A Clockwork Orange

I really love this movie I think it's so great.

 

I also enjoy it.

 

I really love this movie too, and the book.
My friend and I even dressed up like Alex for school once.
But I didn't have a hat.:/

 

this is a great movie, i own a copy myself.

 

Havent bought it yet, but will soon! Great movie!

 

All of Kubrick's movies are awesome. Just watched Barry Lyndon this weekend, definitely different than his other shit, but the cinematography is amazing. I love it in Clockwork Orange when he beats the woman with the huge penis.

 

I got all of Kubrick's movies, my fav is Dr. Strangelove by far

I enjoy when he beats the old lady with the penis sculpture

 

I saw this film for the first time a few years ago when It was granted a release on videotape (Stanley Kubrick refused to allow it to be issued on videotape while he was alive).I thought it was an entertaining film but very 'sensationalist' & not up to the director's high standard.
It was banned in Britain in 1972 by many local authorities up & down the country.S - K had it withdrawn from distribution after he received looney 'death threats' & even decided to move house;fearing for the safety of his family.
The central juvenile deliquent: 'Alex' is about 15 years old in Anthony Burgess's novel so Malcolm McDowall was a bit older than the character was meant to be.
Incidentially 'The Rolling Stones' considered appearing in a film version of 'A Clockwork Orange' as far back as 1965.Guess who would have played 'Alex'!!!.

 

I really enjoy the soundtrack. It goes non-stop throughout the whole thing, and compliments the action so brilliantly!
My fav scenes:

The first pan-out of Alex and his droogs in the milkbar.

Alex beating Dim for being rude to the singer in the milkbar.

The record store, where the album covers of Kubricks '2001: A Space Odyssey', the Beatles 'Magical Mystery Tour', and Pink Floyd's 'Atom Heart Mother' can clearly be seen.

Alex beating George and Dim on the waterfront.

The murder of the cat lady: "Well to be perfectly honest with you madam, I'm taking part in an international students contest, to see who can get the most points for selling magizines."

The aversion therapy.

Alex returning home to his tortured parents.

The entire sequence at the writers home, were Alex tries to kill himself.

All in all, brilliant filmmaking, with a superb performance from McDowell.

 

ya go to the milkbar than all set for a little ulta-violence

 

book is fuckloads better

 

Thats usually the case

 

I saw the movie a few times then read the book, then re-read the book a couple days later it was so good. In short, if you liked the movie at all, be sure to read the book.

 

yeah well i have only seen the movie once. and i didnt really even get to finish it but from what i saw it was really good. but somewhat confusing. im going to finish it soon tho.

i also wanna read the book now.

 

I found the movie boring as fuck. And beacuse of that I am discouraged to read the book.

 

don't be really
the book is far more interesting than the movie
I've still never finished the movie, but I've read the book twice

 

i hate when peolpe conpare moives to books.

movie was good in all forms. nothing really top the feeling that this movie brings me threw.

 

Amazing movie. Love the accents and their own kind of language goin on. "I've got a pain in me gulliver mum." The soundtrack is great. I own a copy, it still makes me almost die with laughter. Like near the end where he is being fed in the hospital. Oh and "Sorry love, no time for the old in-out, I'm just reading the meter". Yeah it would be one of my favourites.

 

the only feeling I got from this movie was boredom, and a cramp, but that was more or less the way I was lying's fault

you probably only hate when peolpe conpare moives to books because you can't understand books
I get the feeling that you shouldn't have gotten 'threw' fifth grade

 

Amazing movie, but the book is way better. Especially the british version which had an extra chapter, which was eventually released over here.
