One of the greats in cinema

Rating: 9/10 (21 April 2006)

If one must watch A Clockwork Orange, one must read the book first by Anthony Burgess. For if you don, than you won't get the actual point that is being shown. But more on that in a little bit, now about the movie. A Clockwork Orange is a great film, no doubt. The first time I viewed it i was just like "huh, how interesting" because i hadn't read the book yet. the great film A Clockwork Orange is about a fifteen year old boy named Alexander De Large who loves to rape, kill, and listen to Beethoven. The book and movie are very similar. I was happy when i realized that they both have the same beginning "There was me that is Alex, and my three droogs that are Pete Georgie and Dim" or something like that. There is no point in babbling on and on about the movie because i don't want to spoil MUCH but i will spoil the ending.
ENDING: COMMUNISM IS BAD! Now the actual meaning of A Clockwork Orange is that communism is bad and that its practices are worse. Alex has the freedom of choice, with rape and "Ultra Violence" and the Ol' In-Out In-Out. But when he goes to the Ludovico therapy he loses his sense of freedom. Like communism, you do not have the freedom of choice, which Anthony Burgess realized when he went to Russia back in the day. But when he is "cured" he is cured in the eye of the government. But when Alex is "cured" he seizes to be a human being. he becomes "As queer as a Clockwork Orange" Which is an old English saying... WILL
