A masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (6 April 2012)

This film shows the moral choice one has to be evil or good. The soundtrack (which is beautiful) fits perfectly with Alex's evil mind, but to him seems just a way of life which he enjoys thoroughly and the music isn't dark and evil as what you see on screen. The futuristic slang is slightly confusing but at the same time very clever. Anyone who wants to enjoy this film thoroughly i definitely recommend watching more than once. I started off hating Alex at the beginning but by the end found him rather addictive and feeling sorry for him. After the Ludovico treatment, Alex cannot do any bad without feeling sick and is left with no moral choice. Hence the name 'A Clockwork Orange'. He is merely a man under complete control by the government and is stripped of all the qualities which somehow make him charming. He is definitely the greatest villain of all time as he still has class and is merely a man who has chosen evil over good. This film is a work of art, strange yet realistic. Alex is a 10/10 Kubrick portrayal of the book 10/10 and i am yet to read the book. Powerful from the start to end.
