Rating: 5.0
An Extremely Vivid Vision
A Clockwork Orange is an extremely violent and superbly done film. The story follows Alex as he commits some hideous crimes and, after being caught, participates in a new criminal reform program. It is an amazing film for many reasons, but may not be for everyone.What did I like? It's very well shot and almost feels surreal. The story is thoroughly interesting and immersive. The acts of violence are realistic and powerful, although it can be excessive at times. Also, the acting was great, and the music was amazing. Malcom McDowell was evil, yet he was also charismatic; you hate him most of the time but feel bad for him at some other points in the film.What did I dislike? As I previously stated, the violence was very graphic. I had very mixed feelings about it, especially the rape scenes. It doesn't really affect how much I like the movie though, I think it was intentional to make the movie memorable and powerful. But the violence is worth noting.As you can see, most of the good in this film outweighs the bad. I truly enjoyed it and it's a very memorable experience. I highly recommend you check out A Clockwork Orange, but be prepared for the ultra-violence.This movie has excessive violence, graphic sex, and nudity.
