This story is not the same as "Red and Black". Julien is indeed very capable. Such a smart and hard-working person did not get what he wanted in the end. I think it is a tragedy of social stratification. And Barry Lyndon is purely personal incompetence. It is normal for him to not be able to climb up, and he cannot complain too much about the society.
From a moral point of view, it is also rewarded for good and evil. Those who destroy the lives of Linden's mother and son have been punished. Yes, he let Brynden go in the duel, but they didn't treat him badly in the end, and they paid for it. Retire him. ——So there are no bad people in this story, everyone is doing things with conscience.
However, there are actually no particularly kind people in this story. All the characters are for their own interests, and no one is more noble than the other.
2. Blood ties are more important than anything else, this is the reality.
3. Regarding Ryan O'Neal, he is the one who played the heroine's father in "Bones". He is still very temperamental when he is old. I will go back and look for the episodes where he appeared in "Bones".
It is said that during the casting of this film, Kubrick wanted to use Robert Redford, but because Ryan O'Neal had a stronger box office appeal at the time, the film side insisted on using him as the male lead. As a result, O'Neal's career plummeted after the film, while Robert Redford rose step by step, becoming Kubrick's curse.
——This gossip seems to give an impression: Ryan O’Neal may not be qualified for the male lead, but in fact, after watching this film, you will find that this is an actor with excellent appearance and acting skills. He acts very well. After the age of 40, he failed to successfully transform and became a supporting role in the N-line. It may be due to personality problems + personal affairs (seeing that he has never won child custody after two divorces, and even completely cut off contact with his children, he may have a big personality problem.) ), which is a pity.
Ryan O'Neal has a son and is married to Tom's ex-girlfriend Rebecca. Many people may know this gossip.
