My opinion about the movie Barry Lyndon

"Kubrick, but what have you done? What is this? Is it cinema, is it painting, is it literature, is it classical music? Well, it can only be defined in two ways: 'Barry Lyndon,' and pure art.

I've never seen a movie like this before. I don't care that it stars Ryan O'Neal, who I admit is not a great actor (although I think he brings a perfect sense of fragility to Redmond here), I think this is one of the greatest films in the history of cinema, much better than 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', which defeated it at the Oscars.

The cinematography is perfect, really. With the lenses that NASA provided to Kubrick, he achieved images of a sharpness and naturalness of light still unmatched.

Of the soundtrack, well, what can we say with the classics that form it, only that they are conjugated with the image to perfection.

You've done it again, Kubrick; although, on second thought, when haven't you ever done it?

It's certainly not a film for everyone, due to its length (about 180 minutes) and its classic story, but if you like good cinema you can't miss it.

Maybe you will end up crying with any scene, not of sorrow, but of emotion, of happiness for the work you are contemplating."

Barry Lyndon is an adaptation of a novel by English writer William Tackeray.

I remember seeing Barry Lyndon when I was a kid when it was released. Man, that is a long time ago. It is an interesting film, very artistic in nature, but as a kid I found it a bit dull, which is odd as I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey around the same time. Maybe I'll have to give it another run and see if my view of it has changed.

A truly exquisite film. When I first saw it, I was fascinated because the audivosiaul treatment seemed to resemble Renaissance paintings (the photography, the lights, the music). Really incredible, one of my favorites.
