A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2000)

Film can be good as pure entertainment, but some films can be a work of art that expresses thought and feelings of a generation. This unsurpassed film by a true artist is one of those rare works of art. To anyone who thinks they "get it" but feel this film is anything less then brilliant, I can only say the true reality is, you don't have a clue. No other film maker could have developed a look into the future with such great intellectual content. It just does not happen. This film is something special on so many different levels, it deals with things that are as relevant today as when it was made. The fact that people today don't take responsibility for their actions, the ultra-violence of youth, the exploitation of politicians for their own profit, the alienation of the poor with no hope for bettering themselves, and the fact that "its a stinking world because it lets the young get on to the old, there's no respect for law and order no more". Added to all this, there is also the technical behavior modification that uses classical music as a tool for making one sick. If you don't like this movie then you really don't get it. If you are young and want to experience a true masterpiece then go see this movie and take it all in, but know this, without a doubt, this is one great film.
