@@jonc2648 Stanley Kubrick transformed William Thackeray's comedic book The Luck of Barry Lyndon into a film tragedy, particularly by adding the final duel between Lord Bullingdon and Redmond Barry. Over a decade earlier, Kubrick had transformed Peter George's ultra-serious book Red Alert about the potential for nuclear war into the satirical comedy film Dr. Strangelove. In both cases, Kubrick elevated cinema into storytelling far beyond what heretofore had been the usual standard film re-telling of a preexisting book narrative.

In a behind-the-scenes clip on YT, it's mentioned that custom candles were used; 3 wicks.

There seems to be a strong parallel between this great standalone scene with Frank Middlemass as Sir Charles and that of Aubrey Morris playing Mr Deltoid in A Clockwork Orange, both characters a flawed conscience, rightly and boldly skewering the lamb-like deception of the anti-hero, but falling short into grotesque black slapstick. Even the elocution is remarkably similar.

I saw this movie with my parents WAAAAAY back in 1975, and I was 15 at the time. I immediately fell in love with this movie primarily due to the incredible cinematography, and of course the music. And I have watched this timeless masterpiece innumerable times, and still this is my absolute favorite movie of all time.

Of the supporting cast, my two favorites scenes (among many great performances) are Steven Berkoff's facial mugging as Lord Ludd & the late Frank Middlemass's brilliant monologue here.

Actually it was "officially recognized in 1830" but this is merely a technical distinction. From an article in Wikipedia on the history of Belgium we have: The history of Belgium extends before the founding of the modern state of that name in 1830. It's like most nations an incredibly complex story that stretches from the dawn of history to present day. So, you can pick a date and make the kind of case you want. It's knit picking on your part.

In true technicality, the Kingdom of Belgium was a mere possession split between the greater European powers. Spa itself in this time period was apart of the Bishopric of Liège, of which was a French possession. As some have already stated - Belgium wasn't officially recognized until 1831. Until then, it was known as a Kingdom, though it was just occupied by other European powers. A prime example of this is Switzerland. Many people know about the Swiss Confederation, yet few know that parts of Switzerland was carved up by foreign powers in Europe to hold influence. Namely you had the Italian Genoese and Lombardians in the south, the French in the West, bordering with Prussian holdings in the canton of Neuchâtel, etc. European geo-politics is an amusing, yet complicated game.

In a movie filled with magnificent performances, Frank Middlemass' is maybe the best.

Frank Middlemas played the fool in the Royal Shakespeare BBC production of King Lear. I was incredulous to know it was the same great actor!

Lord Lyndon's reaction reminds me of my boss's reaction when I asked him for a raise after he found the co-manager with his wife.

Advising me on a religious matter. Ooooch. That had to be aggravating.

Everyone praises the painting-like scenes - and this is very true, you can hardly find such a movie that perfectly displays the 18th century through subtle references with painting of that era. But the sound is equally important here, the voices sound just incredible.

Marvellous performance by Frank Middlemass.
