Love that exuberant music at the end of the video. And the voice over is just so stately and appropriate. Kubrick simply got everything perfect, and that is just amazing considering how much detail there was.
He found him suspicious when he immediately saw him. After he read his identification papers, he was confident that he was an imposter. But we the viewers are rooting for Barry but we know he knows and we hope he's not caught.
In my imagination, Captain Potzdorf was observing him from afar, before we see him coming into view. Potzdorf was probably on the lookout for any Prussian deserters, and he had a trained eye. "See that British rider in the distance? An officer by the looks of it but riding his horse in times of war, without a care in the world. If that really is a British officer, then I'm the king of England! Let's go and find out..."
The current age has sex on the brain so it finds it hard to believe that it didn't enter into Barry's relations with the married young woman who helped him. I haven't read the book myself but would like to believe that it was simply an act of Christian kindness. Not every age was as sex-obsessed as the present one -thank goodness!
@@edwardhogan1877 Dude... In the 70s people had even more sex on the brain than now. And it shows you haven't seen the movie. After having dinner with him the evening before, she does inquire about Barry being lonely. Did you listen to the narrator? He likened the girl to any town in wartime that had repeatedly been conquered, abandoned, and taken again.
