A Clockwork Orange
In a near-future Britain, young Alexander DeLarge and his pals get their kicks beating and raping anyone they please. When not destroying the lives of others, Alex swoons to the music of Beethoven. The state, eager to crack down on juvenile crime, gives an incarcerated Alex the option to undergo an invasive procedure that'll rob him of all personal agency. In a time when conscience is a commodity, can Alex change his tune?

The Worst Film Ever
That was an excellent one.
hyped garbage
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
I am a big fan of Kubrick and i loved his other works like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket and The Shining. I knew about this film and i really wanted to see it, so i did and i don't really know what my opinion on it is.It's about a teenager named Alex Delarge and he is the leader of his gang known as The Droogs. They commit all kinds of messed up crimes like beating up homeless people, breaking into people's homes and raping women. One day though, his Droogs betray him and he gets caught by the police.He gets sent to prison but is later let out so he could be sent off to an experiment lab where he is given a treatment called The Ludovico Technique, where he is strapped to chair, has his eyes forced open and is made to watch videos of Ultra-Violence and Rape. This ends up curing Alex and he is released. But his family and the public completely disown Alex. He is kicked out of his home and gets attacked by a bunch of homeless men, he then bumps into George and Dim who are now police officers and they attack him also.So Alex's only place left to go is the house that he broke into, where he severely beat up a man and he rapes the man's wife. Apparently, the rape was so horrible that not only did it kill his wife, but it left him crippled and traumatised.A Clockwork Orange is definitely one of those movies that you should probably watch only once, because you'll see it and you'll probably only want to see it once. I loved it but i think once is enough.
Simply the most perfect movie ever made. I have watched ACO dozens of times and it just keeps getting better
The dark humor, sharp imagery, and brilliant framing and atmospheric lighting make this one of Kurbick's best and strangest pieces of art. No matter how strange it is, it's without a doubt a masterpiece.
Both Stanley Kubrick and Malcolm McDowell at one point in their lives regretted making this film. Kubrick found out that this film was causing gangs to form in the UK and the US, and even tried to stop the film's distribution. Yet years before this movie West Side Story also inspired young folks to form clubs/gangs inspired by The Jets. Besides beyond the ultra violence of Alex and his droogs this movie indeed has special meaning as a story about experimental rehabilitation and its results.
