Saw yesterday that he died. R.I.P. 🙏

Hi , what is your top 5?

I've personally boycotted Hollywood, but continue to listen to the works of great composers.

@@SpojrzenieRomana it’s tough! ‘Barry Lyndon’, ‘Master and Commander’ ‘The Go-Between’, ‘The Godfather Part 2’ and ‘Midnight Cowboy’….I’d also want to put ‘Picnic at Hanging Rock’ in there but that’s six 😂…I love French cinema too…

Sure. And yet the other 2 parts of the sarabande are highly unknown are even more beautiful

​@@paulruderstaller5062 just so you know, Barry Lyndon wasn't a Hollywood film. Kubrick made it in Ireland, England and Germany, with his own production company Hawk Films.

Barry Lyndon is a superlative feat of filmmaking craft and is considered by many Kubrick purists to be the director's finest feature. 8:08 [The Independent]

Ophüls, Fellini and Bergman were commonly mentioned as Kubrick's favorite directors.

Stanley Kubrick was a very influential and controversial director. His films were noted for their unique cinematography, attention to detail and an inspired use of music scores. 10:01 [NZQA]

“If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.” Stanley Kubrick

you can, thanks to lsd

though Bullingdon and Barry so different, the former would have made a real protagonist while Barry is the special one

Well spoken both.

He died unter mysterious circumstances after " Eyes wide shut "....

I like that one a lot too!

I would say, Eighteen Century.

@@gianpaolorosati1356 Gianpaolo (nice name, btw), what you thinking, eh?🤌The movie is set between the years 1800 and 1816, so that's makes it "early 19th century" , no? 🤔

@@gianpaolorosati1356 oh... I see now, my bad... you were talking about THIS movie (duh).... Yes, it is $100% "18th century"... 👍

Cheers Giuseppe! ^^ it may of course be that if you keep looking around, you’ll also find things that you don’t like, but regardless, I appreciate it :) I believe there should be much more to enjoy than not for anyone who likes those things ;)

Thank you very much! Glad you had a look around the place, good to have you here.

Thank you for taking the time to check out the «back catalogue»! I don’t mind you asking, but I don’t know that you will find the answer very interesting or satisfactory. To give you the short version, I believe in God. I’m not a Christian, however, and I find what’s left of written sources about the Norse religion much more compelling on an emotional/aesthetic plane (even though it has several gods and not One). The same goes for other European religions. I guess I have leanings toward perennialism, as I do believe that all religions point toward one over-arching Truth (some do it better than others), but I would rather be an adherent of a single faith if I found it possible for me to believe that human beings have got it essentially «all figured out». I *do* believe that it’s possible to have a more or less direct experience of the divine (indeed I think we are surrounded by it everywhere in nature/the world), but I also view it as a great mystery that cannot adequately be put into language. Perhaps music (J. S. Bach’s works are to me the ultimate example) is the best way for us to convey what God is. Or maybe I’m just rambling! So pardon the perhaps incoherent reply, that’s the way it has to be when coming from me, lol. What is your own faith or beliefs?

@@Vingul I mostly like gaining people whom have similar views as me and wanting to know their faith. I am almost the same, but since I am in love with philosophy I can only really say the philosophers Emerson and Thoreau and their work for Transcendalism is something truly inspiring, even tho it might seem like a quite progressive ideology in humanitarianism, I would say I’m more conservative in it, I think traditions, culture and religion are key aspects of the human, while technological progress of whom I oppose is the opposite and a danger to the humanself. I would kinda guess they are a sort of pagan/pantheistic organization, that doesn’t take shame in acknowledging the good of the Bible and the good of nature, for a mindset like that is important in my opinion! Either way, it’s of course interesting to meet pagans as I love religious history and especially to learn about paganism!

@@langskeppet9887 it indeed sounds like we are not very far apart in that regard, then! I have a collection selected by Carl Bode called «The Portable Thoreau», and it’s been a long time, but I read some of the texts two or three times. More than «Walden», I enjoyed texts like «Walking», «A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers» and «Winter». These and others were quite influential on me. And though I’m sure «Civil Disobedience» would be too anarchistic/libertarian for me now, I found it very powerful back then (I’m sure it still packs a punch rhetorically). Ialso have an Emerson collection, but I never got far into it. Maybe I should pick it up again. Your comment definitely made me keen on revisiting Thoreau sooner or later :) In case you’d be interested to know it, some of my favourite authors are Knut Hamsun, J. R. R. Tolkien, Hermann Hesse and Mark Twain. Especially the first two.

@@Vingul Tolkiens work is fantastic, and if anything I wished his ideal middle earth was Europe. I’ve not heard about any of the rest except Mark Twain, but I only know some small parts about him. My first thought was that you were some Brazilian Catholic Integralist, but from my knowledge you are way more profound and knowledgeable then that and I am quite sure I am very wrong about a Brazilian ethnicity, but I would assume Norwegian? Either way brother, thanks for answering my questions, I hope the world can change its progressive tide and officially lay the groundwork of a pro-rural, pro-religion, culture and traditional society.

​@@langskeppet9887 Hahah, I have no idea why you thought I was Brazilian -- or a Catholic Integralist for that matter -- but fair enough! I do like quite a lot of Brazilian music but have never posted any. Norwegian is correct. I think you missed the comment on the thread where we were introduced were I said "jättebaserat" to signalise I'm a fellow Scandi, lol. I can only fully agree with your hopes for the future. Knut Hamsun is probably as well known (maybe even more) in Norway as Ingmar Bergman is in Sweden, and quite controversial... I think you will find him an interesting figure. I warmly recommend reading his novel "Markens Grøde" a.k.a. "Growth of the Soil". Probably good to read it in a Swedish translation.

Good observation! Just about 100k views now and not a single negative comment.. here's hoping it stays that way.
