Concerning Ed Greer on May 1st, 2002
It's sad the way the guy on May 1st, 2002, "Ed Greer" or so he calls himself, rips apart this movie by pointing out all the different details of the movie, like Beethoven's 9th, the fact that there's little to no blood the whole movie, etc. to justify his limited view of such a great movie. And he bashes on Kubrick like no other for it. Maybe Eddie-baby is too stupid or ignorant to realize that this movie is based on a book of the same name written by Anthony Burgess in the early 60's? Most of those choices like the music weren't Kubrick's to make!Anyway, this is one of the greater movies in my opinion, based on one of the greatest books. Interesting how A. Burgess apparently didn't like the book he wrote (revealed in his foreward to the book)...also interesting is just about everything else, like the title, a British expression, and how Kubrick left the last chapter, where Alex starts growing up, out of his cinematic interpretation of the book. I highly recommend both book and movie for anyone, but don't be expecting a light read or watch -- especially the book is for people with strong guts only!
