Why you should really watch A Clockwork Orange...
It has really annoyed me the way the people who don't want you to see this movie call it a glorification of violence. I believe this violence if necessary to show the state of dismay in this not so fictional futuristic society. The purpose of this movie is to satire political figures and the misled scientists who believe that a perfect society is necessary, and that it should even be attempted. Many students, scholars, and authors have written about this. A Clockwork Orange is a movie that everyone should view at least once to see that society should review what politicians they elect, and why educating is so very important. This movie sends a message, but unfortunately this is partially masked by the brutal violence in this movie (note I didn't contradict myself just now, this violence is still necessary). This is a movie you can only view once, but is better that you see it another time to fully understand what the movie is saying. Other films I would recommend that are good satires of "establishments" are Fahrenheit 451 and 1984
