| Discussion: Barry Lyndon Love the way this is filmed. How it looks like period paintings. Awww... Goes on a bit though. >>By Tchock Kubrick's films are unique (from other contemporary films and each other) and respect the material. Hence a film of Thackeray's thick novel which tells the character's complete life indeed follows all of it. Reminds one of my childhood days of Intermission (especially David Lean films), revived by "JFK" and Branagh's "Hamlet" (any other recent ones?). In depicting the period Kubrick did mimic paintings and for authenticity lit some scenes only by candle. >>By Georgian Revival Best "époque" film ever. >>By Meliadus Many of the interiors were shot at the stately home near which I currently live, & yes, it's true that some of Kubrick's less conventional ideas for lighting came close to badly damaging some of the rooms. >>By nonyeb I like the look of the movie. As someone said, it looks like a painting. Something picturesque that seems to be on the screen...nature seems stronger than the human characters. >>By MaVe_RicK In the final duel between Lord Bullington, could the whole thing have been set up? Bullington's pistol was (or both were) rigged to misfire (just like how Barry's contained toe vs Captain Quinn). Perhaps Barry bribed the rulemen. This could be another possibility of why he fired into the ground (he hoped Bullington would call it evens, just like when Quinn offered to do so if he took the bag of money and apologise). >>By ftad You are not logged in.
