Read book first!

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2003)

Alrighty malchicks and devotchkas, a bit of a tip for all of you who are negative towards this movie. One should go out to the biblio and read the book first. It is truly amazing how Kubrick either didn't want to or wasn't able to put it all just as the book tells the story. I used to be one of those vecks who always slooshied how the book is so much better than the movie. To which I always responded, I don't feel like reading a book; that's why they make movies. Lo and behold, there are so many little things and some big things as to which Kubrick didn't put in the movie for whatever reason. One of these would be: in the book, Alex is saved from the tramps by two of his former acquaintances. One being Dim and the other not being Georgieboy, but Billyboy. And instead of being out on the streets when he is asked "could you spare some cutter me brother?", he is in the biblio. This movie is one of my favorites, but I suggest to all of you malenky droogies, read the book as well!!
