Rating: 10/10 (21 June 2000)

Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film, "A Clockwork Orange", is the story about an aggressive young man named Alex DeLarge, who has a strong passion for ultra-violence, rape, and (believe it or not!!!) Beethoven. As the leader of his so-called droogs (Pete, Georgie, and Dim), who share the same passions as he does, Alex and his three droogs have terrorized futuristic England...raping and beating helpless victims until he is captured by the police and sentenced 14 in jail for murder. To shorten his jail sentence, Alex goes for aversion therapy to cure his violent ways. After being released, Alex's passions for ultra-violence, rape, and Beethoven have all, but faded away. Soon, Alex finds out that being cured isn't all that is cracked up to be...and his former victims are all ready to turn every bit of pain and agony he has caused for them over to him. Like they say...everything you do, always comes back to you!!!
I always was eager to see this film...even though it is ten years older than I am...but after seeing Stanley Kubrick's final film, "Eyes Wide Shut", I was impressed by the strange and yet fascinating characters Stanley Kubrick's films have featured. Alex DeLarge is an unforgettable character played by Malcolm McDowell...his brilliant mind, but horrible passions have made the film itself unforgettable. Stanley Kubric once said, "If Malcolm hadn't been available I probably wouldn't have made the film." Malcolm McDowell has brought a light onto the screen portraying the strange Alex DeLarge, and I don't think anyone could do better than Malcolm did! What I also loved about this film was the interesting twists and turns in the film.
"A Clockwork Orange" is one of the best films ever made! Any movie lover would love it!!! It's one film that is definately worth watching!!! :)
