eSports Chaebol posted:he made TWO movies based on books that were better than the books which is insane, The Shining (some people might disagree) and A Clockwork Orange (anyone who disagrees is a goddamn moron) Absolutely agree. The Shining film removed all of King's worst psychic ghost poo poo and made the story even more haunting. Clockwork Orange's novel ends on a really stupid, almost idealistic note, so I'm glad the film still ends on the precipice that chaos is still in the cards. Echoing the praise for Barry Lyndon, probably the most underrated of the bigger-budget Kubrick movies. The story is fantastic, I love it to death.

Of course the 2nd half of the movie isn't going to be as enjoyable or consistent. without even getting esoteric about stuff like Order and Chaos, but saying the same thing, the first half is Joker being trained to deal with situations you can't be trained to deal with

My favorites are Eyes Wide Shut, 2001, and The Shining. I just ordered Barry Lyndon based on the recommendations here. I'll be watching it for the first time this weekend!

I did not know that. I'm very excited! I'll be watching on a 60 inch plasma. Not as good as the big screen, but I think it'll do it justice. Did anyone else see The Revenant? Some of my favorite recent cinematography. I believe the entire film was shot with natural light, and it's absolutely gorgeous. There Will Be Blood is also one of my absolute favorite films, and shot wonderfully.

The Shining is maybe the only movie that has just tenaciously clung to my subconscious so effectively. I have to watch it at least once a year to get it out of my system. It is just sublime. One of my favorite parts about The Shining is how the Overlook Hotel is spacially impossible. When Danny rides his bike around the upper balcony area of the Colorado Lounge he passes hotel room doors that cannot possibly lead anywhere, as the hypothetical rooms would be inside the upper space of the lounge. When Jack goes into the red bathroom with Delbert Grady, the turns they make through the antechambers to the main bathroom would place the bathroom right where the bar is in the Gold Room. Also in the Colorado Lounge, there is a hallway that is impossibly placed behind the large windows that face the outside, and you see a few people walk down it when the family is getting the tour at the beginning of the film. Also the "impossible window" in the manager's office which could not possibly be facing outside. There are numerous other examples too. All of it done intentionally to subliminally disorient the viewer. Absolutely masterful.

I liked the movie way more than the novel, but feel that the hedge animals would have been great to see. As they were in the novel they were okay, but I have a feeling Kubrick would have done very creepy things with them. In case you haven't read it, there are a bunch of hedge animals at the Overlook that move when you don't look at them. A rabbit could be 50' away facing another direction, but if you glace away then return to it, it will have moved towards you. A bunch of these chase Danny and I think one of them catches him and the thorns start to bleed him before something makes them stop.

So psyched for all the people watching Barry Lyndon for the first time. Please report back, all of you. I watch it every year on/near my birthday. It's entrancing, just like a living painting. And so funny.

All I said was that the cinematography was gorgeous. The natural lighting and filming techniques were amazing. There were problems with the movie otherwise, yes. The talk about the NASA lens used to film in candlelight made me think of it.

Pro tip: Don't buy the DVDs of Kubrick's films. Buy the Blu-Rays. Most look spectacular. The difference is gigantic, especially since Barry Lyndon wasn't even 16x9 enhanced on its remastered DVD. Another difference is this: All of the films have either lossless (DTS-HD MA) or uncompressed (PCM) audio tracks, even the monaural ones. You're talking about better-than-CD quality audio. Spartacus even has a 7.1 remix of the original 70mm 6-track mix.

it sucks that he liked mono so much, thankfully his stuff is usually pretty clear between voices and music. unlike say batman where all kinds of whizbang noises are going on.

They used the crazy NASA camera for the candle lit scenes (there are many), and common techniques for the rest, carefully crafted to look like natural light. And it won an Oscar for it.
