	Barry Lyndon
		An underappreciated masterpiece, Barry Lyndon is a film about one man's (perhaps Everyman's) struggle to attain for himself and his heirs a station of security in life, to become the master of his fate, the captain of his soul....
		But Redmond Barry (known, for a time, by the title of Barry Lyndon) is consistently thwarted in the pursuit of his goal for the simple reason that he has been written into existence by William Makepeace Thackeray and framed by Stanley Kubrick: Barry is a prisoner of mise-en-scene, trapped in a work of art.
		Barry, who was so moved by the aesthetic splendor of the Chevalier's appearance, here displays a kind of aesthetic style and grace that, even without an officially recognized title, is the mark of a gentleman.

	Barry Lyndon
		Barry Lyndon rende tale tematica il cuore stesso della lunga narrazione delle gesta di Redmond Barry, riprese dal romanzo di Thackeray, The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon (1844), il cui tono sarcastico e tagliente ben si sposa con la fredda scrittura filmica kubrickiana.
		Il futuro Barry Lyndon amera' raccontare una versione edulcorata ed eroica, insomma completamente inventata, di queste sue esperienze militari, all'amato figlio Bryan; in tale manipolazione per fanciulli K allude alle falsificazioni di tante vicende militari contenute in testi retorici e pseudostorici, volti sempicemente a propagandare un'ideologia e i suoi eroi-martiri.
		Barry entra nella cerchia degli aristocratici giocando sul desiderio sessuale di lady Lindon, sposata a un uomo anziano e bloccato su una sedia a rotelle.

	DVD Review - Barry Lyndon
		A satire of 18th century, as well as contemporary, society, ’Barry Lyndon’ is the story of a rogue who wants to be considered a better man only to find to his dismay that the so-called upper crust are in fact more accomplished crooks and liars than he could ever hope to be.
		’Barry Lyndon’ is rarely mentioned in the same breath as the director’s best-known films but it is a masterpiece in its own right and acts as a reminder of the great range in subject matter that Stanley Kubrick tackled in his lifetime of work.
		For as visually-stunning a film as ’Barry Lyndon’ a meticulous transfer is a must and this one is quite good although the lack of anamorphic enhancement is bothersome.

	Barry Lyndon
		The character of Barry Lyndon was loosely based on Andrew Robertson Stoney, a real-life Irish rake who married and abused a wealthy widow.
		Among the locations used were Castle Howard in England (exteriors of the Lyndon estate), Dublin Castle in Ireland (the Chevaliers’ home) and Frederick the Great's administration buildings at Potsdam near Berlin.
		Barry Lyndon endures as a cutting-edge movie that brings a historical period to vivid screen life like no other film before or since.

	W. M. Thackeray's The Luck of Barry Lyndon (1844)
		The finest brief analysis of the book is Robert A. Colby's "Barry Lyndon and the Irish Hero." Although the actual writing began in Paris, in June, 1844, Thackeray was in Ireland, presumably hunting for material for The Luck of Barry Lyndon, a satire of then-popular "Irish" novels.
		Thackeray's roguish Redmond Barry is patently an imitation of Henry Fielding's picaresque hero Jonathan Wild, although unlike his eighteenth-century progenitor he is not a professional criminal.
		Although Barry believes himself to have been in youth both a man of courage and of genius, he was outwitted by those who are not particularly clever (including his first love, Nora Brady; the intriguing Countess Ida; and even his wife, Lady Lyndon).

	The Kubrick Site: Barry Lyndon Reconsidered
		Barry confesses the entire plot, a surprising gesture which the film's narrator explains as the result of homesickness because the Chevalier is another Irishman; and "the splendor of his appearance [and] the nobility of his manner," adds the narrator, impress the would-be spy.
		Barry tries to answer a nexus of elusive needs by grasping at the accouterments of elegance and power, but he cannot escape into that lavishness because gain and prestige are not what he wants.
		Barry Lyndon is a masterpiece of a director whose films are all extraordinary; it marks a new conception of the art of film.

	DVD Review - Barry Lyndon (all versions)
		Barry (played by Ryan O'Neal) starts the film a mere boy, who is in love with his cousin.
		Over time, Barry takes advantage of a number of unlikely twists of fate, and his uncanny ability to lie, cheat and steal his way out of difficult situations, and eventually climbs into the higher levels of English society.
		Raymond Barry is brooding, crafty, and much of what he does is down right despicable - taking advantage of even those who would love him to make himself more comfortable in life.

	Barry Lyndon (1975)
		Barry Lyndon (Ryan O'Neal) is born of good, solid Irish stock with only the twin disadvantages that his father was killed in a duel and that they're not a wealthy family.
		With no money, and no friends, Barry is forced to join the English army (fairly ironic considering that he just killed one of their officers) and take his chances in the European wars.
		Given that Barry is central to the movie this is perhaps a regrettable casting choice, although the remaining characters are fine.

	The Kubrick Site: Kubrick's Anti-Reading of Barry Lyndon
		Barry is an adaptable creature in the film: she loses "her brogue" with the passage of time, and only takes to applying "her rogue" after coming to live among the painted English.
		There is nothing so ridiculous about Kubrick's Lady Lyndon, a reserve and mournful character who keeps her misery barely hidden beneath an air of exhausted elegance, in the novel, she gratifies Barry's cruelty with tearful entreaties for kindness; in the film, she is as enigmatic as her husband, and as fully misunderstood.
		Barry Lyndon is a stage Irishman, given to the exaggeration that :is a practice not unusual with his nation" (52), as the novel's "editor" points out in a footnote.

