My all time favorite!

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 2006)

Let me just start by saying that Stanley Kubrick is my all time favorite director. He is the Michael Jordan of films. Clockwork Orange is by far one of his finest films. If you are a fan of the book, you will be very happy with SK's interpretation of it. It is hard to say why a person would like a film like this. Most people would tend to not like a person like Alex, but for some reason, people like seeing violence on the big screen. A movie like this takes you to a darker side that everyone has thought about going to. The movie is explained in the title. Clockwork Orange. Clockwork is mechanical, an orange is organic. The words are opposite of each other. The first half of the movie is the complete opposite of the last half. Alex inflicts pain on society in the beginning, and in the end, the role of Alex completely switches in the opposite direction. It is a great story that asks the question, "If man has good imposed upon him, does he cease to be a man?". I give this movie my highest rating of 10/10. This is the movie that every film buff must see!
