ITT: Films Women WILL Never Understand

Women don't understand time travel movies. It doesn't matter which one.

bACK TO THE bARRY lYNDON

Why is the narrator considered to be unreliable?

I didnt even understand it

Is he?
Well at the most we're getting Barry's perspective I suppose.

DAE think this was Kubrick's only good film? I heard that Reddit knows about his other films.

>drinking with childhood friend the other night
>make a vague reference to Barry Lyndon
>he's never heard of it, but he has all of Kubrick's other meme movies on his HD

It's mainly because the novel it was based off had an unreliable narrator (it was Barry himself). I don't think the movie narrator is unreliable, although it could be seen that way based on how he makes certain assumptions.

Yeah Barry Lyndon is one of the most underappreciated movies ever made. Whenever someone brings up Kubrick, BL never seems to be mentioned.

Except here, anyways.

The novel was. Not the movie.

I dont know how to sell my friend on watching it since he thinks I'm smarter than him and he's got an impatient almost normie taste palate (Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut). I still love him though

Is Barry Lyndon one, if not the best movie ever done?

Only strangelove and Clockwork Orange could be considered Barry Lyndon's equals.

All others are inferior

I dont know if people who like Eyes Wide Shut are the plebbiest faggots ever or they simply ascended to a state of mind and kinology that I will never be able to comprehend?

Top 100. Made until today

I don't know either

But that's because I never saw a Tom Cruise film

I swear there's not a single woman on this earth who's capable of going through Barry Lyndon without swiping their fucking phones in the first half an hour max and then zooming out for the rest of the movie.

name one fucking woman who has even SEEN barry lyndon. i bet there isn't one in the history of the universe.

My mom's favorite movie is Last of the Mohicans so MAYBE she's seen it (Michael Mann is patrician), I'll ask her next time I see her.

God this bitch has such a punchable face

Pauline Kael. She didn't care for it.

Pauline Kael thought Clint Eastwood was the worst thing to happen to cinema

She was worse than the average woman

Well according to Wikipedia, tvtropes and other sites, they consider the narrator to be unreliable for some reasons. I find it rather odd to be honest. When was the ever narrator unreliable?
Book is another story but we’re talking about the books.

>we’re talking about the books.
Oops sorry I ment the film. We’re talking about the film.

I love the first half as you follow Barry's rise to riches through thick and thin, but Jesus Christ, the second half is so fucking depressing I have a hard time getting myself to rewatch it.

Watched it for the first time in a shit depressed mindset and it blew me away. Maybe this is why normies will never understand.

It is true ! That is why I had to grow a penis !

>*blocks your path*

What do you do?

Join the Grenadiers of course.

G-Good morning.

Nah, I watched it in a normal mood and loved it.

News for you kid: just because you are depressed and aren't like most "normies" you aren't special or have inherently better taste

And you can be a normie and love Barry Lyndon

He killed himself in the end out of honor or because he wanted his wife's son to live since his sons were all dead anyway?

muh guineas!!

Did Barry expect the guy to not shoot him again after he forfeits his shot or what

It's hard but equally as great. Bullingdon is such a little bitch. It's fitting that the one good thing Barry does in the film is what completes his downfall.

In the novel because it's narrated from Barry's point of view. In the film because it's narrated as if it were a history book with a nationalist bias.

recommend me some similiar kino pls

And you guys wonder why you’re alone

...

Such a stupid fucking system, what were they thinking.

I really like Clockwork. Seen it many times.
It's such an interesting story and universe.
But im not a huge fan of Eyes Wide Shut. It was a bit too slow and cryptic for me. It wasnt BAD though. I also thought Kidmann was annoying with her slow speak shit.
But from what ive just said.
Do you think i would like Barry Lyndon?

There's nothing like The Barry Lyndon, really. In terms of aesthetics perhaps Tess could be of your liking. In terms of themes I think The Remains of the Day shares some similar ideas but they are conveyed in a very different way and from a very different perspective.

Help me.
Funny, i just saw they added it on Netflix right now. Now im really thinking about watching it.

>But im not a huge fan of Eyes Wide Shut
That's because the editing wasn't finished. Kubrick planned to cut around 20 minutes but died before he could do it. The studio had to release his latest working cut because there was a clause in Kubrick's contract that only he could edit the film.

These are incorrect since this Sup Forums list says the best Kubrick films are:

2001
Barry Lyndon
Dr. Strangelove
Full Metal Jacket

You could say the way the film is presented leaves you misled at times, such as the way Barry believes his duel with the army captain went.
I think they also tend to cite the opening scene with his fathers duel, doubting it's accuracy (for whatever reason)

Well maybe but the point is he gave him option which was honorable and could have led to the event concluding as per the rules.

Really? Interesting.
Makes sense to me. Feel like there is a bunch that could be left out.

Closest I've found was the recent BBC adaptation of War and Peace. Kinda surprising that there weren't a bunch of niggers in it considering it was current year BBC.

Was kubrick a communist?
