Summary: Incredible
Review: As the reveiw above say, it does it all. The movie is incredible. If you have any intrest in any of Stanely Kubric's or Dannon Asnofsky's (sp?) then you'll enjoy this.

Summary: Surreal nightmare
Review: A disturbing, cynical, repulsive tale that illustrates the futility of the human condition in technicolor. It's horror is more suggestive than graphic, but it certainly does the job. You shouldn't watch this with your parents, among children, or with the fairer sex, unless they are composed of icewater. Perhaps it shouldn't be watched it all, since it offers no hope or solution to the degraded state of man. I don't think Kubrick's forthright amorality should be mistaken for genius.

Summary: Your glazzies will be glued to the screen
Review: More than thirty years on A CLOCKWORK ORANGE remains a masterpiecce despite being somewhat dated. In fact I found this to add to the fun.
Alex is a young criminal who terrorises the streets of England sometime in the not so distant future with his band of boiler suited, bowler hatted droogs. The gang takes great pleasure in donning their "maskies", drinking molokko in their favourite cafe (milk lace with amphetamines) and beating drunken old vecks, raping devotckas and generally making life hell for anybody who dares to cross their paths. However after one nights ultra-violent pillaging, Alex's droogs desert thier leader and he is arrested and forced to undergo an experiment which aims to cure him of his violent ways. But is it really effective?
Personally this is my favourite of all Kubrick's movies, Malcolm McDowell gives one of his best performances as Alex and though it's relatively tame today, this satire is still darkly funny and utterly compelling. I haven't seen the uncut version which runs about 15 minutes longer (Reputedly there's a rape scene that's ten minutes long. Eeeeww. I don't know if that's true or not) but this is great. I've seen the movie about five times so far and I highly recommend it. The cast also features Partick McGoohan and a pre- STAR WARS David Prowse.

Summary: A Great Movie
Review: This movie is brilliant. Visually it is unique, the music selection (mostly Beethovern) is powerful, and the philosophical themes of the movie really will make you think. To me, this is more than just a great movie though. Its a scientific experiment on the audience. As the audience watches A Clockwork Orange, they are seduced into numerous violent scenes, each beatifully orchestrated by Kubrick. Are we all prone to view violence with pleasure rather than sickness? I think the movie proves the affirmative. Chilling.

Summary: Thank god Kubrick is dead.
Review: I really have a hard time understanding all the raves about this movie. Most of the raves are from men. The type of men who would call "Thelma and Louise" a violent film.I worked in a theatre when I was in college, and they had a showing of A Clockwork Orange. The audience for these showings was 100% male, most of whom looked like the kind of guys who couldn't get a date and were extremely angry about it. A Clockwork Orange relieved some of that anger for them, especially the rape scene, which more than a few of them were chuckling at. It was the creepiest audience I had seen in several months of working there. The ticket taker mentioned that she thought they were all weird, which bolstered my observations. These are the same morons you find on internet chat rooms - they're such losers that they can't show themselves in public. This movie, with its rampant miogyny, serves as vindication for guys who can't get laid. So does the Howard Stern show. So does Maxim. And so it goes. The author of the book by the same name was upset with Kubrick's interpretation of his work - it was supposed to be an anti-rape, anti-violence book, and comes out as a pro-rape, pro-violence movie in the way that it glamourizes both behaviors. I can't agree more that Kubrick was "visually brillant" - however, in this case, and probably a few others, he is morally bankrupt.

Summary: Kubrick's Masterpiece....
Review: Although all Kubrick's films are briliant, this has to be his finest work. A week or two after finishing the book, I was eager to see the movie made by one of my favorite directors, Stanley Kubrick. I had pretty high expectations, having loved the book and having loved every other Kubrick film I've seen. Well my expectations were fulfilled. A Clockwork Orange is the Story of Alex (Malcolm McDowell), a young teen with a taste for some of the old ultraviolence, and his cronies, Dim, Georgie, and Pete. While out making trouble one night, Alex is arrested, while the rest of the crew escape.While in prison, Alex is used as a guinea pig for a new method of treatment, which is ultimately supposed to stop someone from comitting violent acts by a sort of sensory overload thing with video and music and stuff. It's sort of hard to explain. Well, he's finally released and, well, lets just say his past catches up with him. What goes around comes around, sort of.
This classic, controversial film is one of my favorite movies and, as long as your open-minded enough, I think it could become one of your favorites, too. But be warned its definitely not for the weak of heart. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE
RELEASED IN 1971
DIRECTED BY STANLEY KUBRICK
STARRING MALCOLM MCDOWELL, AUBREY MORRIS, JAMES MARCUS, WARREN CLARKE, AND MICHEAL TARNE

Summary: A study in the ultraviolent
Review: A masterpiece from a master. A CLOCKWORK ORANGE explores the depths of a violence and satyrically is a mirror image in portions of studies and experiments performed in the U.S. during the same time. The film deserves 5 STARS!! The DVD was lacking like many of the Kubrick classics in extra content. That is the only reason I would drop the DVD a star.

