A Clockwork Orange

 

A Clockwork Orange is Stanley Kubrick’s ninth film which was released February 2nd 197. A Clockwork Orange won the best film of 1971 from New York Critic Film Awards. This film  has a very morbid comedic feel and when you see the subjects it gets into you may hesitate to watch the movie (especially women).

This movie is very strange but the irony and the directing of the movie is just absolutely amazing. This movie goes into a vast variety of subjects ranging from rap to mind control that I thought I would never see in one movie but in this movie I saw it and it keep you in awe the whole two and a half hours. I honestly can not compare this movie to any other It is very unique and the direct must have a very strange mind to think about this concept, but the way he put it together it is brilliant. The movie leaves you with a great impression of “what goes around, comes around”.

This movie portrays a group of violent kids based in a futuristic Britain and the main character who seems like the leader of the group, Alex, go on these sprees murdering, beating, and raping random innocent people for example they go around knocking on the door asking people to use their phone, saying someone is hurt and the person opens the door and they run in raping and beating the victims just for their own pleasure. Then a problem happens between the group and Alex and the group knocks him out right after a murder causing Alex to go to prison for murder and rape while in prison Alex agrees to the government research program that will make non evil with a few phsycological tests and he is released from prison after that and as I said before the audience and Alex learn “what goes around, comes around”

A Clockwork Orange is about the climax and the downfall of Alex. Through every diabolical moment throughout the movie there is a sense of beauty whether its the colors he uses, the camera angles he uses, and especially the music. The music is one of the best characteristics Kubrick put in this movie, the music he puts inside the movie is very ironic during scenes of raping or hurting someone their is always classical music or uprising music for example Singing in the Rain, 9th Symphony, William Tell Overture, Pomp And Circumstance No. 1 In D Major, and many more.

Stanley Kubrick created a movie that portrays the vast variety and the mystery of morality. For this movie it really demand to keep a tight hold on things and be ready for a lot of explicit disorienting viewings all for the cause of a great experience. :)

I rate this movie a 9/10
