big issues tackled

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2002)

Well I saw this movie in 1971 it was the most controversial of its time,it tackles big issues like youth crime,freedom ,vengenance and disenchantment with society.The film is too long a good thirty minutes could and should have been cut.The rape scene was very disturbing and it worries me some thug may try to copy it.However the film does make you think about issues so thats a bonus,but its not an easy film to watch and it is dated.The film was banned in several places in the Uk but now its violence the rape scene apart is not as shocking or bloody as it could have been,so if you haven't seen it watch it but its a hard slog. 6/10
