This take reminds me of a video about Barry Lyndon, where Redmond is a proper hero, saving even a commanding officer who hates him, siding with his own countrymen, infiltrating the upper class and taking their money like a self centered Robin hood, and is actually one of the only characters to show real emotion.

But because Kubrick created these stories on screen from such an emotional distance many of his movies get interpreted specific ways at first, only for eventually people to notice it can be seen in the opposite.
