Greatest movie ever.

Rating: 10/10 (22 January 2007)

A clockwork Orange is a brilliant masterpiece of Stanley Kubrick: in my honest opinion, the best movie he ever made. The Shining en 2001: A Space Oddesey were fabulous movies, but ACO rises all above them. To tell you the truth, I have never been so impressed by a movie as this one. I now am going to explain the reason for that right know, at least, I'll try to.
What many people say, is true: The first time you watch this movie, you really think "What the ****"????? and you'll prefer to throw this movie away. Then again, it's not a movie to rent at a dull Friday night with a bunch of friends. No my droogs, this is a very controversial movie, so brutal and cruel yet filled with so many messages and looks at the future, you really have to think while watching this movie, and have to stay serious. The movie has very funny pieces in it, but then again, it's far from a comedy. It's a dramatic, criminal, violent, and also a very crazy movie. But with crazy I mean it the good way crazy. This movie is about a teenager (16-18)named Alex, who's life is all violence, sex and Beethoven. Every night he sits at the Korova Milk Bar, drinking drug milk with his 'droogs' (buddies or friends) Dim, Pete and Georgie. Dressed very odd, they walk and drive to town, raping and beating the **** out of innocent people. Just for fun. But when they are breaking into a woman's house, the other droogs take revenge on Alex for being to bossy and too violent against them (pushing Dim into the water, slapping him etc. etc.). Alex is caught by the police and has to go to jail for 14 years. For 2 years he sits in this prison, when he hears of a new technique that will cure him and make him a free man in 14 days. He agrees...
Thus so far the story line: I don't want to tell too much of it, for many people still have to watch this movie.
Why do I give it a 10?? This movie is harsh, violent and almost pornographic sometimes, but those are just a few scenes. The real moral of this movie, the plot, the idea behind this whole story is the work of a genius. Also, they can make a movie look so good without any SF and the actor's are doing a great job, especially Alex. Also, the set is very strange, yet awesome: you can't place this movie in a certain time period or year. This movie still plays on in my head after 2 years, still let me think about this strange world and I'm still a great fan of Alex and his droogs. Cheers.
