I played Bryan in the film. I remember shooting it like it was yesterday (47 years ago). On set, Kubrick put my trailer next to Ryan's. Ryan was like a father on set and I really think it was Kubrick being a genius and creating a true bond. The fathership Ryan showed me on set, looking back, made his reaction that of a father. Honoured to have been chosen to play the part.

About the only time I ever felt sorry for Barry.

Could this be the most touching movie scene of all time? So poignant and Marisa Berenson is amazing.

While Barry loved his son, he utterly spoiled him.

Probably the saddest death scene in film history, for me. Kubrick was a genius

Rain, black suits, sad music, sequence shot. Thank you Stanley Kubrick to have been a visionnaire of the cinema and to have brought revolution to the 7e Art! We’ll never forget you and your talent!

Smiling through his tears--the Ryan O'Neal specialty! With the departure of Elizabeth II, I was thinking about that movie's final words: "These people lived in the 18th century. Rich or poor, good or bad, they are all equal now."

Never call Kubrick cold again. Thanks.

That cut might be seen as an statement about life and death. That cut means, one second you are alive, and the next second you're dead. As simple as that. But humans, and most certainly in the 18th century Europe, need rituals to sink in such a difficult moment. In my view, it's not even against religion, it just shows how difficult is for us to understand a child's loss.

Where film would play a sad song at the funeral This one plays the main theme More intensely than ever Because this sums up the tragedy and themes of this movie perfectly Luck gave barry this life and now it's begun to rip it away He gave his son a luxurious life that he never had growing up, but ultimately, that luxury resulted in his death when his father gave him the horse The power climb and luxury all don't matter when life could just as easily take it all away "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away." Barry wanted to be rich Ended up, poor He wanted to have a child But ended up childless He wanted fame And ended up forgotten It's kind of poetic that this is the most overlooked of kubricks post strangelove work But those who saw it will never forget MASTERPIECE

There is a sub-text here: the son of the Irish adventurer is already talking like a young lord and thinking of himself as one. And he repeats Lord Bullingdon's statement about their quarreling and the implications of it! Barry begins to tell the story of taking the fort, but chokes when he comes to the part about "....in three minutes we left them....", meaning they left them dead. Does he choke at the memory or at the resonance of his son's impending death, or both? The larger metaphor of course is that here is their punishment for adultery, implied if not actual.
