	The Kubrick Site: Kubrick's Anti-Reading of Barry Lyndon
		Kubrick's Anti-Reading Of The Luck 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.
		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.

	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.

	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.

		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....
		Watching the wryly comic adventures of Barry Lyndon from a huge (one might even say cosmic) ironic distance, you begin to sense that Kubrick is both ennobling and immortalizing this fictional rascal through the very act of focusing his attention him on film.
		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.

	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 Luck of Barry Lyndon" was the first novel of William Makepeace Thackeray, Victorian writer, contemporary of Dickens and author of "Vanity Fair." It was first published in monthly installments in 1844 and is considered by critics as a work of great importance in the pattern of Thackeray's career and as a work of art.
		Most of the early part of "I3arry Lyndon" is set in Ireland and Kubrick found qualities of landscape untouched since the 18th century, as well as aspects of the natives (and their weather) that fitted Thackeray's realistic descriptions.
		The chapel at Longleat, seat of the Marquess of Bath, was used for the marriage of Barry to the Countess of Lyndon.

	Barry Lyndon (world in progress...)
		Maybe because I got Barry Lyndon mixed up with Tom Jones (which is now also on the to-see list because of John Varley's enthusiastic endorsement), or maybe because the DVD cover suggested a character who was a playful libertine.
		Instead, Barry Lyndon is a languid account of a man who by virtue of luck, superior fighting ability, a doeful look and no small measure of chutzpah rises in rank and position only to be undone after he obtains these goals.
		In Part I Barry is presented as almost a half-wit, who fumbles and bumbles his way through romance and the European Wars, always escaping serious misfortune, always latching onto someone with the means to help him advance.

	The Luck of Barry Lyndon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Luck of Barry Lyndon is a picaresque novel by William Makepeace Thackeray, first published in serial form 1844, about a member of the Irish gentry trying to become a member of the English aristocracy.
		Thackeray, who based the novel on the life and exploits of the Irish rakehell and fortunehunter Andrew Robinson Stoney, later reissued it under the title The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon.
		Unlike the film, the novel is narrated by Barry himself, who functions as a quintessentially unreliable narrator, perpetually boasting and not realizing the bad light in which he casts himself.

		Nor does he leave us altogether disgusted with him: if he is impudent, he is, at any rate, no coward, and he and his uncle the chevalier are the most companionable people in a society whose prevailing passion is cold selfishness.
		They are genuinely attached to each other: the old rascal is proud of the young one, and, while Barry himself richly deserved his fate, it is a relief to know that the chevalier, at last, was able to devote himself to the practice of piety in the Minorite convent at Brussels.
		While he quite convinces us that “if any woman deserved a strait-waistcoat, it was my Lady Lyndon,” his frank disclosure of his brutality to that vain and selfish woman and her son leaves him without excuse.

		When Stanley Kubrick landed in Ireland over two years ago to film the adventures of William Thackeray's Irish rascal, Barry Lyndon, he never guessed that his troublesome hero would be doing battle this Christmas in London and Dublin with "Jaws," the biggest money-maker of all time.
		Those early days on "Barry Lyndon'were indeed tough, but there was nobody big enough to call Kubrick "a son-of-a-bitch.'1 His behavior often seemed extravagant, even cruel, but such may be the prerogative of genius.
		Barry Lyn don's premature departure from his native shores had probably cost the country millions of pounds in all sorts of spin-offs, from an epic film production such as this.

		So (as I've written about "Barry Lyndon" previously) we already know what's going to happen to Barry by Intermission, even before we've seen the first frame of the movie proper.
		Barry's father was concerned with one form of codification of human behavior (the law), while Barry's enthusiasm runs largely toward another (gambling and wagering).
		"Barry Lyndon" is about the static, locked-down camera (and slow zoom) every bit as much as "The Shining" is about the tracking shot, the Steadicam movement that follows (or pushes, or pulls) the characters through the labyrinthine corridors of the Outlook Hotel (another elaborate, booby-trapped metaphor for Time and Space).

		But there was no Barry in the field against the usurper; on the contrary, my ancestor, Simon de Bary, came over with the first-named monarch, and married the daughter of the then King of Munster, whose sons in battle he pitilessly slew.
