How awesome is this movie! Stanley Kubrick is such a genius and i believe this is his best work. It is such a disturbing movie of social commentary and i love it for it's obscurity.

The rape scenes and ultra-violence were especially disturbing. The brainwashing scenes are excellent... how classic is The Simpsons where it features santa's little helper with his eyes being held open to brainwash him and stop his bad behavious...

Yea, its one of those rare cases of a pop icon being art. The Bealtes are like that in a way.

I love the film though. Its got its own striking visual and audio asthetic, but the film itself is perfectly paced and written. The film never gets boring or unstimulating.

too bad it was actually a book first.

yeah it was a mad movie, i just loved how every thing that they did in the movie always seemed normal

 

[Hippy La-Laa]

I found it quite difficult to watch because of the level of violence, but really enojyed the film overall.


Killer soundtrack too.

a clockwork orange in my mind rates as the best of the kubrick movies (even ahead of dr. strangelove and FMJ), it has a pretty unique plot, despite the graphic violence; definitely one to rent from the video store if you missed it on SBS last year in the kubrick season

ahh i fucking love this movie! id rate it equal with FMJ

know what u mean

i love that scene when he tries to come home and the guy living in his old room tells him to piss off for all the grief he has caused his parents.

 

[SashatheMan]

yeh the movie is excellent. what u didnt know about it , the slang used in the movie eg "moloko" the bar where they drank that energy drink and all the other words are russian words. i am russian my self and didnt even pick up on it umtil i watched the movie for ther second time. "droogies" means friends in russian so when alex uses that word on his gang members thats what it means. oh and "devochka" means girl. the pronansiation is bad.

Thats no reason to rat on a film. There is a real art to converting a book into a screenplay. Different things work with differently on each medium. Take the LOTR films - they managed to strike a perfect balance of bringing out a story faithfully to the book but also changing it enough to make it play as a cohesive film.

God that is a great movie.

But I have to say that I prefered the book. Burgess is a bloody genius.
