Barry Lyndon is better than 2001

You're a pleb, how does it feel?

>durr 2001 is so deep and profound bro
yikes

Kubrick literally ripped off a Godzilla sequel for 2001. BL all day.

It's a cinematic masterpiece in just about every aspect. If you're looking for something "deep and profound bro", read philosophy.

Start with the Greeks, or go to and start with the Greeks after that.

it isn't but it's still dope

look at the NASA lens they developed so they could shoot in candelight

Indeed. "Barry Lyndon is Kubrick's best" is the clearest pseud-marker in existence. His fumbling imitation of a painterly style and period-piece aesthetics, mastered by Griffith half a century earlier, is as dull as it is derivative.
Shooting on 'le special NASA stem lens' is always brought up as if it were some empirical evidence of genius. It isn't unique. David Lean had a lens specially made just for one shot in Lawrence. Hitchcock had to do extensive modifications to create the Vertigo effect without having a zoom lens. Welles was one of the first to utilize 18mm in Touch of Evil. Jacques Tourneur did amazing things with filters and Technicolor to mimic watercolor vistas in Way of a Gaucho. To say nothing of what Griffith accomplished with 1910s technology.

post a webm of that little faggot getting his ass beat

its cause of faggots expecting an big final battle with hundreds of troops and bombs going off like its We Were Soldiers or someshit.

Honestly the more I think about Clockwork Orange the more I love it. I think the more controversial scenes overshadow the more interesting stuff he did with that film

>3 shots that literally every filmmaker has done
u might as well take the last act from buster scruggs and put it on the 2nd one. Hell just grab snippets wherever

Not at all. It just didn't seem to have any direction to it. Also the only explanation I've heard on this board for why the final act is good is something along the lines of "Kubrick meant for it to be bad". It's not a terrible film but it's not great.

>"Kubrick meant for it to be bad"
wot. It's the best part.

noooooo shiiiiiittt thats literally the fucking point. These guys did patrols out and zippo raids. Get shot at one day and have nothing happen the next. literally no direction.

There's no fucking way that "bazooka" would blow up any part of a building without hitting a major gas pipe.

Welcome to Saigon, Private Davidson.

Pretty much everyone I’ve talked to hated Clockwork Orange the first time they saw it. Including me.

The first time I saw it was with my ex gf, her dad met her mom by dressing as Alex on Halloween and the movie had a special place in her heart. My experience was eye rolling, I couldn’t understand a word they said, it seemed edgy and like it missed the mark. Then I saw it a second time and it clicked, it’s now my favorite film of all time. Malcolm McDowell as Alex is such a powerful performance that he’s actually dangerous in his influence on viewers. His performance can be linked directly to copycat killers in London and indirectly to the mass shooting in Aurora, the Gamers Rise Up memes and more since Heath Ledger based his performance as the Joker on Malcolm McDowell’s portrayal of Alex. These events and a shitload more literally wouldn’t have happened without a Clockwork Orange.

The 1977 British film The Duellists is better than both the 1975 British-American film Barry Lyndon and 1968 British-American space epic 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Fagtron

Orange is amazing. It's like a film made by an alien. I still can't believe it exists. Pure cinematic bliss.

I agree with you. I think it’s Kubrick's best, but 2001 was more significant for cinema as a whole.

Those are pretty standard shots.

You are a gentile right?

FMJ is bad. After the island it goes full retard.

I won't, Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece and arguably the best period movie ever made. Also Kubrick's funniest movie right behind Dr. Strangelove.

I liked the war parts, too.

You mean like Vietnam?

you should probably ditch this image if you ever want to be taken seriously because your comment shows you have knowledge, I'm almost positive it's a meme image anyways making fun of people like you so the irony is hilarious

always an idiot lurking here

the more I see it the more I like the second half more, first half is such a meme I skip it sometimes halfway through training

>It’s boring as shit and fucking garbage
>Just like the real war so it’s good!

Making this argument should cause your fucking fingers to fall off.

>first half is such a meme
D'onofrio is great, and I just cant get tired of Ermey chewing the scenery.
It also informs the second half of the movie.

You have to be 18 to post here kid. Come back when you can form a coherent argument beyond autistic screeching.
The movie is farcical because the war was farcical. It's just slice of live vignettes about marines joker encountered.
Not to mention it's full of memorable and iconic scenes.

Ryan O’Neal just isn’t a good enough actor to carry the movie and Marisa Berenson is fucking atrocious. The most talented people involved in the movie get very little screen time.

Duellists > Lyndon

Yeah no shit. 2001 is his most surface level film. Barry Lyndon is tied with Eyes Wide Shut as his best.

>The movie is farcical because the war was farcical

>Movie about Hiroshima
>The movie gives you cancer because the bomb gave people cancer
>Best movie ever

nice blog post. btw you sound like an insane person.

What pills did you forget to take that you think anyone is going to take your retarded strawmen as anything other than the low effort b8?

Literally what the fuck do you faggots see in Barry Lyndon? It has painting like cinematography and visuals, that’s the exact end of where it exceeds. It’s very, very average in terms of story, below average in terms of the talent of the main cast, especially compared the goddamn thespians you can find in other period dramas, and the best scene of the movie is outdone as others have said, by the Duelists.

Nah. The first half of the film exceeds the second. To admit that the second half is a farce is simply embarrassing, to defend it by saying it’s a farce on purpose is no defense at all. It’s totally forgettable.

