Rating: 5.0
Welly, welly, well, my little droogies!
I've seen this movie a zillion times, and there are several reasons why I never get tired of watching this Kubrick masterpiece. First, the film's weird plot is very inventive and dynamic. Second, the characters, and that rather strange dialogue they use, which Kubrick refers to as Nasdat (please don't ask me abot that one!). Third, get a load of those costumes and disguises Alex and his droogs wear! Fourth, the infamous rape scene (which turns some people off), which I won't care to elaborate further, and fifth, "A Clockwork Orange" was filmed in Jolly Olde England (you just gotta love those British accents!). Granted, when I first saw this movie some years ago, to be quite honest, I couldn't make heads or tales of what was going on! That's the beauty of watching a Stanley Kubrick masterpiece, in that he doesn't insult the average viewer's intelligence, so he leaves the viewer to use his or her own imagination as to why the nature of the plot in question occurred. So, there you have it. If this review doesn't persuade you to purchase this rather unique visual work of art, then I don't know what else to tell you, except to add "A Clockwork Orange" to your video library. Now, would someone please give me directions to the Korova Milk Bar?
