Holy shit you guys actually did Barry Lyndon, congratulations on your first Kubrick film! I watch this one almost annually, it just makes you go through so much emotion and its absoluly stunning. An absolute masterpiece.
Barry Lyndon, is the most beautiful film of all time. A moving oil painting, it touches me the exact way all great art does, on a gut level, with literal goose flesh..
The accountant in this film is also Alex's father in A Clockwork Orange and Delbert Grady in The Shining, so I guess that makes him the actor to appear in the most Kubrick films
He's tied with Joe Turkel who was in The Killing, Paths of Glory, and The Shining.
One of the best movies to depict the change from young naive romantic to world weary cynicism. Fabulous. So fellas, could this be the beginning of a Kubrick binge?
I certainly hope so, i vote Eyes Wide Shut next.
Those two go together well. Both about wealth, power and money. All his films have similar themes really no matter how different.
I'm not sure that I agree that he descends into cynicism. My interpretation is that he struggles to maintain his romanticism and principles despite his circumstances. At every point he is faced with the dilemma of standing by what he feels to be right and what is most practical. In the end I think he comes out as being more romantic than cynical. Think of the ending - he fires off target as well to give his stepson a chance. If that is not the most gentlemanly romantic thing you can possibly do I don't know what is.
I agree. Perhaps more a journey from innocence to experience. The contrast between his passionate first love and his calculated later marriage. Something died in him after that and maybe he wanted to die in the duel.
kinda like in Full Metal Jacket. Joker really Isn't a very likeable character. he's a lot like Redmond.
Amazing review Justine was fantastic! Gratz on 7k subs guys!
Kubrick is my favourite director. Seen all his films countless times apart from Barry Lydon.
Watched it today. Loved it.
Didn't think I would aswell.
This is one of my all time favorite films, a similar film in look and style which is equally often overlooked and also ironically by another much celebrated director is The Duellists by Ridley Scott :)
Scott seemed to parallel Kubrick. Gladiator was his Spartacus. Duellists was his Barry Lyndon. ALIEN was his 2001, etc...
Yeah, I went a long time avoiding this movie, a few years ago I decided to check it out and it is now probably my favorite Kubrick film. I want to watch it right now in fact.
Holy shit, y'all. That was intense. Thanks for reviewing it because I don't know if I could have made it through on my own (I'm allergic to heavy emotions).
One things for sure - I'm gonna cuddle my kids extra tight tonight.
And no fucking horses!!
Evar!!!!
Watching Barry Lyndon in the cinema is pure cinematic heaven.
Your review really did a first rate job of helping me get a better understanding of the inner working of this excellent movie. I loved it when it first came out but I wasn't quite sure why, other than the fact that Marissa Berenson's beauty just blew me away. I was wondering if you were ever going to mention the fact that all the lighting was 100% natural or candlelight, but you finally did.
Great review! You guys should review Stanley Kubrick's last film, the erotic drama "Eyes Wide Shut (1999)". I don't think it's talked about much these days but it looks on par with his best films, like the visuals, intense colors, costume design, and cinematography.
Definitely guilty of dismissing this one based purely on the fact it's a dress period type drama. Of all Kubricks movies, this is the only one I've never watched. Time to correct that, and find out what I was missing!
Lord, what a brilliant, enchanting film this is. each small part is so vivid and each actor gives such a wonderful moment.... wow.
What a coincidence! I have been wanting to see this film for years and a couple of weeks ago I finally sat down for 3 hours and enjoyed every minute of it. Just days later I notice your new epic hour long review of it, talk about timing!
This is probably the greatest film ever made. It has everything. It moves me every time I see it.
Pantaleon Pizzaparte My second favourite film of all time, only Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo beats it. Wonderful cinematic achievement.
Well.......... not everything and definitely not the "greatest". Good movie though
I'm definitely just going to start deciding on my favorite corners of paintings now. Just because you said that lol
Barry, although an ass, redeems himself by not firing back.
Wow. The funeral scene with the small casket is heartbreaking.
that shot goes on for awhile too! almost the entire eulogy, amazing directing and acting in just one shot
everything about this masterpiece is perfect. just the best film ever made.
For another really great and off the beaten path period drama I recommend The Four Feathers with Heath Ledger. It's a great film and wholly unappreciated.
Pantaleon Pizzaparte so good!
I love all the characters in this film, you feel equally for each one. Moving experience. My second favourite film of all time.
Yes! I really love the casting choice of Patrick Magee and Murray Melvin!
What is your favourite? :)
I watched it when I was in my 18th century rabbit hole. Saw the marching British Grenadier song scene. It is so good.
His whole character journey is beaten down so badly, the only way is up and be sympathetic to him. By the last act, he is such a douche that you still feel bad for him yet hate him for what he’s become.
Great video, great review and great movie! I would just disagree at the end. Lady Lyndon is sitting with her son handling their ruined finances. She see's Barry's name and is reminded of old times. She reminisces for a few seconds before Lord Bullington catches her gaze. She snaps out of her fantasy and goes back to the paperwork.
Great to see this. I didn't even know the film existed. As it happens that's the case with most of your videos. Great review! Reminded me of Rob Roy -- that'd be a good one to assess as well.
NASA didn't design the lens "for" Kubrick, they already had it. He had a Mitchell BNC camera specially modified to use it though.
