Kubrick Simply Rules
A classic "antihero" film; there's no reason to root for Malcolm McDowell's character, but you do, in an odd way. Though he's thoroughly despicable, his manipulation by the government (twice) makes him a sympathetic character of sorts.this is really a satire on how governments tend to spin situations to their own benefit. As satire, it is perfect. It may be too disturbing for some viewers, and is not appropriate for young people.
