Product: A Clockwork Orange (1972)
Rating: 5.0
WATCH IT!
This movie was disturbing in ways... humurous, thought-provoking.. but all in all, fantastic. It isn't the actual violence itself that makes this movie disturbing, it's the almost glorification of it... the portrayal of how Alex Delarge sees it and fancies it... and his treatment in the "experiments". The images from this movie are still with me, they run deep... the one image that will never leave me is when he is propped up in that chair thing, with his eyes held open, and how he just screams... man oh man.. good stuff. I think a strong minded 14 year old could appreciate this sort of thing... if he's over his whole violence is cool phase. Hmmm... if you have a low attention span don't watch this.... BUT if you are just getting into Kubrick films I would start with this one... it will make you appreciate "2001: A Space Odyssey" more, because "A Clockwork Orange"'s inner message type thing is MUCH easier to get... on could analyze 2001 forever.
