I don't think this is a good film, but I fear I'm in the minority.

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2005)

I'm afraid I'm one of those few people who just doesn't 'get' this film. There are two things in this film I like: Malcolm McDowell, who is an excellent and really under-used actor, and the music. Apart from these two I found the film silly, unbelievable, and the main 'theme' (does forcing people to be good actually make them good?) lost to me. Of course, I fear I am in the minority here, but I don't base my opinions on what the majority thinks. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think Stanley Kubrick was unique, but not a very good director. 2001, Barry Lyndon and Full Metal Jacket are very interesting and different, but not very good. He always appears a bit aloof and cold in directing, not letting the audience feel to strongly about the characters. Much like A Clockwork Orange.
Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this film. I know many will disagree with me, but A Clockwork Orange is too random and subjective a film for me to consider good film-making.
