Kubrick pushes the social boundaries and changes cinema forever with his film "A Clockwork Orange"

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2013)

WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!
A Clockwork Orange, directed by Stanley Kubrick starring a young Malcolm McDowell as Alex De Large. A teenager who is obsessed with rape, ultra violence and Beethoven's 9th, so in other words, one really f**ked up teenager.
This movie was considered a very controversial movie back in 1971 when it came out but, now a days it's not considered as controversial as it was back then. At this point we've seen and heard things a million times worse than this, not saying it takes anything away from the movie, I'm just pointing this out.
Anyways, one of the things I feel this movie did really well, was having you sympathize with Alex later in the movie. At the beginning of the movie when watching Alex do all these terrible things you just keep thinking to yourself, "What the hell is wrong with him?" but, later in the movie when all these bad things start happening to him and he's just totally helpless and unable to defend himself you become completely oblivious to what he's done to these people in the past. And rather than thinking that he deserves what's happening to him you feel really bad for him, you actually want him to go back to being his rapist, ultra-violent self.
I think the one person you have to give the credit to for making this movie so great is Stanley Kubrick. At this point it's no secret that Stanley Kubrick was an amazing director, he can be argued as the greatest director of all time. It's also no secret that Stanley Kubrick was unorthodox when it can to his directing style.
A Clockwork Orange definitely was one of those movies that just changed cinema, it pushed the social boundaries and made you question yourself for liking it. Without this movie and other Kubrick movies such as Lolita great movies such as Taxi Driver probably would have never been made because of how controversial they were.
So all in all this movie was amazing, it changed cinema forever and pushed the social boundaries.
