Youth Violence

Rating: 7/10 (18 June 2011)

A Clockwork Orange is a futuristic look into life and mind a fifteen-year-old boy named Alex. Alex is a disturbed troubled young man whose appetite for violence leads him down a path of crime and utterly sinful violence. A Clockwork Orange takes place in a pre-futuristic British society Alex play by actor Malcolm McDowell leads a gang of misfit criminals Dim (Warren Clarke), and Georgie (James Marcus). The film is uniquely witty with its British humoristic dialect. This is truly a film of coming of age gone wrong. By the end of the film it left me wandering if Alex learned anything from his experiences or were the experience that Alex goes through meant to reach the audience in hope that they learn from Alex. A brilliant colorful take on adolescence and violence I really enjoyed the film.
