Barry Lyndon (1975)

Barry Lyndon

1975 /185 mins.

This film is, without a doubt, the most beautiful thing on the face of the planet. This film was filmed with rear-projection cameras from the late '40s, which were fitted with lenses developed for NASA, thereby allowing scenes to be filmed in natural light. The result: a moving 18th Century painting titled Barry Lyndon. Ryan O'Neal plays Redmond Barry, a poor boy without "a guinea in the world." The film is, simply, a rakes progress story about this young man's life. His trials and tribulations with love, military, money, and raising a son. The beauty, pacing, and majesty of this film empower the viewer with a brilliance that no other film can compare with.

That's a link to the script for Barry Lyndon.  I found screenplays for all the movies on the Kubrick forum and will post them.  This one looks like the shooting script, which can differ quite a bit from a post-production script.  In post-production scripts, the screenplays are re-written to reflect what's onscreen after editing and so on.  I haven't looked too closely at this script (for Barry Lyndon), but it seems the narration is different.  Been a while since I've seen the movie, but in the film, the narration is told by another voice, in the third person.  In this play the narration is in the first person.  I bet there are lots of differences between this and the movie.  Should be an interesting read, if you're familiar with the movie.

This movie allows a person to see the type of system being set up as far as what "Title" will give the sub-elite in the New World Order.

The New World Order is not new at all. Barry Lyndon provides fr those that do not wish to read, a rare perspective of how much control royalty has over the day to day activities of the common man.

The absurdity of war, the master/slave relations inherent in a feudal society.

The deceptions, the class struggles inherent in the system and the absolute insanity of any semblance of a justice system that regards all men as being created equal.

I'm really enjoying this flick, i so hope it appears in HD cause the way it was shot in natural light, with sunlight, candlelight etc. is very appealing.
Also it gives a great insight into the leet of old europe, though i've yet to finish it.

Here's another wonderful movie you would enjoy for similar reasons: The Duelists, a film by Riddley Scott based on the novel by Joseph Conrad. Every shot is composed like a painting. Wonderful stuff. Also gives much historical flavour of Napoleon times.
