Amazing cinematic work

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2013)

I have to admit that I'm becoming a Stanley Kubrick movie's fan. I just watch this movie because I had heard a lot about it, like one of the best movies and also because I found "A Space Odyssey" an amazing movie, surprising, different, unique. So I gave it a try and I must say I do not regret it. Although this isn't a new movie, with all the special effects that we are presented nowadays, the plot is great, it's very fresh, different from what I'm used to see and for me that is always awesome. Another fantastic thing about this movie it's the soundtrack. It's amazing how Beethoven can transform a horribly violent scene into something still violent but classy (not that violence becomes acceptable, but the scenes don't get vulgar, trashy and for someone like me, who isn't a fan of violent movies, that is quite good). Then there's Alex, which for me is one of the most charismatic characters I've ever seen. He has no sense, no good, he's evil, a psychopath, but a very unique one. The performance of Malcolm McDowell is simply amazing! So if you like movies about crime, violence but with some message, some lesson about society and with a classy touch this is very indicated. It doesn't get boring and you realize that society didn't change so much since the time the movie was made: we still search for the best way to threat a criminal and the cynicism from our minister to just look good no matter what it's still there too. Short story I loved the movie and I most certainly recommend it.
