Chevalier de Balibary? ....we had another Irishman in Chile with a rather similar name: the Baron of Ballinary, who later in his life accomplished the outstanting position of Governor of the General Captaincy of Chile and later, most astonishingly, the highest claim on the empire, Viceroy of Perú. He left a bastard son with a noble woman of Chillán, Chile, whom he only in the dusk of his life managed to recognise, Bernardo. He, the son, fought to get Chile independent and succeded. The Baron of Ballinary only saw once his son in the flesh. The Wild Geese history.
I dont know what it about this scene. I've watched it many times and it touches me deeply. I find the encounter between two Irishmen to be profound in me. It touches something in my heritage more than I can express.
Natural light, understood. But as in many films by Ridley Scott, beautiful, too beautiful. Better break up with blood, sweat, and mud. Caton-Jones' Rob Roy?
The chevalier looks so very Irish, really, it’s hard for me to think that he could come from anywhere else. Also bears a distinct resemblance to Joyce !
Apparently the Jades' normal drummer Les Swanson was a hardcore rocker who hated "surf" music, so he refused to play on the session. And to add to the chaos, the flipside Blue Black Hair went to over 20 takes, by which time the usual singer Ritchie Ricci had lost his voice, so he was subbed by an onlooker.... garage recording values at their finest lol.
One word from the Chevalier's distinctive voice, and I'm terrified! If you ever get a chance to see the Marat/Sade, think very carefully - it can mark you for life!
I composed music for a scene in Barry Lyndon where the music is almost absent. Let me know what you think. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jLEfXnYk_CY.htmlsi=PkgSPE0o5BItENsK
i love this scene, its the few times we see Redmonds humanity. Not that he's a monster, but we dont really see many moments of emotion by Redmond if I recall correctly, in the film. The chevaliers reaction, when Redmond confesses, is a little hard to read for me, he seems shocked, but the embrace, we dont know if its the Chevalier is being manipulative, or actually empathizes with Barry (fully) haha
One of the curses of being human is that we so rarely have "pure" emotions, unmixed with self-interest or envy or something else (Barry only really has it for his son, Brian). So it's best to just accept that about each other and be compassionate.
Well he still speaks a Germanic language English. His name English too so no idea why Irish people in comment section are talking about? In 18th century many Irishmen were English settlers in Ireland.
I know the feeling well. To hear an accent from home when you've been living for years as a stranger in a strange land can be a very emotional experience.
When I visited family in Germany back in '95 I went with an uncle to a riding stable. There I met a fellow American who just happened to have 2 baseball gloves and a baseball with him and we played catch for half an hour to the interest of the Germans there. Yes I had family there that I knew but it felt good having a catch with a countryman.
@@abandonthis Stanley Kubrick, like all the other jewish movie producers is a propagandist. The film portrays several German characters in a negative light. The character of Captain Potzdorf, for example, is depicted as a cold and calculating opportunist. Additionally, the film's portrayal of the Prussian military during the Seven Years' War showcases a brutal and rigid system. It's intent is to portray european heritage, especially higher class as being degenerate and void of beauty. Who do you think organized beheading sessions and "revolutions" against the so called "oppressive class"? Who called for "democracy" ?
@@Y1001 your point holds some merit, but remember also that a lot of jews were also caught up in the killings during revolutions, i.e. there was a factional war between differing sects of jews, sometimes using their own people as fodder
Lets all appreciate this film being made using only the sun for lighting.. Kubrick is a genius. He left us a film in which interior, landscape, the sky, the buildings are captured in real lighting. It is a masterpiece for all time. ❤ I wish all people today who have only known digital images would see this film.
I dunno, if I was 'behind enemy lines', and I met a fellow countryman...after seeing them rob my backyard of my patio furniture so they can sell for some dope? Yeah, I'd be ratting all of my 'fellow countrymen' out in a split second. They crossed the line at patio furniture for me.
Treated like crap as an Irishman in the British army, then worse in the Prussian. He missed home, no phone, books in English, Internet or TV. He'd had enough.
@@tranzco1173 That is an odd departure from the source. I wonder if it was to give emphasis to Barry's enchantment witnessing Balibari's worldliness and refinement, and to diminish the natural connection of consanguinity.
