Loved Barry Lyndon! So many gorgeous shots and sets. The story was interesting and engaging as well. My wife loves books that take place in that time period, so she was entranced. I would definitely echo the recommendations given here! The candlelight scenes were pretty amazing.

Also, I remember a goon telling a story about how she used to nude model for Christina Kubrick at their house and how Stanley walked by one time and saw her naked

Most of the way through Spartacus right now- those fire logs look like they'd be very dangerous to do

George C. Scott is hilarious in Dr. Strangelove. He was pissed off at Kubrick for using takes where he was more exaggerated instead of more natural. His face when the President is telling the Russian Premier to shoot down the plane is perfect. (efb  )

So maybe he was right.

Barry Lyndon is unlike any other movie I've seen. It has its misses, I suppose, but it's still a great movie.

Kubrick spent years after making 2001: A Space Odyssey researching and preparing for the Napoleon film. Then the Italian-French-Russian co-production Waterloo was a bomb. So, Kubrick decided to adapt A Clockwork Orange instead when no one wanted to back it. A Clockwork Orange only cost $2 million (2001 cost $10 million in 1968 money), shot within 6 months, almost entirely shot on location with basic light kits or practical lighting, and was released only 10 months after shooting was completed.

Well, literally just this minute finished Barry Lyndon. Whilst not my favourite Kubrick film, it left me wanting more and it's cinematography is just something else. Astonishingly pretty film from start to finish, acting was incredible, the plot was solid and the characters memorable. But yeah, that cinematography... If anything the film mirrors the renaissance art that features so heavily in many of the scene's backgrounds; a hugely rich and breathtakingly beautiful film.

drguildo posted:Not really. Words are always chosen, it's just a question of why. Goofs by definition are unintentional. Nah. I'm telling you a 'professional' poet is sitting there thinking about all the imagery and symbolism (among other things) called to mind by one word versus another and they think about it way harder that someone just writing a news article is thinking about their word choice. Of course words are always chosen but again dude lol these people are considered geniuses in their craft for a reason and it's not because they happened to make a series of goofs more coincidental than anyone else.

Sp1r0_Agn3W posted:the famous example of this is the newer jewish criticism of shylock in the merchant of venice. i can say with some serious certainty that shakespeare did not give one poo poo about jewish causes. i dont put a lot of stock in death of the author but thats a solid example of it Okay but no one can even say with serious certainty Shakespeare was a real person and not a conglomerate of a few different authors so that's kind of a special case imo. Sp1r0_Agn3W posted:this doesnt have much to do with kubrick but as an english degree haver (lol) i can say with certainty that most words in novels or other long-form works are not that specific. Sure, long form isn't that specific but again dude kinda lol if you think authors aren't doing a few drafts of their work and changing details all the time. It's not like they just poo poo something out and go 'looks good' and coincidentally it happens to be an amazing literary work. Sitting there going 'Kubrick is lauded for his technical genius and the way it affects the narrative/content of the work, I bet it was all just coincidence haha' is kinda silly that's all I'm saying. Dude had people using tape measures on the streets of NYC; I'm pretty sure he was aware of the camera angles when filming. Obv he's only human and I'm sure there are some unintentional goofs but the root of this conversation was the inner geometry of the Overlook not making sense and I'm pretty sure that was intentional.

rear end cobra posted:2001 still has the best and coolest effects of all time Part of why it looks so good is because everything was done in camera. Instead of optical printers that cause a generation loss. It's actually common for traditional animation, but hugely tome consuming for live action. This means some shots had to go through the camera a dozen times. Imagine loving up one.
