Great Movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 July 2006)

Though many people may argue that Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is vulgar and disgusting movie, I have found it to be a very entertaining and thrilling movie. Though I do admit the first half hour of the movie is brutal and graphic, it still manages to be very entertaining.
One of the reasons why the movie is so well done is due to the beautiful directing of Stanley Kubrick. I watched the movie very recently and i was stunned to think that something like this was done 35 years ago. Kubrick was always considered a perfectionist in the art of cinema and it definitely shows in this film. The visuals and the art-direction are breath-takingly fabulous.
Another thing that's great about this movie Malcolm Mcdowell's chilling portrayal of Alex de Large (the main character in the film). From beginning to end Mcdowell does an amazing job of sending chills down your spine.
Although the French Connection was a very good movie, in my opinion this film should have won the Oscar for that year. When William Friedkin(director of The French Connection) accepted the award that year for best direction he said, "Speaking Personally, i think Stanley Kubrick is the best American Filmmaker of the year. In fact, not this year but period."
Overall, this is a great film and it should not be ignored (although it may not be appropriate for small children). I highly recommend you see, it if you haven't already
