A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
Stanley Kubrick's A CLOCKWORK ORANGE was at the time a controversial motion picture. The dirctor withdrew it until its re-release in 2000, a year after his death.While many audiences consider the film a masterpiece, I consider the film rather poor. Malcolm McDowell's performance is over the top, no doubt about it.Alexander 'Alex' DeLarge is a vicious teenager in a violent future. At nights, he takes part in many repulsive events including rape and murder. However, after turning on his friends many time, they claim revenge and leave him to the police. Alex if forced to undergoe horrific experiments designed to brainwash him and remove his free will.I fail to understand why the film impresses many people, and it is likely that I will never.
