Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2006)

A Clockwork Orange, the most original film i have ever seen. The film is told through the eyes of an uncommon criminal in place of the lovable hero. Our main character usually has an important job, perhaps a family, an obstacle to overcome through hard work and dedication, a woman or a dream. However, in this futuristic cult classic our main character is a young boy with problems, hideous friends, and violent tendencies. When the eyes of this narrator become humbled by prison and society attempts to leash this brute, we see the contradictory lifestyle completely. He becomes institutionalized, and the system of control and social protection takes him apart piece by piece. This film shows the contrast between complete freedom and lack there of. It shows us the tale of a criminals punishment and the life of a person when littered with problems and boundaries. I love this film for it's originality and spunk. It is visually stunning, and in my opinion, Stanly Kubric's best production.
