I got A Clockwork Orange on DVD about a month ago.Clockwork Orange is the second Stantley Kubrick film I have seen.The other one I saw is the shining which was overrated but fairly good as well.Clockwork Orange was a very controversial film when first released because of its graphic sexual content and violence.It was originally rated X but re-rated R after some edits were made.All the DVD versions are the original X-rated version.This film has plenty of nudity even for today's standards.Clockwork Orange is a fairly good film.The acting of the entire cast is very good.Malcom McDowell is the only known member of the cast.The film is about a gang led by a teenager named Alexander Delarge who is by day a student and by night a rapist.Him and his gang,rape and beat up plenty of people.After Alex mistreats his gang they decide to betray him.One day when Alex tries to rape this girl obsessed with cats he accidentally kills her.His gang knocks him out and he is arrested.He stays in jail for about two years but becomes an experiment for this new technique called the Ludovico technique.He must view disturbing film clips related to rape and violence.After some more of this he is cured and he leaves prison.But he finds himself helpless to defend himself from his past.In the beginning of the film you wouldn't feel sorry for Alex because he seemed like a mean rapist and killer.But in the end of the movie you do feel sorry for him somehow.I read the novel a bit before I saw the film.Its pretty faithful to the book except for forgetting the 21st chapter and other small things.A Clockwork Orange is a great film that you should buy.
