Barry Lyndon

Holy shit this is a masterpiece, the only thing I can kind of rag on it for is the punching sound effect. But I found that funny honestly. It is so stunning, some of these shots look like actual art. Some of the nature shots in the beginning and some of the ones in the house were just so good. This is as gorgeous as Space Oddessy in my opinion. It's a simple story about the rise and fall of a man in the 18th century and that's kinda it. He isn't all that smart either. He lucks into most of his success. It was interesting seeing his shitty actions always catching up with him. It felt like every bad thing he did was accounted for. He's also not unlikeable enough for me not to root for him either. This whole movie is so well written, the dialogue feels accurate for the time but also realistic. I honestly don't have much else to say, it's just peak. But the one thing I took away from this movie is to NEVER fw a broke nigga. Thank you Stanley Kubrick.
