I'll tell you why...

Rating: Null/10 (13 January 2001)

I'll tell you why so many people hate this movie and see it as senseless violence. It is because kubrick uses the audience to his own end. Kubrick said, I will make you feel bad for this violent miscreant, and you all felt bad for him. When he was being drowned by his former droogs you thought this was uncalled for, when he was attacked by that mob by the guy who only wanted to know if our young alex could "spare some cutter" you felt it was unfair for him. He had been reformed, he was "one of us now." But of course he never was. He was a young violent thug who never was mentally reformed. He had the want but couldn't do the deed. And when you saw him come back to the forefront at the end, as evil and violent and when the Ludwig Van came out, that beautiful music and this horrific violent thing was shaking hands, you relized how bad you yourself really was. And Kubrick did his job.
