I had more courage seeing this movie when I was 16 than now at 43.

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 1999)

I remember in 1971, when I was 16, my boyfriend took me to see this movie. I laughed through most of it, not seeing the violence, just dealing with the obnoxiousness of Alex. It was so weird and cleverly masked with beautiful classical music, I ignored the violence. I sort of cheered when Alex's friend's gave him is "just desserts" by kicking his ass after he had done the same to them in the past. The end of the movie showed what I've always believed: "No one gets away with anything, if they do something with malicious intent".
Now at 43, I have to see it again, come back to IMDB and do another review. I will tell you right now: I will not see this movie at night. I don't think my nerves can deal with violence so frivolously as I did back in time. Remember, gang violence, teenage violence was a great minimum in the 70's. The Love Generation was still around and we did not think of anything but "loving our brother and sister". So Clockwork Orange was an unbelievable story for the 70's. Now look where we are at in the 90's: A Clockwork Orange.
See you later with Part II of my adult review of "A Clockwork Orange".
