Rating: 5.0
Violent, lyrical, psychological, beautiful, frightening
This is film is terrific, but I just wanted to point out something i noticed in the scene when Alex is presented to an audience as being cured. The Chancellor stands in the left part of the screen, Alex slouches in the middle and the Padre stands in the right. I'm reading Freud in class now, and I just noticed that what you have with that composition is the ego, the id and the superego. Respectively, the chancellor, (ego, the responsibility of one to obey the rules, Alex (pure id, acts on animal instinct) and the Padre, (super-ego, does what is morally right). I just wanted to share this with anyone who doubts that Kubrick movies operate on many different levels.
