That Bullingdon did nothing wrong

That it's a kino film that women will never understand.

actual op here, I can confirm that it is indeed kino. I think this is my favourite Kubrick film(And I really like Kubrick).

Brian was the rightful heir, fuck that english cunt bullingdon

When engaging in a duel finish the fucking job.

Brian? It's Barry, you uncultured swine. I'm betting you're a pasty flat-assed paddy like Redmond? Don't answer that, I already know you are

Brian was Barry's son. And by Heaven I shall tell you I'm a good blooded Irishman not an english weasel

>man brags about the shape of his arse

The absolute state of England.

You think that the visual splendour of the film is undercut by its poor audio design, especially the sound of the musketry in the brief battle sequences. That such an attention to detail was paid to everything else but that is baffling.

Barry could have BTFO the bullingdon at the dual but he didn't because we Irish have some humanity for english weasels

op here, this perhaps was the most beautiful shot film I've seen but its true that there were some distracting sounds effects particularly during the boxing match(Barry against the british solider) where there were comical sound effects used for the punches. The soundtrack was quite nice in it however

Probably the best Kubrick movie. Awesome soundtrack.

btw am I the only one who thinks the reverend might have had a part in Brian's death, his story that he was sleeping didn't seem convincing to me

ikr, I'm kinda annoyed this didn't get more praise while everyone loves full metal jacket

But Barry Lyndon is like Sup Forums's favorite movie...

Madam, I have borne as long as mortal could endure the ill-treatment of the insolent Irish
upstart, whom you have taken into your bed. It is not only the lowness of his birth, and the general brutality of his manners which disgusts me, but the shameful nature of his conduct towards your ladyship, his brutal and ungentleman like behavior, his open infidelity, his habits of extravagance, intoxication, his shameless robberies and swindling of my property and yours. It is these insults to you which shock and annoy me more than the ruffian's infamous conduct to myself. I would have stood by your ladyship, as I promised, but you seem to have taken latterly your husband's part; and, as I cannot personally chastise this low-bred ruffian, who, to our shame be it spoken, is the husband of my mother, and as I cannot bear to witness his treatment of you, and loathe his horrible society as if it were the plague, I am determined to quit my native country, at least during his detested life, or during my own.

you'd rather be known as a cuckold than a fool

I don't go on Sup Forums much, I was talking about in normieland where everyone is "wow I'm a big Kubrick fan especially the one with the sergeant making funny jokes and yelling at the soldiers"

It's a masterpiece

Kubrick is still producing perfect frame even after death. A true visionary

i wanted to see more of this guy

"I have not received satisfaction."
>mfw

this, that kid was a dick

Whats your guys take on the ending? I will probably have to watch another time to fully get it

also what do you think of this

Do you think Barry redeemed himself after he fired the gun at the ground?

I randomly stumbled accross screenshots of this movie while looking for historical clothing reference and thought I'd watch it because at the very least it had pretty screenshots. After getting part way through I started thinking this movie is pretty well made for a movie nobody's ever heard of, the writing was good and the direction was good too

>imdb's Barry Lyndon
>directed by Stanley Kubrick

welp

The Chad Lyndon v the Virgin Bullingdon.

It was a step in the right direction. It was 50/50 but his wife's son was too butthurt from all the spanking.

Nice gesture but he had it coming.

He grew up to be abit of a poofter but I had a lot of respect for him when he as a kid gave his mother the skinny on what a whore she was, Barry being filth and not spitting on his fathers memory. I was disappointed he turned out as a effete weirdo as he have been this young principaled foil to the aging rebel Barry

Also the bit at the start with the English commander prancing around his cousin really cracked me up. Was pleasantly surprised at how very funny the film could be.

>Virgin Bullingdon.
>Calls out all of Barry's indiscretions
>Basically calls his own Mother a stupid fuck for marrying him
>Mocks the Irish and compares them to the plague
>All this in front of a room of people

I'd say that was pretty alpha

>forgetting what a shaky beta he was during the duel.

the movie was a metaphor for how the Irish are loveable chads while the english are buthurt bitches

The fucker was convinced he was going to die. He'd had no experience of duels prior to that final fight with barry. Can hardly blame him

The Chad Lyndon
>cucked Bullingdon Sr
>Always the first one to jump into the enemy fort
>beat a man twice his size in a fight
Didn't he also fuck that Prussian woman in the village when he went AWOL?

That AND stole the heart of Mrs. Lyndon JUST by gazing

Would you rather be thought a cuckold or a fool, Sup Forums?

All those points only serve to prove what a mindless oaf Barry was. Quinn was the true hero

Fool is the lesser insult by far, how is that even a question m8.

>*Has a heart attack*

he was an english faggot

Not according to Charles

THE FEELS

I'll ask it again but does anyone else think that the reverend had a hand in Brian's death? His story that he was 'sleeping' seemed suspicious and Barry's mother seemed to imply something when she sent him away

do you think barry ever found his peace? or did he just wander through the wastelands of europe forever?

That you may be on your way to becoming a Sup Forums patrician if you like it.

