My Favorite Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (16 April 2004)

This is without a doubt my favorite movie of all time, how this lost all its Oscar nominations to The French Connection(1971) is beyond my comprehension. The movie is about Alex de Large (played fantastically by Malcolm McDowell in probably his greatest role ever) who enjoys a bit of the old ultraviolence and in-out in-out(which is Nadsat[slang] for sex) with his droogs(friends) Pete, Georgie, and Dim. Eventually Alex gets caught by the police and is brainwashed by the government, so that he feels sick when he wants to commit an act of violence, sex, or even hearing Beethoven(which is his favorite thing to listen to). If you are familiar with Stanley Kubrick, then you are familiar with good cinema and I highly recommend this to any Kubrick fan or any movie lover in general. This movie was originally rated X mainly because of the nudity, although the nudity in this film isn't really pornographic, there are no sex scenes with the exception of the orgy that Alex has with 2 girls, he met at a music store, which is so fast, with the appropriate music in the background, that it seems far from being considered a porno. 10/10
