Kubrick's Masterpiece....
Although all Kubrick's films are briliant, this has to be his finest work. A week or two after finishing the book, I was eager to see the movie made by one of my favorite directors, Stanley Kubrick. I had pretty high expectations, having loved the book and having loved every other Kubrick film I've seen. Well my expectations were fulfilled.A Clockwork Orange is the Story of Alex (Malcolm McDowell), a young teen with a taste for some of the old ultraviolence, and his cronies, Dim, Georgie, and Pete. While out making trouble one night, Alex is arrested, while the rest of the crew escape.While in prison, Alex is used as a guinea pig for a new method of treatment, which is ultimately supposed to stop someone from comitting violent acts by a sort of sensory overload thing with video and music and stuff. It's sort of hard to explain. Well, he's finally released and, well, lets just say his past catches up with him. What goes around comes around, sort of.This classic, controversial film is one of my favorite movies and, as long as your open-minded enough, I think it could become one of your favorites, too. But be warned its definitely not for the weak of heart.A CLOCKWORK ORANGERELEASED IN 1971DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICKSTARRING MALCOLM MCDOWELL, AUBREY MORRIS, JAMES MARCUS, WARREN CLARKE, AND MICHEAL TARNERATED R FOR STRONG SEXUAL CONTENT, NUDITY, STRONG VIOLENCE, AND LANGUAGE
