A Clockwork Orange
A Clockwork OrangeStanly Kubrick's bizaare film about the nature of justice and humanity has gone down in the history books as a classic of cinema, by how much of it's reputation is down to the film itself and how much of it is due to the media frenzy it casued and its subsequent withdrawel from the cinemas? While this certainly helped, A Clockwork Orange is a very good film in it's own right. It contains several scenes of graphic violence and nudity, by the media was wrong to claim that it glorifies violence, which it does not. In fact the majority of violence is over within the first 20 minutes or so. Despite it's long length and the fact hat it occassionanly drags a bit, Kubrick's brilliant eccentricity gives this film a fascinating edge, and the storyline is effective in showing the film's powerful moral.8 out of 10.
