a century ahead of its time,boundless,timeless movie.............

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2010)

it took me a long time to understand why i liked this movie so much.i do not only liked this movie but felt so personal about it,i started thinking about this movie all the time.the feeling of exploring and experiencing something new and unique took over my mind.i never believed that the art of movie making can be so pleasantly shocking, daring and sensational.the movie is also very thought-provoking satire,a precisely correct vision of our dark future,where we are heading ourself in future.the movie was challenging and daring as the movie shows the failure of society and system at every point in a very straightforward manner.
the futuristic tale of a teenage boy Alex set in Britain,Alex whose fascination is for all the deplorable and shameful criminal activities.the fascination of Alex towards all those crimes can be figure out by looking into the world where he lives.the future world of anarchy,chaos and immorality.all the things he did was in his ignorance.in fact he was the product of the society where morals and wisdom have been extinguished long before Alex was born.there was no sense of good and bad in him,all those crimes was his means of entertainment,he find them equally amusing as Beethoven was amusing for him.the movie shows the decline of culture and morals,lack of communication bw. parents and children through the relationship of Alex with his parents.
the story shows two stages of Alex at first,a completely evil machine created by society and was programmed for anarchy and chaos.at the second when he betrayed by friends and sent to prison where he was selected for a test.the alteration of Alex from completely evil to completely good was very painful and unjustifiable.the movie here also shows the failure of the system to understand the problem and its inability to find solution properly.when Alex returned from prison,he was abused and condemned,without realizing his condition he was punished for what he had done previously.
Alex was called a clockwork orange because he was like a machine(a robot),at the both stages.at first a pure evil programmed for anarchy and chaos.and the second one was of pure good where he was painfully programmed to do only good.a human is a mixture of good and bad both but Alex had no understanding to choose bw. good and bad,he was living in ignorance like a robot,without realizing what he was doing, without any insight of it.
Alex was played by Malcolm McDowell perfectly,he was the best choice for the role.Alex was evil-minded,sinister and a monster and also a nescient teenage boy living in ignorance.the brilliant performance by Malcolm McDowell convey the message perfectly.direction of Stanley Kubrick was flawlessly path-breaking and imaginative.everything was perfect with the movie,the dialogues in archaic form maintained the feel of the novel and the soundtrack was also brilliant.the sets and costumes was designed very perfectly to give the bizarre feel of the movie.
a clockwork orange is a movie can be consider as ahead of its time,even at the present time no one can think about making a movie like this.a clockwork orange crossed all the limits of movie making showing the way for the filmmakers from all over the world to do something path-breaking, unconventional and extraordinary.
at last,i have to say that this movie can be easily misconceived by anybody,so watch it carefully with an open-mind and don't jump to conclusions instantly,think deeply about it.
