A retraction of my earlier comment

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2002)

I have to admit, when I wrote that last comment, I hadn't viewed the film in some time. I did so again recently, and it began to look more like a cohesive, coherent whole- brillaint, in fact. I have to admit some of the positive comments I've read here helped my new interpretation of it, though I don't see where one sees that the writer is a writing "A Clockwork Orange." I think I may know the scene, but the type is too small too read. Anyway, I am coming to appreciate this movie a lot more now for its depth and the themes of free will vs. society, passion vs. control, etc. The political element is more clear to me now, and I think I understand the last shot a lot better.
