Quite possibly the best film of all time....

Rating: 10/10 (24 February 2006)

Before watching ACO i was under the impression that it would be slightly sadistic, violent and as a result almost meaningless in its plot. When i watched this for the first time, in the first half i felt as though my prediction was in fact correct, however, letting it play through to the end i then realised just how wrong i was. The violence in the first half is completely necessary, inviting the viewer to experience Alex's way of life. Not only this, however, but it also appeared to reflect a true image of what society has and will inevitably degenerate to. This being the case, i felt that this film is a true work of art posing moral questions about the government, society, and youth. The script is absolutely fantastic and is complemented by Malcolm McDowell's outstanding performance.Everyone who is even remotely interested in cinema should watch this film. It is quite possibly the best film of all time in my opinion.
