A film i have heard of and have been recommended but put off over the years, but honestly so glad to of watched it actually due to a chatgpt suggestion where i put a list of books and films and asked for a recommendation based on those items.
anyway im just glossing, in this thread we can recommend other media that relates.
Withneil and I - is a classic and a favorite of mine as well as George Orwell’s writings.
all of kubrick is worth watching, my favorite is barry lyndon
That was the one film I didn’t like. Why do people like it so much? Are candle lit scenes enough to tolerate such a boring film about rich people?
no i honestly don’t really care that much about how technically impressive it is. the movie is like a tolstoy novella. sorry im high rn otherwise id elaborate
Yeah pretty much. I can’t stand Tolstoy either. Too much aristocracy.
couldn’t disagree more, I find it mesmerising
Barry Lyndon is to cinematography as the works of Ansel Adams are to landscape photography. On a technical level they’re both incredible. And they’re deeply boring.
i think it’s my favourite too most days. imo Kubrick is basically untouchable as far as American directors go
He also has a niche following among people into street photography, long before his directing career. He would wander streets and ask people to pose in various ways. He was directing his street photography!
mfin… cia had to get him
