  Everyone knows that the lenses were supplied to Kubrick for BARRY LYNDON by 
NASA as a payback for him shooting the fake moon landing for them. It was even 
featured in a documenatary about Stanley.

    I also like the classical music in Barry Lyndon. It perfectly enhances the 
mood throughout the movie. 


    Speaking of glorious cinematography, I recall reading that they had to 
develop special wide-aperture lenses for that movie in order to shoot the 
candlelight scenes without movie lights.



    I think Barry Lyndon was the last Kubrick film that mesmerized me.

      Coincidentally, I watched "Barry Lyndon" last week as a Netflix rental, 
curious about whether my positive impressions of the film still held up.  They 
did.  It's mesmerizing to me and I'd forgotten that one of the big reasons why 
(besides its glorious cinematography) -- is because it's narrated and easy to 
follow.  The pace of the picture, I don't even think about it -- because as 
they say -- any movie that's good never feels bloated.  It isn't great acting, 
but it isn't bad either.  Whatever happened to the gorgeous Marisa Berenson, by 
the way?
