A Clockwork Orange
After reading several reviews of this wonderful flick I have concluded that the reviewers that disliked it are either unaware that is was a satire or don't know what a satire is. A satire is a " An artistic work in which human voice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit." ( American Heritage Dictionary) Both this movie and the book were done as a satire of the humam race and government control. I will agree that the violence is graphic but that adds to the movie and tells its story better. This is most certainly not a movie meant for everyone. I would suggest that people read the book before they read the movie so they can understand what Anthony Burgess and Stanly Kubrick were trying to do.
