A Channel for Kubricks Genius
This movie is great not because its a cool movie but because of how it shows Kubrick's genius better than any of his other films. The very fact that Kubrick uses unknown young actors and still makes the film great speaks for itself. The fact that Kubrick has done it in just about all his films is proof. The movie itself is great and very worthy of being watched more than one time. I was swept away when i saw it and i realized that the torture that Alex was going through was alot like what our convicted criminals go through. After he was brainwashed, Alex was as good as dead in the outside world. It mimicked how our criminals are kept safe in their prisons which we furnish with our tax money whereas in the outside world they would not survive. Another aspect of the films greatness is the outlandish dress. It shows that our generations youth are dressing like adults in Derby hats and the adults are turning into kids with childish dress habits and colored hair. He was obviously trying to show how the youth have too much oppurtunity to act as if they were higher than adults. This film could also scare anyone out of being bad. If this is what punishment truly was then we probably wouldn't have too many people misbehaving anymore. So my point is: see the movi and you wll walk away more knowledgeable about why our present day society is the way it is. Kubrick forsaw the uture and told everyone aboput it in this film so pay attention when you watch it!
