Rating: 5.0
Way ahead of it's time and a great classic
The futuristic settings that are laughable by today's standards set the scene for a Kubrick masterpiece. This film was very controversial and as a result, alot of people turned their noses up at it. What a shame, as the story is as relevant now even more so as it was back then. We see the breakdown of society where young hoodlums prey upon the old and weak. The government must decide what to do about the crime and the solution they come up with should scare the daylights out of any thinking person; mind control/manipulation. Kubrick's masterful use of classical music throughout enhanced this unforgettable film. The acting is superb, Malcolm McDowell is at his sinister best and the message the film sends us better wake us up before it's too late.
