Rating: 5.0
A design masterpiece
Narratively, Clockwork Orange is a design masterpiece. Perfectly symmetrical in structure, the scenes in the first half of the movie echo scenes in the second:Alex and his droogs's attack on the beggar is reversed in the second half as the beggar exacts his revenge with the help of his friends; Alex's attack on his droogs is echoed in the second half as they attack him; Alex arrives on the doorstep of the writer F.Alexander's house, this time as a helpless victim and not an aggressor.In the second half, the tables are cinematically turned on the protagonist.As a result, however morally repulsive we might find the film's c violent content, the aesthetic "packaging" draws us in as accomplices.
