Such a beatiful film, every frame is like a painting!

Narrator: ....and there is no doubt that he would have made an eminent figure in his profession.

*BANG*

Narrator: Had he not been killed in a duel.

Kubrick sees the world as a chess game; with humans scampering from one side of the board (birth) to the other (death) trying to win (wealth, self actualization) a prize that is short lived, until the next game starts. Once one realizes this vision, this interpretation of humanity, it becomes clear that Barry Lyndon may be the director’s best work at examining the human struggle.

Kubrick's most daring film (and that's saying ALOT) because it asks something almost unthinkable (especially today): for the viewer to submerge him/herself in a filmic experience that is an exploration of the pure aesthetics of imagery. What director today would dare make a film about a film being beautiful? No studio would hand over the cash!

It's either 2001: A Space Odyssey or Barry Lyndon as my absolute favorite Kubrick film. But I can't help it, these movies are just so near and dear to me.
