Rating: 5.0
New vs. Old, Shocking vs. Distasteful
This movie is a great adaptation of the book. Though all the themes are not brought in the movie, it really compares at old politics versus new politics. It also looks at the age old conflict between the youth and the adults. All those who think this movie is extremely violent and it glorifies any kind of violence truly are missing the point. All of the violent images are meant to shock you. Kubrick uses the familiar visuals and sounds to make us uncomfortable and question our own society. It is a brilliant movie that is not for people who can't look beyond the visual representation. Great Film!!
