A Clockwork Orange

A pretentious "modern" tale of totalitarism.

I love the movie although is very subtle by nature which ironically I enjoyed. Throughout the movie the main problem was the depiction of the "Ultra-Violence", the ideas of rape, sadistic murders haunt us if they are depicted properly in motion pictures which the film didnt make the best of it. The acting was superb; McDowell especially.

We dont see drugs used by the gang but the act is "seen" through the milk scenes at Corova club. That's why im loving Kubrick already; recklessly creative, he's trying to show us throughout the movie the society in shambles (look for: city views, homeless people)

The message is given at the very ending moments.. The worst criminals are those in uniform. It is not a question whether governemt did manage to turn the Britain into a totalirist state or not cause that was obvious. The elements were clear; customs, prison uniforms reminiscent of the German Nazi dictatorship.

In the end, this movie will survive the ages of time also highly to consider amidst youth. Human disbalance from opressive patriarchal elders to rebelled teens and their disobience nurtured by dissatissfaction. Its a complex thing yet delivered subtly and simple in the movie. Directing the technicalities Kubrick delivered.