Summary: "Artsy" Film about Violence, the Original Human Plague
Review: Today's news reports deliver us images of senseless violence each day. School shootings, child abductions, wars in various parts of the world, evil inflicted on innocent fellow human beings. We have long grown accustomed to this aspect of life, no longer shocked or even surprised at what goes on even in our own neighborhoods. "A Clockwork Orange", although extreme in its depiction of terror, is actually not that far from the mark of realism. Made in 1971, this was considered a very brutal film for its time. In 2002, I still wonder why this movie is only rated "R". It contains a lot of scenes of rape, nudity, graphic violence, and other mayhem that I believe caused it to be banned in several countries. But it has also won praise from many critics and is considered to be a cult classic. Set in near-future England, this film tells the story of Alex. On the surface, Alex (played by twenty-something Malcolm McDowell) is a typical teenage boy who engages in meaningless conversations with his parents, puts on a good show in front his counselor... and does other things to keep up appearances. However, Alex is a gang member who indulges in every sort of impulsive criminal activity possible while listening to Beethoven to psyche himself up. One night, Alex and his gang break into a lady's house. The rest of the gang is outside while Alex struggles with the lady until he eventually kills her. After Alex leaves the house, his gang turns on him and leaves him to fend for himself until the police arrive. Alex is sent to prison. After a while, Alex wants to reform. He has a chance when a new behavioral experiment called the "Ludovico" treatment is in need of guinea pigs. Alex volunteers. The experiment is a brainwashing method that causes Alex to be sickened by any form of sex or violence. It even causes him to be sickened by Beethoven's music. After Alex is released from prison, several things happen. His family disowns him, his former friends are now police officers that assault him, and the experiment has other side effects than just eliminating his urges. He is no longer able to defend himself when attacked as well. This is not an easy movie to watch with the numerous physically and emotionally violent scenes, but it does make you ask yourself a few things. Is society justified in destroying a predator by creating a victim? Or who needs reform the most: the criminals or the society that continues to punish them after their legitimate sentences have been served? The film is not one that offers any quick or easy answers, yet it shows a perspective of societal problems that is equally timely for 1971 or 2002. Clearly not for "mixed audiences", this film demands an open mind as well as a worldy view. To look inside of the warped mind of a recreational violent bully and search for the "human" hidden somewhere requires much forgiveness and a sense of wanting to help rather than seek revenge. An important film, indeed, yet due to excessive "adult" scenes (making it unsuitable even for teenagers) I give one fewer than 5 stars.

Summary: Arguably Kubrics Definitive Masterpiece
Review: This movie destroyed conventions, defied an entire generation, and has been studied and gawked at for decades. It will continue to amaze viewers for many more generations. This movie was created decades before it's time, perhaps the reason that up until the year 2000 Kubric personally banned it from British cinema. I should interject a word of caution however to anyone who is considering viewing this film; it's not for the faint of heart. Violence and deviance are portrayed in very repulsive and shocking ways throughout this film, and while this is done to evoke these exact sorts of emotions, the rawness of the content may not be appealing to some viewers. It's important to note that such content is merely an abstract part of a much larger question that the movie addresses about the importance of human choice; the viewer will likely love or hate this movie based on the importantce they place on this topic. (For me,) The key to understanding the importance of this movie lies in the interpretation that it is an important fable about how we define justice in our society. I will go no further in trying to explain this movie, it truly must be grasped and decided upon by the individual, for this is where the true power of this film lies.

Summary: Powerful, Gripping, and beyond comprension!
Review: A Cockwork Orange is Stanley Kubrick's best film to date and is the most provicative movie ever. It is as much as sick as the date it was released in 1972 and truly takes your breath away. With Kubrick's ingnious colors and directing and Malcolm McDowell's excellent performance makes the movie all so special.
It may be too sickining for others ,but for serious filmmakers you need to see a Clockwork Orange.
