July 21, 2025Jul 21 And as good luck would have it, return fire towards Barry Lyndon, wounds the gentleman next to him who in gratitude would become his Patron thereby elevating Barry's position if life. Only of course not luck because Barry had this planned, gambling that the worthy next to him would fall before he did. Risky and rewarding. An Irish lad, without prospects, rises by scheming, up to nobility. An old Victorian, William Makepeace Thackeray, wrote 2 famous books where the main character rises from lowly station up higher. Barry Lyndon (an Irish farm lad) and Vanity Faire (a school girl Becky Sharp). This movie directed by Stanley Kubrik won 4 Oscars.
