Kubrick Escapes Rules
In aHollywood often censoring itself in order to achieve family morals, its a truly different experience to view such a picture as Clockwork Orange which breaks the rules usually asscociated with filmaking in the big-budget venacular. Kubrick has created a film unallowing value to be diminished by notions held by a portion of the viewing audience. This spectacular satire on futuristic crime and punishment does not fear crossing the invible line drawn by so-called good taste. This is why many are turned off by the rape scenes and depiction of a genualy sick charachter. I simply ask those watching to look beyond this,hence discovering the true merit of the picture. This merit being Kubrick's meatphor-ridden, multi-interpreted, irony deliverying saga relavent in many ways to our current society. I also commend Kubrick's ability to create a genuine piece of work on an entirely different level than the book on which "A Clockwork Orange" was based.
