the message is humanitarian but the movie is itself sick just like some other Kubrick movies

Rating: Null/10 (16 September 2005)

This is Stanley Kubrick! His work of art raises the question but never provides a clear-cut answer! Kubrick is someone who sees progress as an illusion.According to him people are doomed to repeat their own mistakes.So it is about a sick rapist violent delinquent teenager "Alex" who is conditioned against sex and violence in a Pavlovian method.The moral question of the film is that Alex is now "good", after such a an aversion therapy but his ability to choose this has been taken away from him; his "goodness" is as artificial as the clockwork orange of the title. You see the message of the movie is really great. It questions human's power of free-will.It shows us that it doesn2t matter to be good or evil without having a full-power of free-will.Coz the free-will is what makes us different from the other creatures. Well it is just as sick as any other Kubrick movie like "The Shining" or Full Metal Jacket" maybe this is the most over-rated one but this is Kubrick! NO NEED TO MAKE SO MANY COMMENTS! Other than abundant nudity the only deficiency I could find in the movie was the the coincidences. Alex's accidental reunion with the husband of his victim and his old-friends.One coincidence after another! Thiscorrupts the unique message of the movie! If you can't handle abundant nudity don't see this movie! But if you liked Kubrick's other movies it is a must!
