>Barry Lyndon Stop with the lying, Kubrickians. There is hardly anything about this flick that looks like a painting. Only the fact that there are long shots with high headroom really. Anyways, it looks like any washed out 70s flick. 19th century paintings feature stark shadows in the frame to delineate foreground from midground to background and to create depth. Barry Lyndon is always flat and it's physiognomy is completely opposed to the 18th century paintings where individuals are relatively near. He's forcing a distance and dissimilar look from that of the time frame, the models are alien and sterile compared to the generally flowery presentation of 18th century paintings. These are paintings for people that have never been to an art gallery.
But even aside from the over hyping of the film's technical aspects, Barry Lyndon is worthless. It's incredibly banal and is more languid than it has any right to be. As Kael put it, it's a Bresson-ified 30s costume picture incapable of escaping its lowbrow picaresque entertainment roots (dissertations about fate et al.) Just like everything with Kubrick, it's calculated to appease the middle and lowbrow. To make them feel as if they are experiencing culture, as if they are "learning" something profound. This is peak cinematic art for people that have never seen more than 20 films from 1900-1938 tops.

letterboxd.com/gundenspand/ follow me of you like french movies I love french movies because I myself am from the glories nation of France. HAIL MACRON bonjour ;)
Why do people keep saying this? Post your account after you've gotten good taste and watched more kino, don't post now and apologize for it every time.
Caleb Gutierrez
who cares
Evan Brown
youre right very bad taste watch kino educate yourself then rise up
Could anyone else not get into Zulu? I thought all those disparaging remarks and actions against the Christian missionary in the first half of the movie were completely unnecessary. Would not watch again. I'd rather rewatch Master and Commander for Brit-centric war films
Michael Caine saves the early parts of it for me, it was only in the second half it really started gaining my attention. letterboxd.com/shao_liu_ringon/ I think I might need to start reading up on Gian Volante, I'm finding that he's so much more than just acting in those Leone westerns.

americans are the least qenuine people on earth and their whole nation lives inside a hollywood created dream like fake reality and every single american lives in this dream land, they cannot grasp ideas like being subtle, deep or ingenious. I realky don't think that americans will ever fully mature as human beings.
How can you say you understand film if you shit in the street like an animal :/
Nathan Hall
this but replace americans with women
Anthony Hill

James Bell

consume something else than films. i went like 6,5 months without watching a single film when i felt like i started to get bored.
Alita really was the incel contrarian film turd I expected it to be. Complete shit edgy trannies (as opposed to regular marxist tranny in lbg) like to "dab on" Captin Marvel.
