Anybody else see this? Thoughts, opinions?
I thought it was pretty uneventful, a bit emotionless, and hard to connect to the characters, but it held my interest well, and despite being a stupid story, was well told.

I liked it a lot. Barry longed for a father figure yet was always too scared and untrusting to stick to one, and his faults lead to his downfall.
it's like Kubrick's best wtf
I haven't seen it, but it's my favorite Kubrick
What do I think of it, Sup Forums?
Longed for a father figure? Where did you get that from?
It's what he searched for the whole movie. He changes father figure constantly. One after the other. Someone to guide him. He becomes a soldier, a spy, a whatever. But he is too afraid to commit and he flees.
It's a fucking masterpiece. The problem is you're a pleb.
>Barry
>Emotionless
Wut?
Be more autistic.
Yeah. He had a very stiff face. Not that he -never- showed emotion, it's just he was kind of reserved i guess. Maybe that's just how it was back then.
I never said I didn't like it.

>Anybody else see this?
:^|
It was.
It was hardly uneventful, and you've got to be autistic to think it was emotionless.
No, it wasn't, you colossal pleb
>Kiss me my boy, for we will never meet again
What did he mean by this?
I'm sorry your precious Kubrick made a dull movie. Wahh, cry more.
pseudo-intellectual core, much like all of kubrick's flicks
Every frame a painting gimmick isn't good either
(You)
Why don't you go back to shitposting in one of your several dozen GoT threads?
Another masterpiece by the genius Kubrick, the one who mastered every single genre.
>war (3 times)
>period drama
>sci-fi (he made the only good sci-fi movie, what a man!)
>heist
>film-noir
>peplum
>romance
>erotica
>comedy
>horror (same, only good horror movie, incredible)
He was the most based director ever!
I can't tell if you're being serious or not.
But yeah hes made some great movies. He made my favorite, a Clockwork Orange.
In this pathetically ironic post, there's still a lot of truth. Sorry, babby :(
Barry Lyndon BTFO
Without a doubt my favorite Kubrick movie, I don't see at all how you can see it as emotionless, it's probably the most emotional movie I've seen.
>pathetically ironic
Hello pleb
>start out life hoping for true love, duel for your woman's honor in the face of death
>Redmond ends up cynical, jaded and fucks left and right while ruining some aristocrat's fortune
Kubrick's best work
You didn't think it was a bit stiff? Eh, maybe I'm wrong.
Barry Lyndon is the best movie ever made.
You probably only see it as "stiff", because you've been binging capeshit and other Hollywood quip-fests for the last 15 years.
Movies before 2000 tend to be longer, and allow for some actual character development before the explosions and action scenes kick in.
Didn't he ruin her fortune to become a Lord and have some insurance?
>tfw I actually watched two Avenger movies and Batman V Superman before watching Barry Lyndon
This movies embodies what is growing up to be a man.
10/10
/r/movies was a mistake
I thought it was an extremely thorough exploration of fatherhood, both from the point of Barry's longing and his relationship with father figures and from the point of view about how he struggles with being a father figure.
I think it's a mature movie though, what I mean by that is not that "lol dumb kids don't understand it 2deep4you" I mean it in terms of the themes of family life explored in the movie.
roddot loves Kubrick though
>mfw Bullingdon thought it was a great prank to have Brian wear his shoes
it was a good idea, he trolled barry in front of the aristocracy and made him embarrass himself
>a bit emotionless
>mfw he puked from fear
he thought he was about to be killed by someone who had cheated on and manipulated his mother, bullied him for most of his teen years and blew his family fortune
Well, there you go.
Perhaps now, after watching something that's actually good, which leaves you with something to consider after finishing it, you will realize just how much of a waste of time watching capeshit actually is.
I've personally not watched any capeshit since Iron Man, as I literal felt like a sniveling retard being spoonfed quips and explosions in order to keep me interested.
Everybody loves Kubrick
been years since i've watched the film, but is there any depictions of him bullying his step-son? cheating is a different thing. who the hell doesn't? plus aristocratic sexual proclivities were a bit different than they are today, and having a mistress back then was a given.
