This shit sucked, you all lied to me>weird incest subplot that goes nowhere>boring armyslop runtime padding>character goes from level 100 social striver to full retard the instant he gets out of the army>movie spoils "he's gonna die poor, broke and lonely lmao" fourty agonizing minutes before the actual ending>there is no ending>narrator just says "lmao we lost track of him I suppose"100% pure Kubrick-slop
nah you're just a dumbass
>he doesn’t get that it’s a 18th century nature documentary
Just from your speech patterns I'm genuinely surprised someone recommended this to you. It was probably as a prank.
all are those things are why it's good
>>221786668This movie is fantastic. I was in love with it by the time he gets robbed leaving town. Beautiful cinematography and locations. Shane you didn't get it
>>221786668>>221786707The movie is aganizingly slow, but the final duel is literally electrifying OP i was on the edge of my creeky futon in my single bed appartment watching it.
>>221786668I have always said it was complete shit, but everyone dogpiles me when I say so.I have absolutely no clue what people see in it.>Meaningless meandering plot>Shit writing>Extremely awful "acting"Cool vistas and costumes, but what a fucking 2/10 movie
>>221786728He was probably just going through the list (I know I am)
>>221786668Barry Lyndon is just Kubrick playing god with his actors/toys. He wanted to make a convincing fake biopic movie. The randomness and the loose ends make sense in that way
>>221786976>All that capeshit in itBait list. /tv/ has better taste than this
>>221787063I'm new to /tv/, so I don't remember this place ever having great taste, but the capeshit certainly seems to check out considering how many capeshit threads I've seen do well on here.
>>221786668>t. bullingdon
>>221786668You have to be interested in the time period to enjoy it.
>>221786668>>221786930Prove your not a retard by describing Barry's third act predicament and how it relates to a major world event going on one continent away. I'll wait.
>>221787163The problem is capeshit used to be decent popcorn flicks, so they were accepted on here.But then, as with any medium that doesn't filter out trash, once capeslop began to be produced at an industrial scale the entire third world descended upon /tv/.Seriously, anyone who participates in a capeshit thread today has an 85% chance of being brown.
>>221787230I agree. I haven't even seen anything from marvel since Disney acquired it, and the last DC film I watched was the Robert Pattinson Batman and that one was so bad that I had to interpret it as a comedy to enjoy it.
>>221787314>so bad that I had to interpret it as a comedy to enjoy it.Batman/Robin is legitamately better. At least in that one Mr Freeze he freeze, Bane smash and Poison Ivy seduce.The villains werent themselves in Twilight Batman
>>221787211I'm still waiting. C'mon, faggots... don't tell me you had no idea what this movie was about?
>>221786976Adam Sandler truly is our generation's Laurence Olivier.
>>221787368Yeah, that was a pretty good flick.
>>221786668My favorite part of the movie is when his faggot stepson "wins" the duel but probably destroys his life anyway because he conducted himself during the duel first with incompetence, then as a coward, and finally with vindictive viciousness.So even though he was in the right and even though he won, no one who hears about how the duel went down will want to associate with him.
>>221787626That absolutely didn't happen. He assumes control of the estate and pays Barry to fuck off after he loses his leg. Fairly honorable resolution to Barry sparing his life and a sign that he's matured.
>>221786668>weird incest subplot that goes nowhereIt was meant to show the main character being a naive romantic in his early adulthood, compared to what he becomes later in the movie. There's nothing weird about it, cousins doing it wasn't uncommon in those days. >boring armyslop runtime paddingIt serves a crucial purpose in character development, it's set during a significant yet rarely covered period in media which is the 7 years war and all around looks cool. If you don't like the army part the movie def isn't for you. >character goes from level 100 social striver to full retard the instant he gets out of the armyHe doesn't. Did you miss the second act? He only becomes hubristic once he gets to the top of the social ladder. >there is no endingThe story comes full circle, what more do you want?
>>221786668I fell asleep watching it twice and had to finish it across 3 sessions but I also actively made a point to return to it and finish it over the course of a couple of days, which typically if a movie puts me to sleep I do not do. Overall I really liked it, though I'm a visuals first type of person and it's possibly the best looking movie ever. The scene of Barry when he's drunk and nodding off in his chair in that gambling house is possibly the greatest still image you can take from any film without exaggeration so I think the praise in that respect is well earned.
