A Clockwork Orange may be #70 on AFI's list of top 100 films but it's #1 for me.
Alex, Pete, Georgie, and Dim - and a bit of the old ultra violent
Yes! - this was my mom's favorite movie. Because, she said, 'they buck the system, and I love any movie where they buck the system'. Only she didn't say buck.
I love A Clockwork Orange for that reason and for the experience I had watching it with my mom at the Art Theater in Long Beach.
But I also love A Clockwork Orange because it's amazing. The imagery, the music, the characters, the style, the cats. It isn't just unusual - it's iconic - have you noticed no one has ever attempted a remake? Why not? Because it's perfect as-is.
A Clockwork Orange is the story of a young gangster who gets betrayed by his mates and is sentenced to 14 years in prison for murder. He is later selected for an alternative therapeutic treatment in exchange for early release. The therapeutic treatment causes him to become ill when faced with sex or violence. That alone would be enough to make an interesting film - but the author has the story set in dystopian England and the characters have original language and glorious costumes. And that would be enough but ultra-violence and the old in-out make this film a thrill to watch.
It's a superb film. Share it with your loved ones.
