A Clockwork Orange

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2013)

Just one of those movies you can't look away from. It was strange and disturbing, but in an odd way, beautiful. I mean, it was obvious how this managed to tie in with any given political period. It was just so twisted. It was something you felt you had to appreciate. Maybe I'm just looking too far into it, but I remember reading the book and I hated Alex, but at the same time I knew he wasn't to blame. His parents were there, yet they chose not to be present. It was like a brutal car accident, you know? You can't look away even though you know you should. I couldn't stop reading or watching, despite the made up language of Anthony Burgess. I mean, if this is all set in the future, where in the hell did we go wrong?
