Chapotraphouse Movie Mindset - Barry Lyndon (www.youtube.com)

Greetings Minders, Will here, and to kick off this season, I wanted to do another one-movie episode with Felix like we did last year with CASINO, and I knew I wanted it to be another movie that has cast a long shadow over both my personal mind palace and the chapo extended universe. I wanted it to be another movie that I could easily count as both “my favorite movie of all time” as well as argue that it is “the best movie of all time” and I wanted it to be a movie Felix had never seen. And there is only one film that fits that bill, Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece BARRY LYNDON.

Travel back to the 18th century, take ten paces, cock your pistols, aim, fire and witness the rise and fall of an Irish asshole. Good or bad, handsome or ugly, rich or poor, we will all be equal soon.

Every now and then I force myself to sit through the entirety of Barry Lyndon just to purge my brain of netflix lighting. Only Lawrence of Arabia uses natural and candle light as beautifully. Barry Lyndon manages to make every scene an oil painting. It adds so much character to the film that most modern films completely flatten.

Have you read up on the wild shit Kubrick's cinematographers and lighting directors had to do?
