sir, let those laugh that win.

  • Narrator: [voice-over] A lady who sets her heart upon a lad in uniform must prepare to change lovers pretty quickly, or her life will be but a sad one. This heart of Lischen's was like many a neighboring town and had been stormed and occupied several times before Barry came to invest it.
