1. Barry’s military service:
Barry is a very good young man, but his background is not good. He is a farmer, huddled up in his uncle’s house and fell in love with his cousin, but then his cousin empathized and fell in love with the powerful British non-commissioned officer, Barry. Furious, he fought against his rival in love, bang, he won, and the opponent died. Then, Barry began his escape career. From the beginning, his fate was destined to be extraordinary. Barry was as lucky as Sanmao and got it. Fortunately, he climbed all the way in the army and got a lot of opportunities. After the war ended, Barry began to help the upper class in scams and made a lot of wealth. At this time, he realized that although he could no longer love one with his heart Woman, but at least, he knew that his handsome little face could still be used, so he found Countess Linton very snobbery. Soon, Barry captured her and became a husband and wife. , Raymond Barry changed his name to Sir Barry Linden.
Second, Linden Vanity Fair.
Barry Lindon’s path to the upper echelon was not smooth. He spent countless amounts of money, but finally had no results. Gradually, he lost his patience. At this time, he and his son (born of Linton and his ex-husband) Blington were in conflict. The worse, after a brutal beating in full view, Blington ran away from home, and Barry Linden's reputation was also discredited, and it became more and more impossible to obtain his own title. Obviously, the God of Destiny had abandoned Barry Linden at this time. Misfortune never comes. His own son died in an accident. Since then, Barry has been addicted to alcohol, Linton has also become insane, and the castle is also facing a great debt crisis. The eldest son of Linton, Brinton, heard the news. Going home, looking for Barry Linden's revenge, the two stood on the line of duel, and Barry was kind and let go of Blington, but Blington, who was with a deep hatred, interrupted Barry Linden's one. Legs, Barry Linden had to leave the UK to live with his mother and continue to live a poor life. This is the life of Barry Linden.
I remember a long time ago, a friend saw me writing about "A Clockwork Orange" in my blog, full of admiration for Lao Ku, and said to me: Do you like a Clockwork Orange? I said "Yes, I really like it." My friend said again: Do you know which movie of Lao Ku I love the most? I took my friend's indecent personality as the standard, and immediately answered: Just you, is it Dr. Qi Ai or the eye-opener? My friend shook his head, and I said again: Is it the Shining? My friend still said it was wrong. Next, I pulled down a set of Lao Ku’s movie set, and counted all Lao Ku’s movies in turn, but the result was still not right. Finally, the old man got angry, so I almost knelt down to beg him. Having said the answer, the friend said proudly: It was Barry Linden. . . "Barry Linden?" I was bored, and I had never heard of it, but fortunately, I had the impression that I bought this disc, because I bought it for the CC DVD cover, so, within a few days, I I took this disc out and looked at it. On the cover is a man’s black paint lower body, with a gun in his hand, his foot cracked from his knee, and a blood-colored rose underneath, and a piece of it fell out of it. , Very lonely. Later, I also found this "Barry Linden" in that set of discs, but the name changed to "Children in Troubled Times", the translation is really fucking soil.
Although I finished watching it seven or eight times with a dull head, I have to say that "Barry Linden" completely subverted Kubrick's impression in my mind. As soon as I went arrogant, all the domineering shots were gone, and some were luxurious. The dense rural scenery and the soft and gorgeous lens interpretation, if it weren't for Kubrick's work, I thought it was Zhang Yimou who had gone to work in the UK. . Afterword
:
At first, Old Kuben wanted to adapt Saremi’s other more famous novel "Vanity Fair", but after reading the novel, Kubrick knew that he was unable to outline it completely in the length of the movie, so I chose this novella "Barry Linden". In 2004, a director who was not afraid of death was named Miranell and filmed "Vanity Fair", but the result was unremarkable.
I’m really embarrassed to reveal so much of the plot above, but it’s okay. The three-hour film length will make you vomit blood. If you know the plot first, most of the time, you can still fast forward and watch it, provided you don’t want to. Enjoy the magnificent soundtrack in that movie. The soundtrack of this movie is the one I've seen the most. From the second half, there has been almost no interruption of the background music. The violin and the piano are always whimpering, which makes people listen to it for a long time, and the heart is still true. Some hairy.
"Barry Linden" is the favorite of friends, of course, it has a good performance. In terms of lens language, the film can be described as beautifully filmed, the picture is elegant and indifferent, the rural scenery, the water reflection, and the costume design is also exquisite and gorgeous. , Not only full of style, but also very particular. The movie is divided into two parts, although it is long and slow, but with the narration (all Kubrick’s movies have the role of narration) condensed language narration, the calm and soft speech also makes the movie not feel stiff and pale, two parts With joy and worry, you can experience the difference in style with a single music. The first half is exciting and fluent, and the second half is graceful and sad. This was actually Barry Linden's glorious and failed life.
I remember watching "Buying a Murder and Shooting People" before, and there was a scene in it. When the killer asked the director Ah Quan to quickly hand over the video work, Ah Quan yelled at the killer: Damn, what a day does it do, Martin Sicoser back then It took twenty years, twenty years to photograph the last temptation of Christ. . . . . . Patience has always been the most necessary mentality for filming movies. This is true of art and commercial films. Don’t watch Hollywood blockbusters eat money at an amazing speed, but it’s still the rate of one every two years, which is patient enough. "Linden" also took nearly four years. The duel between Barry and Brinton was shot for 42 days. I believe you will understand how detailed this is after watching the movie. .
Throughout the film, Kubrick borrowed a lot of costumes from the museum. These are really noble costumes from the eighteenth century, and most of the lenses in the film use natural light, sunlight, moonlight, and candlelight. It was shot with the scene, plus all the scenes are not specially set up, but real scenes, which restore the authenticity of history to the greatest extent and increase the credibility of the movie. After talking about Kubrik’s patience and serious attitude towards movies, let’s take a look at these blockbuster films in our country today. These directors, one film a year, blockbusters year after year, and the prosperous Jinli filming like New Year’s, but always make people Unable to be convinced, they should shrink their heads into their crotch and feel ashamed. .
