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
mfin… cia had to get him
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!
