The most influential film in cinematic history.

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2020)

I suspect you won't get too many disapproval's to the above title. It indeed comes from the director, with possibly the strongest back-catalog of movies and tackling a multitude of genres (across the board). The clothing, style and attitude was five million miles away from 2001 but it's intrinsically related, far more than you think. The genius of Stanley.K, has been celebrated by many (and through out the decades) and for me most evident with this real, violent and most beautiful horror show. 'A Clockwork Orange' pulls no punches and shocks the audience into a strange but stark reality. Kubrick got the very best performances from his selected actors and Malcom MacDowell, was arguably tops. Another smart move (by the director) was to let this charismatic young star, improvise in character. The most memorable scene is Alex, bursting into the song 'I'm Singing in the Rain', which he states, he made up on the spot. A little dated now perhaps but a 10 all day long.
