Barry Lyndon - Movie trailer from Kubrick`s Film

Most underrated film in movie history.

Kubrick's unknown masterpiece.

The greatest film of the Kubrick archive...

The guy talking over the movie scenes completely ruins it for me.

I love this movie. And I didn't realize it until the end where I found myself missing it.

For all who don't understand, watch again. For kissing a man: (paraphrase) ''Kiss me my lad for we shall never meet again''. He lost the only man who cared about him and loved him. 3 moments for tears: death of Grogan, confession to chevalier and death of a son. Sincere, emotional, hearthbreaking Kubrick's work. Touch of a master.

The story of a parvenu. A very ambitious man with poor origins wants to climb into high society y and get accepted, and he pays a price. A class-conscius world dominated by the importance of money and social position. Today Barry Lyndon would be an unscrupulous executive of Lehman Brothers.

There is a background theme/lesson in each of Kubrick's films. The theme in Barry Lyndon is one ot lust and greed, the desire to achieve a place in high society where one does not belong and the consequences that await. A story of jealousy and envy and the misfortunes that might await an underserving social climber. AND...a damned good story if you just stay awake. The Oscar winning cinematography should keep you riveted to the screen anyway. One of my very favorite films of all time.

@Tammy166 thanks. i watched it lately. the thing is this movie is strange. i nearly didn't understand anything out of it.

His character was neither gay nor bisexual.

The kiss was to express a platonic love; the kind of love that one has for one's friends.

Yes, it's easy for us to exclaim, "But I would never kiss my friends!"

But, remember one thing: Today's society and culture are very different from those of the past.

@frenchfries56789 But wht was that?

was his Character gay or bisexual ?

can anybody explain this movie to me please? I just watched it and it was really good but I couldn't figure it out on my first viewing.
