Summary: The mental rape on a rapist by society
Review: Society seeks to control the essecence of people via mind control using behavior modification techniques of adversion theraphy.Are we so far from this film's message? Just watch the coverage of our evening news and the producer's of what we have now the blending of "news" and entertainment,brought by the good folks of the liberal community!

Summary: Greatest movie ever!!!!!!!
Review: This is the most phenomenal movie ever made. The acting is spectacular and the way Stanley Kubrick directed it was icing on the cake. It might be too shocking for some but its definitely REAL.

Summary: Kubrick Overreaches In Tale Of Young Thug In Future
Review: In all honesty, I wanted to give Clockwork Orange zero stars, but there can be no denying the effectiveness of Malcolm McDowell's performance or of Stanley Kubrick's presentation. They present the film's story with tremendous effect.Therein lies what makes the film horrible. McDowell plays Alex, a thug who spends his days raping, robbing, and otherwise violating the lives of innocent people. He is arrested and subjected to a government experiment to make thugs into clockwork oranges - drugs and hypnosis rob Alex of his aggression and make him repelled by sexuality, and thus unable to commit any further crimes. But the experiment blows up in the face of the government; by robbing Alex of his aggression, they've also robbed him of his ability to defend himself, so when his victims come calling, you don't have to imagine the vengeance they exact. Thus horrified, the government turns Alex back to his normal degenerate self. There is supposed to be a moral lesson here, but we're not sure what it is. Kubrick establishes Alex as a worthless punk, but we are meant to be more horrified that he would be made docile and thus unable to defend himself when his victims get even with him. Provocative, yes, but such a theme also insults the viewer's intelligence; why should we sympathize with a man who deserves to be brutalized? Is Kubrick against the idea of punishment of criminals? The film earns brownie points for looking at its subject with audacity, but ultimately fails because of a very real moral illiteracy.

Summary: You'll never be the same...
Review: I rented this movie about 14 years ago and I have never been the same. I have never thought of classical music the same or the UK. This movie was made in 71' but it could have been made in 2005. Brilliant Kubrick..Really says a lot about society.

Summary: Surreal and disturbing societal study.
Review: Amazing surreal study of societal ignorance of who's at fault when a person 'goes wrong'. It's visually stunning - brilliant in every way. Although disturbing, it's one of the greatest movies of all time.

Summary: a film unlike no other
Review: I am not praising this film because Kubrick made it. But how can one ignore the cinematic qualities of this masterful film. A Clockwork Orange achieves what no other film has ever done and that's to get as close as possible to telling a story in a motion picture entirely in the subjective first person point of view. Now whether it achieved it or not, is not the point here. What is the point is that Kubrick succeeded in gracing us with a cinematic point of view so intimate and subjective to the main character, that all else really doesn't matter. Through a cinematic view point, A Clockwork Orange is simply a Masterpiece. As an aspiring filmmaker, I only hope to contribute to cinema with at least half of what Stanley Kubrick has.

Summary: a very uneven movie
Review: Even though there were occasional brilliances, I kept asking myself why so many people found this movie great. I found the story very incoherent and everything was excessive. It was full of overacting and overdirecting. There are some stories to which movies just can't do justice. I'd rather read the book than watch this movie version. I think people should stop justifying this film only because Kubrik made it.

Summary: What this film says to us in 1999.
Review: The brilliance of Clockwork Orange lies in the manner in which it boldly illustrates the destructive potential of our own society - right up to the point of no return.Those failing to see past the sadistic mentalities of Alex and his droogs are surely being challenged by Kubrick to broaden their scope.It is within the latter half of the film where the more urgent themes of the many within it start to reveal themselves.The manipulations of an ill-directed government,desperate to stem a plague of the most brutal crime,are the most glaring.Whilst not necessarily presenting solutions,Kubrick provides us with stark scenarios.The most discomforting aspect,above all graphic depictions of rape,violence,the institutionalisation of Alex and his subsequent vulnerability(leading to,in my mind,the film's most horrifying visual imagery)is the idea of just how familiar this society is to our own.It may be set in the future,but just how far is anyone's guess.

Summary: New vs. Old, Shocking vs. Distasteful
Review: This movie is a great adaptation of the book. Though all the themes are not brought in the movie, it really compares at old politics versus new politics. It also looks at the age old conflict between the youth and the adults. All those who think this movie is extremely violent and it glorifies any kind of violence truly are missing the point. All of the violent images are meant to shock you. Kubrick uses the familiar visuals and sounds to make us uncomfortable and question our own society. It is a brilliant movie that is not for people who can't look beyond the visual representation. Great Film!!

Summary: BUY IT!!!!!
Review: I found it! I thought about it! I bought it! I watched it! I like it! I feel sorry for the poor people that cheer at violence, but, this movie is so much more. This is a pure 70's anti-future film. This is a hard view of a sick future of the past. Who would have thought that the Transcriptor turntable would have lasted so long? I got one too! Do you like violence? Go commit some on yourself! Do you like good movies? BUY THIS ONE!
