Don't Believe your Friends

Rating: 9/10 (24 December 1998)

I watched "A Clockwork Orange" for the first time an all I can say is "brilliant"! I had some friends that told me this movie was stupid and pointless, so I had to see it for myself. To me, the movie was a commentary on retribution. Alex angered his gang with his condescending, arrogant attitude. They in turn, got him sent to prison to suffer (retribution for being a jerk). The people in prison wanted him to suffer through the "experiment" (retribution for his crimes). When he got out, all of the people he had wronged wanted their revenge. All in all, I thought it to be an excellent film and one worth watching (If you can handle the violence and nudity).
