Fantastic.

First let me say this much, I've never been a huge fan of movies that invoke a lot of thought, but this movie is an exception. The movie is amazing, not on a material level, but almost on a subconscious level. It's something about the movie that leaves you feeling as you've never felt before. Why? Because the movie is like nothing ever made before. It is a amazingly original. The music and pictures intricately connect with each other in a way that I've never seen before. Alex DeLarge is an incredibly deep and well portrayed character. He is a character that you are currently having to change your viewpoint towards. I don't know what it is, but despite Alex's violence in the beginning of the film, he is not a hated character. You feel almost an indifference to hi min his droogies, almost as if they are mere helpless products of society, with little ability to change the course of their actions. Once the story progresses, however, you start to feel sorry for him as he experiences hardships. He is eager to change, but is constantly struck back by the actions of his past. I wasn't sure what I'd think of the movie before I started watching it, as I have never read the book. The movie however is a clear cut, amazing piece of art work that is hardly rivaled by any other movie. The mood of the movie is an odd juxtaposition of good and evil, an interesting look into the fruits of irresponsible society. Escpecially relevant in today's society.
However, I must warn the movie does contain some graphic violence (including rape) and nudity. If you are sensitive to such things I wouldn't suggest watching the movie.