Every frame of this movie could be put in a museum. My experience with this movie is that I never liked Redman. He was a whiny, self-involved shithead. That being said, I never fail to see too much of myself in him. To me, this movie is a love letter to 18th and 19th century painting, from a passionate, adoring and stunning genius.
Best movie ever. Thanks for reviewing it.
It's a beautiful spiritual epic, historical, adventure, war, romance, comedy and tragedy film.
I hope that we see a movie together one day, off the shelf reviews!
Awesome review guys
great review , Kubrick is my favorite director , I saw this movie many times and it's one of his greatest work imo , visually speaking is gorgeous every frame is like a painting that you can hang up in your wall it stands by its own without dialog , is not my fav kubrick film but from a visual point of view is his best work , the main actor Ryan O'Neal is also extremely good
Well done guys! Really happy you guys brought justine on! The female perspective is so important to consider with this film. Im actually a huge kubrick fan but Ive never heard of this film. Cant wait to check it out!
great job as always guys. Seems like a lot of famous directors start out with a period piece.
I really enjoy watching your reviews and I'd really like to know your professional (yes, professional) oppinion on Ralph Bakshi's "The Lord of the Rings" (1977).
As much as I love this movie just wish Kubrick made his Napoleon movie. Would of been a masterpiece
Captain Feeney, at your service!
YEAH!!!!!!!! Yet another Wednesday saved!!
This film looks fantastic I'll definitely watch it. Great review!
Love your opinion on Dr Strangelove.
A great review, Thank You!
; D
My ex went through menopause and I still endured period dramas every month.
YES! His best movie in my opinion!
I'm glad I saw the film before seeing this - so many unannounced spoilers!
Masterpiece film. I'm now reading the book.
Nice Fox Hound shirt!
Great review, I had to study Thackeray for my my History degree (the rise of the novel etc). Always found Kubricks film a little tough to unpack though. Thought Justine was ace, good to add a bit class and intelligence to the show! ;) Best wishes.
I agree. This was my first video by you guys and you are all good, but was sad to see Justine was not a regular on the show. Bring her back for sure! adds another dimension.
2001 - Barry - The Shining
Not promoting incest, in the least, but wasn't it common, in the days of old?
I believe, even Charles Darwin, married a cousin, am I wrong?
; D
All true. They had 10 kids ! ( sadly, 3 died early.)
d3nv1 Thank You, for answering my question. I really appreciate it!

Still fairly popular really, just not in Western/first world cultures.
The heel of clay of this movie it's the pace for me, I prefer very much more The duellists, a review you should do.
Please messieurs, do another Kubrick movie. Merci
Please don't compare Kubrick to Tarantino, there is no better director that has ever lived than Kubrick...
Cool review!
It's really interesting to compare this movie to the novel. It is a true Kubrick adaptation, it's not straightforward it's a deep interpretation. Difficult book to read but worth it.
It's not too difficult. And recommended!
Almost every scene is a painting!
Kubrick based many of his scenes of both landscapes and portraits on period paintings by Joshua Reynolds.
Ah yes my fave Kubrick film
BTW GUYS A NEW CHUCKY FLIM OUT CALLED CULT OF CHUCKY AND A REMAKE IT THE CLOW N FLIM
Never seen this film before
Don't know if you have ever seen it or not, but i recommend The Duellists by Ridley Scott. It has a similar look and style to this film and is also often overlooked :)
My first video of you guys. Loved it. 33:02 Too funny!
You guys are certainly having an eclectic taste in films lately, what next? Jonathon Livingstone Seagull? Jesus of Nazerath? The Magic Roundabout?
Notice that none of the characters in the film look very happy. They are figures depressed by a society that values heightened civility and fleeting romanticism, when in fact we are still very much apes at our core vying for survival.
2001: A Space Odyssey explored technological advancement. Barry Lyndon explores sociological advancement.
Redmond at the beginning is a clever, resourceful fellow with a fire in his belly for social mobility. This requires him to adapt and overcome by being a scoundrel. He marries the beautiful heiress and procreates with her. So once he achieves the vaunted social advancement, Redmond then becomes sloth and given to degenerate gambling catastrophically in financial debt. Being a scoundrel was his ticket to aristocracy, but also his personal downfall. In the end, that is all he was.
Being Moonwatcher’s homo sapien forebear, Redmond Barry’s means of advancement was stymied when it became more about personal growth within a given social constraint than a quest for the survival of his clan group (family). This is merely one trade off of living in a highly advanced civilization.
All hail the King of Film!
What's happened to your Alien Resurrection review? I was halfway through it and now it's vanished.
Copyright issues. Its in the process of being re edited and re uploaded :) - Iain
Oh OK thanks for the reply. I hope you're able to sort it out. Keep up the good work. :)
Hi Guys, loved the review. Any chance of reviewing "The Duelists" by Ridley Scott ? It's awesome and similar in tone to this movie.
The best movie ever made.
Great film
7k subs!
One of those films I've had on a watch list year ages. like you said it didn't see appealing.
good choice of movie guys
thats not barry being whipped
*turn up*
Great vid as always, though throughout the entire thing I couldn't help but think how much of a pain in the ass getting dressed & undressed must have been back then.
Go the Irish
yuh
Don’t have her on again, lads. God almighty.
Watched this for the first time last year. After, I couldn't think of a better period piece, except maybe "Amadeus." Maybe.
I agree 100% with both films, another classic which is often overlooked is The Duellists by Ridley Scott, if you haven't seen it you are in for a treat :)
