Barry Lyndon - Seduction Scene

[realfreakaynaughtay]

Might be my favorite scene of all time. Electric chemistry.

[cobrien1977]

OMG her look from 2:31-2:35 is NUCLEAR - would turn me into a mumbling, stuttering, scared little boy

[junkman19571]

another paddy on the make...

[nexus040670]

The only movie where light is natural. This scene is oly illuminated by the candles. A fantastic piece of art.

[SpymarkStudio]

Stanley we miss you

[achantus1]

A masterpiece! What more can I say?

[ElTuco84]

This is more epic than Avatar.

[gialloflack]

unbelievably stunning and grossly underrated at the time, and to some extent, today. this is also one of my favorite scenes in the film: the timing and reactions are right on the money. The lighting is one of the best examples of the use the modified lens specifically created for this kind of realism. NO ONE to this day has been able to recreate this atmosphere that hold so true to he color schemes and compositions of the art of that period.

[achantus1]

As far as I can remember, the Sarabande is originally from one of Handel' suites for Harpsichord.

[Scott89119]

I love how the man in black knows exactly what's going on. Very nice touch.

[CaptainPommby]

Kubrick's da fuggin man!

[groomercab]

Mesmeric film.once seen never forgotten.confirmation on the opening music score please anyone?

[Justen1980]

this is higher pitched than other videos, is this something Kubrick does a lot. I've also noticed in Full Metal Jacket, the song at the end (pain it black) is sped up/ higher pitch than the original album recording.

[MondoBeno]

Kubrick based the scenes on the drawings by William Hogarth. He had special lenses designed so he could shoot in candle light.

[tigerarmyrule]

Kubrick reminds me of Visconti. Nothing happens but everything does.

[dredgedup]

This scene was filmed with all natural lighting with an old camera lense with a very wide aperture. Leave it to Kubrick to take on an added challenge such as that.

[e4alex]

@dredgedup I read somewhere that apertures got down to f/0.7 < it is not a typo.

[Clinton0707]

Such an underrated movie, and yet arguably one of Kubrick's best.

[RodsAndAxes]

My favourite scene from Kubrick's magnum opus.

[roccoprch1]

Besides "Lolita", my most favorite movie by Kubrick. Great work on this short film!

[FernandoTorrera]

I love the soft lighting style it makes the scene more intiment and give a feel for the night. Not something i see in modern films

[DGrieux]

@FernandoTorrera

That's a good point. It's very unlikely that you'll see this lighting style any more. The candle scenes were lit only by candles! They used a modified Carl Zeiss lens, an exotic ultra fast 50mm lens with f 0.7 (!!!) attached to a Kollmorgen adaptor with the shutter blades removed, and mounted on a non-reflexed Mitchell BNC camera.

It was Kubrick's objective, incredible as it may seem, to shoot candle-lit scenes in old English castles using the light of the candles themselves.

[FernandoTorrera]

@DGrieux yes today its all about high definition but sometimes the hazy glow of candle light is needed for mystery. Leonardo da vinci only painted in this hazy mysterious tequnice which is why the Mona Lisa is so alluring amongst other things.

[Aorticax]

A truly beautiful scene.

[silenceseaandsky]

simply beyond words

[dave997]

dont break that eye contact son

[Hibryd7]

That's a powerful epilogue.

[JasonBecker01]

[coupleofelbows]

i like most of kubrick's films. this one was good but kinda long.

for me, eyes wide shut was my least favorite

[MsEgleee]

Very nice...

[IWantDaveKast]

This scene had no artificial lighting.

[soccom8341576]

Imagine if this scene really happened in the first scene.

[Colt2571]

filmed entirely in candle light...not one artificial movie light in the entire film was used

[soccom8341576]

@Colt2571 how was that done?

[Colt2571]

Well Kubrick talked to NASA cause they has this special lens that could film stars in the complete blackness of space, so they either let him use it, or had another one made for him...there's a rumor that in exchange, they had him film the fake moon landing, but not sure about that, lol

[soccom8341576]

@Colt2571 And I guess Kubrick could possibly see that as a great deal?

