A Masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2014)

In 1971, Stanley Kubrick released a masterpiece. A masterpiece that goes by the name of A Clockwork Orange.
Malcolm McDowell plays Alex DeLarge, a young delinquent with a love for violence and suffering. He, along with his loyal Droogs, Dim, Pete and Georgie go around at night committing heinous crimes which include rape, beatings and thievery. These crimes are fueled by drug infused milk called milk-plus, which gets them ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
Along his way, Alex loses the loyalty of his droogs and he gets arrested after committing a crime which is to leave him in jail for the majority of his life. He gets lucky and is signed off as a test subject for the new Ludovico technique which is supposed to make a bad man... good.
The technique has it's problems though, of course, but I am not going to spoil anything for those who haven't seen this yet.
A Clockwork Orange is a fantastically acted film, with beautiful cinematography and music. It has a brilliant plot which plays on real-life morals and issues and is very re-watchable, original and intuitive. It is every definition of the word masterpiece and if you haven't yet watched it then I definitely recommend that you do.
Just be aware that this isn't family friendly. At all.
