Product: A Clockwork Orange [VHS] (1972)
Rating: 5.0
This movie is not for everybody, but that's kinda the point
"A Clockwork Orange" is kind of like a Rorschach test, everyone seems to see it differently, some people love it, others hate it, and even the one's who love it find it incredibly disturbing, but the best way I can think to describe it it this...There's a scene in the film where Malcolm McDowell's character volunteers to be subjected to a series of mind altering images displayed on a movie screen, and if "you" choose to watch Clockwork Orange? You're basically volunteering to be subjected to a series of mind altering images, not everyone enjoys the experience, but no one ever forgets the imagesI've seen it a few times, and i always have to laugh at parts of it, not always because it's funny, but more like a kind of defense mechanism, a sort of nervous laughter, like "oh my god I can't believe what I'm seeing". And this movie has the most twisted "happy?" ending very put on film-- so if you've never seen it, consider yourself warned.Aside form the movie the the extras are great, and Malcolm McDowell's commentary track is the best insight into Kubrick creative process I've ever heard anywhere.
