BAD FILM FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2004)

technically magnificent, maybe the best epic movie illustrating period of 18th century but it's hard for an average viewer to get into, especially when it's so cold and abstract experience, for me there is almost kind of an unhuman approach to its characters from Kubrick which i really don't like in his films. The largest part of audience used to be going to movies to be entertained, emotionally involved, and even though it's actually only my point of view but i think generally what makes the greatest movies of all time is not just how beautiful and artistically brilliant the film is but it's the longevity and the popularity by most people in the world and in every generation. if there is Kubrick's the greatest one it must be rather Dr.Strangelove... or 2001 Space Odyssey but you know what, i like Barry Lyndon too even though it's not emotionally and narativelly good film on a standard level.
