I remember Mr. Xiaosong said that the form of art is more important than the content. The red and black plots and the Renaissance-style pictures are so beautiful that it is heartbreaking. Today I want to talk about Mrs Lyndon Barry met Mrs Lyndon for the first time, her eyes were despair of life, her eyes were as cold as gray, next to her half-hearted husband, her marriage was of course unfortunate , the beautiful and rich Mrs Lyndon is nothing but a marionette. He saw through her the first time he saw her. When he met her, he was like the men he had ridiculed before, for status and money, he climbed onto her bedside. Well-arranged innings, provocative lustful eyes, and clever words, his appearance filled the emptiness in her heart, and then her dependence and addiction to him stepped into a pre-arranged trap step by step.

desire

Before getting her, he was considerate, gentle, and single-minded; after getting her, he was profligate, indifferent, and unfaithful. She saw through everything, but was powerless. He was his playboy outside, showing mercy. She took care of the children at home and looked through the autumn waters. Men only think of her when they are short of money, and her most repeated action in the movie is to sign a check, first for her husband and then for her son.

hopeless

Of course their marriage would not end well. In the face of the cruel truth of life, as beautiful and noble as Mrs Lyndon is also a drained ant. A friend of Dou said earlier that love is sexual desire plus a little goodwill. Maybe I am more idealistic, although the reality may be true. I like a boy, but I will not bow down for him. Two people love each other on the basis of mutual respect. This is my view on love. It has nothing to do with the movie, the confession was rejected the day before yesterday, and I feel it. Finally like everyone, love the ending of the movie. Dust to dust, dust to dust, their story is over...

Barry Lyndon quotes

  • Narrator: [voice-over] It is well to dream of glorious war in a snug armchair at home, but it is a very different thing to see it first hand. And after the death of his friend, Barry's thoughts turned from those of military glory to those of finding a way to escape the service to which he was now tied for another six years. Gentlemen may talk of the age of chivalry, but remember the ploughmen, poachers and pickpockets whom they lead. It is with these sad instruments that your great warriors and kings have been doing their murderous work in the world.

  • Redmond Barry: Sir, I... I have a confession to make to you. I'm an Irishman. And my name is Redmond Barry. I was abducted into the Prussian army two years ago, and now have been put into your service by my Captain Potzdorf, and his uncle, the Minister of Police... to serve as a watch upon your... actions... and to give information to the same quarter.

    Narrator: [voice-over] The Chevalier was as much affected as Barry at thus finding one of his countrymen. For he too was an exile from home, and a friendly voice, a look, brought the old country back to his memory again.