		An underappreciated masterpiece, "Barry Lyndon" is a film about one man's (or, Everyman's) struggle to attain for himself and his heirs a station of security in life, to become the master of his fate, the captain of his soul....
		Barry's attempts to master his fate and behave -- or at least appear to behave -- like a gentleman are quite touching in the light of his inevitable (after the Part II title) failure.
		Barry, who was so moved by the aesthetic splendor of the Chevalier's appearance, here displays a kind of aesthetic style and grace that, even without an officially recognized title, is the mark of a gentleman.

		Barry goes to battle as Grogan is badly wounded as Barry tries to save him as Grogan gives him some final advice before he dies as Barry now desires to leave the army.
		Barry falls into grief while Lady Lyndon, who had gained some brief moment of joy, falls into a fragile, suicidal state as she returns to her lifeless world as just being a lady in display early on.
		The main intention for Barry to duel with Quin was over the love of Barry's cousin Nora, which he foolishly is fighting for and she has no care for him at that point.

	Barry Lyndon
		Barry Lyndon can be seen as a careful delineation of a dynamic that frustrates all historical pursuits: Our longing to know the past and define its wisdom is confined by the modern expectations we bring to the task of looking back.
		Barry (as the narrator calls him throughout) thinks of himself as a gentleman; but after his father dies in a duel, mother and son are only by the kindness of his uncle (himself close to bankruptcy) able to maintain the status of gentlefolk.
		Barry marries Lady Lyndon, fathers a son on her and, as her new tyrant, confines her to nursery and domestic duties, devoting himself to pleasures of the flesh, stooping to infidelity even with his wife’s maids.

	Movie Review of BARRY LYNDON only at RuthlessReviews.Com
		But it would be unjust to underestimate Barry Lyndon; dismissing it as a stale period piece or high-minded attempt to redefine the costume epic.
		In Barry Lyndon, Redmond Barry (Ryan O'Neal) is, in his own way, a spirited gentleman with his own sense of self, but such individuality is used for nefarious purposes -- to seduce a wealthy widow and, without demonstrating one iota of genuine affection, strip her of wealth and dignity.
		Barry Lyndon is a film set during the tumultuous years immediately preceding the French Revolution, and it is interesting to note that one of the film's final images is of Lady Lyndon dating a ledger with the exact year 1789.

	dOc DVD Review: Barry Lyndon (1975)
		Barry Lyndon is one of Stanley Kubrick's best films, as well of one of his most misunderstood.
		Barry Lyndon tells the tale of Redmond Barry (Ryan O'Neal), an Irish boy who falls in love with his cousin, Nora Brady (Gay Hamilton), but she plans on marrying Captain Quin (Leonard Rossiter).
		And the scene in which Barry apologizes to her for her misdeeds, the look on her face, again, is powerful and telling and worth more than twenty pages of dialogue.

	Synoptique - Vox ex machinas: : Rethinking the Narrator in BARRY LYNDON
		Barry’s narrative voice in the novel is one that is full of obvious lies and bragging, with Thackeray’s imaginary editor, George Fitz-Boodle, intervening at several junctures to drive home the point of Barry’s dishonesty.
		Lyndon maltreated his lady in every possible way; that he denied her society, bullied her into signing away her property, spent it in gambling and taverns, was openly unfaithful to her; and, when she complained, threatened to remove her children from her.
		The Luck of Barry Lyndon is a satirical version of the picaresque, a genre of fiction that came into high popularity, along with the novel, in the eighteenth century.

	Barry Lyndon: New Stanley Kubrick Collection (1975)
		Lyndon seemed to be a virtual cipher, a fairly dull-witted guy with few obvious talents who got by on his good looks.
		Marisa Berenson's Lady Lyndon elicited sympathy, but that sentiment seemed tinged with pity, as even she failed to provoke a positive reaction; she appeared like such a fool to have joined with Barry that I didn't feel terribly bad for her plight.
		That wasn’t the case for Lyndon, as I felt the speech appeared fairly natural and vivid; the lines weren’t quite as distinct as they’d be for a more modern film, but given the movie’s vintage, I was very impressed by their warmth.

		Barry är till en början ambitiös och i sin naivitet någorlunda sympatisk.
		Som berättaren formulerar det: "Lady Lyndon was soon destined to occupy a place in Barry’s life, not very much more important than the elegant carpets and pictures, which would form the pleasant background of his existence".
		Som när Barry ser sin styvson Lord Bullingdon offentligt håna honom, eller när Barrys mor avskedar den lojale prästen och revisorn Samuel Runt.

		So maybe "Barry Lyndon" wasn't a blockbuster, but for sheer beauty, technical mastery, and brilliant use of musical scoring, there are few films that can match it.

		I söndags var jag till sist och såg Kubricks Barry Lyndon.
		Vad jag hört om Barry Lyndon är tre saker.
		Det stämmer bra det. Citat Kubrick: “Det behövs inga överraskningar i Barry Lyndon.” Lite liknar det Frank Herberts berättarstil i Dune, där man gärna får veta handlingen i förväg och läsaren/tittaren hamnar i en mycket tydlig åskådarroll.