[Colt2571]

he was a perfectionist

[soccom8341576]

@Colt2571 yes, perfect for the perfect hoax, if it was a hoax.

[hathcocked]

Kubrick bought an extremely rare and expensive Zeiss 50mm, f/0.7 lens then had it modified to work with his Mitchell BNC.

[Colt2571]

it was NASA's lens

[marmencal]

This is one of the most sensual scenes I have ever seen on a motion picture.

[rbatty90210]

was blessed with the opportunity to meet and ask Ryan O'Neal about this scene. He said the direction he received from Kubrick was to "be afraid" of her. Masterfully shot, acted, scored, costumed, lit, et al.... A typical Kubrick masterpiece.

[soccom8341576]

@rbatty90210 Wow, I can definitely see that deep shyness in him.

[StabbyMcButterPants]

I believe that he shot many of the scenes using a 50mm lens. The reason was to flatten out the images, (hardly any lens distortions) just like a painting, as only a 50mm lens could do.

[StabbyMcButterPants]

Kubrik had two movie cameras special machined with lenses (made originally for NASA) that had a ridiculously low exposure, still unheard of today in order to shoot this movie in natural candle light. He also used these same cameras in Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrik was genius. :)

[jaysmic24]

such a visual feast for the eyes.. one of my favorites of kubrick's

[AugustusAurelianus]

This scene is simply indescribably wonderful! I love it more that I could possibly express

[DisneyGuy1946]

The whole film is like a moving painting from beginning to end.

Stanley Kubrick was one of those rare directors that never made a bad movie.

[andyfortruth]

@DisneyGuy1946 sorry dysney babe but eyes wide shut had his name on it, perhaps it could have been his last and greatest but alas it was not

[jpoux27]

@andyfortruth Its because you didnt understand eyes wide shut,

[coralarch]

@jpoux27 I'd be interested in your interpretation of Eyes Wide Shut- I thought the whole thing was perhaps only his dream, fuelled by jealous suspicion. I loved the "orgy scene"!!!

[itsfakebytheway]

this made me ejaculate

[roachy333]

possibly the greatest non-verbal scene ever...the 'eye's have it'....i like to compare this with the scene at the end when Lady Lyndon casts her eyes over Barry's 'annuity'.

sublime.

[dave997]

they dont make movies like this anymore

[CosmicApe2]

My favorite scene. Most people might dismiss it and say that nothing is happening, but it's very charged.

[lisaannejane2]

@CosmicApe2 I totally agree with you. I love everything about this scene, from the candle light to the hair, make-up, clothes and the slower pace. It is totally charged with passion between those two.

[FaultYesteryear]

my favourite scene

[MovieClipUploads]

Shot in candlelight using a very fast lens.

[milofucker]

he shot with 0.7

to this day the fastest is 0.9

[ediblepet]

awesome scene thanks for uploading but i wish you had just put the scene without the beginning/end credits

[iancurtis86]

The film is English. Films' nationality is not given by the director, but by the production. Check Wikipedia, IMDB, etc. All you see is: UK.

By the way, Ryan O'Neal portrays an Irish character, not English (that goes for Saxonfield).

[bunnywailer14]

To bestofthenumber I can't say for a sure but this may be a british film technically speaking because Stanley Kubrick made a lot of his movies in Europe so that he could work outside of Hollywood, financial reasons, etc.

[milofucker]

achually, he did'nt move out of england for the last 30 years of his life and not for finacial reasons.

[bunnywailer14]

Beautiful perfect movie

[warpfield98]

the opening theme is surely also found in Gladiator

[andr0it]

actually it's closer to A Clockwork Orange.

[saxonfield]

There was quite a violent scene where Barry Lyndon gives his step son a beating.

P.S: Ryan O'Neal is American and this is an English Film. I wonder if the director asked him to do an english accent for the film?

[FA8T]

The character is Irish not English.

[ColonelRoss111]

great performances.  love Murray Melvin, the reverend runt

[hathubin]

Good expressions!!!, look for moore emotion.

Excuse my english!.

[countvonfersen]

Sarabande - G.F. Handel

[Sonate64]

[Sonate64]

Well... maybe you were talking about the first song

[countvonfersen]
