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.

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.

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...

    Emotionally favorite Kushen's work, this kind of slow and beautiful is completely irresistible.

    The effect of the legendary F0.7 lens. Like "Spartacus", there is a "intermission", I don't know if it was intentional or that era needed to be off. A lot of close-up to long-range shots, I heard that the precise but boring composition is to satirize the boredom of the upper class. To recommend, I have not yet understood Kubrick enough~

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.