I even had someone claim that it’s forgettable on purpose just like the war. Just arguments from retards.

Imagine getting butthurt that a poster mentioned his girlfriend. Fucking kill yourself.

>It’s totally forgettable.
But you've been literally btfo on that argument multiple times.
Why are you so stupid bro?

Attached: fmj batting order.jpg (1280x720, 130K)

Are you illiterate? If you like the second half, fine. My entire point is that defending it by saying it’s bad on purpose is fucking stupid. It’s not that controversial of a notion, stupid fuck.

You mouth breathing mongoloid. You will never understand. The movie is about the emptiness of man. None of us truly feel or care about anything. If you say you do you are pretending. Barry is surrounded by remarkable events and leads an interesting life in every way but he just doesn’t give a shit. In the end he finally tries to even vaguely redeem himself and he is not allowed. He fails when he finally chooses to be a good person for once in his life because no one else cares, just like he didn’t care. Fuck you faggot. Literally fucking retarded. Just kill yourself.

> it’s bad on purpose
not them but nobody is arguing that. It isn't "bad on purpose" at all. They use more hand held shots and there's nothing really to accomplish other than killing the sniper that was killing them, because that's more of a reflection on what Vietnam was. This doesn't make it "bad on purpose" though.

>defending it by saying it’s bad on purpose is fucking stupid
Literally no one is arguing that though, besides the voices in your head.

Well obviously, 2001 is for the pretentious.

See

And please don’t reply to me anymore, you’re both simply too stupid to function properly. Like holy shit, fucking hang yourselves. Or learn to read.

Who gives a shit about those old ass homos

>The movie is about the emptiness of man. None of us truly feel or care about anything.

Does anybody in the world agree with you? Genuinely curious.

Yes

Damn nigger, the only person in those replies who said "dur itz bad on purpose" is the mongoloid who began strawmanning that argument in the first place.
Get the fuck out of here, I'm sure there's some thread desperate for your official power ranking of the MCU.

nigger you should kill yourself. 3 anons, one of which is clearly just you saying he "meant for it to be bad," isn't an argument. The lack of direction IS THE FUCKING POINT. They just go out, get shot at, shoot back for awhile, bunch of people die, and then they're singing the Mickey Mouse song. That is what Vietnam was. If you don't get that, that's your fucking autism. nobody is saying that makes it "bad on purpose" except for you you fucking turboautist.

>is the mongoloid who began strawmanning that argument in the first place.

And that’s what I was saying I hated hearing. I’m sorry, do you actually have down syndrome? I’ve heard these arguments in other threads and was expressing my annoyance at them. Grab a grip on reality. Nobody is trying to hurt you. Someone is simply pointing out arguments they don’t like.

Sorry bro. Full Metal Jacket is the single most famous example of a movie falling apart in the second half, no matter how you personally feel about it.

That’s not me you braindead fucking faggot holy shit

nope. It's as episodic in the second and third act as it is in the first. And it's a movie about absurdity and destruction and an industry to train people to go fight and die for literally no reason. That's the point. That's the point of life too. You spend the first part getting trained and driven mad by getting prepared to go out into a meaningless, uncaring world.

Doesn't mean it "falls apart" in the second and third act. it just means you're a fucking idiot.

what is the meaning of this picture? why did they move the paintings up higher on the wall?

That's just madness. Barry Lyndon is fantastic, but in artistic scope, cultural impact and technical impact it is insignificant to 2001. 2001 is superior to Barry Lyndon in every way. Barry Lyndon is maybe 3rd best in Kubrick's filmography.

Uh, it’s not really up for debate whether or not Full Metal Jacket is the poster child for bad second halves.

You can disagree all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that no other movie has a second half more famous for being bad.

The first half has Hartman. The second half has Animal Mother. sort yourself out, fren.

>more famous
According to who?

>Uh, it’s not really up for debate whether or not Full Metal Jacket is the poster child for bad second halves.
yeah you're 100% right. That's one of the best pleb-filters ever. The second and third acts are CONSIDERABLY better than the first. The first is just more popular and memeworthy bc the funny guy from History Channel says a bunch of funny quotes haha.
>You can disagree all you want
You're the one on the wrong side of history kiddo. If you can't actually defend your misguided reddit opinions that's your problem.

Shut it, queermo.

You know you love me

maybe

Why did you think Eyes Wide Shut was that bad?

because it was meaningless to me, I could not understand what the fuck Kubrick wanted to say
even after reading plot several times, listening to Zizek "review" of it, I cannot understand it. 3 hours of nothingness

based

Kubrick was a very spectacle based director, using grand set pieces as fuel for the emotion. The shock of learning about secret societies and sex cults has worn away over the years, as has the impact of Tom Cruise’s sexual frustration, like his fear of being cuckolded. I can see your point though.

All women are prostitutes, men only care about money and status, and all of this is derived from the human obsession with sex that no one, especially the elite, will admit to or say is natural. So we have invented all sorts of so called “society” and “civilization” to excuse our pursuit of the carnal act

well I guess it's just not my kind of movie. I still get emotions from scenes in clockwork orange although I've seen it like 10 times, like that one where Alex met his friends after jail, makes me smile and creates that feeling in chest not because I think he deserved it btw
eyes wide shut - nothing. waste. although one pretentious bitch I know claimed it's Kurbrick's best for w\e reason
