kubrick's most under-appreciated film

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2005)

When it was first released, a great deal of critical ink was spilled over this film. Over the years,however,the interest this film once generated has died. Even hardcore Kubrick fans rarely discuss it anymore. This should change. Not only is this Kubrick's most beautifully filmed movie(love those reds),but thematically it's also his most complete. Everyone of his themes,from man's dehumanization by systematized means to the threat of complete annhilation are here. It's worth a second look and greater appreciation. Also,another reason to reevaluate this film is because in todays world we still don't see much change from the stylish hypocrisy abounding in this film.Sort of Kubrick's way of telling us that no matter how much things change,etc..
