In the first half of the movie we saw Barry Lyndon as an opportunistic and rather a reckless young boy who was supposedly to be the hero and protagonist of the story. However, as the storey unfolds, he became more selfish and greedy, he cheated on his wife and became a womanizer and treated his stepson inappropriately. In the last third of the movie, viewers perceive his character more as the villain and antagonist. Therefore, Barry Lyndon’s character shifts throughout the movie.
Thank you for your ample comment on the film, Barry Lyndon!
This was the film I’ve always wanted to watch, yet I procrastinated watching it to the end due to being rather boring and too long. Yet, over the last week, I disciplined myself to watch it from start to end in one session, and that was worth watching. I really thought I was not watching a film, but reading a novel, especially because of the refined conversations and behaviors.
The theme of the film was also clearly and straightforwardly conveyed to me greatly facilitated by the narrator, unlike Earnest Hemingway’s objective point of view. The second half of the movie was more exciting and thrilling, particularly around the end, when the concept of karma was realized surprisingly.
