>against all odds, climb in status from a lowly irish commoner to the husband of a wealthy english noblewoman>immediately cheat on her and use her credit cards to rack up a shit ton of debtwhat the fuck was he thinking?
It's the story of a man without a plan just going where the winds (and his penis) takes him
>>220475004He would have been better off just marrying his hot cousin from the beginning of the movie. I mean he won the duel he should have gotten her fair and square
>>220475233I loved the part when he groped his cousin's titties all sexually in the opening scene and the movie is still PG
>>220475004>>against all odds, climb in status from a lowly irish commoner to the husband of a wealthy english noblewomanhe was hustling>>immediately cheat on her and use her credit cards to rack up a shit ton of debthe was still hustling
>>220475004women cannot into legacy, men cannot into raising another man's cream pie.
it was in his nature
>>220475004>immediately cheat on her Men are pigs>use her credit cards to rack up a shit ton of debtHe wanted to impress noblemen so he could become one of them, but his plan goes to waste when he beats his stepson's ass in front of everyone.Also what's the deal with the gay scenes in the movie, like the naked officers swimming together and Barry kissing his uncle on the mouth? Those were weird.
>>220475004a part of you wishes you could be that based
>>220475004By that point he was jaded and cynical. His only goal was to get ahead any means necessary. What ever naivete he had in the beginning was completely gone.
>>220475004>mogs Redmond Barry effortlessly
>>220475403The officers being gay was just a plot gag to give him a 'wtf? ok...' moment of coincidental benefit to allow him to continue on his journey. Him kissing his uncle wasn't actually gay, they were just not as weird on petty displays of affection back then when it clearly didn't go anywhere beyond a 'kiss of death.' or w/e. How did you not understand all of that already? Are you brown?
>>220475004>what the fuck was he thinking?"WHISKY AND POTATOES!! ALL OF THEM!!"
>>220475004Man... I remember watching this old ass movie because you fags recommended it. I was literally on the edge of my seat during the final due.Great rec lads.
>>220475403There's nothing gay about any of that, times were just different and people didn't see gay around every corner. Historically ignorant shit like this are the reason every pop historian thinks Charles Sumner was gay. You could tell other men you loved them back then and be physically affectionate and no one cared.
>>220475403The uncle who is bleeding to death on the battlefield asking for a kiss before he dies is very melodramatic in that upper class romantic way and fits perfectly with the zeitgeist of those times.

Who would win in a duel?Barry Lyndon or Plunkett?
>>220475488
i love this lil nigga like you wouldn't believe
>>220475004You can't outrun your nature.
>>220475816I wonder what was the message behind this scene, Kubrick was not random, he very intentionally put this scene at the very beginning of Barry's journey for a reason
