Movie Reviews of A Clockwork Orange
Movie Review: Violent, lyrical, psychological, beautiful, frightening
Summary: 5 Stars
This is film is terrific, but I just wanted to point out something i noticed in the scene when Alex is presented to an audience as being cured. The Chancellor stands in the left part of the screen, Alex slouches in the middle and the Padre stands in the right. I'm reading Freud in class now, and I just noticed that what you have with that composition is the ego, the id and the superego. Respectively, the chancellor, (ego, the responsibility of one to obey the rules, Alex (pure id, acts on animal instinct) and the Padre, (super-ego, does what is morally right). I just wanted to share this with anyone who doubts that Kubrick movies operate on many different levels.Movie Review: Gorgeousness and Gorgeousity Made Flesh
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the single most brilliant film ever made. Anyone who says otherwise is too brainwashed to watch it. Kubrick was an absolute genius in the style of the movie. Even though it is filled with violence and sex, there is only one a single swear word in the entire movie. All of the rest of the dialogue is in a beautifully poetic jargon created by Burgess. It is also a allusion to Plato's allagory of the cave, in how Alex can not face the world after his ability to act in a way that is natural to him. The most important thing to remimber when watching this movie is to have an open mind. If you truely do, then your mind will stay open forever.Movie Review: Scathing, Brilliant and Eerie
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful send-up of what has become the Future. Kubrick's deep sarcasm still haunts after 30 years, and the film's powerful imagery lingers. I find it disingenuous that the prudish would chastise this movie for its 'excesses.' Really; what is more vulgar, a serious, literate divigation into the realm of violence and its aftermath, or the ultraviolent titillation of, say, your typical Schwarzenegger or Stallone or Van Damme flick? The desensitizing of violence in those kinds of movies is truly horrifying; what is found here is infinitely more interesting and compassionate.
In all regards, a masterpiece.
Movie Review: Kubrick's Masterpiece and one of my Top 5
Summary: 5 Stars
If a less-than-glowing review of this film is owed to its extreme violence, the person condemning is missing the point. This film is _supposed_ to be hard to watch; you are _supposed_ to be repelled. Kubrick's genius here manifests in casting this ickiness against a breathtaking production...unparalleled art direction, simultaneously futuristic and gothic 1971, and a soundtrack that my parents played so much back in the '70s that it taught me to love Beethoven. The DVD version is very pretty!...a true "art film", this movie was ripe for re-digitizing. Time to retire my video....Movie Review: one of the all time greats
Summary: 5 Stars
okay I understand that most of you who review this movie have seen it 14 billion times but I've only seen it about ten times. But enough of that. This movie is hands down one of the greatest movies of all time. You cannot catorgorize it. Is it horror, sci-fi, drama? There is, was and never will be another film like it. As a matter of fact I am watching the movie as I am writing this review. So if you've never seen this movie. Go to your video store and rent it. After you see it you'll want to buy it for sure.
