What was his problem?
He wanted to fuck his cousin.
He couldn't accept good fortune. He fucks up in life, luckily finds a way out of it and then instantly ruins it only to be given yet another miraculous chance of restoring his prospects.
>>222501574He was told to walk in a straight line with a bunch of guys towards the enemy, and knew it was retarded.
>>222501726To be fair, she led him on and was pretty fucking hot, for an Irish broad.>>222501797Based. He was a good lad.
>>222501574>What was his problem?the narrator of the film hates him, which is god btw
>>222501726Yeah but if you live in an Irish hamlet as a struggling nobleman and the only other genteel woman is your cousin then that's pretty normal.
He was a Chud
>>222501797It's not retarded it's how America was annihilated when they tried to invade Canada. Americans fought like those unorganized african tribes who run back and forth and shoot arrows at each other, but with guns, and when Britain sent over some 3rd rate leftovers from the Napoleonic wars they were utterly devastated by line tactics. And most of them deserted the battle instead of face the line.
>>222501726island people should get a pass for cousin fucking just like desert people, and mountain people, and jungle people, and forest people
>>222501574He wasn’t a very good actor.
>>222501574This is Kubrick capturing mid white guy entitlement so perfectly it remains relevant to this day.
>>222503038I demand satisfaction!
>be completely average white man>come from rich family>still have nothing despite having all the opportunities>do nothing but lust after your cousin (kek)>try to kill some guy because he was marrying her>well to do uncle bails him out like always>runs off from duty as soon as uncle dies>spend the next 15 years scamming everyone he can>scams his way into wealth by leeching off a vulnerable woman>STILL keeps scamming and fucking up until losing everything>dies alone with nothingThis movie is the chud speedrun
>>222503184>has a spoiled loser son that would post on 4chan if it existed back then
>>222502905America failed in its invasion of Canada because at the time it barely had an army and was reliant on militias, who rightfully decided that invading Canada was retarded and wouldn't help them at all regardless of what the faggot politicians said. If you're some farmer from Pennsylvania then why would you want to get yourself killed fighting to conquer Canada? It turns out home defense forces are mainly good at defending their homes, which is why the war ended in a white peace.
>>222503184Barry was exceptional at dueling, and he was quite brave. He wasn't average in those regards.
He lost all dignity when he ran away from Herr von Potzdorfs job offer.
>>222503038>entitlementuhh it will be seen that their life, for all its splendour, was not without danger and difficulty...requiring talent and determination for success. And required them to live a wandering and disconnected life. Is this the entitlement everyone talks about?
>>222503471He created most of the danger in his life by being a dishonorable scammer and risking his own well being to get out of duty or cheat his way into places. He could have stayed home on the farmstead and tried to save his family's estate. The cousin was marrying a rich guy who would have supported them.He could have stayed in the army after his uncle bailed him out and earned a higher rank. As a noble, even if disenfranchised, he would have had an easy time getting out of the front lines.But he was a lazy fag with no talent who just wanted to take the easy, dishonest way every single time.