>>221787475>>221787211Isn't it because he funds some British regiment to fight the American revolutionaries when he's trying to cozy up and be named a Lord, and they obviously end up losing and that's part of how he goes into debt or something.
The flaw which prevents Barry Lyndon from becoming a true classic is the source material itself. Barry Lyndon was always a second rate novel which hardly anyone cared about until the movie was made. It's not on the same level as Henry Esmond, which is Thackeray's best work and the book which ought to have been adapted for the big screen.
>>221786668First Kubrick?
>>221788164nta but>FMJkino>Shiningkino>2001kino>strangelovekino>lyndonactual slop people only talk about because it's adjacent to the man shipping a conga line of kino.It's basically Kubrick's Jackie brown desu
Marrying your cousin wasn’t incest back then
>>221788211I don't care for any of it. 2001 is a little bit okay, and that Cat in the Hat clip with the Eyes Wide Shut chant made me kek way harder than I should've, but Kubrick can generally tongue my anus.
>>221786668It's slow and long but it's a masterpiece
>>221786728its weak bait where he slapped /tv/ catchphrases and buzzwords together
>>221787626Whatever reputation Redmond had with the nobility was shattered when he tackled Bullingdon in front of everyone. They never saw him as an equal and he made a spectacle of himself like the detectable Irish nobody he was
>>221786668there was an ending, it just wasn't a happy one. and in spite of him being a total piece of shit, it still manages to make you feel for him in the end. that's why it's a good movie.
Bullingdon was a faggot and was being influenced by that faggot priest who wanted to fuck his mom. Poor mom though. And barry's kid
>>221786668>character goes from level 100 social striver to full retard the instant he gets out of the armyJesus, zoomer… film starts with him murdering an english officer (he believes) to win a woman. has to run away. gets robbed of all his money and his horse very quickly on the road. lies to a prussian general who instantly figures him out, gets forced into brutal service. gosh did redman know how to play his cards!!!he was just very lucky to meet the chevalier which is where all his success came from.
BB B b B BBB BBUT LE HECKIN NASA CAMERA LENS!!!!!!!!
>>221787626Thats not at all what happened. He was a young man rebuilding his families honor and any nobleman would see it that way
>>221786976How far are you on the list
>>221790089At the challenge stage, yeah, and his obligation was fulfilled by showing up, negotiations falling through, and accepting the coin toss, he stood tall and on principle.After flubbing his first shot, begging for a second one against the rules, snivelling and puking, getting a mercy delope by Barry now that his obligations were fulfilled, then demanding another shot so he can shoot him down in cold blood anyways.He was within his right to do it, but it's still massive>I'm not giving up my seat for the pregnant woman, I sat down firstungrateful energy, and aristocrats loathe such types and would be sure to gossip about the perfidy they witnessed
>>221790149nta but
>>221786976Half the shit on that list sucks fucking dick and asshole. This has to be a troll pic
>>221790319Lmao, I watched Air Force One with my grandpa as a teen, seeing it on that list brings up memories as I never re-watched that one. My grandpa got serious kicks about how unrealistic a fist-fighting POTUS would be. "Get off my plane" was an uproar of laughter in the room. Good times
>>221790149I've seen 46 of them
>>221786668What're you talking about anon? this movie was hilarious, full of kino, and did you not know it was shot with era-accurate lighting? I couldn't stand the oversized torches & braziers in the Last Duel, but I digress. When it cuts to Lyndon in the crowd watching his cousin crush jiigging it up with Lord Chadbury I was in tears from laughterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29zrGHBrU4s
>>221790089It's absolutely what happened.>shot out of turnIncompetence.>showed fear and cringed when under the gunCowardice>when shown mercy via deloping by a notorious man, responded by shooting him, anyway (as was his right, granted)Viciousness.The cowardice alone would be reputation-destroying.
>>221786707defending Kubrick is a midwit hobby
>>221786714yeah i thought it was a gorgeous moviebut the acting is shitthe scenes are all fucking retarded and boring, with this nasty narrator fucking spoiling EVERY scene in the movie before it even happensso shit
