A classic indeed

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2007)

Stanley Kubrick has done some really great and classic films like Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey , The Shining and A Clockwork Orange is definitely one of them. The film has an appeal to it that makes it such a classic film since it has violence, rape, comedy, satire, irony, drama and a main character that is so interesting you can't help but love the film. The acting is great especially from Malcolm McDowell who does a great job as the main character Alex. The film is narrated by Alex has he tells his story of what happened to him with his gang and what happened after, Alex (Malcolm McDowell) is a young man who is the leader of a gang he calls Droogs that like ultra violence and rape, Alex also likes listening to Beethoven music. They also like spending time at a Milk Bar when they're not doing any ultra violence or rape, the Milk contains drugs which makes them ready for more. Alex also shows his Droogs who's boss and after a discuss of a new idea Alex beats the two up but afterwards he lets them tell him there new idea to rob someone, they go to the cat lady's house and Alex sneaks in and after accidentally killing her with an ornament he unlocks the door and just as the police are arriving they whack him over the face with a milk bottle and leave him for the police.
Alex is sent to prison and after a while in there he hears about a new treatment being used that stops people from going to prison again, the warden allows him to leave so Alex is then transferred there where he soon is taught that violence and rape is bad by watching videos of certain things and the medicine makes him feel bad when these things happen, Alex can no longer hurt anyone or rape anyone because if he does he will feel a terrible feeling. Alex can only do good after only doing evil, he's a Clockwork orange.
A Clockwork Orange is a great classic by Stanley Kubrick that should be seen. Check this out. 10/10
