Viddy Well, Little Brother. Viddy well.
"Clockwork Orange" is definitely a striking film. It unforgettably mixes elements of horror, science fiction and comedy, and still comes off as having a lot of chutzpah. The problem I run into with "Orange" is that we never get a definitive statement about the brain-washing portrayed in the film. The "protagonist" is, after all, a violent convict, and he subjects himself to the strange treatment he receives. Still, this movie is definitely one of the most important ever, as much for its artistic innovation as for the unflinching violence it portrays.
