Unless you know something I don't.I don't think Pollack's performance damaged the movie one bit. Although I must say only a moron or a great actor would read those idiotic lines with straight face... what an actor!
Follow Ups:
you're a tremendous admirer of "Barry Lyndon," but the morals then WERE where Kubrick seemed stuck.
He seemed to think that EWS would be shocking/sensational---well, maybe in the sixties. A bunch of old guys paying a bunch of whores to screw them in an old mansion? Hell, aging rock stars do it every night!
Kubrick for some strange reason got stuck in the lame revelations of the sixties... yes, that novel (according to many who read it.... I haven't) makes one boring reading today - one of those mandane works apparently that did not age well.As I said, Pollacks narration in the end was laughable, the text was so incredibly void of any emotional impact it was like listening to traffic noise.
One password... second password... that is all stuff from children's books. There is no philosophy there.
So perhaps you are right - he very well did *people* but just couldn't handle women.
