Rating: 5.0
The masterpiece of the Master.
I saw this video two times before I read the book, and I thought that I understand all; I don't speak about the realization because it's clearly the best I've ever seen (I think it's difficult that I will see one better). The book filled the gaps that the film left on my mind: after finishing it, you will understand the deep metaphor of the book. The story speaks of Alex, a 16 years old that chose to vote his life to evil. The films points the attention on the facts of the life of Alex, but under the surface we can easily understand the metaphor of the mdern society, in which no one is free, because we can't really choose between the good and the evil, because if you want to choose the evil you are considered an "outlow". For this reason the man is considered like a "clockwork orange", a natural creature that can works only in a mechanical one-way (of being good), without the real possibility of chosing freely between the two contrasting part of our soul. I've tried to explain it, but if you are interested in it, read the book !
