Best film of all time

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2001)

Without a doubt the greatest movie of all time, directed by the best director of all time. The movie can disturb you, shock you, and at times make you laugh, but in the end it is an experience like no other. It is also quite possibly the most important movie ever made. There have been countless attempts to decipher as to what the movie "was saying". In actuality it says it all. Whether it deals with the violent side of man kind, or of moral choice, the messages are clear. I was totally disturbed by the violence in this movie, but it was not senseless. It needed to be there, and the people watching needed to be disturbed. When Alex was released from prison, apparently "cured" we see that the world had turned on him, and he had no longer the means to fight back. It is because they took away his moral choice to be violent. He was only cured in the sense that he no longer had the choice, now is that really moral? Sure he was violent, but he chose to be that way, and in the end that is what he would turn out to be again. You cannot change people if they don't want to change themselves. Alex deserved punishment, not rehabilitation, for that movie showed us that we are what we are, and there is nothing anyone can do about it. I encourage everyone to see this movie, and make your own interpretation, much like I did. It may differ from mine, but if there is one thing we should take from it, it is that we are all individuals with our own thoughts, beliefs, and opinions. ********** all the way.
