Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2003)

CAUTION: INCLUDES SPOILERS. A Clockwork Orange is a classic of all kinds, this movie points something out in society, films no longer do that, they never give you entertainment and still have a moral, or classic films give you entertainment, the best entertainment, with no moral. The only film recently that has done that is American Beauty. The book is really were everything comes from, but Stanley Kubrick did a great job adapting it, he cut out the right parts, and added the right parts. I would say the film is better than the book.
Most people protest of it being brilliance because they think all this has to offer is stuff that playboy does, but no. Playboy doesn't have a reason for nudity, A Clockwork Orange does. The nudity shows how bad they are, nothing else, it's all simply for a reason. The moral in this is that everyone should get a free choice between good and evil, everyone does evil every once in a while, how could you go through your whole life without at least a punch at somebody, joking or not. A lot of movies show violence (The Matrix, The Terminator) how could you go through life without at least seing one act of violence. You simply can't, you can't watch the channel four news, or whatever channel it is.
Also, everything is superb, one scene where Billy Boy, and Dim beat him up, they play the theme, and every hit, Kubrick makes sure the sound is at the exact time, I've seen all of his films, and not one of them have one mistake. Maybe in his earlier films, but Kubrick didn't notice yet what he had to do. Not even speilberg does it as perfect as Kubrick. Kubrick makes sure there's the best cinematography ever, in his films, which I like, and these days I don't see any good cinematography, ever since Conrad Hall died, he's one of the best. Kubrick noted that a film should be like music, expressions, and feelings throughout the movie. In A Clockwork Orange it was, happy, sad, happy. I pointed out another thing, there's been no film where the character started out where he was, and ended up in the end where he was. I do think Kubrick should've added the chapter to assure everyone that Alex won't go through his whole life, raping, and hurting people. And it would be a better ending, because you know that's all he's going to do for the rest of his life, get a wife, and have kids. A Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece, the book and the movie. I advise you to read to do both, not in any order, it doesn't matter. So goodbye, amen, and all that cal.
