The greatest movie ever made.

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2014)

Barry Lyndon is not just a story about a man's rise to power and then coming back. It's a musical masterpiece that also has the greatest dialog and cinematography in movie history so far. The narrator makes the story easy to understand, and this does not become a bad thing. The narration is just so well written. It's amazing that this movie was able to make us root for Redmond Barry in the first half and hate him (or this new arrogant version of him) in the second half. This is the life of a man who failed to make it big, and it has been shown in the best way possible. Director Stanley Kubrick has made this masterpiece which, in my opinion, became better than all his other work. For me, this is the greatest film of all time, and obviously, a must watch.
