Kubrick at his best !!

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2006)

Re-watching a film like "A clockwork orange" these times, we cannot avoid a comparison between the violence 40 years ago, and now. What's is changed ? Drugs, sex and madness still are the (principal) reasons of violence. Yes, but....what's about vengeance ?
When I watched it the first time I supposed "A clockwork orange" little different. I didn't imagine the redemption. What amazed me were the sadist revenges of the previous victims (and even the previous pals) against a cured, disciplined man. Their vendetta is doubly cruel, because they had the consciousness to do it.
We lived (40 years ago) in a hypocritical world.....like today.
Great Malcolm McDowell, and greater Kubrick !!!
