Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
Great but misunderstood film
Being a highschool student I know lots of people that consider A Clockwork Orange to be a great film. As a matter of fact they consider it to be #$%@$# awesome! Sadly this has to be one of the most misunderstood films of all time, along with Fight Club. Although not all teens are like this many unfortunately are. When a film that questions government control over people, and what it means to be good is known for the scene in which that "chick gets raped" or "that old guy gets beat up" there's something wrong. Kubrick does a great job of pulling off a story that would turn off many people. The directing is impeccable as is the rest of the film. The DVD for the film doesn't quite live up to expectations. The picture quality is subpar and the sound is decent. For a film of such cultural value you would expect better. Hopefully the upcoming rerelease will be a little better.
