What did you think of him in the end? Did firing into the ground

no he's a piece of shit, Lady Lyndon was a fox

He should have killed that fucker

I guess Barry kind of realised what he'd become and what he'd done to Lord Bullingdon?

That said; he was a total bellend overall.

The cousin was nice as well.
Why is the film rated PG? There were 2 naked girls at one point.

Shooting away from the target was considered the gentlemanly thing to do in duels, which would often end with each participant deliberately missing the other

I read the scene as Barry trying to save whatever was left of his tarnished reputation, but underestimating just how much Bullingdon hated him.

I didn't realise that. So he wasn't atoning at all - he was being selfish and greedy as always?

The kid had already fucked up and shot into the ground. Lyndon was being a gentleman and ending the duel instead of killing the little shit.

>the little shit.
Bullingdon was absolutely in the right, Barry was a parasite who didn't even give a shit about his mother, and only wanted to squander his family's wealth on frivolities

I thought he was based all the way through. I saw nothing wrong in anything he did.

He was still a little weakling shit. He was jealous of his half brother, acted like a cunt, tried to publicly humiliate his stepfather (which worked), then fucked his only chance to man-up by firing his shot into the ground because he was terrified of Lyndon...

He was a tragic figure, sure, but I felt nothing but revulsion for him. Fucker should have stayed in the Americas.

it was too long for the censors to sit through
