Too far away from the book

Rating: 6/10 (29 October 2002)

The book takes the (ultra-)violance in its focus, while the movies does the same with the sexual aspects. Perhaps this has to do with the cirsumstances when Stanley produces this movie...Flower Power...
So I was a little disappointed because people will get a wrong impression about the book, when they just see the movie. Also the ending didn't say that much as the text does (to be a little piece of a clockwork and have its fixed place, take place in the normal way/circle of life and so on).
But perhaps it was the right thing, when Stanley made the movie less brutal than the book... otherwise he would have produced a ultra-hard splatter/horror picture or as Alex always said: "a real horrorshow" ;-)
