this movie so rocks!!

Rating: 9/10 (28 September 2002)

This movie will entertain you and hopefully make you think. When I first saw this movie I just liked it because it was shocking and political. Now I still like it for both of those reasons, but as I'm getting older I realize more of what it means. Some of that may be because it's becoming so much ingrained into our pop culture that one cannot deny the message that it sends. In one of my grad psyche classes I was suprised that I was among the 3 in the room who had seen it (including my professor, who brought it up). This movie brings upfront what behaviorism and strict training can do to a person, and if we use our imaginations, what it could do to a nation.
People talk about brainwashing as if it were nothing. What was done to Alex, our humble narrator, could be done to any of us who happen to go against the morees of an area, a nation, etc. That is just something to keep in mind for people who think that this kind of training is what should be done to everyone in jail (and those who have missed the entire point of the movie, and there are those out there). So keep alive your freedom of ideas, hopefully they aren't going to hurt anyone else. And keep alive your love for milk bars, the old in and out and of course, Beethoven. Also don't forget it was a book, first.
