This movie is amazing. One of the best movies I have ever seen.
Violent, gross, strong, powerful, and the most uncomfortable movie in the world. McDowall as the Beethoven-loving hooligan-leader is perfect and disgusting, when he and his pack of 'droogs' is going around and rape, kills and as he says commiting 'ultra-violence'. His mates sets him up, he gets brainwashed and is thrown back in the society as a new person. But is he? And how does the world treat him nowadays?
This movie is VERY disturbing. It's so tragic and powerful.
Just the feeling you get when the droogs rings the bell on mr.Alexander's door. You don't feel safe in your house anymore. I don't think I could sleep for a week after seeing this movie. Actually, I kind of hide it. I have seen it two times, maybe three, no more. The main reason is... I don't dare. It isn't just a movie you slack upon a Sunday morning. Just as in other Kubrick movies you will have to be ready for something different. 2001 (you can't say I'm wrong), DR. STRANGELOVE (verrryyy bizarre), Barry Lyndon (is there a longer movie?), The Shining (it IS scary!!!) and Full Metal Jacket (about the same as this one). I haven't seen EYES WIDE SHUT yet, but I will be prepared.
I love Stanley Kubrick, he is my nr.1-director (even though he's dead) and A CLOCKWORK ORANGE is his best movie ever made.
The scariest movie in the world. 10/10
