Stanley Kubrick's Masterpiece.🔝

The first part of course, made in the great great country of Ireland.

This is technically one of the most awe inspiring acts of camera work in movie history. Kubrick wanted to film these candlelit scenes by real candlelight alone, which at the time was technically impossible due to camera and film limitations. So Kubrick bought a unique low light camera lens from NASA that was specially designed for use by Apollo astronauts on the Moon. He then had a movie camera engineer completely rebuild a huge movie camera just to use this lens. Then to get max candle light, he had special candles made from highly volatile wax, and had the candles made with three wicks in each. That's why the candle flames are so large, and the candles are all so short. Each candle only lasted a few minutes, but the special camera and super bright candles got Kubrick his candlelit scenes. This is characteristic of the almost insane level of detail Kubrick made all his films. And THAT is genius..

They don't make films like this anymore :(

Lady Lyndon wanted nothing more than to love and be loved. Redmond Barry wanted nothing more than to tarry until he could cash and carry.

Is there any possibility that anyone born in the 1980's and afterwards could watch this movie without their peers thinking they're weird or a kid that rode the short bus to school? If you have the patience, watching this movie is a visual feast and you'd wish you were living a life as a spoiled aristocrat in the 1700's! Dangerous Liasons was unpleasant and had unpleasant leads! And Ryan O'Neal did seem like a strange choice, though. That opponent of his was Victor Maitland in Beverly Hills Cop

Misesian - We will never be perfect in this life. We will sin and fall short until we breath our last breath. The Flesh is always there to bring us down. That is why Salvation is not based on works but Faith.

the most beautifully shot film of all time. It's not even close.

look at that photography come on.., the best by far in history.

7:59 Can anyone transcribe that part of the speech to me, please? I'm producing the *dubbed version* in Brazilian Portuguese of this series, and I must complete some parts. Thank you in advance.

not even the two scarlett johanssons flanking that guy could bring him luck...

It was an interesting movie, where there did not seem to be a protagonist when I first saw it. But a rivalry between two, (Little, with something to prove, and Ben Cross's character, what's his name?), yet simultaneously, it was about a team effort (team England) to succeed. It was a movie about winning, but in an honest way. It is noteable because it was maybe the first movie to demonstrate to an audience how powerful, and integral to a movie, a soundtrack can be. A verse : Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. - 1 Cor 9 : 24, kjv.

No wonder this movie won soo many Oscars back when. Because back then, to Liberal Hollywood, a movie about "running on a Sunday", was about pushing the envelope and upsetting the status quo.

What is the song/melody being played here?

every scene a painting.

4 dislikes! How on gods earth could you not be inspired by this?

Watching this film i feel as though i am sitting in some hidden space looking back in time on the eighteenth century itself.Everything from the late evenings in candlelight to the gorgeous dress to every single spoken word...this film is an absolute masterpiece.

When I observe whats happening in the world I think of this .... in a world where we have so much but yet have so little.

2:06-2:45. 10^10.

Ooh fuck yeah. I need one of those Zeiss F/0.7 lenses so bad. Such amazing low light look on the film.

The Blu-Ray edition replaces the old, animated Warner Bros. logo at the beginning with a static, boring 21st-century version. Unforgivable.

- Very important explanation:Apocalyptic Language.

I am not quite sure why, but most of these "auteurs du cinema" seem unable to creat any connection whatsoever between the audience and the characters of the film. Instead of people acting to be other people they look more like aliens dressed as human beings. The Duelists although similar externally, and Scott claimed to wanting to immitate Barry Lyndon, is much more effective in instilling genuine interest for the heroes.

Every year when the Olympics come on, I would much rather watch this film. Strong, simple, not all of the modern flash. A sober reminder of life.

impressive, just for the composition of the quadro is amazing, a really genious.

Through everything, in the end she still loved Redmond. One of the most beautiful endings ever filmed and edited. The choice of score is perfect.

A movie about honor, love of God and country, the pursuit of excellence, and unwavering faith in one's principles-----I don't think a movie like this could be made today.....

RE: Narration - Barry Lyndon doesn't NEED a narrator but it creates a mind-fuck within the movie. A great deal of what the narrator says is a) what a shallow viewer might think and b) directly contradicted by the action. Read "Kubrick's anti-reading of Thackeray" by Michael Ciment.

About as accurate account as you can get of the times that it portrays, and beautifully filmed, yet it tells a depressing story about a loathsome bunch of people.

Jackie Chan would've massacred them in the sword fight

song name in the beginning?

Saper bramate, bella il mio nome Ecco ascoltate, ve lo dirò! Io son Lindoro, di basso stato nè alcun tesoro darvi potrò! Ma sempre fido ogni mattina a voi mie pene, cara Rosina, col cuor su' labbri vi canterò!

Great.

my Eagles r there just waiting sire!

I've always been fascinated by the inner workings and lifestyle of Europe's aristocracy around this period. this film pulls that curtain back somewhat

When it first came out, I was a teenager. I loved it so much that I watched it 7 times in the movies. Of course I own it in VHS.. Surely among my top 5 favorite movies ever!

so how dos all the evidence of the RFID chip, the supposed AntiChrist? and the end of days play out here?

My "running clothes" include a shirt with verse 31 on it.

Yeah, I too began to realize I probably misinterpreted the Gospels. I listen to the audio-Bible all the time, and I somehow believed that Jesus was talking to me when answering his apostles questions regarding the destruction of the temple and the end of the world. As if he ignores them, and starts prophesying to future generations.

THIS video clip DESCRIBES PERFECTLY what is happening in all the "political races" and elections in America and the rest of the world. *HOW GOD SEES IT ALL.* *CHRIST, HIS SON & THE MESSIAH, is THE ONLY Answer.*

My favourite movie. Love the story and gentle pace. Quite unique.

Best scene ever!

We need a movie like this again.

That low shot at the begining of the castle lighted from within at dusk as the music begins is gorgeous. similar to images in 'The Shining' and Herzog's 'Nosferatu' to come a couple years later.

How did they ever get this filmed with ZERO artificial lighting on the set? Just scores of candles---exactly as it would have been in the late 18th century. Especially for the film speeds and lenses available in the 1970's. Even today, interior nighttime scenes require at least some supplementary lighting.

2:54 Rembrandt would have been proud

I'm an athiest, but still see this speech as pretty awesome.

Saw this on TCM 2/8/ 2016 for the first time at age 52. Caught the last two hours I must by the DVD now and watch it all.

Why is the video cut short?

This is actually a very good movie.