>he thought he was about to be killed by someone who had cheated on and manipulated his mother, bullied him for most of his teen years and blew his family fortune
i know this all to be true but i cant help but root for barry
youtube.com
pretty interesting video about the lenses used in the film
Yeah, I recognized Barry was a dick, but couldn't help but root for him. He went through a lot over the years, so I guess I could easily forgive his dickishness, whereas bullingdon was a spoiled child who never faced any real hardships.
People give shit to Barry for marrying up, but women do this all the time, and it's perfectly acceptable. Where's the equality in that?
I think bullingdon saying heinous things and making his mother cry was what set him off, not the shoes.
Also, why all the butthurt over Barry wrecking bullingdons shit? Fucker deserved it.
Yes, but in the process of obtaining Lordship he had to court many high-life bourgeois which bankrupted them
>Barry shot at the ground like a fucking gentleman
>"Lord Bullingdon, do you have satisfaction?"
>my fucking face when he refuses
beautiful film with a somewhat weak ending.
>emotionless
That scene when he tells the story to his dying son was the most emotional thing I've ever seen in a film.
You stupid cunt.
I cant blame him for marrying up - I feel like one of his main reasons for doing so was to secure a royal patronage for his offspring and to bring his mother over whom he had abandoned for years - by marrying he could solve all his problems in one more; find love, do right by his mother, and secure his lineage.
fuck bullingdon
Really beautiful. A lot of scenes look like paintings from that era
...
...
Literally one of the most beautiful films ever made. Heaven for the eyes. As I'm concerned it's top 2 with DOH.
Honestly, I thought the whole emotional distance to the characters was intended because it was a story of a sociopath. The world (after the first act) was cold as shit.
Also, I watch this every year. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.
i think Barry Lyndon is kino, and i mean this unironically
holy maccaroni
why graduated nd's always look like shit
This tbqh
underrated
watch flowers of shanghai too
10/10
Also the ultimate "women can never understand" movie.
True. true, that was a pretty heart wrenching
I GUESS I DIDNT THINK THAT ONE ALL THE WAY THROUGH, SORRY FAGGOT
My dick got hard Tbh.
>own a copy of Barry Lyndon
>it's on VHS
:,(
Absolutely loved the movie. The visuals were fucking gorgeous (costumes, set design, and photography all came together amazingly) and it worked well as an extremely dry tragicomedy.
>that utter, comical fear in john quinn's eyes when he duels barry
Still not sure if those people in the background are paintings or actors.
together with 2001 the only 10/10 film by Kubrick
agree. But making 2 masterpieces in your career is pretty impressive
this movie is extremelly unpretentious though
It is, but all his other films are sub-par. Paths of Glory and Dr. Strangelove are alright.
>pseudo-intellectual
It doesn't even purport to be intellectual, so it can't be pseudo-intellectual.
Generalizing too much is the mistake you make. You should've given Barry Lyndon a better look.
>he needs to connect/like characters
What Kubrick movie should I watch next? I've seen (in order of preference) :
Barry Lyndon
2001
A clockwork orange
Dr Strangelove
The shining
Fullmetal jacket
Cant think of any Kubrick movie that is under 7/10. Some of them might be overrated, but it is still an overall solid filmography
Fear and Desire
Spartacus
if you want something similar to Barry Lyndon
Lolita
if you want something similar to Strangelove
I thought Lolita was 6/10. But all others were at least 8/10 to me.
That's my order as well. Watch Eyes Wide Shut next. Cruise's acting is kind of weak, but everything else is fantastic. The visuals are gorgeous, the camerawork is brillant, and the tension is constant, so you won't even blink while watching it.
Oops sorry I already watched it but I forgot to put it in my list, probably because I really didn't like it lol.
Honestly I usually agree with Sup Forums's opinion in general but I can't understand what's the hype about this movie
Gonna watch those, starting with Spartacus
Thanks
What the fuck is wrong with captcha lol
>Cant think of any Kubrick movie that is under 7/10.
And I agree. But you'll find many directors who make better films on average, like Tarkovsky, Kurosawa, Bergman, Fellini, ...
