Big brass ones needed for whatever side you were fighting on because at least the men advancing are doing something, the men having to watch them advance would have many doing the same, they all knew what was going to happen and the men in the front rank of the advancing force must have known their chances of survival were slim.
"Must have been a pants wetting experience..." Especially when they had to be within thirty metres of the enemy to stand some chance of even hitting them with those horribly inaccurate muskets.
Yes. Have considered why the narration wasn't done 1st person, by Barry himself; given the Kubrick theme of breakdown of characters, a 3rd person narrative of the story makes sense.
They adopted close formations like that because the accuracy and relatively short range of the guns during that period. If you put a line of guys shoulder to shoulder you create a wall of bullets. Those formations were also designed to deter cavalry. Unfortunately as the weapon technology advanced and the guns became more accurate and longer ranged the tactics sometimes took longer to change. They were still fighting in close formations up to the end of the 19th century. But during the 1700's where this clip is based on these were the best tactics to adopt believe it or not.

True but irrelevant as there were no regiments of foot guards at the Battle of Minden anyway. Also at the time 'The British Grenadier' was not the regimental march of any foot regiment in the British Army.
Next time the Grenadiers troop the colours for the Queen, they should wear these uniforms and carry muskets. Looks way cooler than what they do now, carrying modern weapons. This is really what the Grenadiers are about, light infantry trained for close combat.
The Grenadiers were originally part of a normal line infantry regiment, but big men chosen to throw grenades. I think you;re thinking of the light infantry, again which were part of a normal line regiment, would skirmish in front of the regiments lines, but eventually grouped to form dedicated light infantry regiments. The line regiments were the ones who went in for close combat - a volley followed by a rush with the bayonet.

Part of the great battlefield scenes from Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" ( 1975 )
What amazes me is that they can still walk normally with such massive balls 😂
In october 2019 they are still marching towards enemy and it seems they will never get there. :D
They must have been marching in a circle as they passed the same tree five or six times. It does remind one of Monty Python.
Barry Lyndon was the name of the movie.
They're not getting any closer. This could go on forever. In fact, they are still closing with the enemy in some parallel universe.
Respect to brave and glorious English army! Hello from Athens Greece!

If such a basic easy thing is wrong, it doesn't augur well for the historical accuracy of the rest of the film. In fact, the film was frequently historically inaccurate, because Kubrik cut corners and used the extensive research that he had already done for his abandoned project on the Napoleonic Wars, so much of the period details do not take into account the many significant changes that happened during the intervening years - so it isn't 'very accurate'.
OK Cupid date: So what kind of music do you listen to?
Me:
Present Arrrrmms! By the left marker....quick.......maaaaarrrrrrrrrch!...
Great film
No it isn't! Just Americans propaganda movie
The fifers stuck the flute in their boot during a charge.
It's not a song, it's a tune. If there are lyrics with the music then it is a song, if just the music it's a tune.
I wish Americans could understand this distinction. Gives me the pips every time I hear a tune referred to as a song.
Tom Allen well I am American so that particular generalization is wrong, but I get what your getting at. I would say that it isn't Americans that don't understand the difference, it's everyone who doesn't have an education in the classically trained instruments with an instructor working with you giving you immediate feedback.
When the American kid picks on a British kid in London
Edit: Wait for Ireland to get involved
That rarely happens because we’re mates
Alun Davies it was that Swedish kid
The meatball man is inevitable. Probably the Americans are our mates and they don’t even get annoyed when we try to pay for their beer in return for all of the help they gave our Grandparents during the wars
American kid:the British are coming!!!
British kid:get the grenadiers ready give em the tase of the crown
The grenadiers march indeed, and now we all speak english
Without gunpower, they will march with spears and throw Javelins... And No, the strength of UK was walking in the front of tide, They catch the Great sailing era and times of Steam engine.
We Europeans have been killing each other in an organized manner, for at least 3000 years.
I do not support warfare. I support peace. However, I must say, that in the time period covered, in this clip, beauty emerged. Expanding the boundaries of honnor.
Great
Marching to the beat 🎶
The same clip played seven times over. They all died of exhaustion or boredom before they reached the French line.
I thought the marching was gonna last for an hour.. it looks like it.
You would have gotten 25 yards beyond those trees to fire effectively with a musket.
I'm USA, but these brits were fucking terrifying to watch in action..
Thank you to the kind person who provided the information I asked for.
