Barry Lyndon

Following my Kubrick watching week, I watched "Barry Lyndon". The way in which the XVII century was portrayed was impeccable, and the way in which the editing is made transmits the whole slow pace of this society. I had a really hard time liking it. It was really nice, and I really wanted to like it, but I just didn't. I feel terrible, I can't believe I didn't like something made by Kubrick, but I just didn't. Was it really fantastically made? Yes, but it was slow and boring and at any point did it absorb me or intrigue me in any way. I have to confess an atrocity, i fast fowered some parts, well lots of them, they were just SO slow. I had to separate it in 3 viewing. I love slow stuff like sit and listen to Bach or Beethoven while padding my dog in a rainy day, but this was just boring. Maybe I'm Americanising , in that case well, I'll just rent Terminator 8 or transformers the revolution of Mac.
I just read this before posting it and my review is pretty crappy. Sorry guys!
See you soon.