The main character is Barry, a man from the 1750s Ireland, an alpha (that's debatable, but he surely acts more alpha more than the other two movie protagonists).
Barry was born in a poor family, and luck/chance plays a central role in his life as indicated by the source novel. Barry in his adolescence fell in love with Nora, his cousin; she taunts and provokes him sexually and he develops a oneitis for her, as this is his first love so Barry is absolutely Blue Pill even risking to die because of her in confrontation with an alpha. This alpha male from the military approaches Nora to marry her with his higher SMV and DHV, as he proposes a dowry/a financial provision to their family; Barry opposes them, and obviously all of the family males go against him because of social conformity, no matter how Barry is deep in love (way more than she is, is she?). Barry and the military alpha set a pistol duel to clear the matter, yet he is betrayed by the Blue Pill men in his family and the marriage actually happens: thus, the military guy going into what society expects of him in a provider role.

like I give a shit about having the same taste as you guys. If I like the movie I liked it if I didn't I didn't. I thought the movie was great but theres a bunch of movies on that list I don't like

Barry is then forced to move away from this hometown and family, leaving his widowed mother behind in a poor condition; as a misfortune as usually happens with betas who can’t defend themselves, Barry loses his horse and possessions to thieves while fleeing to Dublin. With a poor social positioning and inexistent wealth, Barry signs up for the military (which is of course admired by the women, as an example of the ultimate sacrifice, to die for someone else); there, he becomes AMOG between the soldiers. He expected the money and the DHV being military, which happens as time goes by but in a way slower speed than he expected, to the point he gives up the military after a long story of transitions between armies. Yet, in one scene in particular and through the attraction of his uniform, he by chance ends meeting a young German girl by the poor countryside: he asks her about food and he is accepted into her house. They talk about being lonely, and while Barry seduces her she even ends up neglecting her child. She was left alone with this child by a soldier. Comes a moment where Barry gets back to his journey to Holland, and they promise love to each other; whereas the narrator informs us of many and many military lovers she already had in the past, by this very road.

Barry had previously deserted from the English army, and now is suspected of being a spy. He is offered to join the Prussian army, and accepts, or else he would be shot. After participating in the wars Barry is now a Prussian police agent, and spies on Chevalier de Balibari, also an Irishman. Barry reveals the truth to the Chevalier, which made his fortune as a professional gambler, and he decides to educate Barry on this as a work; with the gambling, comes DHV through improved social status and learning of seduction (overall, Barry is now fully Red Pill). Then, back to England Barry meets by luck an interesting couple, a woman in her prime beauty before hitting the wall, who is married to an older crippled man who is about to die. This couple, the Countess of Lyndon and Sir Charles Lyndon, the later which dies soon after.
In the second act of the film, Barry seduces as an alpha and marries the Countess, acquiring now the famous last name of Lyndon. Into Barry’s rationalizing and calculated moves for the marriage, it was included what he would gain for it: the wealth, the property (a castle!), and the beautiful woman. What he forgot to consider in the calculus was the child (a Lord already) she had with the old man, and a Reverend who served and a non-sexual orbiter and general emotional tampon for her. Although now his vision is Red Pillish than before, he ignored these red flags.

Just the day after marriage, Barry completely changes his behavior with the Contess, now treating her badly. They have a child biologically from Barry, in addition to the child from Sir Charles. In the birthday parties of Barry’s biological son, we now see Barry’s mother living in wealth in the Lyndon’s property. A sage advice is given by his mother (why the perception came from a female and not Barry himself, a male?), regarding status and resources that Barry should be looking for, since he is still penniless himself. Barry then tries to win nobility titles, still penniless but using the old man resources, to get another DHV. It could be argued that the high society events and buffets and etcetera could benefit the feminine imperative, and with all the bridezilla stuff and the mating dance as seen on the garden scenes; on the contrary, what is usually called the patriarchy by the feminists is also displayed on most of the film, and Barry is seen constantly cheating his actual wife. The male and female privilege could be analyzed, too.
His wife is distancing more and more from him and she is becoming mentally ill, while Barry’s mother perceives the Reverend as a negative orbiter for their marriage. Those red flags start biting Barry’s back, such as the son (Lord), who grew up too attached to his mother and now creates problems for the couple, although admitting the Lord was correct about the false love from Barry which allowed the marriage. Misfortunes start to happen to Barry and negative factors such as no credit (DLV) take place, until his decline as an alpha and the final ultimatum for the film. In ends in 1789, with Barry poor once again and without descendants, like patriarchy gone unlucky.

>like I give a shit about having the same taste as you guys.
>what did I think of it?

Sounds like you do.

I just wanted to discuss the film

>Whats your guys take on the ending? I will probably have to watch another time to fully get it

you'll notice that the ending is a lot like the scene with this guy that happens right before the intermission.

the narrator reading the cuck's obituary as we see him gasping with the sound of the narrator's voice slowly fading out, and the narrator saying that there's no record of barry when he went back to europe as we watch barry have to be helped into the carriage, are both the same idea of a guy suffering total humiliation before getting shuffled to the margins of his own story. it goes beyond 'character death' and is more like the idea of total erasure, of being forgotten and irrelevant as time passes, hence "It was in the reign of George III that the aforesaid personages lived and quarreled; good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, they are all equal now."

I was more curious as to the future of lady Lyndon

Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's most stylistically precise movie. Every scene is so clear cut and clean in form and utility.

Lady Lyndon is but a pawn in Barry's game. She is depersonalized(without her last name) and has a moody disposition. Go figure

One of my favorite movies of all time, the scenery, the shots, the lighting and color, the characters, everything about it. Barry's personality and the characters throughout the movie he interacts with, super fantastic.

I watched part 1 and never went back. It was just so uninteresting and slow paced, I don't know. That coming from someone who loves 2001.
Sell me on it anons.

As a Japanese imageboard poster, I am both

Oh that sudden cut to the baby coffin killed me
