cinephile-27690 Critics don't always say the right thing. Roger Ebert gave it 2/4 stars and yet it has a 8.3 here and it got nominated for Best Picture. I saw this and felt uneasy for a lot of it. The movie focuses on a man who rapes women for pleasure. There are numerous nude scenes and therefore it earned an X rating upon original release. But the movie makes you think about morality and therefore has importance. My only real problem is that I could not hear it well and I needed to use subtitles-but maybe that's just me. Mature audiences should check this movie out.

Arthur Vaiselbuh I found the movie boring, pointless display of cruelty and violence, scene after scene, without any good reason or conclusion for the film to come to. No development of any of the characters, and the film circles back right to where you start from 2 hours earlier.

lewislikesskating Clockwork orange is a film about a young man that's interests include rape/ultra violence and Beethoven's 9th. A clockwork orange has the message that if we all are like Alex is in the second half of the movie that is extremely sensitive/defenslees we all will be like a bunch of oranges. By far Kubrick best movie and what I consider to be the greatest movie ever made.

Pasan Jayasinghe (pasanjayasinghe) Undoubtedly one of the best movies of all time. Another one of Kubrick's works of modern cinema art. This is the type of movie that makes more and more sense given the number of times you watch it. Everything about this movie is almost indefectible. The plot, acting, direction and the cinematography. Just perfect.Yes, this movie is very well known for it's horrifying violence and sexual depictions but the deep meaning behind all that is plain cold and dull for one to just simply accept. Alex, the main protagonist. The one character even us the audience have a hard time choosing what to feel about. In a futuristic society where everything's ruled and corrupted by violence and sex, Even though being a criminal, Alex is in a sense just someone who's trying to get along and just survive. However all his actions led himself to a point where the state itself had to brainwash him. Which ultimately made him nothing but an emotionless body of flesh and blood. Even after 47 years this movie being released, this still very well depicts the situation of our current society. A shame indeed. Where it is also a corrupted and perverted system where the core values which drives us are nothing but, money, pleasure and power. That in any case we messed up, we will never be really "forgiven" for whatever it is that we've done. We'll just be a boulder rolling down a steep hill doing nothing but falling down. Our path, actions and motives. Everything will be then controlled by the "people upstairs". Just like the ending of the movie. Alex is alive and well but everything he's doing then are really just orders from the authorities. He is flesh and blood on the outside but merely mechanical on the inside. He is "a clockwork orange".
