Rating: 5.0
A brilliant spectacle of images and music
A Clockwork Orange is one of my favorite films from my favorite filmmaker, Stanley Kubrick. The film is set in the future, and is a statement on how easily free will can be bent to enforce the law. Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell) is the anti-hero who takes us on an unforgettable journey through his life, filled with Beethoven and the old "ultra-violence". Every night, Alex and his droogs rape and pillage innocent civilians, and every night they elude the hands of the law. Once Alex is finally caught and "brought to justice", so to speak, he embarks on an inner-quest and ultimately loses his rotten soul along with his ability of choosing his own path.
