Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
This is the full screen
In response to the comment that this is letterboxed... After 2001 Kubrick shot all of his films with a standard 3:4 television ratio, and they are often cut to make them widescreen in a theatre. What you are seeing is actually the full screen version. So please ignore the comment on here complaining that it is letterbox. I believe Clockwork is in a slightly wider format that 3:4, although it is possible that it also (like full metal jacket, the shining, eyes wide shut, etc) was supposed to be 3:4 and has been here restored. After you get used to it, I think in most cases it is preferable. It is frustrating for those of us that have widescreen tv's, though. If you're curious about the quality of the film, read the hundreds of reviews, or don't, because it's already established as a brilliant film, so take it or leave it. Anyways, being a philistine is cool.
